Let’s face it—celebrities are no doubt some of the most attractive creatures on earth. It’s a real treat to realize that certain celebrities look almost exactly alike. That’s pretty much like double the fun and trouble. It’s even a lot more interesting when this happens purely by coincidence and without the help of plastic surgery. After all, doppelgängers don’t happen all that often, so we can’t help but be tickled pink when it does. For some of these stars, though, the similarities often end on the similarity of their facial structure and even hair color. There are those that have far larger bank accounts than their long-lost twins and are even enjoying a lot more success. There are also others whose doppelgängers are a lot younger and more fresh-faced, giving us a glimpse of the original at the flush of youth without the need of cosmetic surgery. Here are some look-alike celebrities that will surely make you do a double take.
Prince Harry and Kristofer Hivju
Prince Harry needs little introduction as the beloved ginger-haired Prince of England who is currently sixth in line to the throne. It’s interesting to note that his doppelganger also plays a prince of sorts on television. We are, of course, speaking of Kristofer Hivju, who plays Tormund Giantsbane in HBO’s Game of Thrones, one of the leaders of the 'wildlings' of the north. It’s truly hard to look past the hair color and beard, which make their resemblance extremely uncanny—with Prince Harry being a smaller and more compact version, of course.
Mick Jagger and Harry Styles
When Harry Styles rose to stardom as one-fifth of the popular boy band One Direction, many couldn’t help but notice his resemblance to another popular singer, born a good 51 years before Harry. We are, of course, referring to Mick Jagger, front man of the Rolling Stones and certified rock god. Harry’s resemblance to Mick is so uncanny that he even has Mick’s distinctive wide eyes. Despite both having great voices, though, they don’t sound anything alike. Which is a good thing, really, as otherwise, they may claim to be the same person.
Chace Crawford and Ian Somerhalder
Fans simply couldn’t get enough of the extremely handsome Ian Somerhalder who we know from his role in Lost and later, as the star of The Vampire Diaries. Thankfully, Chace Crawford entered the picture when he starred in The Covenant and Gossip Girl. After all, the strategically messy hair, deep-set eyes, and brooding look must be shared and properly divided as it’ll be too much pressure on just one guy. Indeed, it’s not hard to imagine them as twin brothers, except that Ian would already have been in preschool when Chace was born.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Heath Ledger
The similarities between Joseph Gordon-Levitt and the late Heath Ledger definitely go more than skin deep. First of all, it’s undeniable that they look alike—so much so, in fact, that they may as well be brothers. Both became huge stars in the late 90’s to the early 2000’s, even starring together in the teen classic, 10 Things I Hate About You. They were also both part of Christopher Nolan’s take on Batman with Heath starring as The Joker in The Dark Knight and Joseph playing Robin in The Dark Knight Rises. It’s a shame, indeed, that Heath died too young due to drug addiction as it would be interesting to see if how well they stack up against each other these days.
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard
Actresses Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard are both known for their distinctive red hair, which is not at all a common hair color in Hollywood. It’s not just the hair, however, as both really do look almost exactly alike with their pale skin and their gorgeous smiles. So much so, in fact, that it’s easy to mistake one from the other in the roles they play. To be clear, though, it’s Bryce who is the star of the new Jurassic World franchise, while Jessica opts for more critically-acclaimed roles in movies like The Martian, The Help, and Zero Dark Thirty.
Jared Leto and Jake Gyllenhaal
Jared Leto’s stardom started in the early 90’s when he starred as the dreamy Jordan Catalano in the popular series of that time, My So-Called Life. From there, he’s gone on to star in a good number of blockbuster movies, including Fight Club, Suicide Squad, and Dallas Buyers’ Club for which he even won an Academy Award. He is also the frontman of the band, Thirty Seconds to Mars. His Hollywood doppelgänger is, by no means, inferior, as well. Despite being almost a decade younger than Jared, Jake Gyllenhaal also has quite an impressive resume with movies like Southpaw, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, and Zodiac to his credit. He even had an Oscar nomination for his performance in Nightcrawler. Indeed, Jared and Jake are very much alike in more than just looks.
