Have you ever been out and about when you spot someone you just know is famous? You want to go up to them so bad to say hi but something seems a little bit off. Well, it could be the person you thought was a celebrity is in fact, an individual who likes one.
Some knockoffs look so much like real celebrities, as people flock around them, they graciously hand out autographs. Those individuals walk away thinking they just met someone famous. Then there are knockoffs that come close but donโt quite make it. Finally, some are eerily similar yet you know theyโre not who you think they are.
These 60 knockoff celeb versions are interesting, to say the least.
1. Cast of Friends โ more like acquaintances
At a quick glance, youโd probably think this was the cast of Friends. But when you get a better look, you realize theyโre more like acquaintances. Even though theyโre not the real deal, a few of them come pretty close.

2. Danny DeVito โ 2rong ethnicity
If Danny DeVito were of Asian descent, heโd look just like this guy. Not only is the hairline, nose, and glasses spot-on, but that smirkโฆhe nailed it.

3. Jimmy Fallon โ spitting image
This guy decided to stand next to a wax figure of Jimmy Fallon. But hereโs the dealโฆhe looks more like the real Jimmy. If you were to put the two side-by-side and have people guess which one was the celebrity, weโre guessing a lot of them would choose the wrong one.

4. โBoltโ agent
One woman thinks her brother strongly resembles the agent from โBoltโ and we have to agree. If not, he might want to contact a lawyer about identify theft. Just saying.

5. Bernie Sanders/Larry David โ a lot of confusion
From the message on this manโs shirt, he must get confused a lot for being Bernie Sanders. Heโs also confused with Larry David the comedian. But who knows, we think that shirt is kind of funny so maybe itโs a coverup.

6. Nicolas Cage โ the female version
See the girl in the back? Now pretend sheโs a guy whoโs not wearing a bikini and doesnโt have long hair. If you focus solely on the face, you can see a striking resemblance to actor Nicolas Cage.

7. Donald Trump โ the hair has it
Okay, so people wouldnโt really think this is President Trump. After all, this is a woman. But you have to admit, that hair looks awfully familiar. Weโll just call her Donna.

8. Mr. Bean โ perhaps pushing it
No, Mr. Bean and this man donโt look that much alike yet the first person you think of when you see this photo is, Mr. Bean. Thatโs ironic. The only question โ does he talk?

Reddit/PilsnerDK
9. Donald Trump โ thatโs interesting
Until this person put a photo of Englandโs Prime Minister against the US President, you never knew they both had sweeping blond hair, shared the same facial expressions, and pointed their fingers. If you squint, you can kind of see it.

Reddit/Truthamania
10. Freddie Kreuger โ at 80
For anyone who ever wondered what Freddie Kreuger would look like as a senior citizen, this is probably about as close as itโll get. We think itโs more the shirt than the face. He looks like a nice person although we canโt see his hands.

11. Abraham Lincoln โ heโs alive
Not only is he alive but heโs also put on a little bit of weight. Of course, we all know this isnโt really the former President but heโd be perfect at portraying him in a reenactment.

Reddit/Costner_Facts
12. Jeff Goldblum โ is that you dad?
The man in the leather jacket is the real Jeff Goldblum while the other guy thinks they look a lot alike. We see a slight resemblance but probably not enough for him to call this actor โdad.โ

Reddit/Cragg_Hackk
13. Shrek โ in human form
This is both cool and creepy. Although this man doesnโt have the same green skin as Shrek, other than that, they could almost be identical twins. He probably wonders why this lady with the phone is staring at him.

Reddit/gene100001
14. Adolph Hitler โ working out
No, of course, thatโs not Adolph Hitler. But donโt you wonder why anyone would sport a mustache that makes them look even a little bit like him? We suggest this guy go with a different style.

Reddit/Alias1431
15. Keanu Reeves โ close but no cigar
There might be a small similarity in the eyes but letโs be honest, thereโs only one Keanu Reeves and this guy isnโt him. Thereโs no way to look as hot as the real actor.

