Bored Panda had a chat with Mike, who's known as Hollywood's Ultimate Insider, about the upsides and downsides of looking like a beloved celeb.
"It’s fun, it gets you attention, and you can actually make money at if the resemblance is extreme. There are actual agencies with rosters of celebrity lookalikes that book them for personal appearance," he said.

However, he warned that it's also possible to get too much attention. "If you’re going about your day and don’t want to be bothered, you’re not in the mood to be 'on,' or seeing the disappointment that comes from a fan when they realize you’re not really a celebrity," he said that it isn't always glorious and amazing to look like a star. There are times when you'd rather blend in with the crowd.
"Actual celebrities usually love to meet their lookalikes. Celebrities have a great sense of humor about it, and there’s often an instant bonding that happens when a celebrity meets their lookalike," the celebrity expert told us that stars are fans of doppelgangers.

According to Mike, some celebrities have used lookalikes in the past to evade the paparazzi. "Usually when they’re trying to make an entrance or exit to a building," he told Bored Panda. "The lookalike is used as a decoy to distract the paparazzi so the actual celebrity can make their move."
However, the expert believes that celebs wouldn't stoop to using lookalikes to do some of their work for them. "I know of no cases where a star has employed a lookalike to meet fans. If you think about it, this would be a cruel move, and if found out, no celebrity would want the ensuing blowback. It wouldn’t be worth the risk to alienate your fan base," he said.

Meanwhile, Freddy, who founded 'Same de la Same' and has a major passion for celebrity doppelgangers, was kind enough to share his perspective with us again. He believes that the idea for stars to use lookalikes to evade unwanted attention is "excellent" and could be useful.
"I think the lookalikes take advantage of their resemblance to work/make money, but I don't think the real stars need them," Freddy told us, adding that he doesn't mean the doubles used for filming movies.

In Freddy's view, learning to move and behave like stars requires a lot of energy, time, and dedication. "100% a lot of work, a lot of dedication. The lookalikes take the job seriously, they work really hard to make the resemblance works well. Without a doubt, they work really hard to do a good job like an impersonator," he said that lookalikes try to mimic body language as well, not just the style and looks.

Man I Saw Playing The Poker Machines Is Gandalf's Doppelganger

Back in the 90's, people would tell me I looked just like Lisa Kudrow all the time, everywhere I went. I was in Vegas on a slot machine and a group of people came up to me asking for an autograph. I politely told them I wasn't her and they wouldn't believe me. I finally said, "If I were her, would I be playing quarter slots?" They got mad I wouldn't admit it and left in a huff.

The founder of 'Same de la Same' also opened up to us about one doppelganger who recently left an impression on him. "I have a lot of favorites, not only one, everyone is amazing," he said. "If I need to choose from the latest ones, I will say a woman that looks like Scarlett Johansson. She looks exactly like her."

So My Buddy Could Have Been A Wet Bandit
During a previous interview with Bored Panda, Freddy told us all about the celeb doppelganger Instagram project that he created, ‘Same de la Same.’ In his opinion, seeing a double (whether your own or a star’s) can be one of the most surprising things that can happen to a person.
Collecting photos of ordinary people who look like stars has had a profound effect on Freddy’s life. "In recent years, thanks to my Same de la Same page, I was able to meet more than 220 people from all over the world who look like a celebrity and I can tell you for certain that that similarity completely changed their life for most of them," he told us.

"It is incredible to hear their stories and how from being a 'normal' person they became almost like celebrities because of their resemblance to a famous person. People who have 'normal' jobs change their lives and start going on shows, going on TV, doing commercials, interviews, and all just because they look like someone else," Freddy explained how an ordinary person’s life can change once they realize that they look like some of the stars that we adore.
"There are people who from one day to the next who discover that they look just like a new celebrity that is now in a television series or a famous person from social media. And from one day to the next they go viral all over the world. It is completely incredible and without a doubt, it changes your life,” he told Bored Panda.

Spotted Young Mr Robot Doppelganger In The Bus
Sue Mullen Andersen 3 years ago
So, are we thinking there are actually triplets instead of the twins? This is uncanny!
Ella Norton, from the United Kingdom, looks almost identical to Emma Watson, who is probably best known for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies. Ella had a few run-ins with fans and got to experience the kind of love and support that Emma gets on a daily basis.
“The most memorable experience with an Emma Watson fan would probably be when I visited Oxford once, and took photos with everyone there, including children in Harry Potter uniform, and even was asked to sign autographs. I always feel bad to let people down who think I actually am her! It is very surreal to have experienced a tiny bit of what it is like for a celebrity on a daily basis,” Ella told Bored Panda earlier.
“I always feel so bad to let people down who genuinely think I am Emma, as I don’t want to disappoint people,” the doppelganger told us that she doesn’t intend to trick fans in any way; however, she also doesn’t want to let them down.

Looks like Ron Perlman but I'm sure both are more decent than he is.
“So far I’ve only really cosplayed as Hermione, but I’m looking to also cosplay Belle from Beauty and The Beast, and Meg March from Little Women. I’ve never done any professional cosplay before, but I’m looking forward to learning more about cosplay and going to conventions when I can,” Ella told us that she started taking cosplaying more seriously. What’s more, just Emma, she’s an avid bookworm.
“It’s been the dream to study at Oxford University reading English ever since I was little. After, I am hoping to go into work for human rights. I consider myself to be an advocate for human rights as well as environmental issues, and I would love to be able to make a difference in the world. That’s another reason why I like having a platform on social media; it’s great to have a voice with which I can speak on important issues,” Emma’s lookalike Ella told us about her dreams and aspirations.