Bob Saget and Stephen Colbert
Comedian Bob Saget and renowned TV host Stephen Colbert are both stalwarts in the world of comedy. Everyone knows Bob for starring in Full House as Danny Tanner and later reprising the role in Fuller House. He is even better known for his very NSFW stand-up comedy routines. Stephen, on the other hand, is even more well known as the host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which is one of the highest-rated shows of its kind today. However, their similarities do not just end there. It’s undeniable that they look very much alike, especially when they’re wearing eyeglasses, which they are both rarely seen without.
America Ferrera and Jordin Sparks
For sure, plenty of fans probably couldn’t believe their eyes when the star of Ugly Betty competed in American Idol’s sixth season—and rightly so because it’s definitely the wrong girl. We are, of course, talking about that season’s big winner, Jordin Sparks, who has since gone on to have a successful musical career with chart-topping hits like One Step at a Time, No Air, and more. Meanwhile, the actress who starred in the show Ugly Betty is Honduran-born America Ferrera who also starred in The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants prior to that. Both gorgeous Latinas, it is, indeed, easy enough to mistake one for the other at first glance. But if you still can’t see the difference after a closer look, perhaps it’s time to see an eye doctor.
Scarlett Johansson and Amber Heard
Scarlett Johansson and Amber Heard are 2 Hollywood A-listers who seem to be cut from the same cloth. They’re both almost the same age, with Scarlett just being less than 2 years older than Amber. Right now, they both star in massive superhero franchises with Scarlett owning the role of Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for several years now and Amber joining the DC universe as the leading lady in Aquaman. They’ve both also been married to A-list actors only to divorce them—Scarlett was previously with Ryan Reynolds, while Amber was with Johnny Depp. Indeed, it really is the icing on the cake that they look almost exactly alike.
Elijah Wood and Mischa Barton
We all know Elijah Wood as the ageless star of The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Sin City. It’s interesting to note that he actually had his start in Hollywood in the late 80’s, starring in Back to the Future Part II, and he looks pretty much the same to this day. However, it's not only Elijah Wood who looks like Elijah Wood. Actress Mischa Barton is undoubtedly his female doppelgänger, which is especially notable in her earlier roles in The Sixth Sense and The O.C.. Unfortunately, Mischa went through a rough patch for several years due to substance abuse, which altered her looks significantly. Still, if you look closely enough, it’s hard to deny the resemblance.
Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg
Actors Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg are both A-listers who need little introduction. However, it’s important to note that they’re not actually one and the same person, despite their many similarities. Starting with the obvious, they are both almost the same age and share nearly the same very distinctly male facial features. They also both enjoy massive success in their respective careers with both constantly starring in blockbusters, which, in turn, helps build up their respective net worth into sizeable figures. Most interestingly, they both even starred in the 2006 Martin Scorsese film, The Departed, which makes them both Academy Award winners.
Jon Stewart and Richard Lewis
There’s really no way around it—if comedian Richard Lewis was not a good 16 years older, we’d think that he and Jon Stewart, also a comedian, are twins separated at birth! Of course, these days, the younger Jon is a lot more well known as the long-time host of The Daily Show and occasionally taking on acting jobs on the side. However, Richard Lewis was no doubt there first, starring in long-running comedy series like Anything but Love and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Indeed, if there’s a question of who has the higher net worth between the two, it would be quite hard to answer!
Jon Heder and James Blunt
Singer James Blunt is that guy who sang You’re Beautiful, which is no doubt his most massive hit. His other songs haven’t done too badly, as well, such as Same Mistake, Goodbye My Lover, Carry You Home, and more. However, he is NOT that guy who starred in comedy films like Napoleon Dynamite, Blades of Glory, and others, though one can’t be blamed for making the mistake of thinking so. That actor is Jon Heder, and no doubt, he and James are almost identical. Were they twins given child care by separate parents? If we didn’t know better, we’re inclined to think so!
Zac Efron and Leonard Whiting
Actor Zac Efron's ticket to Hollywood was not only his good looks, but also the talents he possess in singing and dancing. He rose to fame by starring as one of the leads in the High School Musical franchise. Other notable films he starred in were 17 Again, Hairspray, The Lucky One, Baywatch, and The Greatest Showman. Although most of Efron's fans are the younger generation, the older generation cannot help but notice how he looks so much like actor Leonard Whiting. Whiting rose to prominence with 1968's Romeo and Juliet, where he played the role of Romeo. Some fans even thought Whiting is somehow related to Efron because of their striking resemblance.
Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer
From 2013 until last year, Henry Cavill has owned the role of Superman, playing the man of steel in movies like Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League. However, it was reported this year that he has since bowed out of the role. With the character wide open, no doubt actor Matt Bomer would be a great contender as he is the spitting image of Henry and, by extension, Superman. He has quite the resume to go with it, as well, previously starring in his own series for a time, White Collar, as well as movies like Magic Mike and A Normal Heart. However, he’s reportedly just joined the DC Universe as Negative Man, so it looks Superman won’t be getting the Matt Bomer treatment anytime soon.
Amy Adams and Isla Fisher
Amy Adams and Isla Fisher are another pair of redhead actresses whose physical similarities go beyond just their obvious hair color. They are aware of the similarities in their looks, as well, and both have joked about it many times. No doubt, Amy Adams is the more serious actress of the two with 5 Academy Award nominations to her credit, and likely the larger bank account, as well. Isla, on the other hand, is a comedic actress who has starred in lighthearted fare like Confessions of a Shopaholic and Now You See Me. Indeed, it’s great to see that there’s no rivalry between the two at all.
Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green
From the moment that Tom Hardy starred in Black Hawk Down, his career had gone from strength to strength. Since then, he has starred in 3 Christopher Nolan films, including The Dark Knight Rises, as well as starred in Marvel’s first antihero film, Venom. Actor Logan Marshall-Green is also enjoying plenty of screen time in films like Prometheus and Snowden, though he can be easily mistaken for Tom if one doesn’t look closely enough. They’re both even the same age, so they could easily claim to be twins. However, there’s little doubt on who’s the more successful of the two.
Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley
Actresses Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley have only 4 years between them with Natalie being the older one, but she did get a head start in the industry when she starred in Léon: The Professional as a child in 1994. Keira first entered the industry a good 5 years later when the younger girl was cast as one of Natalie’s doppelgänger handmaidens in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Not a surprise at all, considering that the two actresses have an astounding resemblance to each other. To her credit, Keira has since carved out a successful career for herself, as well. She still needs to catch up to her more famous and talented look-alike, though, who is an Academy Award winner.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem
As far doppelgängers in Hollywood go, no resemblance is as uncanny and as pronounced as that of actors Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Despite Javier being Spanish and Jeffrey Dean being American, their features are almost identical, even down to their facial hair. Javier, of course, is predominantly seen in movies and even has an Academy Award to his credit for his performance in No Country for Old Men. Jeffrey, on the other hand, is more inclined towards to television, starring in Grey’s Anatomy, Supernatural, and most currently, The Walking Dead.
Jeremy Irons and Daniel Day-Lewis
No doubt veteran actors Jeremy Irons and Daniel Day-Lewis have plenty of things in common. They are both British actors, for one. For another, they are both incredibly talented actors and Academy Award winners with Daniel taking home 3 Best Actor statues for Lincoln, There Will Be Blood, and My Left Foot, while Jeremy has one for Reversal of Fortune. These days, as both are advancing in age and getting closer to needing senior care, they are even starting to look almost exactly alike with their graying beards and chiseled features.
Drea de Matteo and Portia de Rossi
It’s easy enough to mistake actress Drea de Matteo for Portia de Rossi and vice versa. After all, they are almost identical in features and even almost always wear their hair the same way. They are also almost the same age with Drea just being a year older. One easy way to distinguish the two, however, is their romantic partner preferences. Portia is, of course, married to Ellen DeGeneres, who is one of the most bankable comedians and TV hosts today. Drea, on the other hand, is engaged to Michael Devin, a musician. Portia also has the higher net worth of the two because of this.
Amanda Peet and Lake Bell
Amanda Peet has been a ubiquitous face in romantic comedies since she started acting in 1995, starring in movies like The Whole Nine Yards, Saving Silverman, and Something's Gotta Give, to name just a few. These days, she’s gone back to her TV roots, starring in the series The Romanoffs. It’s easy enough to mistake the brunette actress with the younger Lake Bell, who can be predominantly seen on TV in series like Boston Legal, How to Make it in America, and Children's Hospital. It’s no wonder, as they both share the same eye and hair color.
