Everyone supposedly has a doppelganger. Famous people are now more globally recognized due to movies and the internet. This applies even across language barriers, as American and European media have a vast reach.
Those resembling celebrities might face photo and autograph requests. They can either reveal their non-celebrity status or enjoy a fleeting taste of fame.
Here are individuals (and a few animals) closely resembling celebrities.
Dad is Jimmy Fallon
The initial sighting of Jimmy Fallon must have left this person bewildered. Their confusion stemmed from seeing their father alongside a wax statue of Jimmy Fallon.
Encountering their dad on a national TV show is not an everyday occurrence, after all!
He drinks and knows things
Given the widespread popularity of “Game of Thrones,” spotting a look-alike of Peter Dinklage prompted someone to swiftly grab their camera for a snapshot.
You’re hired, Mr. Obama
While he works at Walmart, this man undeniably bears a strong resemblance to Barack Obama. Given his gray hair, let’s playfully dub him “Second Term Obama.”
Yippee Ki Yay
The resemblance between this man and Bruce Willis is so striking that I would have mistaken him for Bruce Willis without any prior information. At times, they go beyond doppelgangers and appear almost like twins.
Mr. Stark?
This man shares enough likeness with Robert Downey Jr. to make you do a double-take. You might even find yourself pondering why Tony Stark is using public transportation.
It’s a mini Ed She-eran
The resemblance between this baby and Ed Sheeran is unmistakable, even though she’s a baby girl. Her mother, acknowledging the likeness, couldn’t resist capturing a photo to showcase her mini-Ed.
From prisoner to security
In Eastern Europe, there exists a security guard who bears an uncanny resemblance to Morgan Freeman. Alternatively, this could very well be Morgan Freeman, shedding light on his potential pastime activities.
Isn’t he handsome?
The resemblance in this case is understated enough to prompt prolonged contemplation, leaving you wondering about the source of familiarity. The connection might become clearer if he were atop a conversing white stallion.
The Tonight commute
If you did a double-take upon spotting this man, no need to fret – he’s not the late-night host Conan O’Brien. It’s simply a strikingly resembling individual who evidently lacks his own show, given that he’s riding the subway.
Louie De Palma is back at it
Celebrity resemblances can cross racial boundaries. Despite the ethnic difference – with Danny DeVito being non-Hispanic and this man being Hispanic – their striking similarity is hard to miss.
I’d be tempted to strike up a conversation just to hear if he can belt out the famous DeVito holler.
He did that on purpose
One gets the impression that this guy is fully aware of his uncanny resemblance to Robert Downey Jr., evident from his choice of shirt. He’s likely just putting on a charade of feigned cluelessness about the situation.
Team Coco
Conan O’Brien look-alikes appear to be quite abundant. This old photo reveals that Conan O’Brien wasn’t even the pioneer in resembling Conan O’Brien.
Fellow Fallons
In the realm of Conan O’Brien look-alikes, Jimmy Fallon counterparts are even more numerous. The resemblance of this man to the late-night host is so striking that you might find yourself gazing for several moments, pondering the uncanny occurrence.
The phones are working
For those unfamiliar with Jurassic Park, let me save you the suspense: this man is the spitting image of the one responsible for building Jurassic Park. Let’s just hope this flight isn’t headed to a tropical island.
Now that’s very ear-esponsible
Alright, fine, Vincent Van Gogh didn’t exactly chop off his own ear. Nevertheless, a glance at any of his numerous self-portraits reveals that this man is an absolute match for him.
If not for that hairline
Despite the difference in hair texture from the iconic springy curls of Hank, this man’s facial features strongly resemble his. Their likeness is so striking that this individual felt compelled to take a photo mid-game.
Putin the fear in you
No, that’s not Russian President Vladimir Putin riding the subway, but the resemblance is uncanny. It seems the subway is a hotspot for celebrity look-alikes.
We all loved Alexei
While Alexei had a brief stint in Stranger Things: Season 3, his charm and fondness for cherry slushies left a lasting impact. This guy could easily pass as his son, sporting matching glasses and curly hair.
Daniela Radcliffe
At first glance, you might not immediately notice, but after a moment, the resemblance becomes evident. She exudes pure Radcliffe vibes, right down to her wide smile and dark eyebrows. Thankfully, she lacks the scar, though.
Nicolas Caged
Occasionally, celebrity look-alikes can even transcend species. Take this seemingly ordinary orange cat, for instance. The longer you gaze, the more apparent it becomes that it’s Nicholas Cage reincarnated as a feline.
He knows nothing
Behold, Jon Snow, a visage renowned worldwide courtesy of Game of Thrones’ fame! Wait, scratch that, it’s merely a Jon Snow look-alike, boasting incredibly impressive curls.
Michael Scott got a nose job
While this man’s nose is slightly more prominent than Steve Carell’s, the resemblance is unmistakable. Perhaps we should humorously request him to exclaim, “I declare bankruptcy!”
Do the Carlton
Although of Caucasian descent, this police officer’s striking similarity to Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is undeniable. Now, all that’s left to witness is his rendition of the iconic Carlton dance.
That’s a big NEIN
Trends cycle in and out, but when they become too iconic, they’re best relegated to history. This man’s T-shirt and vest ensemble exudes “modern hipster,” yet his petite mustache echoes “1930s Germany.”
Could they BE any more similar?
This resembles a budget-friendly spin off centered around friends named Ron, Miranda, Renee, Fifi, Jojo, and Cameron, sharing an apartment in New York. My bet is, this one will also be removed from Netflix sooner than later.
Almost Dustin
Alright, this might be a stretch, but there’s an undeniable resemblance in the neck’s skin folds of this man. Factor in a pair of gap teeth and a rendition of “Neverending Story,” and you’ve got yourself a Dustin vibe!
Cloning Clooney
Spotted on Turkish public transit, this gentleman bears a slight resemblance to George Clooney. No need to fret about the gray in your hair, sir – they say Clooney only improves with time.
Build a park
On occasion, individuals share a couple of distinct traits that evoke celebrity resemblances. This Super Lawyer bears a striking similarity to Pawnee’s Parks and Recreation deputy director, Leslie Knope, famously portrayed by actress Amy Poehler.
You know this guy
This man resembles a budget-friendly version of Steve Carell, offered as a store-brand option. While I can’t pinpoint the exact store, this is the type of offering you’d expect.
Picture perfect casting
The 2010s witnessed a slew of live-action adaptations of animated films, with varying degrees of success. If there’s ever a remake of Up in the works, this man might just be the perfect candidate for a call.
