Strong previously spoke about the comparisons to Tucci while appearing on the BBC'sThe One Showin 2025.
"We met, actually, and I had to confess to him that somebody once asked me to sign a poster because they thought I was him, and she wouldn't take no for an answer. So, I just signed it as him," Strong said.
"And he, when we met, told me he's done the same. So I don't know why we get mistaken for each other," the actor continued of himself and Tucci.
Added Strong: "I played a character inKingsmanwho had, sort of, glasses. I suppose we look similar, and you can find a photo of us looking similar. But we've become good friends, so that's a bonus!"
Tucci and Strong have yet to star in a film together. However, they did pose for a photo at the opening night ofA View from the Bridgeon London's West End in 2015.
Strong starred in the production of the Arthur Miller play as it was revived in London and later on Broadway.
