Of course us '90s kids remember Full House and the many main characters of the show, but what made the sitcom truly memorable were the relationships those characters formed with the supporting roles. That was especially true about the three girls and their friends, and one of the most iconic side characters was Michelle Tanner's friend Dereck, aka "Yankee Doodle Boy."

However, a lot of fans mistakenly remember him as Macaulay Culkin, who was a super popular '90s child actor, likely because of the blonde hair and porcelain skin. Recently folks may have gotten a rude awakening when they realized it is not Culkin who portrays him at all , but rather actor Blake Ewing, who recently appeared a Full House rewatch podcast with Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin.

"Derek and Macaulay Culkin are two different people? Whoops," joked one fan.
"Are he and Culkin cousins," another asked honestly.
Others thought he had a different celebrity lookalike now that he's grown up.
