Charlize Theron celebrated someone very special to her on Tuesday when she paid tribute to her former co-star, Nicole Kidman, on her 56th birthday.
The Oscar-winner posted a throwback snapshot with Nicole on Instagram along with a sweet message, but the photo left some fans confused.
The image was taken at the 2002 MTV Movie Awards and Charlize and Nicole twinned in black outfits with matching blonde tresses.
"Happy birthday Nic! Been obsessed with you since 2002," the Fast X star wrote, before her social media followers began commenting.
"She looks exactly like the actress Charlize Theron," one wrote, as another added: "I thought so too."

Charlize wasn't the only one to wish Nicole well on her birthday. Several celebrities chimed in to send her love, including her best friend, Naomi Watts.
The newly-wed actress was one of the first to take to social media to say happy birthday. "Happy birthday my darling friend. Here's to more years of deep friendship and fun adventures," she wrote alongside a photo of them together. "Love you to the moon. So grateful for your love and support."
