Trending Now: Amanda Peet Says Husband Dated Her Celebrity Doppelgänger – Fans React

Amanda Peet is opening up about her husband David Benioff’s surprisingly intimate history with her famous doppelgänger, Lake Bell.

Appearing on Dax Shepherd’s “Armchair Expert” podcast this week, the “Your Friends & Neighbors” actor revealed that Benioff dated Bell while he and and his now-wife were on a nine-month hiatus from their relationship.

“It was a mutual breakup. I wanted to have a baby so badly, I was 31,” Peet, now 54, explained. “So I was really looking down the barrel of… it was rough. I find out, from through the grapevine, that he’s dating her.”

The situation got even worse, she said, when her girlfriends decided to take her out to dinner with the intention of cheering her up.

“From across the bar, this dude just goes: ‘Lake! Lake!’ And I was like, ‘This actually can’t be happening,’” she recalled. “It was literally within 24 hours of finding out.”

Peet did not identify the restaurant patron who had mistaken her for Bell, noting only that he was a fellow actor. She told the man that she wasn’t Bell, but admitted her response might have been a bit more aggressive than she’d intended given the timing.

“I would pay so much money to see how I said it to him,” she quipped, after describing herself as the “jealous type.”

Benioff, a writer-producer best known as the co-creator of “Game of Thrones,” and Peet have been married since 2006 and share three children.

As for Bell, the “Bless This Mess” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” star was married to tattoo artist Scott Campbell from 2013 to 2020. The former couple share two children.

Elsewhere in her “Armchair Expert” chat, Peet said she’d been confused for Bell so many times over the years, it inspired a scene in her new movie, “Fantasy Life,” in which she portrays an out-of-work actor.

Jokes aside, she had nothing but praise for Bell, saying she was “beautiful.”

Bell, 46, addressed the comparisons in a 2019 interview with The A.V. Club, even naming Peet as the actor she’d cast to play herself in a biopic.

“She’s incredible,” she said. “I feel like it’s a huge compliment; she’s a smokeshow and really talented, and she was here first. She was here first with the light eyes and the brown hair and the, you know, the features.”
