Undoubtedly, humanity is full of wonders and surprises. Nearly 8 billion people on this planet, and despite us all being totally different, we're all somewhat the same. Just think about it, how many times have you heard from your pals that they saw someone that looked exactly like you? The genes often play a fun game with us where people can be the spitting image of each other, even though they're not related whatsoever.
Just imagining that there's someone on the other end of the Earth looking ridiculously similar to you is exciting, at the very least. Well, this TikToker went viral for putting a fun twist on finding people's doppelgängers. The woman focuses on comparing celebrities, and it's genuinely incredible how people that we're, to some extent, familiar with can look so alike!

Javier Bardem And Jeffrey Morgan
I legit just learned they weren't the same person! Bahahaha. I don't pay enough attention to celebs so it's not like I cared enough to look into. But I saw a list like this and was like "wait! They're two different ppl?"
A doppelgänger is a German word that literally translates to "double-walker". Looking at mythology specifically, doppelgängers are usually those rather evil creatures or ghosts who deliberately impersonate you and are essentially seen as carriers of bad luck.
It was believed that if you happened to encounter your friend's look-alike then it is a sign of an approaching sickness or, in the best case scenario, just a sign of misfortune. However, if you came across your own doppelgänger, then it was the time to wave everyone goodbye – as it was believed to be a death omen.
Dax Shepard And Zach Braff
I found this daguerreotype of Dax from the past! dax-time-t...4a3fdb.jpg
Yeah they only have some features in common, like the color of the eyes.
Load More Replies...I have gotten these two mixed up once or twice and I'm usually good with faces.
It took me years (and Google) to learn that Zach Braff never was blonde...
Back in the day, it was said that to identify the evil creatures it was enough to either look at their reflection or their shadows, as such things were totally not a part of the doppelgänger's existence. Moreover, the reason why it was thought that once you ran into one of your evil "twins" you'd be doomed forever was purely because the doppelgängers themselves were made to harm humans.
Besides, having an evil double that not only looks like you, but also walks and basically mirrors your whole persona has been a great influence in many films and stories. There's a number of famous wicked lookalikes, for instance, (spoiler alert) the horror film "Us" where a family gets attacked by mysterious people dressed in red who turn out to be their exact clones!
Tom Hardy And Logan Marshall-Green
I often wonder why actors who resemble each other like this are never cast as brothers in movies.
It's hard enough to find two people who are right for the roles and have the right chemistry.
Load More Replies...Am I the only one who think Tom Hardy would make a great James Bond?
I used to call him Tom Hardy of the poor, when watching Upgrade.
Both are extremely handsome, and both also trigger the 'there's a predator nearby' instinct in my gut, which makes me want to date them and run away from them at the same time.
Chad Smith And Will Ferrell
This is part of that and equally hilarious https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsWHyBOk2iQ
Load More Replies...I love this one, they've actually had a drumming competition , they embrace the fact that they look alike
chad who?? I probably glimpsed him before and just thought he was Will Ferrell
Of course, these urban legends are nothing but the imagination of our ancestors, but it is spooky regardless. There are even a few famous sights of those evil lookalikes, for example, Abraham Lincoln supposedly claimed that he saw a double reflection of himself in the mirror, where one was much paler. It is believed that he shared this eerie incident with his wife, who was totally convinced that it was a bad sign, and that the reason why the second reflection was so pale was because he would successfully serve his first term, but would not finish his second.
Margot Robbie And Jaime Pressly
I've heard that they both have seen pictures of the other and thought it was themselves.
Somewhere out there is a person like me with terrible selfies as well
Load More Replies...The photo of them two meeting at an awards ceremony is one of my fave pics ever!
Yeah maybe in these 2 photos, otherwise not much. Maybe we could compare Margot Robbie to Samara Weaving instead.
Please. Jaime Pressly is the OG. Margot Robbie is nothing but a poor man's Jaime.
there are like 5 or 6 actresses that look the same as Margot Robbie.... it's crazy
They forgot Emma Watson, Mckenna Grace and Kiernan Shipka
Katy Perry And Zooey Deschanel
Katy Perry did that before she got famous
Load More Replies...i dunno. i think Zooey Deschanel actually looks like that and Katy Perry is made up to look like that
It's like the one is the celebrity and the other the fan that wants to look like the celebrity
Load More Replies...They don't look alike at all.. They are simply fair-skinned, blue-eyed brunettes with bangs.
Am I supposed to know both of these so-called celebs? Not hitting many here.
If you were born in the last century, yes. Your comment isn't the flex you think it is lol
Load More Replies...Whether that's true or not will likely be forever unknown, however it is a great way of scaring your peers on a potential horror movie night. Though despite all those creepy facts, nowadays, doppelgänger is simply used to describe a person that looks somewhat similar to you and doesn't carry any sinister meanings.
Timothy Olyphant And Josh Duhamel
Find out more details about Josh Duhamel.
Timothy Olyphant did an interview where he said his own mom will confuse him with Josh Duhamel
Timothy Olyphant talking about this on Conan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgx6X6s6cUg
Jessica Chastain And Bryce Dallas Howard
Honestly, the only resemblance is that they have red hair. Totally different eye colour, face shapes. I have never been able to see the resemblance.
