You have most likely seen enough videos of estranged family members finding their way back to each other after years, if not decades. Here, we have something similar with celebrities instead of normal folks, except they have no biological relationship to one another whatsoever.
Strangely, these celebrities look so similar that you could easily mistake them for the other or even be compelled to believe that they're long lost siblings. These pairs look so much alike that they'll make you want to get your eyes checked. It's as fun to read about as it sounds. So, don't miss the chance to know the 40 celebrity look-alikes we have here!
Jada Pinkett Smith and Zoe Saldana
On a few occasions, Jada Pinkett has mentioned that she's very close to her mother and grandmother. However, we doubt even her beloved family could tell her apart from Zoe Saldana because that's how similar they look. In fact, Saldana looks more like Pinkett than she does her sisters.
Pinkett is obviously older, seven years to be precise. But somehow, the two ended up in the same professions as if they were long lost sisters who were destined to meet someday. Saldana is one of the highest-grossing actresses, having appeared in Star Trek and Avatar films, whereas Pinkett in Girls Trip. She also currently hosts Red Table Talk.
Will Ferrell and Chad Smith
Will Ferrell and Chad Smith look so much alike that when had a drum battle on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, even fans couldn't tell them apart. There's a good chance that you know Ferrell as the comedic actor in the Anchorman films, Daddy's Home, and so on. He even has a bunch of productions coming up.
Smith, however, is in the music industry and has been serving as the drummer of Red Hot Chilli Peppers for over three decades. They are both known as each other's doppelgänger, which may be too much to handle sometimes. In fact, Smith performs wearing shirts that say "I Am Not Will Ferrell."
Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly
One of the highest-paid actresses in the world, Margot Robbie, grew to the likes of us after playing Naomi Lapaglia in The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013. She is also widely popular as Harley Quinn on Suicide Squad. She's also working on various new projects, including The Suicide Squad, Ruin, and Marian.
Robbie's look-alike you see above is Jaime Pressly, who is also an actress. Pressly earned fame on My Name is Earl and has been playing Jill Kendall in Moms since 2014. As per Instyle, the two are aware of each other's existence and were pretty surprised upon first meeting. They could easily be body doubles.
Amy Adams and Isla Fisher
How is it that similar-looking people tend to end up in the same industry? Amy Adams and Isla Fisher are two red-headed actresses who might even be called as long lost sisters by some. Fisher even had some fun with her family by replacing her face with Adams', with no one noticing, she told Today. Shockingly, they are very close in age, with only two years between them.
You may recall Fisher from her early performances in Scooby-Doo and Wedding Crashers and Adams from Drop Dead Gorgeous. While the latter has various upcoming films like Hillbilly Elegy, The Woman in the Window, and Disenchanted, Fisher only has one, Godmothered.
Emily Kinney and Evanna Lynch
Evanna Lynch does look paler than usual in the photo here, but that doesn't change the fact that she and Emily Kinney share very close looks. From their eyes to their nose to their smile, everything is freakishly the same.
The Walking Dead fans know Kinney as the soft-spoken and slender Beth Greene, whereas Lynch came to be known for a role with similar characteristics, Luna Lovegood, on the Harry Potter film series. Lynch is six years younger than her look-alike and is very active in charity than she is in the film industry. However, Kinney will soon appear in The Enormity of Life.
Chord Overstreet and Austin Butler
The dreamy looks of both Chord Overstreet and Austin Butler can put any woman in a trance because they are practically the same person. To clarify, they look like the same person but are not. It looks like they have the same skills because they are both actors and musicians.
Butler is best known for his work on Switched at Birth, which is pretty ironic because that looks exactly like what happened between these two. He will play Elvis Presley's character in the 2021 biographical film Elvis. Overstreet, on the other hand, played Sam Evans in Glee between 2010 and 2015 and also released various singles in the last few years.
Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer
Not every actor has such sharp jawlines and whimsical blue eyes to flaunt, But Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill aren't just any actors, are they? They are each other's clones, and it's a bonus for the ladies. The only thing different would be the latter's British accent.
If Zack Snyder ever wanted a body double for Superman (played by Cavill) in his upcoming films like Zack Snyder's Justice League, he knows where to look. Bomer, who is six years older than Cavill, has a two-decade-long career, with noteworthy credits like White Collar, Magic Mike, and American Horror Story. He will also appear in The Book of Ruth in 2021.
Alicia Silverstone and Kristen Stewart
We're somewhat mad at ourselves for not realizing the resemblance between this duo sooner. Perhaps it's because Alicia Silverstone caught our eyes in the '90s as a teenager on Clueless, whereas Kristen Stewart on The Twilight Saga starting in 2008. One way or the other, here we are.
Unfortunately, Silverstone doesn't look like this anymore as she is in her mid-forties. That's right—she and Stewart have an age gap of 14 years. Despite their age difference, the two are equally active in their careers, with the latter expected to appear in Happiest Season and Spencer, while the other on Sister of the Groom and Masters of the Universe: Revelation.
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard look so similar that Ron Howard (Bryce's father) mistook her for Chastain at an Apple store. If the man who raised you can't tell the difference, then they must have an uncanny resemblance. Also, both of them being natural redheads didn't help either.
Both Chastain and Bryce had roles in The Help but went their different ways afterward. They were born in the same month but four years apart, with Chastain being older. As it appears, Hollywood has a high demand for pretty redheads because Bryce is working on Jurrasic Park: Dominion, while Chastain in many projects, including The 355 and The Forgiven.
Rachel Bilson and Selena Gomez
You can't deny that Rachel Bilson and Selena Gomez share a jaw-dropping similarity. They are both super cute and stunning but have too much of an age gap to be long lost twins. Everything from their hair color to the face shape has been the same when Bilson was close to Gomez's current age.
Today, the Hands to Myself singer is 28 years old while her doppelganger is 39. Bilson was widely known for her role as Summer Roberts in The O.C and even had a lead role in Lovestruck (2019). At the same time, Gomez is thriving in the music industry and even launched a beauty line named Rare Beauty.
Dane Cook and Skylar Astin
Dane Cook is a 48-year-old stand-up comedian with five comedy albums and an actor with heaps of credits to his name. He was widely popular for starring alongside Jessica Alba on Good Luck Chuck in 2007. If you haven't noticed it by now, Cook looks like the 33-year-old Pitch Perfect actor Skylar Astin.
We're not sure if the two are aware of each other's existence and their similarities, but it would sure be a great topic for Cook's comedy specials. We have seen more of Astin on the screens on TV series like Crazy Ex-Girlfriends and Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist in recent years.
Chandra Wilson and Alex Newell
Maybe it's the face-framing highlights, or maybe it's every other feature. Somehow, Chandra Wilson and Alex Newell are pretty much two souls in two bodies that look alike. Many have been curious about Newell's gender. According to Vice, he identifies as a male and sometimes fashions female clothes.
Unlike the previous pairs, Wilson and Newell can't be deemed as long-lost siblings who look alike as they have a significant age gap that could make them a parent-child duo. Wilson, 51, is best known for playing Dr. Miranda Bailey in Grey's Anatomy, while Newell, Unique Adams on Glee and Mo on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.
Chace Crawford and Ian Somerhalder
You should know that there are thousands of Ian Somerhalder wannabes around the world because who'd not want to look like a stud? While Karl Kugelmann might be a lesser know Somerhalder look-alike popular on TikTok, Chace Crawford is the celebrity who shares his looks.
Somerhalder became an internationally-recognized star after The Vampire Diaries became available on Netflix. Crawford is a younger version of him, known for Gossip Girl, The Covenant, and The Boys, among others. He is also scheduled to play Landen in Riptide. Regardless of their similar appearances, neither Crawford nor anyone else would be able to match Somerhalder's, or should we say Damon Salvatore's breathtaking smirk.
