Michelle Williams And Michelle Williams Finally Met For The First Time—And It's Everything

Celebrities put so much thought into what their name will be when they appear on the stage or screen, often going with a catchier version of their name or a pseudonym, so it's surprisingly uncommon to come across two people with exactly the same name.

But Destiny's Child's Michelle Williams and Dawson's Creek's Michelle Williams have been getting confused by viewers and the media for years. Though their appearances and even entertainment mediums are different, their matching names have always managed to trip people up!

But this past weekend at a performance of Death Becomes Her on Broadway, where Destiny's Child's Williams plays Viola Van Horn, the two Michelles finally met each other off stage left. Their giddy reactions to meeting, from Destiny's Michelle bouncing on her tiptoes to Dawson's Michelle gesturing wildly, were everything.

You can see their first meeting here:

And to hard launch their meeting with each other, Michelle from Destiny's Child shared a fun video on Instagram.

In the video, Michelle appears excited about the turnout for Death Becomes Her, stating:

"Y'all, we had an amazing show tonight! The crowd was lit; we love lit crowds, and so, I've got more things to sign..."

As she grabs photographs to sign, it's clear that the pictures are not of her, but of a blonde girl.

There is a noise off camera, then Michelle whines:

"What do you waaaant?"

The camera pans to reveal blonde Michelle Williams sitting on a pedestal chair, who asks who she should make them out to, to which Destiny's Michelle replies:

"Would you make them out to... meeee?"

You can watch the video here:

Fans were thoroughly entertained not only by the two Michelle Williamses meeting each other, but also by the idea of an autograph being from one Michelle Williams to another Michelle Williams.

This is one of those rare celebrity meetings that is so cute, simply because the jokes and misunderstandings have been going on for so long.

But instead of looking at this negatively, the two women were thoroughly entertained by meeting each other and decided to make the absolute best of "saying their name."
