People aren’t as unique as they want to believe. Nearly all of us have been in a situation where we’re walking around town and we spot someone who looks exactly like a friend of ours. Or even us. It’s a very peculiar feeling to realize that we’re not alone. That there’s at least one person out there who is our copy. Our twin. Our doppelganger.
Do you know what’s awesome? Looking just like a celebrity. Plenty of other people think so, which is why they became part of the ‘Same de la Same’ Instagram community that is dedicated to sharing celebrity look-alike photos with the entire world. We’ve picked out some of the best side-by-side comparison photos, so upvote the celebrity doppelgangers that left an impression, and share this post with your pals to see whether they notice the photos are of famous doppelgangers and not the famous people themselves. And let us know in the comments what popular celebrity your friends think you look like (for example, some of my pals think I look a bit like Keanu Reeves).
Bored Panda interviewed ‘Same de la Same’s’ creator Freddy Slivinski to learn more about the community of famous look-alikes. Make sure to scroll down for our full in-depth interview with him.

Look-Alike And Shakira
"The public that decides to follow me, values me for the work I do in the stage. They value the singing and the professional dance I perform, but on the day to day they know that I am still Rebeca Maiellano, a Venezuelan singer and impersonator"
Look-Alike And Bryan Cranston / Walter White
"I've been Heisenberg look-alike since 2015. I've met Bryan Cranston twice, I was mistaken for him in Albuquerque and got featured on the local news channel. At comic con I sometimes get celebrities who want to be photographed with me"
Look-Alike And Kim Jong Un
"Looking like an a**hole has been one of the best things that have happened to me. People shock and horrified for the first 10 seconds then usually laughter. However some people never move to the second phrase."
31-year-old Freddy told Bored Panda that he was born in Uruguay, but moved to Israel when he was 14. He got married a month ago and works as a copywriter. “I love to think about cool and different ideas and to create new things. I wanted to create an Instagram page that everyone in the world would know about and to make it one of the biggest communities.”
Look-Alike And Kate Moss
"There is only one Kate Moss but it’s a pleasure to be her lookalike. I keep busy travelling working for brands, modelling, promotions, events...life is an adventure"
Look-Alike And Simon Cowell
"I was spotted at The Isle of wight festival in the VIP area and someone mentioned the likeness. Since then had a privilege to work with Simon on 3 occasions, also enjoy being able to help so many worthy charities since this started"
Look-Alike And Katy Perry
"It's such a compliment to be compared to Katy. I have always been such a big fan of her so it definitely gives me confidence to be compared to someone I look up to"
“I thought a lot about different ideas for different pages and suddenly I remember a game that I used to play with my twin brother that we loved to play. The game was to look at people on the street, mall, beach, or elsewhere and find famous people that looks like him. A strange game, but it was fun,” Freddy explained how the idea for ‘Same de la Same’ came to him.
“When I remembered this game, I decided to create a page, a community of ‘real people’ that look like celebrities, singers, actors, athletes, politicians, and other famous people. When I created the page, I discovered these people’s amazing and cool stories.”
Look-Alike And Tom Cruise
"I've been doing this for 9 years now. It's been an awesome journey. I do this full time as a job. People really love to take photos with me, even though they know I'm the young version. The nostalgia is a strong feeling, it brings people back in the 80s"
I like this one. You can tell who the look-alike is since his tooth isn't in the middle of his face. Probably is a nicer guy than the real Tom, too.
The difference is the" real" Cruise have that diva expression around his mouth. Too full of himself. The other just look like a happy Cruise.
I want to see what the lookalike looks like without the sunglasses
Can someone please explain to me what this "tooth" referencing is all about?!
The ‘normal’ Tom Cruise haves one tooth in the middle of his mouth. The other not.
Load More Replies...Hmmmm I don't know how to feel about this whole post I'm confusedddd
Tom has a very distinct front tooth that is off center....that's him on the right
Look-Alike And Elton John
"It's great fun, a lot of people do a double take which is always funny and appreciated. I was at Elton's concert in Leicester UK a couple of years ago and of course I dressed as Elton and got mobbed by people all night and even had to sign a few autographs"
Look-Alike And Meghan Markle
"I'm currently a flight attendant and ever since she was on Suits people would tell me I look like her. When she married Prince Harry it intensified. People stare at me and smile a lot, they stop and tell me that I look like the new Princess Meghan Markle"
Freddy continued to reveal what he learned about these celebrity lookalikes: “I discovered the amazing life of lookalikes. They live like stars, like rock stars: they act in commercials, sing on shows, go on TV programs, they make money just because of this. They are like famous celebrities, and only because they look like them. So I decided that I want everyone in the world to know about their amazing stories. I want to bring these amazing stories to the entire world.”