Dane Cook and Skylar Astin
For a time, Dane cook was one of the most familiar faces in comedy. From the 90’s to the early 2000’s, he starred in romantic comedies like My Best Friend's Girl, Good Luck Chuck, Dan in Real Life, and more. He also has a handful of best selling comedy albums to his credit. Though he’s still actively taking on acting jobs, Dane is noticeably a lot less bankable these days. That distinction has since been transferred to his younger doppelganger, Skylar Astin, who we know from his role in the Pitch Perfect movie series, as well as 21 & Over, Cavemen, and more. Indeed, it seems like there’s always a market in Hollywood for a comedic actor of Dane and Skylar’s look.
Peter Jackson and Jason Segel
Peter Jackson became a household name when he created the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Back then, it wouldn’t have been apparent that he was the spitting image of actor and comedian Jason Segel, who starred as Marshall in How I Met Your Mother, as well as in movies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I Love You, Man. However, Peter has since undergone massive weight loss, which definitely highlighted the pair’s common features. Their similarities are even more pronounced when they each sport a full beard. It truly is interesting how one only needs to lose weight for one’s best features to shine through.
Emily Kinney and Evanna Lynch
Harry Potter fans would unlikely forget the scene-stealing actress who played the role of fan favorite Luna Lovegood. After the famous movie series, she went on to star in My Name is Emily, and is set to compete in the 27th season of Dancing with the Stars this year. Across the pond, it seems that another girl may have taken 'polyjuice potion' to mimic Evanna, but really, it’s just her doppelganger Emily Kinney, who many would recognize for her role in The Walking Dead. She also appeared in shows like Arrow, The Flash, and Conviction. She even has a budding musical career to her credit.
Chord Overstreet and Austin Butler
If actor Austin Butler seems familiar, that’s because you probably know him from his roles in The Carrie Diaries, Ruby & The Rockits, and Switched at Birth. But no, he wasn’t switched at birth with actor and singer Chord Overstreet who starred in Glee for a time. Indeed, it’s easy enough to make the mistake of thinking that they’re one and the same person, however, as they really look almost identical with their blonde hair color and blue eyes. They even wear their hair the same way, as well as sing and play guitar.
Alicia Silverstone and Kristen Stewart
No doubt Alicia Silverstone was one of the most beloved teen queens of the 90’s, thanks to her role as the quirky Cher Horowitz in the cult teen classic, Clueless. Before that, she also starred in The Crush, as well as a slew of Aerosmith music videos. With a multi-million dollar payroll with Columbia Pictures at that time, she was, indeed, one of the most successful actresses of that decade. Years later, the same can be said of her doppelganger, Kristen Stewart who, after starring in the massively popular Twilight series of movies, established her as one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. Both ladies are real proof that Hollywood really does gravitate towards certain looks.
Rachel Bilson and Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez is a real-life Disney princess—that is to say, a princess of the Disney channel. She was the star of the channel’s popular Wizards of Waverly Place show, and later went on to become one of the network’s biggest talents yet in both music and acting. However, before Selena was even in the limelight, Rachel Bilson was already making waves with almost the same baby-faced looks as the star of The O.C., a hit series in the early 2000’s. These days, however, no doubt Selena is the more popular of the two, thanks to much-publicized previous relationship with Justin Bieber and recovery from lupus.
Chandra Wilson and Alex Newell
Chandra Wilson is easily recognizable for her role as Dr. Miranda Bailey in Grey’s Anatomy—a role that has earned her 4 Emmy nominations. Before that, she has appeared in shows like The Cosby Show, The Sopranos, and Law & Order. Although younger than Chandra by 23 years, Alex Newell also had pretty much the same start in the industry, first acting in the massively popular musical show, Glee, in which he plays a character named Unique. Of course, it’s undeniable that he’s channeling Chandra while portraying the character. Perhaps if the older actress wasn’t so busy working with substance abuse charities, they might even have a chance to work together on TV at some point.
