Zachary Levi Jokes About Being a John Krasinski Lookalike in Funny Video

Zachary Levi pokes fun at the fact that he’s always mistaken as John Krasinski. Levi rose to mainstream stardom for voicing Flynn Rider in Disney’s 2010 animated film Tangled. He is also known for playing the titular character in the critically acclaimed series Chuck between 2007 and 2012. In 2019, Levi was launched into the DCEU as Shazam, the superhero with impressive superpowers given by an ancient wizard. The film was a major box office hit worldwide and critics praised Levi’s well-rounded performance.

Levi is set to reprise his role in the highly anticipated sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The movie is slated to be released in 2023. Before that, the actor will be busy with a string of projects outside of the DCEU, including Apollo 10½, an upcoming animated sci-fi film about the 1969 moon landing. He is also part of the cast in the Chicken Run sequel, replacing Mel Gibson as the voice of Rocky. Levi’s various roles throughout his career definitely show his versatility as a character actor.

Levi recently posted a hilarious video on Instagram showing the many characters he’s played throughout the years, while also joking about being Krasinski’s lookalike. Hopping on the viral trend of using The Ting Tings’ “That’s Not My Name” song, Levi shared a montage of his previous roles starting with Chuck, Flynn Rider, Kurt Warner in The American Underdog, Fandral in Thor: The Dark World, Toby in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, and Billy Batson/Shazam. At the very last clip, he inserted a photo of Krasinksi, referring to the circulating joke about his uncanny resemblance to the A Quiet Place actor. See the funny video below:

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that Levi has reacted to people’s observation that he and Krasinski are celebrity lookalikes. In 2018, the Tangled actor shared a screenshot of a fan’s message telling complimenting him for The Office and A Quiet Place. He also took the confusion in stride and wrote on the caption: “Another day, another opportunity to be mistaken for [John Krasinski].

Meanwhile, Krasinski has yet to comment on Levi’s recent post. As the actor/director is quite active on social media himself, it may only be a matter of days before Levi’s video reaches him. A good-humored exchange between the two lookalikes would certainly excite their fans and spark an internet discussion. Better yet, it could even be the start of a project where they could play brothers. With Krasinksi joining the DC cinematic family with the DC League of Super-Pets, anything is surely possible.
