'I pretended I was Bryce': Jessica Chastain admits she impersonated her lookalike Ms. Dallas Howard when approached by fans

They are the lookalike actresses who some find literally inseparable.

And Jessica Chastain admitted she played along with it when some excited Bryce Dallas Howard fans approached her to praise her work.

The saucy redhead told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon she adopted the ploy when approached by some of the Jurassic World star's supporters when she was riding on public transport.

Jessica, 38, said: 'I was on the subway and I saw these kids looking at me, these teenagers.

They come over to me and go, 'I'm sorry. Are you an actress?' I was like, "yes! I'm being recognised. This is what it is going to be like in my future."

'They were going on and on and I was like, "thank you it means so much to me, than you so much." Then they go, "Yes, The Village was such a great movie."'

They were of course talking about the 2004 psychological thriller, about a small town where residents live in fear of creatures inhabiting nearby woods

Go nude with these Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps

Jessica Chastain has been making her rounds to promote her latest flick, Crimson Peak. For her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the red haired beauty wore a red sheath dress with a daring keyhold cutout and her feet were encased in a pair of Christian Louboutin heels.

The patent leather beauties had a peep toe silhouette and a vertiginous platform that made the stilettos staggeringly high. The nude tone means these sexy pumps will go with anything so wear them with your wildest prints or keep it neutral from head to toe.

The star-studded production saw her fellow ginger's name featured above such Oscar-winning luminaries as Adrien Brody and William Hurt, as well multiple nominees Joaquin Phoenix and Sigourney Weaver.

Jessica said: 'I had this moment of, "Do I tell them that they're wrong and it's not me, or do I just pretend I'm Bryce?" And, as one does, I pretended I was Bryce.'

The show's host could not resist getting in on the act himself, and after she said she went as far as signing autographs in her fellow actress' name, he said, 'I sign Jimmy Kimmel every other week.'

The A-list lookalikes, who became friends when they both starred in 2011's The Help together, love nothing better than making light of their similarities.

In fact earlier this year, Jessica posted a comedy song on her Instagram where Bryce impersonated her while wearing sunglasses before revealing her true identity.

Speaking about how they are often mistaken for each other, Bryce previously said: 'First of all, any day where I get confused for Jess is a very good day. She’s one of the most beautiful human beings I’ve ever seen.'