Ellen Barkin and Cameron Diaz
Ellen Barkin first became a star when she got the lead role in the 80’s film, Diner. From there, roles in movies like The Big Easy, Sea of Love, Switch, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and countless more simply followed suit. But no, she did not star in There’s Something About Mary. That’s actually actress Cameron Diaz, who is almost 20 years younger than Ellen. Of course, Cameron is a bona fide star herself with blockbuster movies like Any Given Sunday, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Gangs of New York, to name just a few, to her credit. Indeed, it’s easy enough to see what Cameron will look like in the future, and what a bright future it is, indeed.
Brad Pitt and Benicio Del Toro
For more than 2 decades now, Brad Pitt has held the title of most desirable man alive, starting as far back as his debut performance in Thelma & Louise in 1991. Besides just being a beautiful face, however, Brad is actually super talented with chameleon-like performances in movies like Interview with the Vampire, Fight Club, Snatch, and countless others. It’s no wonder, therefore, that he has the best savings account in the industry right now. Indeed, there must be a lot of pressure when you look like Brad, though actor Benicio Del Toro is definitely taking it in stride. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he’s a very talented actor himself!
Jai Courtney and Phillip Phillips
Phillip Phillips is the big winner of American Idol’s season 11. Since then, he’s steadily built up his net worth with a slew of successful hits and albums, including The World from the Side of the Moon, Behind the Light, and the upcoming Collateral. Despite appearing in one episode of Hawaii Five-0, he is not at all a full time actor, so if you think you’re seeing him a lot on screen in movies like Jack Reacher and A Good Day to Die Hard, it’s probably Jai Courtney you are seeing. Despite looking like they received the same child care, they were actually born with 4 years between them, as well as thousands of miles. Jai was born in Australia, while Phillip is all American.
Zachary Quinto and Eli Roth
Zachary Quinto is one actor who constantly stuns audiences with his stunning performances, from his breakout role as the villainous Sylar in Heroes to his most famous character of Spock in the current Star Trek reboot. Despite his undeniable talent as a performer, he is yet to go the comedic route, preferring to stick to serious roles that really showcase his acting prowess. However, it’s not at all hard to imagine him as a comedian as he is the spitting image of actor, producer, and director Eli Roth, who is not above playing hilarious roles with movies like Inglorious Basterds, Baywatch, and Cabin Fever to his credit. Indeed, both actors are great specimens at just how well distinctive eyebrows can make an impression.
Dana Delany and Mimi Rogers
Here are 2 ladies who may very well be sister. In fact, born just 2 months’ shy of each other, they could even be twins separated at birth, except that they’re not. However, one can’t be blamed for making that assumption, especially at first glance, as actresses Mimi Rogers and Dana Delany are clearly cut from the same cloth. Everyone knows Mimi for her roles in The Rapture, Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, and Someone to Watch Over Me, as well as for being the first woman to divorce actor Tom Cruise. Dana is just as well known as the Emmy Award-winning star of the series China Beach, as well as roles in Light Sleeper and Wide Awake. Both now 62 years old, we can’t help but wonder if they will still look alike if they both got cosmetic surgery.
Will Arnett and Patrick Wilson
Actors Will Arnett and Patrick Wilson resemble each other so much that it’s almost hard to distinguish between the two—so much so, in fact, that even the amount of hair loss they are each sporting are almost identical. However, an easy enough way to do so is by looking at their choices of acting jobs. Patrick is no doubt the more serious actor of the two. He started out acting in Broadway musicals and later transitioned to movies, particularly scary ones like The Conjuring, Insidious, and their sequels. Will, on the other hand, is a comedian through and through with credited roles in 30 Rock, Arrested Development, and many more.
Josh Holloway and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau
These days, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is one of the most popular actors on TV, thanks to his role as Jaime Lannister in HBO’s massively popular series, Game of Thrones. He is known for his handsome blonde looks. However, this is a look that was already popularized over a decade before by actor Josh Holloway who played Sawyer in the popular series of that time, Lost. Apart from their hair color, their distinct Scandinavian features are truly similar. In both instances, it’s a look that gets the ladies swooning.
