Doppelgangers 20 Celebs Who Look Exactly Like Other Stars (& Confuse Us Every Time)
When some people say, bitterly, that celebrities all look the same, we politely tend to disagree. Celebrities offer a wide variety of sizes, styles, and personalities, and in a way represent all the different kinds of people that are out there. At least, that's what we're seeing more and more nowadays.
On the flip side of that is the understanding that one actor can't play all the different parts they might be suitable for. Filming takes a long, long time, and celebrities can only do so much! We need celebs who look similar to each other because of all the different parts that are out there. This inevitably ends up with a little bit of confusion on our end, however.
How many of us have watched a movie and gone “Oh, I didn't know so-and-so was in this!” only to realize that it was not so-and-so at all. We've gone through and found 10 of the most famous and/or interesting doppelganger celebrities. These are the folks that we personally confuse all the time, as well as the ones that might have surprised us a little bit!
Who else has confused any of these celebrities? If they haven't been seen as doppelgangers before, they sure will be now.
20 Isla Fisher Is Adorable, But So Is Amy Adams
It's something about redheads, isn't it? Isla Fisher is one of the funniest redheads out there, making it difficult to come to terms with the fact that a lot of times we confuse her for Amy Adams. Why? Maybe it's the fact that they're both adorable.
They have these cheeky, mischievous smiles that make it so it looks like they're always thinking of some way to prank us.
Amy Adams, however, has taken on more of a dramatic role in Sharp Objects, what we've heard to be her newest acting job. Hopefully we see Isla Fisher in something else too. That way we'll truly be able to appreciate her work without confusing her for Amy Adams.
19 Kristen Stewart's Got The '90s Look Locked Thanks To Twinning With Alicia Silverstone
The thin brows, the chilled out look in the eyes, and the smile that says “I'm here." Kristen Stewart has, for whatever reason, invoked feelings of the good old fashioned '90s for a long time now. Maybe it's the eyeliner, or maybe it's just the fact that she looks like a moodier Alicia Silverstone. Whatever the reason, these two could totally play twins; or at least mother/daughter. The one thing we think that Kristen Stewart really needs to add to her style repertoire is this classic Silverstone hairstyle. Butterfly clips and a half-up 'do? Stewart could totally rock it with her '90s vibes.
18 Blake Lively's Doppelganger Can Be Seen Onstage
Blake Lively has taken the world by storm with a series of incredibly successful roles. Not to mention her fashion sense, which has all of us drooling. While Kesha might be the type to rock body glitter instead of plaid pantsuits, the visual similarities between them are stunning.
The big blond hair is the first tip-off that these two might seriously be doppelgangers.
Not to mention their noses. The facial structure is incredibly similar between the two, especially when seen from the right angle. Is it possible that they could be actual twins? No. But we are waiting for Blake Lively to troll Ryan Reynolds using Kesha as a second Lively.
17 Jessica Chastain Has A Distinct Redheaded Doppelganger
Taking the producing world by storm is Jessica Chastain. This stunning redhead has a long list of successes on her resume, and we're sure that everyone has seen her perform at least once. The actor-turned-producer is a passionate advocate of equality and human rights, as the Hollywood Reporter revealed in their interview with her. However, she's not unique in her look.
Bryce Dallas Howard has actually caught our eye as a Jessica Chastain look-alike several times now.
The fact that they're both accomplished actors doesn't help us with telling them apart either! Oh well; we're sure that neither would be insulted by the comparison, especially when they're both such incredible women.
16 Leighton Meester, Or Minka Kelly? Admittedly It's Hard To Tell
Leighton Meester could almost be another Blake Lively doppelganger, but we found someone even closer. While Meester and Lively are both beautifully blonde, their face shapes are entirely different. Lively's nose is more straight, while Meester has more of an upturn at the end. It's the nose that knows why we chose Minka as Meester's doppelganger; their face shapes are incredibly similar, right down to that adorable little nose. Now, we might not be able to call them truly identical due to their differences in hair color. If Meester ever decided to go brunette, however, they could definitely be cast as identical twins.
15 Anne Hathaway's Totally Twinning With Krysten Ritter
It's very rare that we find similar celebrities with exactly the same eye color too! While Krysten Ritter, also known as Jessica Jones for any other fans out there, might have a slightly different style than Anne Hathaway, it's hard to ignore the similarities.
