The Facebook page Slavorum is a fun and informative place, giving humorous cultural insights into Slavic culture around the world. This list that they have collected celebrates the doppelganger, finding some ordinary, everyday Slavs who happen to look hilariously similar to well-known celebrities.
"We started as a tourist-focused website, but instead of just showing the tourist locations we wanted to show our humorous spirit, our culture and our daily struggles we live by all in a light-hearted and fun way," Slavorum told Bored Panda about their mission. "The humorous approach not only attracted Slavic people who happily share witty humor and satire, but also a wide number of foreigners that welcome it as a un-censored and colorful window into vivid life of Eastern/Central Europe."
"The funny thing is that in the end, many foreign people recognize themselves in these Slavic mini-stories, so lately we have people from all over the world being our becoming our biggest fans and observing cultural and other similarities between Slavic and their cultures."
Slav or not, anyone can enjoy these amazingly accurate lookalikes, the Anthony Hopkins babushka is just... wow. Scroll down below to check it out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

Load More Replies...Donald Trump???
Bruce Willis
You’re my hero. I got that one. I was clearly speaking to the dog lol
Load More Replies...That looks really close, I would have taken a second look to make sure it wasn't him.
Being such a large ethno-linguistic group, the largest in Europe in fact, there are always going to be plenty of doppelganger opportunities. Having a lookalike actually occurs much more often than you'd think, there's a really good chance that somebody out there is walking around with a very close facial resemblance to you. "There is only so much genetic diversity to go around," Michael Sheehan, an assistant professor of neurobiology and behavior at Cornell University, told Live Science. "If you shuffle that deck of cards so many times, at some point, you get the same hand dealt to you twice."
Cara Delevingne?
Who is voting down the comments mentioning her as an actress? She's been in a few big-ticket movies in the past few years, so no idea why people are reacting that way
Load More Replies...Ron Weasley?
This is what happened to him in alternate reality where Hermione realized he's not good enough.
Dr. Gregory House
Hugh Laurie is more handsome than this guy. Also, he doesn't have Hugh's philtrum.
Such distinguished features, yet he still has someone that looks exactly like him. Go figure!
Emilia Clark?
One on the left looks more like Emilia Clarke than Emilia Clarke looks like Emilia Clarke. Whew! That was a mouthful😅
What do you mean "on the left"? I only see one picture
Load More Replies...The one on the left looks like a very, very young girl (like fourteen?)
Megan Fox Or Just A Girl From The Street?
Yep, she was was very cute in the first transformer.... looks like some kind of alien elf now
Load More Replies...But the girl in the left is Claudia Alende, she is Brazilian, not slavic
However, the chances of actually meeting your doppelganger in real life are slim. Although other people might often point out that you resemble somebody else, the way we see faces is subjective and what might be a dead ringer to one person, could look nothing alike to another. It has to do with the way we read faces. Some people start looking at the eyes, then move to the mouth and nose. Others may begin with the nose, then work to mouth and then the eyes. The change in order completely alters the perception of how you view a face.
Have you ever come across your perfect doppelganger?
Julia Stiles? Error!
This Is The Cosplay Of Xenia Shelkovskaya, But One Person, Right?d
...yes, I see also two too big differences... :)
Load More Replies...Then you haven't seen a lot of cosplays. The similarity at the face is something special.
Load More Replies...Here are some Hollywood stars that you might not know have Slavic heritage:
- John Krasinski, best known for his role as “Jim Halpert” on NBC’s The Office, was born in the US to a Polish father.
- Leonardo Di Caprio's grandmother Helene Indenbirken was actually born as Yelena Smirnova in Russia. Di Caprio refers to himself as “half Russian“. He stated he’d love to play Putin if there’s ever a Putin biopic.
- Ashton Kutcher was born to a Czech father and half-Czech mother.
- Eric Bana Eric was born Eric Banadinović in Melbourne to a Croatian father.
- Mila Kunis (Milena Markovna Kunis) is an American actress with Jewish/Ukrainian origin.
- Plus many, many more!
Hello Harry Potter
Amy Winehouse? Nope!
She’s actually the lead actor for an incredible Los Angeles based Amy Winehouse tribute show called Dear Amy. Instagram.com/dearamyband
Jennifer Lawrence?
this is from the SPLIT! of roman empire! west & east/europe! roman empire spread east & west ,vikings spread dna to all of west & east europe! why russian/roman east/byzantine empire bore the 2 headed eagle, spreading east & west
Hmm...has a little bit of Rosamund Pike’s look,too...which makes her look that much more gorgeous.
Justin Bieber Or Just A Guy?
Transporter
The article says this guy looks like Statham, but "while Statham transports secret items, this guy collects bottles (recyclables)".
Both cleaning up the streets tho. Not all heroes wear capes...
Load More Replies...I guess if you put Jason's eyes and eyebrows on a bigger, different shaped skull.
Leonardo???? 😮
"Roman Burtsev a Russian security guard ... has reportedly been given his own reality show on Russian TV station Moskva-24. Called Romance with DiCaprio, the programme will attempt to transform Roman into a Hollywood star, by putting him on a diet and recreating some of Leonardo's most famous movie moments." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If he lost 50lb - gained 6" in height and grew a proper beard - he might vaguely look like DiCaprio. I never realised how tall he was - must have put on a growth spurt after Titanic.
Load More Replies...If you are an A-list actress, you could date DiCaprio. If you are not, you will date him.
Sasha, Is That You?
I wouldn't say massive... Ms. Grey seems an entirely appropriate weight for someone of her height.
Load More Replies...Is it fair to show here her face? Thats not the perspective I recognize her best.
she doesn't look a thing like Sasha Baron Cohen
John Snow Or Not?
Nicole Kidman Or Not?
Not especially now, since Nicole has basically butchered her face chasing youth
Load More Replies...Kinda looks more like Amy Adams, an actress I saw on the American Office.
Severus Snape
Every single day I'm seeing an asian guy looks excatly like Snape.. I've been trying to take picture of him, but I just can't :P
And Another One
She doesn't really look the same, even if they have some similar features
I think she'd make people look twice before they realize it's not Jolie
Load More Replies...She looks like Angelina Jolie in the photos when she was 11 at her first Academy Awards.
Is This Emilia Clark Or Not?
As a Slav myself, I found these entertaining. Who knows which celebrity I look like. ♥
Ha as a Slav i can say i look like Mr Potato Head from Toy Story! :D Buuuut im not famous :C
I hope all those people have chances to realize how special and unique they and their lives are - with or without this *comparison* (=the thief of joy)
Why can't I see both pics? I only see the Slavic ones not the original ones?
Can't see the contrasting pics. Some look identical, others are just a stretch of someone's over-fertile imagination. Like the Di Caprio one.
