Actress Michelle Williams reveals that even her own mother once confused her with Destiny’s Child’s Michelle Williams.

September 1, 2025: Hollywood star Michelle Williams recently shared a hilarious story about being mistaken for another famous Michelle Williams — and this time, it came from her very own mother.

A Case of Mixed-Up Michelles

In a new interview, the Oscar-winning actress revealed that her mom once confused her with singer Michelle Williams, best known as a member of Destiny’s Child. The actress laughed as she recalled her mother accidentally referencing the pop star instead of her during a conversation.

The Name Confusion Continues

The mix-up is far from rare. Both Michelles have had long, successful careers in completely different industries, yet fans (and even family members) often confuse them because of their identical names. The actress admitted that she finds it more funny than frustrating and said she’s used to clarifying “which Michelle Williams” she is at events.

Lighthearted Reaction

Instead of taking offense, Williams said she embraces the mix-ups with humor. “If even my mom can get it wrong, then what hope is there for everyone else?” she joked.

The story adds to the long-running pop culture mix-ups between the actress and the singer, proving that sometimes even Hollywood A-listers aren’t safe from a little identity confusion.
