These Celebrity Lookalikes Will Have You Seeing Double

by

Some celebrities do their best acting when there are no cameras in sight. 

During one of Elizabeth Banks’ visits to Toronto, a man approached her and exclaimed, “Wow, my girlfriend adores you! If I don’t get your autograph for her, she might just faint! This is such an amazing moment!” The actress shared this encounter with comedian Chelsea Handler on her talk show, ‘Chelsea Lately’, back in 2011.

However, as he went on to extol her books, such as “My Horizontal Life” from 2005, Banks commented, “‘It seemed like he thought he was meeting Chelsea Handler.’ I didn’t want to shatter his illusion!

Dare we say it was a pitch-perfect response?

If you happen to make a similar mistake, such as mistaking Carrie Underwood for Reese Witherspoon while they were both enjoying a meal at a barbecue restaurant, it’s likely that the famous look-alike in question would also be confused.

It’s often been noted by even Bryce Dallas Howard’s own father, director Ron Howard, that there is a striking resemblance between Bryce and her costar Jessica Chastain, particularly in their roles together in the 2011 movie “The Help.

Although Chastain recognizes that she is compassionate, intelligent, and significant, she remains unfazed when fans mistake her for the actress from “Jurassic World Dominion.

In a 2015 interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she shared that when she initially began her career off-off-off Broadway, some young people recognized her on the subway and asked if she was an actress.

During the conversation about her role in the 2004 thriller, “The Village“, Chastain reflected, “I found myself wondering if I should correct them and clarify it’s not me, or if I should just play along and act as if I were Bryce. So, of course, I chose to pretend I was Bryce.

Certainly, she isn’t the only celebrity who occasionally dabbles in imitating others. From stars like Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel, all the way to Amy Adams and Isla Fisher, we dare you not to do a double-take at some of these famous doppelgängers!

The actress from “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” bears an striking resemblance to the star of “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,” particularly since her portrayal of a younger Sabrina on the Netflix series, suggesting she hasn’t aged or changed significantly.

Jamie Jirak shared a collection of characters he had portrayed as a child, featuring a young Sabrina (played by Kiernan Shipka), on Twitter in 2020, accompanied by the caption, “This thought often crosses my mind.

Grace quote-retweeted with a crying-laughing emoji, “Same.”

During a Sirius XM interview in November 2023, Leto was questioned about being likened to a Kardashian celebrity. His response was, “Wow, consider me fortunate,” with a brief pause before adding, “I appreciate it.

As a lifestyle aficionado, I can’t help but appreciate the potential implication here. If we were family, I’d certainly have a well-off kinsman on my hands, given his vast wealth. Now, wouldn’t that be splendid?

The co-stars in the movie “Nocturnal Animals” are cognizant of the likeness being drawn between them. Back in 2016, Fisher shared on the NBC program “Today” that she had replaced Adams’ image with her own for their family’s holiday greeting card.

It was no coincidence the actresses were both cast in Barbie. 

For quite some time, people have been remarking that I resemble the character from Sex Education, specifically Emma Mackey. This was the reason for her casting in the film, as director Greta Gerwig and I found it amusing. We had planned to incorporate a funny bit about our resemblance into the movie.

After getting dolled up as our Barbie twins, it struck us that we might not be as identical as expected, given my golden locks compared to her brown. Surprisingly, the funny comparison didn’t make it into the film. However, when fans gush about me in ‘Sex Education’, I can’t help but express heartfelt gratitude, saying, ‘Thank you. Thank you so much!’

In an interview with Us Weekly in 2022, the actress from “My Name Is Earl” admitted that she is frequently mistaken for Margot Robbie. This occurrence happens quite often.

The Help co-stars look so alike that director Ron Howard mistook Chastain for his own daughter.

At an Apple Store, Chastain casually mentioned, “As I passed by, I thought to myself, ‘That looks like Ron Howard.'” Her friend then chimed in, turning to someone else and stating, “I believe I’ve just spotted Bryce,” as we share a striking resemblance.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Bryce verified that the story was authentic, expressing that his father was genuinely surprised by it.

Initially, he commented, ‘You two look remarkably similar,'” she shared, adding that she found the observation quite flattering and delightful.

“At first, he pointed out, ‘You two share a strong resemblance,'” she noted, expressing her appreciation and enjoyment of the compliment.

Neither celeb was upset when a social media user thought Witherspoon was Underwood.

In a tweet, the actress replied to the woman in the parking lot, saying, “You’ve truly brightened up my day by asking if I was Carrie Underwood.

The Grammy winner quickly responded, “YOUR day?!?!?!?! That lady just made my whole life!”

On the Tonight Show in March 2019, Ruffalo remarked, “He’s far more handsome than I am. frankly, I sometimes wish I could look like him; honestly, I do.

Harry Potter and Frodo are well aware fans confuse them.

Despite sharing similar physical traits such as short stature, pale complexion, blue eyes, and brown hair, Radcliffe noted during a joint interview with Empire magazine that he and another individual do not resemble each other in appearance. However, he emphasized that their overall image or concept is identical.

In fact, while in Japan, Radcliffe was even asked to autograph a photo of Wood.

To handle this swiftly, he chose to simply compose, ‘I am not Elijah Wood, Daniel Radcliffe,’ and then wait for someone else to translate it later,” he clarified.

The former Dancing With the Stars pro looks like Wonder Woman herself.

In a fascinating twist, the actresses from the shows “Gossip Girl” and “Friday Night Lights” bear such a striking resemblance to each other that they were chosen as the main characters in the 2011 horror movie “The Roommate,” which shares similarities with the thriller “Single White Female.

The bearded stars look they may have been separated at birth.

I’m absolutely thrilled about this! It’s almost uncanny how these actresses resemble each other, it’s like I’m watching two different characters from “Orange Is the New Black” sharing the same screen. If given the chance, Valletta would’ve made a perfect stand-in on that show!

On an episode of “Watch What Happens Live”, host Andy Cohen noted a striking similarity between the “Downton Abbey” actor and one of the members from the boy band “One Direction”.

The Twilight star and Hunger Games alum share dark locks and glowing skin.

The Saturday Night Live alum and Oscar-winner could be confused as cousins, at the least.

These two get mistaken for each other all the time. Just ask them.

At a gathering at the White House Correspondents’ dinner, the comedian mentioned that during an appearance on Chelsea Lately, they had an exchange with Bill O’Reilly. They recalled saying, “I believe you’ve mistaken me for Elizabeth Banks,” as a polite way to escape his company.

There seems to be an uncanny resemblance between the actor from “Breaking Bad” and Harry Potter’s actor, whether it’s due to fate or mere coincidence.

We’d believe it if the singer and Gossip Girl star revealed they were long-lost relatives.

These actors certainly both have a similar sense of style.

The actress from “New Girl” has often been confused with a well-known singer, and on one occasion, she played along with this likeness. In her music video titled “Not the End of the World,” Deschanel unintentionally finds herself kidnapped by aliens who believed she was a judge from “American Idol.

Hey there! Let me share a personal anecdote that I encounter daily – people often mistake me for the captivating actress from ‘The Vampire Diaries.’ It’s as if we share striking similarities, and it’s not just my love for a good vampire drama. This confuses me regularly.
