Elle Fanning has revealed she thinks she looks like Bill Hader, and we are quite fascinated.

The Great actress, who attended the Emmys this week as a nominee for her work on the hit show, shared that she even had a special mission after seeing the comparisons online.

Although this opinion might not have been one we’d predict, 24-year-old Elle had zero complaints.

Explaining why she had her eye out for the former Saturday Night Live star on the red carpet, the actress said: ‘There is something on Twitter that I saw that I look like him. And I love it! And so Nicholas Hoult — who is in the show with me — all we want to do tonight is I have to get a photo, because I think we look alike.’

Expanding on the features she reckons they share, she added to Access: ‘We have the same nose!’

I guess we can kind of see it? Although this is not the first time in recent months that a body part of Bill’s has grabbed headlines.

Still, the star was keen to try and get her photo with Bill for herself, Nicholas and the fans, admitting: ‘I would die. I’ve gotta reel him in!’

With the interviewer exclaiming that Elle’s opinion ‘was a compliment for Hader’, she joked: ‘We’ll see what he says.’

Although no photo evidence has yet emerged, Bill, 44, was at the Emmys too as fellow nominee, following reports of a split earlier this summer with rumoured girlfriend, Anna Kendrick.

His show Barry, about a hit man from the Midwest who moves to Los Angeles and gets caught up in the city’s theatre arts scene, was given the nod in multiple categories, including lead actor in a comedy series and outstanding comedy series.

Ultimately, he walked away empty handed – as did Elle – but was a previous winner in 2019.

In a recent interview with Metro.co.uk, Elle revealed the hidden lengths she went to while acting as heavily pregnant Catherine, future empress of Russia, for season two of The Great.

‘I knew the baby bump would really work in terms of the high stakes of it, as well as the comedy of me waddling around and having pregnancy cravings, wanting to eat dirt and suck on rusty nails – which I actually did do, because the chocolate nails weren’t really working for me.

She added: ‘I hoped I wouldn’t have to wear corsets but I still had to wear one underneath my bump. That was added discomfort!’