Jaime Pressly and Margot Robbie
Margot Robbie is undoubtedly one of the most bankable actresses today. Her breakout role in The Wolf of Wall Street made her a star and she has since received top billing in films like Focus, I, Tonya, and Suicide Squad. Apart from her remarkable talent in acting, she is known for her beautiful blonde hair and gorgeous features, which she shares with the equally beautiful Jaime Pressly. Jaime may be a good 13 years older than Margot, but back in her day, she also enjoyed moderate success in movies like Not Another Teen Movie and Joe Dirt. Still, if it wasn’t for the age difference, many would be convinced that they’re twins.
Jordana Brewster and Demi Moore
There’s no doubt that actress Demi Moore is one of the most beautiful actresses of all time. Although she was especially gorgeous at the height of her fame in the 80’s and 90’s, starring in movies like St. Elmo’s Fire, Ghost, Indecent Proposal, and more, she remains incredibly attractive to this day. However, she is now 55 years old and requires a bit of plastic surgery to retain the looks she’s been best known for. If one needs a reminder, though, of how Demi used to look like with the flush of youth, one just needs to look at actress Jordana Brewster, who starred in The Fast and the Furious movies, as well as the TV series, Lethal Weapon. It’s great to see that their brand of beauty lives on.
Emmanuelle Chriqui and JWoww
JWoww, real name Jennifer Lynn Farley, is best known for being one of the stars of MTV’s Jersey Shore. Following the end of the reality show, she then starred in its spinoff, Snooki & Jwoww. Despite her success on TV, she hasn’t actually gone into mainstream acting, so no, she wasn’t that girl who starred opposite Adam Sandler in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan. Instead, that is actress Emmanuelle Chriqui, who also starred in Entourage and is set to star in 2019’s The Passage. It truly is interesting that these 2 look very much alike as they are of different descent—JWoww is Spanish and Irish, while Emmanuelle can claim Jewish ancestry.
Jada Pinkett-Smith and Zoe Saldana
These days, actress Zoe Saldana is on top of the world. She is enjoying a massive payroll and even larger success for playing Gomora in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series of movies. Not only that, she’s also set to reprise her role in the upcoming sequel to Avatar. Zoe, however, is a relative newcomer compared to actress Jada Pinkett-Smith who was a massive star in the 90’s and 2000’s with 2 films of The Matrix franchise to her credit and many others. Despite these differences, it’s undeniable that they look very much alike, which must contribute to their respective bankability.
Mila Kunis and Sarah Hyland
Mila Kunis has been enjoying considerable success in films in recent years, starring in critically-acclaimed movies like Black Swan and The Book of Eli, as well as light-hearted comedy like Bad Moms and Ted. Well before that, however, she got her start as a young actress in That ‘70s Show in the late 90’s. It seems that her young doppelganger is also following in the same path. Currently, young Sarah Hyland stars in the hit sitcom, Modern Family. Perhaps we’ll be seeing her in more and more movies soon enough. One thing’s for sure—they’re the spitting image of each other, despite having 8 years between them.
Fabio and Jon Hamm
Thanks to his performance as the iconic Don Draper in the popular series Mad Men, Jon Hamm has truly become a household name. It helps his popularity substantially that he has considerable assets, which photographers are often quick to capture. It goes without saying that he is one of the most desirable men in Hollywood today. It is, therefore, a real shock to realize that he looks almost identical to another actor of lesser acclaim, Fabio. Real name Fabio Lanzoni, he is best known for being on the cover of romance novels which book houses were widely publishing in the 80’s and 90’s.
Carmen Electra and Lauren Conrad
Lauren Conrad became a star in the early 2000’s as one of the cast members of the popular reality show, The Hills. Before that, she was also part of another equally popular reality show, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County. Lauren definitely stood out for her all-American blonde beauty and amazing figure, which is why she’s built up a massive fan base over the years. However, she is definitely not the first star to look this amazing as barely just a decade ago, model and actress Carmen Electra enjoyed the same perks with pretty much the same facial features. Carmen debuted as part of the cast of Baywatch and continued to have a successful acting career for the next decade or so with roles in movies like Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Disaster Movie, and many more to her credit. It’s truly interesting to note how fans naturally seems to gravitate to towards stars with the same gorgeous facial features.
Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly
Leighton Meester is best known for her role as Blair Waldorf in the hit series, Gossip Girl. She also has several movies to her credit, as well, including Monte Carlo, Killer Movie, and The Roommate. It’s interesting to note that in The Roommate, she played a girl who attempted to murder another girl, played by actress Minka Kelly, who could very well be her sister in real life. Indeed, the resemblance is that uncanny, which probably influenced quite significantly the how the movie was cast in the first place.
Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry
Actress Zooey Deschanel is truly a Hollywood sweetheart. After all, who can resist those wide doe-eyes and her incredibly angelic face? She is truly an enjoyable thing to watch in her movies like Yes Man and 500 Days of Summer, as well as her hit sitcom, The New Girl. However, her looks, though distinctive, are not entirely unique. In fact, it’s undeniable that pop superstar Katy Perry looks very much like her. This is despite the fact that Katy is known to be very fond of drastic makeovers, changing her hair color so frequently that it’s hard to keep up. Not that we mind as the world can never have too many beautiful, wide-eyed pixies.
Victoria Justice and Nina Dobrev
We all know Nina Dobrev for playing the dual role of Katherine and Elena in The Vampire Diaries. Indeed, it could’ve saved Nina the trouble of learning 2 sets of lines if they had just cast Victoria Justice for one of the roles. After all, the 2 actresses look so much alike that audiences will hardly be the wiser. But of course, Victoria herself has no dearth of acting jobs sent her way. She starred in television series like Zoey 101 and Victorious, as well as in movies like Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List and The First Time.
Tiffani Thiessen and Alexandra Daddario
Tiffani Thiessen was one of the big teen stars of the early 90’s. She starred in the hugely popular teen drama Beverly Hills, 90210. Later, she would star on TV’s White Collar and Fastlane, as well as in movies like From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money and Cyborg Soldier. She is most recognizable for her dark brown hair color, button nose, and wide, luminous eyes, which are features she shares with actress Alexandra Daddario, one of today’s most bankable actresses. Alexandra starred in the Percy Jackson movies and in the Baywatch remake, and even interestingly appeared in White Collar, too.
Julie Bowen and Elizabeth Banks
Elizabeth Banks needs little introduction as an actress, starring in The Hunger Games and Pitch Perfect series of movies. She’s also quite accomplished as a writer, director, and producer. Often sporting a blonde hair color, Elizabeth is often mistaken for another comedic actress with blonde hair, Julie Bowen who stars in the very popular sitcom, Modern Family, as Claire Pritchett. Julie, however, is a good 4 years older, so any theories that they may have been separated at birth will sadly have to be ignored.
Will Ferrell and Chad Smith
We all know Will Ferrell as one of the most successful comedic actors in recent years. From his stint as an up and coming comedian on Saturday Night Live, he has since gone on to earn top billing in high-grossing comedy movies like Step Brothers, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Elf, Talladega Nights, and so many others. Indeed, Will is a truly stand-up guy and talented performer, but we can honestly say that he’s completely unique, especially in the looks department. This is because he looks almost exactly the same as Chad Smith, drummer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Chad is a good 6 years older, though, so there goes the theory that they’re twins separated at birth.
Zach Braff and Dax Shepard
Zach Braff is best known for starring as J.D. in the popular sitcom, Scrubs, for which he received an Emmy nomination. He is also a very accomplished director, producer, and writer, as well, and it is this work behind the camera that he’s been mostly focused on lately. Despite his many accomplishments, he keeps getting mistaken for another actor, who also happens to be his friend, Dax Shepard. The 2 look so much alike, in fact, that when they used the ‘face swap’ app, there was absolutely no difference from the originals.
Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski
Actress Helen Hunt has an Academy Award for her performance in As Good as it Gets, as well as a good number of verifiable hits to her name, including Cast Away, Twister, Pay it Forward, and more. It seems that she may have been separated at birth from actress Leelee Sobieski—except, of course, for the fact that Leelee is a good 20 years younger. Leelee, of her part, starred in several movies in the 90’s, including Joan of Arc and Deep Impact, but has since gone on retirement from show business. Helen is now 55 years old, but it’s easy enough to imagine her having plastic surgery after just taking one look at Leelee.
