Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel once looked amazingly alike. A fact that the singer knew how to use.

In the music video for Katy Perry's (36) new single "Not The End Of The World" actress Zooey Deschanel (40, "(500) Days of Summer") is mistaken for the singer by Aliens. It used to be the other way around and Perry was mistaken for the star of the sitcom "New Girl". A fact that the singer liked to take advantage of, as she confessed to Deschanel in a joint Instagram live conversation.

Katy Perry had "no cash" for clubs

"When I moved to L.A. about 18 years ago, I was nobody and you were so huge," recalled the musician, who made her big break in 2008 with "I Kissed A Girl". "As if Zooey Deschanel ruled the world." At the time, Perry went "very often to party" and wanted to go to clubs for which she had "absolutely no money or assertiveness". "So I pretended to be you sometimes," she revealed in an interview with her 40-year-old Hollywood colleague.

For Zooey Deschanel, Perry's confession came as no surprise. "My friends used to say to me that they saw me partying," she said. However, the TV star knew "that it was absolutely not me" and wondered who this Katy was, who apparently looks so much like her.

Zooey Deschanel noticed their resemblance nine years ago

The actress noticed in 2009 that she could now pass for Katy Perry's double. In an interview with MTV recently, she said: "It's a bit annoying. The only similarity we have is that we look a little bit alike." However, she met Perry before and got to know her as "a nice person".
