The goof up is real!

Turns out, actor Justin Theroux and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's similar names confused people into thinking that actress Jennifer Aniston called it quits with the Canadian prime minister.

Aniston and Theroux announced their separation on February 15 after two-and-a-half years of marriage, and sent a section of Twitterati into a tizzy.

While Theroux and Trudeau share lots of similarities, such as the same age, belonging to famous families, French-Canadian descent, some major tattoos, and the French-speaking skills, the goof-up is interesting considering both Justins are famous.

Trudeau has emerged as one of the most popular faces among world leaders, especially among liberals. 

Meanwhile, Theroux has starred in movies like Star Wars: The Last Jedi and written the screenplay for movies like Iron Man 2.

Also, Trudeau has been married to Sophie Gregorie since 2005 (interestingly, the year Aniston and Brad Pitt divorced) and have three children. And the family is constantly in the public eye.

But all of this was apparently lost on people like these:
