Prepare to be amazed as we delve into the intriguing world of celebrity doppelgangers! It’s not uncommon for everyday folks to have a famous lookalike, but what happens when the stars themselves resemble other A-listers? The resemblance can be so uncanny that it leaves us scratching our heads in disbelief. Get ready to do a double take as we unveil the most mind-blowing celebrity twinsies that’ll have you questioning if they were separated at birth!
Isla Fisher and Amy Adams
These stunning red-haired actresses have been confused with each other for many years and have even had awkward encounters with other celebrities for that exact reason. Fangirling over Lady Gaga, Fisher once approached her to say hello and stood silent while the pop star congratulated her on her performance in American Hustle (thinking she was Adams).
When asked what happened, Fisher told an interviewer, “I’m thinking, ‘Oh my gosh. It’s Lady Gaga. I love her so much. I don’t want to tell her the truth,’” Fisher recalled. “I just gracefully thanked her and bowed my head.”
Scarlett Johansson and Amber Heard
Both Scarlett Johansson and Amber Heard have captivated audiences with their stunning looks and acting skills. Johansson has become a household name, thanks to her portrayal of Black Widow in Marvel’s Avengers series, while Heard has made a splash as Mera in the Aquaman franchise.
These two talented actresses share a striking resemblance, with their fair skin, luscious blonde locks, and piercing blue eyes, leaving fans in awe of their similar beauty.
Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lawrence
Victoria’s Secrets model Bella Hadid could easily be mistaken for actress Jennifer Lawrence. With similar facial features, the only thing that tells the pair apart is the color of their eyes. During an interview, Hadid was asked about the comparison and said, “I never saw it, but there are some photos that it’s really weird, and we look very similar.
People say it all the time. I’ll walk onto the set, and five people will say, ‘You know who you look like?’ and I’m like, ‘Jennifer Lawrence?’ then they’ll say, ‘How’d you know I was going to say that?’ and I’ll go, ‘Because I hear it five times a day.”
Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly
Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly are prime examples of doppelgangers defying age. With a thirteen-year age difference, these actresses bear an uncanny resemblance, especially when in character.
Pressly gained fame through her role in the comedy series My Name Is Earl, while Robbie catapulted to stardom with her sultry performance in The Wolf of Wall Street. Their strikingly similar features, including their blonde hair, blue eyes, and facial structure, leave fans doing double takes.
Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly
Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly’s striking resemblance landed them roles in the thriller film The Roommate. Born in the ’80s and sharing the same height, these brunette actresses also share a close friendship.
They first met in a Clearasil commercial in 2003, and their uncanny resemblance has only strengthened their bond in the years since.
Will Ferrell and Chad Smith
Funnyman Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith are celebrity doppelgangers with a great sense of humor. After fans noticed their striking similarities, the duo decided to capitalize on the resemblance by organizing a drum battle to raise money for charity.
This light-hearted approach to their likeness further cements their status as one of the most entertaining doppelganger pairs in Hollywood.
Dax Shepard and Zach Braff
We all fell in love with Braff on Scrubs, and he has previously welcomed the comparison to comedian and actor Dax Shepard, with both playing around and having fun with it.
The two went back and forth on Twitter with ongoing jokes, with Shepard tweeting, “@zachbraff its been 2 hours since someone has pointed out that we look alike. I think Twitter might be broken!”
Rupert Grint and Ed Sheeran
Harry Potter’s Ron Weasley has long been compared to singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. Actor Rupert Grint admitted during an interview that at least half the people who stop him for a picture actually think he is Sheeran. Cleverly playing on the likelihood, Grint appeared in Sheeran’s Lego House music video as an obsessed fan.
Both have fiery hair, are only a few years apart in age, and are both British.
Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds
These two actors certainly have more in common than just their first names. Coming up at around 6 feet tall, both are Canadian with actress wives and a couple of children each.
These two have been confused for the other for some time now, but neither seems to mind – and why would they? They are practically the same person.
Logan Marshall-Green and Tom Hardy
British Tom Hardy is well known for many roles and, in particular, his recent part in The Revenant and Batman, whereas his look-a-like, Logan Marshall-Green isn’t too well known. We can’t believe how similar the two look with their rugged beards and features.
Both were born in the early ’70s but on completely opposite sides of the Atlantic. Now this one is spooky. Obviously a fan of Hardy, Marshall-Green said, “I’d be honored to be in the same sentence as Tom Hardy.”
Charlie Hunnam and Heath Ledger
From 2008 to 2014 there weren’t many people who were not watching Sons of Anarchy, with a keen fan favorite being that of Jax Teller, played by Charlie Hunnam.
The British actor burst onto our screens shortly after actor Heath Ledger passed away, and many people jumped straight to pointing out how much the two look like each other, and we have to agree.
Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan
The similarities between actors Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan are astounding, and it’s hard to believe they aren’t related. Born a few years apart in different countries, their resemblance is uncanny, leaving fans and the media wondering if they were separated at birth.
