Fans can’t quite accept that Glenn Close and EastEnders legend are different people

EastEnders’ Shirley Carter (Linda Henry) is synonymous with her unique style – from her short, blonde hair to her usual cigarette – but now Hollywood A-lister Glenn Close is coming for her look.

After an image emerged of Glenn starring in new Netflix movie The Deliverance, EastEnders fans were left baffled by how alike the two stars look.

Glenn is an icon of the silver screen, having starred in such works as Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons, though it was her likeness to Shirley in her latest role that sent EastEnders fans into a spin.

Fans were quick to rush to Twitter/X to share their observations, much to the amusement of their followers.

User Shane hilariously quipped, ‘This is apparently Glenn Close in an upcoming Netflix movie but all I see is Shirley Carter from EastEnders,’ while Chris pointed out that, ‘Glenn Close IS Shirley Carter’.

Even users who aren’t regular EastEnders viewers admitted that they saw the likeness!