Jeremy Irons and Daniel Day-Lewis
Despite Jeremy Irons and Daniel Day-Lewis being born nine years apart, the two have always been the mirror image of each other. They are both English actors who saw the rise of their careers around the '80s. By the age of 60, Day-Lewis retired, but Irons is still active at 72, with his newest works like Love, Weddings & Other Disasters, Munich, and Frankel expecting releases soon.
A three-time Oscar winner, Day-Lewis is regarded as one of the greatest actors of all-time and will always be celebrated for his work in Gangs of New York, Lincoln, Phantom Thread, and so on. Since he's retired, don't ever mistake him for Irons.
Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel
The world-famous singer Katy Perry is also distinguishably known for her unique fashion style, dramatic makeup looks, and frequently changing hairstyles. If you can recall her black hair look with short forehead bangs, then you can imagine how she and the New Girl star, Zooey Deschanel, would've shared the same appearances.
Forget the hair for a minute. They have some mind-blowingly homogenous facial features too. The Roar singer and Deschanel are not too far apart in age, which may be why they could be unofficial long-lost siblings. Since Deschanel has a music career as well, perhaps the two can pair up and hit the road.
Ellen Barkin and Cameron Diaz
None of Cameron Diaz's fans were thrilled about her decision to leave the big screen for good, especially considering she is still in her forties. Nevertheless, it's her choice, and therefore, must be respected. Plus, we still have Ellen Barkin to give out Cameron Diaz's vibes.
Barkin, who is 18 years older than the Charlie's Angels star, has been active as an actress for four decades. She was famous for Diner, Switch, and Animal Kingdom and is set to appear in Breaking News in Yuba County and The Man from Toronto in 2021. We're surprised at how closely Diaz bears a resemblance to Barkin.
Sarah Hyland and Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis has been in show business since she was a child but didn't quite come under the radar until she landed Jackie Burkhart's role in That '70s Show. She has been unstoppable since, having played equally prominent roles in Friends with Benefits, Bad Moms, etc.
Being a foxy woman, Kunis naturally inspired many women to follow her style. However, the 29-year-old actress Sarah Hyland didn't have to try too hard to be like the Bad Moms star as she was gifted with similar features and looked like her younger sister. Hyland is widely known for portraying Haley Dunphy on Modern Family from 2009 until its end in 2020.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem
If it wasn't for the different hairstyles, no one would be able to tell Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem apart. Not their parents, spouses, and certainly not fans. Speaking of their parents, they have some serious explaining to do because these two actors look identical.
Since the two often get mistaken for the other, Morgan once played a prank on the paparazzi by flipping his middle finger when they thought he was Javier. It didn't go as planned. Morgan is mostly recognized for his work in Grey's Anatomy and Supernatural, whereas the Spanish actor Javier, for his Academy Award-winning performance in No Country for Old Men.
Jai Courtney and Phillip Phillips
Remember Phillip Phillips, who won the eleventh season of American Idol? Well, if you've ever fancied him, then you are going to want to know the Australian actor Jai Courtney, who is basically his clone. The two may be in different fields, but we bet they can collab and give their fans twice the eye candy they'd normally give alone.
Today, Phillips has three studio albums and multiple singles, including the charting songs Home, Gone, Gone, Gone, and Raging Fire. On the other hand, Courtney attracted much fame for Captain Boomerang's role in Suicide Squad—a character he'll soon reprise in The Suicide Squad in 2021.
Zachary Quinto and Eli Roth
It's hard to tell if it's the hair, the thick brows, the nose, or the grin, but somehow, Zachary Quinto and Eli Roth share more than one similar feature. They are also closely related, career-wise. Quinto makes a living by frequently bringing life serial killer characters, whereas Roth generates income creating films about them. Coincidence?