Their matching rugged good looks and intense gazes make them one of the most striking doppelganger pairs in Hollywood.
Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry
With most celebs taking their lookalike comparisons rather lightly, New Girl actress Zooey Deschanel isn’t one of them.
During an interview, she was asked if she agreed with the opinion, and it seems she isn’t too into it as she said, “It’s a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt.” We think the women are equally as stunning and look very much like the others.
Parker Posey and Elizabeth Banks
Rather than being the spitting image of the other, we have to say these two could absolutely be relatives. Both ladies have found their careers in acting but in different fields, with Banks appearing in the blockbuster movie, The Hunger Games, and Posey more in her indie movies and television roles.
Speaking out, Posey did come out and say she would love to appear in a bigger movie.
Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg
Both actors have regularly been put against each other in regard to their acting skills and how much people think they look like each other. We can’t see a huge comparison, but we can definitely see a little something.
Wahlberg said, “I’ve talked to Mark about this because he gets people [who] come up and say, ‘I loved you in The Bourne Identity!’ So, Mark and I have a deal. If we’re mistaken for one another, we have to be as polite as possible.”
Kate Beckinsale and Rhona Mitra
Kate Beckinsale raised her profile when she took on the role of Selene in the Underworld movie series between 2003 and 2016.
Uncoincidental, the other female lead that was cast was another British actress, Rhona Mitra – who happens to be her doppelganger. The actresses could be identical twins with matching eyes, hair, and skin tone.
Selena Gomez and Lucy Hale
Selena Gomez and Lucy Hale’s striking resemblance has led to some amusing mix-ups. Both actresses appeared in the popular TV show Wizards of Waverly Place, where the cast and crew frequently confused the two.
One notable incident involved a Justin Bieber fan mistaking Hale for Gomez and stealing her phone in an attempt to call the pop star. The two actresses share similar facial features, dark hair, and petite frames, making them one of the most unforgettable celebrity doppelganger pairs.
Vanessa Hudgens and Mila Kunis
Thanks to successful television shows, both actresses had a great start to their careers. Mila Kunis took on the role of Jackie Burkhart in The ‘70s Show, and Vanessa Hudgens was Disney Channel’s main girl and gained fans worldwide when she played Gabrielle Montez in the movie High School Musical.
Kunis went out to act in the comedy hit Ted and the thriller Black Swan.
Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera
Two actors that constantly have to bat off fans when they are mistaken for the other are Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera. During an interview, Eisenberg said, “I bumped into Jesse on the street once, and he told me he gets it once a day; people think he’s Michael Cera.”
Finding fame in Arrested Development, Cera had a great time on set while Eisenberg portrayed Mark Zuckerburg in The Social Network.
Ralph Fiennes and Liam Neeson
Another pair of non-biological twins, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes are actually best friends in real life.
The Irish actor appeared on the UK chat show, The Jonathan Ross Show, and said how confused fans are when he says replies to them in a non-British accent and said, “So I’ve been complimented on winning a Tony Award for my Hamlet, he’s been complimented on the Taken movies.”
Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster
Both Helen Hunt and Jodie Foster scooped one of the biggest awards possible in the acting industry when they were both awarded an Oscar, but despite them both being well-known for their achievement, people continue to confuse the two.
Jodie Foster spoke to Daily Mail Australia and said about the topic, “I’ve been mistaken for Helen Hunt so many times, and she for me. We talk about it a lot every time we see each other.”
Idina Menzel and Lea Michele
It is not surprising that these actresses were chosen to work alongside each other in the hit TV series, Glee. Idina Menzel played Lea Michele’s mum, with them both often singing alongside each other. Both can sing and dance, grew up in New York, and starred on Broadway.
As well as acting, both ladies have gone on to reach the Billboard charts with their musical albums.
Brittany Snow and Reese Witherspoon
Elle Woods became an icon as the lawyer who made it beyond everyone’s expectations in the movie Legally Blonde, where the character was played by Reese Witherspoon. She has a stack of awards next to her name, including an Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and more.
Her doppelganger is Pitch Perfect star Brittany Snow who also founded Love is Louder, an anti-bullying charity.
Carey Mulligan and Michelle Williams
Without most people realizing it, actress and singer Carey Mulligan is actually British, and we loved her as the female lead in the blockbuster movie, The Great Gatsby.
She bares similarities to American actress Michelle Williams, especially with their cute blonde pixie crop hairstyle. They both also tend to show up to red carpet events in similar style clothes.
Paz Vega and Penelope Cruz
Two faces of the L’Oreal Spain campaign, Paz Vega and Penelope Cruz, are just as stunning as the other. Both were born in the 1970s, and they both began a career in acting.
Cruz went on to have a rather successful time appearing in Vanilla Sky and Blow, as well as winning an Academy Award. Vega has worked on a few films, and we will see more of her in the 2019 movie Rambo V: Last Blood.