Really? I immediately thought that was the same person in both photos
Load More Replies...Also add Christina Hendricks to this one. I legit thought all three were the same person once.
Maybe if your blind kinda feel this is a version of the family guy are you big fat Paulie or Jackie Chan joke
Amy Adams And Isla Fisher
Another example that they find them similar just because they have red hair! They don't look alike
I get them mixed up. I also confuse Paz Vega with Penelope Cruze and think Gal Gadot looks like Ashley Judd. Hair color does come into play, but I generally look at facial features.
Load More Replies...Putting the creepiness aside, it's truly captivating how it's believed that we're all so unique but then we're really not. All those mixed genes and, poof, someone thousands of miles away from you has your eyes and your smile. But seeing these famous folks that are all living in the big screen looking freakishly similar is even more entertaining.
Michael B. Jordan And Nick Cannon
Omg I just realised thats why I was so confused when I read an article about Jordan and the photo of him just felt out of place
Eww Nick Cannon is trash. Don't compare him to Michael B. Jordan. They don't even look alike.
Different ears, different brows, different lips, different cheeks, different chin
When you see them speak and move, they don't look alike, but I see it in this photo.
Maia Mitchell And Bailee Madison
I took a good look at the eyes and the eyebrows, they look like copy-pasted LOL. Like how is this possile.
I have to disagree here my friend . At these pics at least looks like the same person.
Load More Replies...Leighton Meester And Minka Kelly
The woman on the left has familiar face features, I would say something from Marylin Monroe...
Load More Replies...Well it's not uncommon.. I once read women usually have bigger noses than men. First I thought "no way". But then I thought of how many of the famous women have had their noses done? Probably 98% haha
Load More Replies...It would be amazing for humankind to have completely individual features – however, judging by the fact that we're all a part of the same species, coming across a person with slightly similar characteristics is not a supernatural and otherworldly experience, though it's still rare. Have you ever met your doppelgänger?
Skeet Ulrich And Johnny Depp
When you order Johnny Depp on Wish
Load More Replies...Both aged like a fine wine. Men are so darn lucky! I am most definitely not ageing like a fine wine and i’m not even 30 yet
when they were both in early teens they looked like twins, now not at all
Natalie Portman And Keira Knightley
Isn't there a story that Portman's mom couldn't tell them apart on the set of Star Wars?
I mean, Knightley played one of Portman's decoys/bodyguards in The Phantom Menace
I don't really see this one that much. It's funny how everyone sees faces differently so that certain faces look identical to some but not to others.
I think Milly Bobby Brown looks more like NP (younger version, obvs)
Timothée Chalamet And Natalia Dyer
And their noses, eyes, eyebrows, and smiles are the same! And the hair is one appointment's difference!
Load More Replies...I just looked up Natalia Dyer b/c I didn’t know who she was, and her husband (Charlie Heaton) is a dead ringer for Harry Styles. Bizarre.
yall did one of them dirty. she either looks like a man or he looks like a girl
He looks like a girl, definitely (No hate on him of course)
Load More Replies...Carrie Fisher And Stevie Nicks
Lili Reinhart And Brittany Murphy
I never thought Brittany was cute, I guess it gave me too much asociation with Courtney Love's looks I guess. I find it really sad, that she died so young.
Joey Bragg And Brendon Urie
Steve Carell And Alice Cooper
It's mostly the mouth/teeth. Both have a very fine upper lip, that almost looks like it curling when smiling/open mouth.
Joe Anderson And Kurt Cobain
not at all, the one on the left has more in common with Michael Dudikoff, when he was in the Cobra series.
Angus Cloud And Mac Miller
I feel wrong for attempting to compare someone who's passed with someone who's still here with us. Just wrong IMO.
They just have the same haircut and beard. Their faces don't look alike
Selena Gomez And Lucy Hale
Selena Gomez is actually really pretty - this a horrible photo of her!
I have a weird condition where I don't see entire images, I see them in tiny pieces. So for me, a lot of these people don't look anything like each other, because I am just comparing piece to piece. On the plus side, it's really weird because I can recognize celebrities by just their eye or their ear or a bottom lip and a chin, because of knowing all the pieces of their face.
Couldn’t get you to more than zero with an upvote. Seriously how many people can’t comprehend you see what you see?
Load More Replies...There are only so many variations on what we consider 'hollywood' style beautiful. It isn't really surprising if there are duplicates.
Right there’s only so many ways people can look !
Load More Replies...Yep... fun to have my suspicions confirmed... I am definitely well into my old bat-hood. I recognized only half of these.
There's some with celebrities that look a lot like historical people. Some examples below. reincarnat...353896.jpg
Celebs-Rei...ated-7.jpg
Celebs-Rei...ated-4.jpg

There's some other really good ones out there, for example a Jeff Goldblum look a like and a Nicholas Cage look a like.
A turkish man on a buss similar to George Clooney.https://pbs.twimg.co..._ptW8AAtrGV.jpg
I refuse to believe that's not Jimmy Fallon with a porn 'stache. McConaughey too, tbh. (Also Keanu Reeves looks like a bunch of old historical portraits)
Load More Replies...They were just reaching on some of these… and many of the real celeb lookalikes weren’t even on here!
Whoever this woman is, she needs to see an eye doctor because some of these celebrities barely resemble each other at all.
