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"
Shakira to the right... but WOW! This is incredible!
Load More Replies...I googled the impersonator. She doesn't really look like Shakira, it seems to be just this Photo. Right angle or Photoshop.....
Hm. It is a lucky pic. She's not much of a Shakira-twin. Here are both next to eachother - and the differences are obvious: https://www.colombia.com/entretenimiento/entretenimiento-y-farandula/shakibecca-la-doble-de-shakira-que-es-la-sensacion-en-redes-243019
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"
I live in New Mexico and worked as a background actor on BREAKING BAD. The look-alike is very well known in the film community, and they could really be twins. Lots of BB activity in Albuquerque all the time. The real Bryan Cranston is one of the nicest folks you would ever want to meet!
I've met him too in London and he was absolutely lovely.
Load More Replies...The "lefts" are the lookalikes. The heading lists the actor's name/character the lookalike is portraying.
Left is the look a like. You can see the difference as Bryan has more frowns in his forehead
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."
Fortunately there is just a subtle difference - not the cold hard, soulless look that the real one has.
Load More Replies...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"
There's something about the left one that makes me like her pic over actual Kate Moss, there's just something about her.
I would like to see the parents of both the real and the fakes
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"
Awesome! Hope you do some charity work for our canine brothers and sisters like Simon. His dogs are adorable. Of course, I am a Yorkie Mom so I love seeing his. Yorkies are little lions!
And again a fake one they have the same exact structure of the face and every single detail is correct
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"
They're knocking it out of the park with the spellings of some of these names! XD
Ok here she is. 🤣ROFL download-5...8af14.jpeg
This girl actually looks almost nothing like Katy if you look her up. It’s always bothered me that people think she looks SOO much like Katy, when she really doesn’t look much like her at all. Susie O’Neil is the true Katy lookalike
I can tell these two apart - she looks like she's cosplaying as Katy Perry instead of really looking like her.
I’d believe her more isnshe didn’t so heavily face tune her picture lol
“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...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"
That just seems so odd that even the teeth are the same.
Load More Replies...The difference in the price of the clothes is a glaring difference though XD
Even to the gap in his front teeth. Doppelgangers amaze me at times.
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"
Now I am convinced that they just put two pictures of the celebrities next to each other to troll us :D They all look so much alike.
love Her freckles!! Too bad I don’t have any 😃
Load More Replies...Yeah!! I’m a flight attendant and people stop me At least once a day!! :)
Load More Replies...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"
that one is really looking a like. maybe they were separted at birth
Honestly, real talk now, Robbie's head is like 30-40% bigger than the look-alike... It's gigantic... And it's not perspective lol
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
The lookalike looks like the slightly less attractive twin of Daniel Craig
Yeah... I'm not seeing this one... The first thing I noticed was the obvious nose size difference. Then the ears. The eyes....and then the person who said the thing about him making a face was totally noticable.
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!!
It might also just be a wide angle lens with her leaning a tad forward. But, yes, it's not the best pic.

Photo-shopped first and then bleached....and oh,so coy who?«moi«?!
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!
He looks kind of alike, but when there's a picture to compare you can see quite a few differences. The lips are most different for me, but also the nose has a differen "tip". - But I do understand why people would thinks it's him
They do not look alike, the eyes, the lips the nose. especially the eyes and lips
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!"
So I get down-voted for liking her? Seems strange but okay. Lol.
Load More Replies...I wonder if the personality the same, just meaning I wonder if she has that cool & collected attitude.
Look-Alike And Johnny Depp
"This Israeli man is well know for being the "Israeli Johnny Depp look alike"
He's got such a teeny-tiny mouth tho... sorry Johnny.
Load More Replies...“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"
same hair style... that's all. There's a difference between being an impersonator and actually looking like someone.
I agree. This one without the extra "effects" probably wouldn't look as close to really looking like SLJ
Load More Replies...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"
There is a Chilean guy who looks exactly like Álvaro Morte, in fact he makes tv commercials... you know what? maybe is this guy XD
Is it me, or are the lookalike's glasses really crooked? It's all I can see.
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"
Yeah this one looks like she's had a ton of procedures to look like Mariah and it's not that she actually originally looked like her.
Load More Replies...Thank you Bored PANDA !! FOR SHARING ALL OF OUR LIKENESS seen on Same de la same on Instagram.. you can find me too (MariahCareyImpersonator ) my name is Carrie looking forward to following Bored Panda
A positive person always has a more positive life LOL, I really appreciate that, thank you for commenting on my photo in a kind manner
Load More Replies...Noooo I can’t lol not the way she does at least, always lip-synch .