Not only do Hathaway and Ritter share similar lip shapes, but both of them even have a similar smile!
If Anne Hathaway ever decided to pull off the black hair and bangs style that Krysten Ritter rocks, we think she'd be able to do it well. That's the nice thing about having a doppelganger; we can check out what looks good on them before taking the plunge ourselves!
14 Ian Somerhalder's Definitely Got A Twin In Chace Crawford
We admit these two cool dudes might have slightly different thicknesses of eyebrows. But the general look remains the same and proves that we might not be as good with faces as we thought we were. For those that don't know, a quick Google search reveals that Chace Crawford was one of the many heartthrobs who worked on Gossip Girl. Ian Somerhalder we've watched in slightly more adult roles on Lost and The Vampire Diaries. At the end of the day, both of these guys are supremely good looking. It's easy to confuse them for each other, considering they're both tall, mysterious, and handsome!
13 Elizabeth Banks Looks So Close To Julie Bowen
From the right angle, these two successful actors could definitely count towards the doppelganger experience. Both of them have roles on TV shows, although the subject matter is quite different between the two. The comedic timing, however, is the same, with Elizabeth Banks totally rocking her old 30 Rock role. Julie Bowen has impressed us for a long time as well with her character on Modern Family. Could it be that these two are long-lost siblings? Maybe they're just actors that share a similar look and love of comedy. Whatever it is, we've definitely confused Banks and Bowen in our personal lives before!
12 David Beckham Might Be A Heartthrob, But He Shares That Status With Young Twin Liam Payne
David Beckham is not 23 anymore. We're not entirely sure how old he is (we don't want to ruin the young Beckham fantasy either) but it's clear that he's grown and matured over time. Beckham, for those that are unaware, is not just famous for being Victoria's husband even though that feels like the dynamic nowadays. We remember a time when Beckham was a fairly famous soccer player.
Liam Payne seems to be taking the spotlight with a bit of a look-alike status in comparison with Beckham.
After he left One Direction, we haven't heard too much from Payne. We might be willing to start paying attention, though, especially if he's going to age as well as Beckham has.
11 Mila Kunis Is Well Aware Of Her Twin
Celebrities seem so untouchable to us that it's always a surprise to hear that they know each other. Unlike other celebrity doppelgangers, Kunis and Hyland actually seem to relish the identity mix-ups that happen when they're confused for one another. Even they know that they look similar. In fact, they're such iconic doppelgangers that InStyle just had to ask Hyland how they feel about it. Hyland told InStyle, “[Kunis] said that sometimes she pretends she's me because it makes her feel young. I asked if I could pretend to be her next time somebody asks me if I'm her, and she said OK."
10 We All Know Of Natalie Portman's Famous Faux Twin
We admit that we don't know whether or not Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman have the same kind of twinning relationship that Kunis and Hyland have. The two women are each accomplished actors in their own right. Both have had outstanding roles, such as Portman's portrayal in the movie Black Swan.
While Natalie Portman seems to be rocking more of a brunette hue lately, these women were still the spitting image of each other without the identical hair color.
Did Portman dye her hair for a role, or to gain the status of true Knightley twin? We don't know. Whatever the reason, though, they certainly look great.
9 We Can't Wait For Tom Hardy And Logan Marshall-Green To Play Brothers
Seriously, just look at the two of them. These boys have exactly the same cheeky smile. Their facial hair might be slightly different, but the look in the eyes is unmistakable. While they might not ever be able to play twins like Kunis and Hyland or Kesha and Lively, Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green would absolutely rock our world if they ever decided to play brothers. Siblings have even more of a connection than just doppelgangers. It wouldn't be right to call these two doppelgangers, as they aren't exactly the same looks-wise. What really sells it for us is the smile. That energy speaks volumes about who they are as people. They're not quite identical, but they're definitely confusing kindred spirits.
8 Katy Perry And Zooey Deschanel Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin
This is a personal one that we've always considered a no-brainer, but after talking it over with friends we realized that maybe other people don't quite see it this way.
We believe that Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel are doppelgangers.
They're two sides of the same coin, though, which is part of the reason they might not be as readily identified as twins. Just look at them for a second. Both of them have rocked dark locks for a long time. While Katy Perry doesn't have bangs often anymore, they have the similar bright eyes and loud lipsticks. Zooey Deschanel owns her awkward-yet-funny status, while Katy Perry is more of the candy bra style. Different styles, but the same look.
