Singer Michelle Williams jokes about receiving fan mail for namesake actress

Singer Michelle Williams has joked about receiving fan mail for the actress of the same name.

The former Destiny's Child star took to Instagram on Sunday to share a photo of a letter and two red carpet snaps of The Greatest Showman actress.

"Fan Mail," she wrote in the caption, adding laughing and cringing face emojis.

Michelle, who is currently appearing in the musical adaptation of Death Becomes Her on Broadway, went on to note that she had discovered that the other Michelle also receives fan mail meant for her.

"I found out that when she was on Broadway in Cabaret, she had also gotten mail with my pictures too! That makes me happy!" the 45-year-old exclaimed.

And it's not the first time people have confused the two Michelles.

Back in 2019, the We Break the Dawn hitmaker hit out after she began receiving comments from people online after Michelle won an Emmy Award for her performance in Fosse/Verdon.

"How come when y'all are tagging and congratulating a person, do y'all see that I'm Black?" she asserted during an Instagram Live at the time. "When you go to my profile, you search for the 'Michelle Williams,' I am Black. OK? I ain't mixed with nothing; I ain't mixed with Persian, Russian, I am Black."

Based on the 1992 film, Death Becomes Her is now showing at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in New York City.