When asked by Bored Panda how many doppelgangers he thinks we all have on Planet Earth, Freddy replied that there’s ‘at least’ 1 person out there somewhere who is almost our carbon copy: “I'm sure that everyone has a doppelganger and that everyone can find some resemblance with a celebrity or a famous person.”
Look-Alike And Robbie Williams
"I've been turning heads for the best part of two decades now and you'll always hear a random shout of, "Robbie!" whether it be in an airport, supermarket or pub! I've met RW himself, he's always been super cool and supportive and we just ended up chatting about football"
Look-Alike And Daniel Craig / Agent 007
"It's great being mistaken for James Bond. I get stopped in the street nearly every time I go out. I have people wanting their photo taken with me. I've even had some believing I was him. I love it and will never get fed up with it"
If the lookalike stopped pulling that stupid face and sucking parts in I doubt he’d look anything like Daniel Craig
Look-Alike And Angelina Jolie
"Every time I get the comparison, whether it’s at work, running an errand or online, it’s very flattering but also hard for me to believe. I think she is absolutely gorgeous and never thought of myself in that respect"
The 'faux' Jolie's head looks hysterically large next to her shoulders! She's fiddled around with her image a tad too much!!
Ironically, Freddy and his friends don’t know what celebrity he resembles. But he hasn’t given up hope and knows they’ll find someone sooner or later: “When that happens, I hope they will find some handsome and cool celebrity.”
Freddy also loves the idea of events where people compete to see who looks, acts, and sounds most like a particular celebrity. “It sounds like so much fun!”
Look-Alike And Benedict Cumberbatch
Over the years people have said that I look like Benedict, but I thought nothing of it. Then I cosplayed Dr Strange at a Comic-Con and couldn't walk anywhere without being stopped for photos!
Look-Alike And Mila Kunis
"In person so many people have said to me "you know who you look like?" and I'll always already know what they are about to say so I say (Mila Kunis) and then they always say "that girl from that 70s show!"
Look-Alike And Johnny Depp
"This Israeli man is well know for being the "Israeli Johnny Depp look alike"
“I discovered that followers and people in general really like lookalikes because it entertains them. And of course, they love their stories because the truth is that everyone dreams of looking like celebrities and living like rock stars,” Freddy of ‘Same de la Same’ mused.
Furthermore, he had a message for all potential celebrity lookalikes: “Don’t be ashamed to send me a picture if you think that you, your family member, or friend look like a celebrity. Maybe you’ll discover that you really look like a celebrity and you will start living like a rock star as well. I just want to make a page that everyone knows in the world because of its special and exclusive content, not just for the likes. I love to tell stories. I try to tell interesting stories about special and different people.”
Look-Alike And Samuel L. Jackson
"I get people everyday telling me I look like Samuel L. Jackson. It's amazing! I actually did work with him as a photo double and stand-in"
Look-Alike And Jason Statham
"When people see me at the first time, they think that I‘m the real Jason Statham. Only at second glance they see the difference. Also a lot of people think we are Twins"
Jason Statham is hot, but the lookalike is more kindly-looking, like a nursery-school teacher or a vet.
Look-Alike And Álvaro Morte
"It's fun to look like the Professor from 'La Casa de Papel' because people always talk to me on the street, ask me for photos and want to make videos with me to send to their friends"
Look-Alike And Mariah Carrey
"When I make an appearance at an event as Mariah Carrey impersonator it's such a fabulous experience. Everyone is always happy to see someone in the likeness of the queen. People are always so kind and supportive"
Look-Alike And Rihanna
"I love it when they say I look like her. Rihanna is a big inspiration to me and so many other women around the world. She ' s wonderful ! "
Gimme 10 pounds of make-up and I too can look like Rihanna. Even though i'm a bearded 6'2'' bald dude.
