One’s a BAFTA award winning director, the other’s a member of every 15 year old girl’s favourite boyband… but fans can’t tell them apart…

Whilst travelling through London this morning, a fan excitedly mistook Noel Clarke for a member of the 2008 X Factor finalists, JLS. Tweeting this morning Noel Clarke claimed “Just had a kid n his mum ask if I was in JLS”.

Never one to disappoint, rather than explaining who he actually was, Noel “said yes n moonwalked away” (well, actually he didn’t, but with hindsight he wished he did).

Having carefully analysed each member of the MOBO award winning band, we can only assume the fan mistook the Kidulthood star for 23 year old JLS’ JB, who, despite being 11 year his junior, Noel arguably bears a passing resemblance to.

In other news, someone seriously needs to start a JB fan-group. While all the other JLS members have some serious Wiki pages to their names, the biog on this poor guy consists of just three sentences. Is JB the most forgettable member of JLS?