Seeing that the two were born in different geographical locations, five years apart, they couldn't be long lost twins. However, they're like fruits from the same tree. Quinto's upcoming works include Biopunk, Invincible, and Abandoned, whilst Roth is in the process of producing Lake Mead and 10-31.
Dana Delany and Mimi Rogers
Not only do Dana Delany and Mimi Rogers share matching looks, but they also have very similar voices, which is kind of eerie. Nevertheless, their similarities are so profound that we're surprised no filmmaker thought of casting them together. It'd be a shame if they never get to play a sister-duo on the screen at the least.
Delany and Rogers are even the same age, born less than two months apart in 1956. Of course, this confirms they can't be sisters lost at birth. Rogers is best known for her work in The Rapture, Two and a Half Men, and Bosch (ongoing), whereas Delany for China Beach and Desperate Housewives.
Drea de Matteo and Portia de Rossi
Somebody call Ellen DeGeneres because her wife has been cloned. There's two of them now, kind of. This Portia de Rossi look-alike is also an actress named Drea de Matteo. However, she is a year older than de Rossi, but the two do share a birthday month.
De Matteo has been active in the entertainment industry since the '90s, just like her clone. She is best known for her roles as Angie Bolen, Gina Tribbiani, and Adriana La Cerva in Desperate Housewives, Joey, and The Sopranos, respectively. Soon, we'll also see her in Paradise City and The Latin from Manhattan. De Rossi earned stardom on Ally McBeal, Arrested Development, and Scandal.
Jordana Brewster and Demi Moore
Of course, Jordana Brewster is much younger than Demi Moore, but doesn't she just remind you of those days when Moore was part of the young "Brat Pack?" Everything from their face shape to their hair is indistinguishable, making it seem bizarre.
Today, the 57-year-old single mother of three is looking better than ever as she continues to wrap up her upcoming films: Songbird and Please Baby Please. One of Brester's most famous roles is that of Mia Toretto in the Fast & Furious film series, and as expected, you'll see her on F9 in 2021.
Emmanuelle Chriqui and JWoww
Ever since she appeared in Jersey Shore, Jennifer Lynn Farley has been better identified by the name JWoww. In fact, she even co-starred in its spin-off, Snooki & JWoww. The 34-year-old currently stars in Snooki & Jwoww: Moms with Attitude and Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.
Enough about her. Let's look at her equally steamy mirror image Emmanuelle Chriqui, a Canadian actress and model. After appearing in The Passage in 2019, Chriqui started working on the upcoming projects Die in a Gunfight and Superman and Lois. The fact that the two are look-alikes isn't something that fans noticed recently, and therefore, we assume they know about one another.
Benicio Del Toro and Brad Pitt
Let's be honest. At their current age, these two actors don't have much of that identical vibe going on. But that doesn't mean they never did. If you recall Benicio Del Toro and Brad Pitt in their younger years, you'd soon realize that people often mistook them for the other.
However, while they were in action, you could tell the two were very different from their tone of voice, posture, and even acting. Both Del Toro and Pitt are Oscar winners for the best supporting actor for Traffic and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, respectively. Now in their fifties, they both have their hands full with new productions.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Heath Ledger
Not only did they have similar looks, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Heath Ledger also had similar acting credits at the initial stage of their careers. Take 10 Things I Hate About You, for example. They played Cameron James and Patrick Verona, respectively, in the 1999 movie.
Sadly, Ledger is no more as he passed away from an accidental drug overdose in 2008. However, you can get a pretty good idea about how he'd look if he was still alive by looking at Gordon-Levitt. Now aged 39, Gordon-Levitt continues to thrive in his career, currently working on Mr. Corman, Wingmen, and K Troop.
Fabio and Jon Hamm
If it wasn't for his long hair, Fabio Lanzoni (addressed by the mononymous name Fabio) would look exactly like Jon Hamm. We're not even exaggerating. It's the only noticeable difference between the two actors. In addition to acting, Fabio is also involved in fashion modeling.
