Kingsley Ben-Adir says people send him presents intended for Ben Kingsley

'Bob Marley: One Love' star Kingsley Ben-Adir has revealed that people often send him gifts because they think he's Ben Kingsley.

In a new interview with NME, Ben-Adir was asked if he’s ever mistakenly received anything intended for the Oscar-winning actor due to them having similar names. “The first job I did, often I’ll go down to the car and the driver will go, ‘Oh my god, I thought Ben Kingsley was coming down here’, because they get the names mixed up. Elsewhere in the interview, Ben-Adir debunked reports that he originally turned down his lead role in the upcoming biopic Bob Marley: One Love, saying instead that he wanted to make everyone on the production aware that he was nothing like the reggae icon.
