38 Celebs Who Look So Much Alike, They Are Practically Mirror Images Of Each Other

Celebrities often get recognized when they’re out in public. However, some of them are often confused with other renowned entertainment figures due to their striking resemblance to each other.

We’ve collected a few photos of actors, musicians, and other A-listers and placed them side by side. This should give you readers a clearer idea of how uncanny these similarities are.

You may see the usual faces that have often been compared, but you may also encounter new ones that may make you say, “Huh, I never saw it until now!” Either way, hopefully, you enjoy scrolling through.

#1 Stanley Tucci And Mark Strong

#2 Jaime Pressly And Margot Robbie

#3 Chad Smith And Will Ferrell

Some of the celebrity doppelgangers on this list have actually met in real life and candidly discussed their much-noticed resemblance. Pop star Katy Perry even admitted to actress Zooey Deschanel that she once used their similarities to her advantage when she was starting her music career in Los Angeles.

“I wanted to get into the club, but I had no money, I had no clout, I had nothing, and sometimes I would pose as you to get into the club,” Perry told Deschanel in a 2020 Instagram live session.

#5 Keira Knightley And Natalie Portman

#6 Matt Bomer And Henry Cavill

Hollywood veteran Jamie Pressley was also flattered by the comparisons to Australian actress Margot Robbie, who has made a name for herself in films such as Barbie and Suicide Squad. As she tells Entertainment Tonight, she felt good despite feeling old because of the 13-year age gap.

“I was like, ‘It’s a pleasure to be the doppelganger, because, quite frankly, if I look like you, that’s fine with me,’” Pressley said.

The innate fascination with lookalikes is apparently part of who we are as humans. According to forensic clinical psychologist Dr. Naomi Murphy, we tend to use physical appearances as a means of establishing a sense of belonging.

“Not looking the same runs the risk of being forgotten, not receiving resources, or being treated as ‘other,’” Dr. Murphy said in an interview with Refinery29.

#11 Bella Hadid And Carla Bruni

#12 Elizabeth Banks And Julie Bowen

It’s highly unlikely that the celebrity lookalikes on this list are related. However, they may be sharing the same DNA. According to a 2022 study published in Cell Reports, individuals with similar facial features tend to exhibit genetic similarities.

“These people really look alike because they share important parts of the genome, or the DNA sequence,” one of the study’s authors, Dr. Manel Esteller, explained.