Although we haven't seen much of him in recent years, fans would be delighted to know that he is expected to appear in the Age of Stone and Sky: The Warlock's Curse in 2022. On the other hand, Hamm has been working nonstop since his run on Mad Men ended in 2015. Soon, we'll see the 49-year-old in Wild Mountain Thyme, Top Gun: Maverick, among others.
Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly
They may not always be on the same page when it comes to hair colors, but Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly are pretty much the same in other aspects. Their charm, smile, those mesmerizing eyes, and even height are all very similar, and we're not complaining.
Knowing all that, you can't be surprised that they are in the same industries: acting and modeling. The two even co-starred in The Roommate in 2011. Meester is a singer as well, with a studio album named Heartstrings out there. She played Angie D'Amato in Single Parents while Kelly Dawn Granger/Dove in Titans. The latter is also working on Lansky.
Logan Marshall-Green and Tom Hardy
It's a challenge to pinpoint the exact features that make them look alike but somehow, Logan Marshall-Green and Tom Hardy seem like brothers reunited. The two were born less than a year apart, which further contributes to their similarities.
Marshall-Green first caught our eyes in 24 and Devil, and years later, he is more active than ever. In fact, we can await his work in Redeeming Love in 2021. Hardy obviously has a better reputation in showbiz, especially after starring in box office hits like The Revenant, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Venom. We'll soon see him reprise his roles from the last two said films in their latest productions.
Victoria Justice and Nina Dobrev
When Nina Dobrev left The Vampire Diaries in 2015, its makers should've just hired Victoria Justice rather than putting Elena (Dobrev's character) to literal sleep. We're pretty sure that they could've gotten away with replacing Dobrev with Justice because she is Dobrev's real-life doppelgänger.
Dobrev played multiple characters of four doppelgängers in TVD before leaving, but she did make a comeback on the series finale. These days, the 31-year-old is dedicating her time to new projects like Redeeming Love, Sick Girl, Love Hard, and Woman 99. Justice, at 27, has a little over 50 credits to her name, including Victorious and the upcoming films: Push and Afterlife of the Party.
Hilary Swank and Jennifer Garner
Upon first glance, Hilary Swank and Jennifer Garner share quite the resemblance although, the more you observe, the more it disappears. They were born two years apart in Nebraska and Texas, respectively. Decades later, they both launched their careers in the same industry right around the same time.
For her exceptional work, Swank has won two Academy Awards, among others. Having initially earned recognition from portrayals in The Karate Kid and Beverly Hills, 90210, she has come so far as to star in Netflix's Away and Fatale (upcoming). The same goes for Garner, who will appear in Yes Day, My Glory Was I Had Such Friends, and Fantasy Camp soon.
Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley
Since both Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley came under the spotlight around the same time, many people's eyes were tricked, leading them to believe that they were the same person. As you can see here—they're not. Even though their hairstyles and makeup preference (smokey eyes) could convince you otherwise, they're two separate women.
Filmmakers noticed their resemblance from the beginning, which is why Knightley was asked to double for Portman in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace in 1999. Lately, Portman is a busy bee working in What If...? and Thor: Love and Thunder, while the other, in Silent Night.
Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes
You'll never guess that Ralph Fiennes is the actor who portrayed the title character's nemesis throughout the Harry Potter film series. That's correct—he was Lord Voldemort. One of Fiennes' earliest appearances was in Schindler's List, where he starred alongside Liam Neeson, who is regarded as his celebrity doppelgänger.
While there still are a few similarities between the two actors, their looks have certainly changed over the years. They remain good friends and, although not biological, could be considered what people call "brother from another mother." In the upcoming years, we'll see Neeson on projects like The Marksman and The Ice Road and Fiennes on The King's Man and The Dig.
Gerard Butler and Clive Owen
Both Gerard Butler and Clive Owen are prolific actors, which is why being mistaken for each other wouldn't be such a bad thing. If you're still confused by the two, try remembering Butler from his romcoms like The Bounty Hunter and P.S. I Love You.
