The comic and star of "The Upshaws" also weighed in on Kravitz's viral workout look.

According to some people, everyone has a celebrity doppelgänger. For Wanda Sykes, it's apparently... Lenny Kravitz?

Wednesday's episode of The Jennifer Hudson Show features Sykes explaining that she's been mistaken for the rocker.

"It happened twice, and only in New Orleans," the comedy star tells Hudson. "They probably drank everything on Bourbon Street."

Sykes has told the tale before, as she did in October on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

"I'm so sorry, Lenny," Sykes told Kimmel. "I apologize to Lenny."

She continued, "I was like, good. I guess Lenny must be working on his pecks."

Speaking of Kravitz working out, Hudson asked Sykes if she had seen that video of the "Are You Gonna Go My Way?" singer working out in what looked like an ensemble he would wear onstage: a mesh tank top, leather pants, and, of course, sunglasses.

Sykes had and she was amazed.

"If I lift like 20 pounds, I gotta take my sports bra off," The Upshaws star joked to Hudson.

"That's not even human right there," Sykes said of Kravitz's ability to pump iron in full rocker wardrobe.

Kravitz later said that his look had been about time and not his image.

"I'm always working out in leather pants or jeans and boots and whatever — if I'm not doing cardio," he told Variety. "If I'm doing cardio, obviously I'm going to wear sweats because I'm going to be sweating all over the place. But if I'm lifting weights, I don't sweat so much."
