Kim Kardashian inadvertently gave Adrien Brody’s social media a major overhaul when she confused him for another actor.

The Oscar-nominated star of The Brutalist stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday, Feb. 3 and told a hilarious story about what happened when Kardashian, 44, tagged him in an Instagram Stories post related to the Netflix series Nobody Wants This.

“Kim Kardashian said, ‘I binged four episodes — it’s so good — must watch!’ [and she tagged] Erin Foster, Kristen Bell, Sara Foster, Adrien Brody, Netflix,” Jimmy Fallon said as he held up a screenshot of Kardashian’s post.

“She blew up my internet,” Adrien, 51, said of the accidental mix-up. “My Instagram just went crazy.”

Fallon then asked if the actor gets “confused” for Adam, 45, very often, to which he said that, since Kardashian’s post, “a few people” have confused the two actors “more often” than they previously did.

“Recently, I was just at dinner with my director of The Brutalist, Brady Corbet, I went to the restroom and this guy came down and he said, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry, my wife is much better at this than I am but, are you Adam Brody?’” Adrien recalled. “And I said, ‘Uh, Adrien Brody.’ And he said, ‘Oh yes, yes, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.’ And then he proceeded to go into the ladies’ room, and I said, ‘That’s the women’s restroom,’ and he said, ‘Yes I’m so sorry, so sorry.’”

Getting mistaken for an Oscar winner more frequently is not the only thing that’s come out of the smash success of Nobody Wants This for Adam.

The O.C. alum also earned a Golden Globe nomination for the show, and he told The Hollywood Reporter, “I’ve gotten a lot of interesting stuff. My email is fuller than it was.”

Adam said he’s not looking to do anything “that is too similar to the show” when it comes to his next project, but, “Other than that, quality of writing is a precious jewel and anything well-written, anyone would be lucky to do it.”

He and Bell are also gearing up to reprise their characters for season 2 of the series — which was announced in October.

Newcomers Jenni Konner and Bruce Eric Kaplan, both of whom joined as executive producers and showrunners, for season 2, said in a statement at the time that work had already begun on the upcoming episodes, and Kaplan said he was “already having the best time working on it.”