7 Margot Robbie Easily Passes For Jaime Pressly
Margot Robbie, after her incredible performance in I, Tonya, has stolen our hearts. That's it; we don't think we'll ever love another actor as much as we love Margot Robbie. Her intensity, her subtlety, and her amazing work ethic all combine to make her one powerhouse of a celebrity. Is it possible that she was inspired by the likes of Jaime Pressly? While Jaime Pressly and Margot Robbie exist in different spheres of the entertainment world, they're both just as hardworking and as devoted as each other. They're incredibly similar looks-wise, right down to the intense stare and short, blonde hair. Talk about twins!
6 Henry Cavill Will Look Like Matt Bomer… After He Shaves!
We appreciate the fact that Henry Cavill is probably rocking that mustache for a role. After all, it's a pretty bold choice. One that we're not entirely sure we support, of course. It's Cavill's face, though, and a famous actor like him can certainly change up his appearance however he wants.
Until that mustache is gone we'll be over here eyeing up Matt Bomer.
Mustache-free, but still a bit scruffy, Matt Bomer has always been our favorite suave man with a heart of gold. Remember when we said how it's nice to have a doppelganger to test out styles on? At least now Bomer knows that he can stay away from the mustache look.
5 Nina Dobrev And Victoria Justice Know They're Super Similar (And Have Even Talked About It)
Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice are two celebrities that have Hyland and Kunis levels of twinning happening. While they might not be as open and jokey about it as Kunis and Hyland are, Teen Vogue released an article that showed that they definitely recognize the similarities. Teen Vogue pointed out how the two of them were not only hanging out, but also snapping photos together that highlighted just how similar they are. People couldn't stop pointing it out after they posted about it. Not to mention how sweet both of them are. If that's not proof of their twinness, we don't know what is!
4 Brie Larson Has An Up-And-Coming Twin To Watch Out For
Brie Larson might currently be riding the superhero fame wave, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's not looking for other, future roles.
Could one future role consist of playing the mother of Natasha Bure?
According to People, Bure is the daughter of Candace Cameron Bure. We don't believe that Natasha Bure is focused solely on the acting. In fact, People reports that she was a competitor on The Voice, firmly placing her in the singing celebrity category. While we're sure Larson has a lovely voice, the singing skills are truly the thing that's setting them apart from each other. Otherwise, the up and coming Bure would be a perfect copy of Brie Larson.
3 Kit Harington's Pretty Gleeful Over Being Darren Criss's Doppelganger
Picture quality aside, there are a few distinct differences that come between Kit Harington and Darren Criss. Namely, the hair. Due to Harington's popular role on the show Game of Thrones he's had to keep his hair fairly long. No spoilers, but we're very excited to see if he's going to cut it now that it's looking like he's moving on from Game of Thrones. Darren Criss, on the other hand, seems to have put all of his unruly hair into his eyebrows. While Harington's are small and manageable, Darren Criss has the kind of eyebrows that take large and in charge to a whole new level. Other than those few differences, the two are almost twins.
2 Zoe Saldana Has A Few Doppelgangers, Apparently
Nothing can copy Zoe Saldana's beautiful inner light, but there are some reports of her having secret doppelgangers. While many of these pairs that we've looked at feel like a one-in-a-million match, Saldana seems to be looking at a couple of different twins.
InStyle lists Jada Pinkett Smith as Saldana's twin, while Allure insists that Thandie Newton is the identical pairing.
Which one is more similar? It's hard to judge. Saldana is so unique that it can be tough to choose just one twin. We think that we're in the Thandie Newton camp. A similar smile hints at a similar sort of light inside. Not that Jada Pinkett Smith doesn't have that; Newton's just seems more similar to Saldana's.
1 Harry Styles Is A Very Surprising Young Mick Jagger
Who's the fairest of them all? For many way back in the era of raw rock and roll, Mick Jagger was considered the bad boy for the ages. He was beloved by many, but fewer and fewer folks are falling for him now that age has hit him. We're in luck, though: there's a new direction for rock star heartthrobs, and his name is Harry Styles. This new celebrity is the spitting image of a young Mick Jagger, and we were shook when we first saw the comparison photos. The face shape, the eyes, the vocal talent… It all becomes just too much! We've seen some wild doppelgangers, but this one takes the cake.