Load More Replies...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.
The "lookalike" has been facetuned to death, no way to know if she's a lookalike IRL or if she's even human.
Wish it had a link to each of there profiles or even there names in the caption
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"
Fun fact: Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest and got 3rd place!
Dolly Parton once entered a drag contest as herself - and lost, lol.
Load More Replies...Bit of a stretch. Might have been more noticeable when he was younger.
Yeah, the grimace and the under-eye lines could be smoothed out photographically.
Load More Replies...As a huge fan I find it sad that if you look him up at Google or something you often get a photo of someone who performed as him and that image is even used as the real Charlie Chaplin on posters and so on. As someone mentioned underneath another photo, there is a difference in putting on the same outfit or being a real look alike.
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"
The impersonator looks like " Hey, I love myself, I'm famous" whereas Drake has kinder eyes!
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"
He looks like Andrew Lincoln in Walking Dead (grimy, haggard etc). I don't think he can pull off Andrew Lincoln looking normal like in Love Actually.
Fair enough, I think more people visualize him this way vs. clean cut. The lookalike looks even more scruffy/badass than the real Andrew Lincoln.
Load More Replies...I have met Cecil Grimes many times and the resemblance is uncanny! He has been mistaken for the real Andrew Lincoln several times...especially at conventions where they are both appearing!
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"
No it doesn't but she looks like she could be her sister.
Load More Replies...You use everyone's actor/character name but you cant look up who plays Sansa Stark? Its Sophie Turner
Sophie Turner. She's the only actress this blog they put her stage name instead of her real one.
The lookalike is the teen stage between adult Amy Pond (Karen Gillan), and kid Amy Pond (Karen Gillan's cousin).
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"
They are both cute, but in this one I would give the doppelganger the edge. Wow..
Don't lie boo I can tell by looking at you that you like the attention. However, no I don't think you look like her - makeup and filters do wonders
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!
He looks like what Messi would look like on FIFA if they didn't get his face right
This one I would not buy. Yeah, there's some resemblances yet it's more the facial hair I guess.
The allure of celebrity look-alikes captivates many, drawing strong parallels to the notion of spotting resemblances between inanimate objects, like cars, and our favorite celebrities. Similar to the way some cars can remind us of familiar star-studded faces, the community in the look-alike universe thrives on these uncanny resemblances.
To dive deeper into the phenomenon of comparing objects to celebrities, you might find it intriguing to explore how cars can bear startling similarities to celebrities.
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"
that would be an interesting trick, both being women
Load More Replies...I think if she did heavy eye makeup and falsies it would a close match for this picture.
Load More Replies...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 "
Yes, and if she splurged a little more on her costume.
Load More Replies...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"
Is it just me or does J.Lo look like Mariska Hargitay in this pic?
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"
For real!! That's who it was I was trying to figure out!! He's probably too tall to pull it off though.
Load More Replies...Probably looks nothing like him once the shades come off. That area around the eyes and the eyes themselves matters a great deal.
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"
John L - Kelly Rowland was 1/3 of the group Destiny's Child, where Beyonce got her start.
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"
Is the shadow from the soap and the lights on the top that give a form of woman chest maybe?
Load More Replies...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"
Nah, but there is an Oprah look alike. She's thick and is also a stripper. I will never get her image out of my head. Never.
Because someone screwed up. Haha this is def NOT one of the Olsen twins like the description under the caption implies!
Load More Replies...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"
What do you mean? It's a stubbly man in a suit, surely identical therefore? Even sketched the tattoos with biro.
Load More Replies...Why would you give up your Identity and copy the look or the exact same tattoos of a stranger. I don't get it.
That's basically what most of these photos are about. They're trying to look like the celebrities, they just copy the looks.
Load More Replies...If you're going to copy someone else's tattoos, at least make them look the same, maybe.
This one looks like he modified himself in order to make the look. He failed mind you, but....a true look-a-like would just be born that way, and use makeup and outfits to fill the gap. Getting similar tats and possibly other work done shows obsession, not chance. Although, if you make it your business to be the copy then it makes more sense.
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"
I like it that her picture is less altered than most of them. She has smile lines.
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."
He does look something like him, just not exactly
Load More Replies...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"
I can see it. She is much much closer than Harry Potter above..
Load More Replies...Ok as someone that loved the twins growing up, I can see her being an Olsen.
Both Olsen twins are so gaunt now, they look like a pair of hatstands.
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 ! ) "
wait is this a joke? he makes money being a lookalike? The Owl looks more like daniel radcliffe than he does
compared to the others, which are pretty identical, this one for me is a no
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!

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.