However, don't forget the other side, which includes films like Tomorrow Never Dies and 300. He is scheduled to star in All-Star Weekend, Cop Shop, and Remote Control, whereas Owen in Lisey's Story and the third season of American Crime Story. The International star is now 56 years old and will most likely be Butler's undefeated look-alike.
Chelsea Handler and Elizabeth Banks
Is it just their hair, or do Chelsea Handler and Elizabeth Banks actually look like each other's celebrity clones? Well, we think they do. They were born a year apart, with Banks being older. In 2011, Banks told US Magazine that she often gets mistaken for Handler but plays along instead of correcting the fans.
We do feel sorry for the fans, but celebs need some fun too. After ending Chelsea Lately in 2015, Handler moved to work with Netflix. However, that, too, seems like a thing of the past. Banks, after earning prominence on The Hunger Games and Pitch Perfect films, is currently working on Signal Hill and Call Jane.
Ryan Seacrest and Joel McHale
Ryan Seacrest is probably one of the most good-looking faces on American television. Joel McHale is a close second. Or is it the other way around? You be the judge of that. We guess it doesn't really matter as the two share a striking resemblance.
Seacrest has been hosting On Air With Ryan Seacrest on the radio for over a decade now. He also co-hosts Live with Kelly and Ryan alongside Kelly Ripa. McHale, who happens to be the older one, is an actor and television personality who was the long-time host of The Soup. His acting credits include Community, with more like Happily and Star Wars: Detours coming up soon.
Penélope Cruz and Salma Hayek
Both Penélope Cruz and Salma Hayek may speak Spanish, but they come from different countries (Spain and Mexico). There's no denying that they are both exquisite actresses, with millions of fans looking up to them every day. While the two aren't exactly twin-like, they do look like sisters.
However, that isn't the case. Cruz and Hayek are just two random people who ended up capturing American hearts with their extraordinary talents. Cruz with films like Vanilla Sky and Blow, while Hayek with Desperado and Wild Wild West. Hayek is eight years older than Cruz, but they have both done well and have 80+ acting credits each.
Leelee Sobieski and Jennifer Lawrence
About a decade before Jennifer Lawrence made her acting debut, Leelee Sobieski had already made a name for herself. Due to that, Lawrence became the new actress who looks just like Sobieski, instead of the other way around. Sobieski was widely recognized for such movies as Deep Impact, Joy Ride, and The Glass House.
However, she parted ways with her acting career in 2012 and moved on to her arts. At only 30 years, Lawrence has grossed over $6 billion worldwide. Her most noteworthy works so far have been in the X-Men and The Hunger Games films. Soon, she'll also show off her skills in Mob Girl, Bad Blood, etc.
Nathan Fillion and Jeremy Renner
Clearly, Nathan Fillion and Jeremy Renner aren't identical, like some of the celebrities who were on this list. Nevertheless, features like their ears and lips, plus the face shape and hairline, are somewhat close. Since the two were born in different countries and are only a tad over two months apart in age, they are in no way estranged siblings.
Since Fillion garnered recognition on productions like Firefly, Serenity, and Castle, he has been unstoppable. The same goes for Renner, whose most notable performances were in The Hurt Locker and The Town. Fillion currently stars in The Rookie, whereas we'll see the other in Hawkeye in 2021.
Zach Braff and Dax Shepard
Zach Braff and Dax Shepard may not have a jaw-dropping resemblance, but they sure do have some similitude. We can't exactly pinpoint which features bring them together. Perhaps it's numerous minute details combined. Born three months apart in 1975, the two are well aware of their existence as well as likeness.
We must add, though, Shepard looks more like Braff's brother than his brother himself. We bet Joshua Braff (brother) feels a little envious sometimes. These days, Braff has his hands full with Shriver and Tiburon's filming, while Shepard is busy recording his voice works for the 2021 Paw Patrol: The Movie.