Look-Alike And Psy
"It's a strange and funny sensation when I walk on the streets, specially with sunglasses. Suddenly people start moving like the "Gangnam Style dance" or use their cell phones to take pictures with me"
Take any chubby Korean man, give him a nice haircut, and the outfit and BOOM. Got a Psy.
Look-Alike And Charlie Chaplin
"Since 2006 I imitate Charlie Chaplin as Little Tramp at events and parties. I dedicate myself every day to improve my characterization and performance. The people are delighted when them see me and I give them a big hug"
Look-Alike And Justin Timberlake
"People get really excited when they see me. For me it's an honor to look like someone so loved and respected by his fans . My hope is that I bring a little of that JT—ness to everyone I meet. I'm just bringing sexy back"
Look-Alike And Drake
"It's amazing to be so similar to such a great and talented artist like Drake. People love to take pictures with me. In bars and parties they go crazy when they see me and they always ask me to sing, is very funny"
Look-Alike And Andrew Lincoln / Rick Grimes
"Good god its been an amazing time, I have been booked all over the world. I'm living an adventure most dream of and everyone loves Rick Grimes. I feel so lucky and blessed to have been given this random opportunity and had the courage to go for it"
Look-Alike And Sansa Stark / Game Of Thrones
"It actually started as a joke between my friends back in high school. I get the "Oh my gosh you look like that lady I watch on TV" a lot. I've had people stop me on the street and asked for pictures. I had a guy once yell out of his car at me. That was intense lol"
Look-Alike And Selena Gomez
"I don't do anything to look like her, it always makes me kinda awkward whenever people tell me that I look like Selena Gomez. When I was younger I got told I looked like her a lot but now barely, so I'm actually happy with that"
Look-Alike And Mike Myers / Austin Powers
"It's very groovy to look like Austin, especially since without the costume, I look NOTHING like him!"
I really wish it would only store those who naturally look like celebrities especially bc the article discussed how there's the possibility of a doppelgänger for everyone in the world. But when no one is "trying" to look like another normal person, but lots of people DO try to look like celebrities bc they can cash in on that.
Look-Alike And Leo Messi
"It's an honor to look like the best soccer player in the history. It's amazing when people ask for selfies with me and it's so weird but people think I'm the real Messi. In fact, I'm the Israeli Messi"
I think the angle is throwing us off. And his beard is more groomed. But I see it!
Look-Alike And Demi Lovato
"My friends at school compared me to her all the time. For me it's an honor to be compared to someone I love and admire. I started Impersonator's work as a tribute to the great artist she is"
Look-Alike And George Clooney
"I do this job for the last 15 years. I have traveled to 55 different countries and worked with many well known celebrities, including the real George Clooney. I am approached every where for a selfie and always get free drink when I'm out"
Look-Alike And Gal Gadot / Wonder Women
"People get excited when they see me and usually want me to take pictures with their kids. I love it because Wonder Woman is such a amazing girl power icon for little girls to look up to. You can be a princess and kick butt too "
Look-Alike And Jennifer Lopez
"I've been told for many years that I look like Jennifer Lopez. Hearing that is such an honor as Being Latina it's and honor to represent her. When I met JLO she told me that we looked alike. I decided to do the first ever JLO tribute. It hasn't been easy but it's worth it"
Look-Alike And Will Smith / Agent J
"When Men in Black hit the screens in 1997 my whole life changed, since then I have travelled the world as a professional lookalike and tribute artist"
Look-Alike And Kelly Rowland
"People said I looked like Kelly Rolland every where I go.Some people say should play her in a destinys child movie, ask to take a picture with me or say that we can be sisters"
Look-Alike And Bruno Mars
"Many people say that I look like Bruno Mars, and for me it's a great honor to represent him here in Brazil. In addition to being a Impersonator, I'm a BIG fan of him"
Look-Alike And Oprah
"When I go out in public people will say "how rude" I think it is funny when people tell me I look like an Olsen twin. I has worked to my advantage with modeling and acting"
Look-Alike And David Beckham
"It's a huge compliment, I'm a admirer of all that he has achieved in his professional and personal career . The feedback I' ve received has been great, if I can make people smile, then perfect"
Look-Alike And Emma Stone
״I have been photographed by paparazzi a few times in LA, but the fun part is I can just walk into VIP sections in clubs without saying a word"
Look-Alike And Donald Glover
"I heard a few people say they think I favored him when I wore my hair and beard similar to his. So I decided to be him for Halloween. Then everyone saw the resemblance."
