Helen Hunt’s recent trip to Starbucks ended in a pretty hilarious mix-up

Helen Hunt is a well-known, award-winning actress based in America, who has won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in As Good As It Gets with Jack Nicholson.

She is a well-known face in Hollywood, that has also won multiple Emmys and Screen Actors Guild Awards. But even Helen Hunt has her name mixed up in Starbucks sometimes. The star tweeted earlier today about an encounter with a Starbucks barista. Hunt asked her if she needed her name, and the barista gave her a knowing look. Naturally, Hunt assumed the staff member has recognised her, so was surprised to get a cup back with the word 'Jody' on it.

Memo to us all, Jodie Foster and Helen Hunt are DIFFERENT WOMEN. Not the same person. At least she took it in good humour. (Here's Helen, and underneath is Jodie. Bet the barista is scarlet.) @HelenHunt @Starbucks Classic! You were awesome in "Mad About the Lambs." — Lariat Winslow (@Lariat_Winslow) May 23, 2016
