“The idea of me and Elijah Wood is the same…we don’t actually look that alike," he explained. "But if you imagine all our component parts, we’re just short, pale, blue-eyed, big-eyed, brown-haired people."

Although he doesn't think they look alike, he'd still love to do a movie with the actor. Maybe they could play brothers!

“I would love to be in a movie with Elijah Wood. At this point, it feels like it would have to be something that is consciously using the way the world sees us as linked and similar looking," he shared. "I’m very open to pitches.