Look-Alike And Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen
"When I go out in public people will say "how rude" I think it is funny when people tell me I look like an Olsen twin. I has worked to my advantage with modeling and acting"
Look-Alike And Daniel Radcliffe / Harry Potter
"I'm very lucky to do what I do, I get to go to the most magical places & meet the most magical people . It's a pleasure & an honour to be Harry & to be engaged to hermione! (don' t tell Ron ! ) "
Look-Alike And Madonna
"It's definitely been really interesting to look like Madonna all my life. I do get stopped a lot when I'm out or I'm shopping or people come up to me asking to take a photo. Her fans have been super nice & good to me so I can't really complain at all "
Once, Charlie Chaplin entered a contest for best Charlie Chaplin lookalike and came in third!
Hugh Jackman went to a convention dressed as Wolverine and no one recognised him and they even told him he's not tall enough
Load More Replies...Some are real doppelgangers, some barely look a like, some just have same hair. We probably all have some doppelgangers in the world it would be interesting to find them. Here is an idea for an app!
Apparently I have a doppelganger in the next town - people will approach me and say things like "Thanks for speaking up at the town meeting!" and I have to tell them it wasn't me.
Load More Replies...It's like near the end, they just had the same outfit on...similarity ended there.
Some of these comments are too critical. They are look alikes, they are not going to look exactly like the celeb. Most of them could fool most poeople in a passing glance.
Especially because you don't have a reference photo right there to compare them to.
Load More Replies...You can find your look alike on " twinstrangers" but mine doesnt look much like me.
It feels like the universe runs out of original faces and starts making copies. Haha!! I love it though-the more Shakira, the better.
Should one with normal but that would take too long with a lot of advertising. I use to get told I looked like Julia Roberts and once the access that played Mallory knots and natural Born killers, can't remember her name at the moment.
I'm the Great Value version of Terrence J. My name is Kelsey-Bernard. Just Google me lol
While the actor here is hardly a big celebrity, since I'm a fan of Seinfeld and Jeopardy I couldn't help but notice the similarities. They are apart in age, but when this episode of Seinfeld aired, the actor was probably a lot closer in age then to the age Tyler is now. I wonder if either of them have been told of their similarities. 3dekscenis...33ff95.jpg
Try the two actresses - Greet Verstraete, and Joanne Whalley Kilmer. Greet was born in Belgium in 1985 and Joanne Walley (Kilmer) was born in the UK in 1961
I would like to invite you to look at a picture of a young Nancy Wilson from Heart and a picture of Christina Applegate. I see a resemblance.
I look like Daniel Radcliff(when he played harry potter). Although I'm a girl. I just have short hair. Also, my teacher Ms. Whitman looks a lot like Becky Sauerbrunn.
xesowapa you have really opened up my world ! I have got it all wrong.I told my sons to be decent human beings,study hard in order to get their degrees and be able to provide for themselves and all along I apparently I did them a disfavour.I should have drowned them at birth,adopted a daughter who would get knocked up at 17 and then make her fortune on-line as a single mum,and surely would provide for her elderly parents as well....live and learn...but then again,maybe not..
So I look quite a bit like the New Zealand cricket player Scott Styris One day out walking I noticed the (ex) All Black captain Richie McCaw walking toward me. He nodded at me and said "scotty". I nodded back and said "Richie" and scampered off before he realised I was a faker!...
When a 'doppelganger' has to change their hair, wear the clothes, loads of make up, wear sunglasses, grow a beard, or do a particular expression, it tells us something, namely, that they're not much of a lookalike! I could probably look like the Queen or Donald Trump if I really tried.
People tell me my hole life I look like Avril Lavigne I think its funny :)
Most seem to be impersonators. Only a few are genuine look-alikes.
Load More Replies...There are some celebrities here who hire their own doppelganger to do photo shoots and stand ins.. 😂👍 While they do something else (most probably vacationing secretly)
So, my friend looks exactly like Millie Bobby Brown. No joke, go follow her if @bobbiberryhill. She has a private account, but she'll accept. Literally no joke. She was eleven for Halloween two years in a row.
