Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel

The aliens in Katy Perry’s latest videos aren’t the only ones who can’t tell the difference between the “Firework” singer and Zooey Deschanel.

According to a conversation the pair had on Instagram Live Monday (December 21st) plenty of Hollywood bouncers thought that Perry was the former New Girl star.

Perry admitted, “When I first went to LA, I went to the club a lot. And I wanted to get into the club and I had no money. I had no clout. I had nothing. And sometimes I would pose as you to get into the club.”

The pop star looked embarrassed when Deschanel told her she already knew.  She said she took it as a compliment when she finally met Perry and realized how pretty she is.