Reddit/cwtheredsoxfan
16. Jake Gyllenhaal โ we see it
A little bit shorter hair and a few less wrinkles around the eyes and we can see how some people could mistake this man for Jake Gyllenhaal. They both have a certain swag about them.

Reddit/dreambomb
17. Kayne West โ looks about right
Although Kayne West isnโt the tallest person, standing at 5โ8โ, this guy in the red shirt appears to have a much smaller statute. But there is something about his face that might confuse a few peopleโฆmaybe.

18. Elijah Wood โ nice try
Elijah Wood is known for his great acting skills and his dreamy eyes. Sure, this girl has pretty eyes but they donโt compare. Good try though.

19. Will Smith โ dead ringer
Weโre impressed, This man looks so much like the real Will Smith, he probably has people flock around him wherever he goes. If the actor ever needs a double, this is who he should call.

Reddit/Dr_Skyma
20. Robert Downey, Jr. โ pretty good
While this man looks a little rougher around the edges than Robert Downey, Jr., he could still pass for the Iron Man actorโฆsort of. At least weโre pretty sure he gets a few second glances.

21. Barack Obama โ shopping at Walmart?
Thatโd be unusual. Even former Presidents often have security all around them. So, seeing Barack Obama shopping at the local Walmart is highly unlikely.

22. Tyrion Lannister โ Iโm a believer
Okay, this guy looks a lot like the actor, Tyrion Lannister. If I saw him, Iโd probably think he was the real deal. Weโre not sure why heโs dressed like that but itโs convincing.

23. Arnold Schwarzenegger โ is it or isnโt it?
Wow, if this isnโt Arnold Schwarzenegger, weโll be shocked. From head to toe, he looks just like him. But then again, looks can be deceiving.

Reddit/Ashamed_Ice
24. Elon Musk โ at it again
If you know anything about this man, itโs that heโs always inventing and reinventing. So, coming up with a new way to eat corn on the cob wouldnโt be too far of a stretch. But, this guyโs not that close in resemblance.

Reddit/foochh11
25. Vin Diesel โ baby faced
If we went back in time and saw this baby, weโd probably think it was Vin Diesel way before he became a big star. Weโd love to compare one of his actual baby photos.

Reddit/facelessindividual
26. Emma Stone โ sans makeup
As a successful actress, most people are used to seeing Emma Stone all dolled up. So, if they saw this woman without makeup, they might think its herโฆjust without makeup. She does have the same youthful face.

27. Vladimir Putin โ hilarious
Whoโd ever expect to see the President of Russiaโs face formed in angus beef? But thatโs what it looks like. Every detail is incredibly close. Thatโs kind of scary.

28. Conan OโBrien โ just chilling on a bus
Somehow, we canโt imagine seeing a famous comedian and television personality riding a subway. We bet this guyโs probably had his fair share of stares from questioning minds.

Reddit/Ps5Face
29. Vincent Van Gogh โ him too?
Seeing Conan on a subway is strange enough but Van Gogh? This man looks amazingly like the famous artist. Even though Van Gogh is dead, we wonder how many people still look at this manโs ears.

30. Adam Sandler โ seeing double
This is bizarre. The real Adam Sandler found his twin on social media. Their likeness is so uncanny, Sandler invited the guy to his film premiere. Hereโs proof.

31. Bobby โ the real King of the Hill
Looking at this kid, thereโs a chance Bobby from King of the Hill was created in his likeness. Okay, probably not but you have to wonder if people teasingly call him โBobby.โ

32. Robert Downey, Jr. โ double take
If you thought the other guy resembled Robert Downeyโs Jr., check out this man. He has a definite โTony Starkโ look that could easily confuse fans.

33. Morgan Freeman โ a little worse for the wear
Although this man looks a lot like this famous actor, itโs not too hard to tell the difference. This guy seems like heโs had somewhat of a hard life. Then again, maybe heโs just tired.

34. Amy Schumer โ โcalm downโ
This woman became famous after a mild road rage incident in which she kept telling the other driver to โcalm downโ She might have a slight resemblance to Schumer but Amy is far more beautiful.

35. Bruce Willis โ not so diehard
Yes, this man looks quite a bit like Bruce Willis but heโs missing the actorโs edge. Known for his tough guy roles, people would quickly realize itโs not him.

36. Albert Einstein โ pondering
What makes this photo cool is that not only does this man resemble Albert Einstein but the way heโs posed, it looks as though heโs in deep thought.

37. Wesley Snipes aka Blade โ is it the hair?
Look, this guy might have the same hairstyle as Snipes who plays Blade in the superhero movie but thereโll never be another actor like this. Snipes is super cool and this guy, lukewarm. Sorry but heโs not fooling anyone.

38. Hannibal Lector โ no comparison
Anthony Hopkins played the infamous Hannibal Lector in the movie Silence of the Lambs. From a distance, we can see some similarities between this actor and this woman. Just imagine your grandma looking like this characterโฆyikes.

39. Samuel Jackson โ stretching things
Even without her long hair, we just canโt see how anyone would confuse Samuel Jackson with this Walmart employee. But then again, stranger things have happened.

40. Donald Trump โ hereโs another oneโฆkind of
When looking at this guy, itโs hard to see much of a similarity with Trump. But in a posted video of him, the two have a lot of the same mannerism. Everyone knows itโs not the President but heโs still fun to watch.

Reddit/PickleRickleTV
41. Stan Lee
Although Stan Lee is a successful comic book writer, producer, and editor, heโs not out and about much. So, thereโs a possibility that people might think this guy is the real Lee. We can see how that could happen.

Reddit/OUCHMYPENIS
42. Lightning McQueen โ itโs real
Many years back, the movie Cars was a huge box office hit. In it, the main character was a red racecar named Lightning McQueen. Come to find out, itโs real. See, it even has teeth.

43. Joaquin Phoenix โ if they say so
While some people think this guy resembles Joaquin Phoenix, weโre not so sure. Perhaps from the right angle. But we donโt think this man has to worry about anyone rushing him for an autograph any time soon.

Similar to the Friends montage, a few of these people look pretty close to the real actors. But others miss the mark.

46. Marshall Mathers aka Eminem โ darn close
This guy looks quite a bit like Eminem but we bet if he had a hat on, the resemblance would be even better. Itโs enough he probably gets asked his name from time to time.

47. Keanu Reeves as John Wick โ from a distance
While we can see some likeness, from a distance this man looks even more like Keanu Reeves playing the John Wick character. We just wonder if heโs as tough.

48. Steve Mnuchin โ in drag
This is kind of funny. If you put a wig on Mnuchin, a little red lipstick, and a cigarette in his handโฆwe can see it. Letโs just hope he never shows up at the White House like this.

49. Drake โ whereโs the smile?
The best way to tell a bogus Drake from the real one is to see the smile. Besides, we highly doubt the real Drake would ever use a pen with a yellow flower top.

50. Robert Downey, Jr. โ yet again
It seems as though a lot of people resemble the Iron Man starโฆthis guy included. Still, the light hair and bedraggled look are a dead giveaway itโs not him. Nice try though.

51. Ed Sheeran โ this is spooky
What do you want to bet Ed Sheeranโs mom has a photo that looks just like this? If Hollywood ever does a story on this singerโs life, this little boy is a perfect choice to play his young self.

52. Bernie Sanders โ as a bird
Whether youโre a Republican or Democrat, you have to laugh. The tufts of hair on each side of this birdโs head is about as good as it gets. And that expression isnโt bad either.

53. Ryan Reynolds โ no, no, no
Some people swear they see a resemblance between this man and Ryan Reynolds. But letโs be honest, no one is as sexy as Ryan so we give this one a thumbโs down.

While this guy is quite a bit younger than the real Barack Obama, there is some definite likeness. We wonder if these people thought this was the former President dressed in costume. Weโll never know.

56. Elon Musk โ a female teen
If Elon Musk was a teen girl, this is what heโd look like. Seriously, remove the hair and the face looks pretty much the same. We think itโs the eyes since we know the real Elon doesnโt have lip piercings.
