Surprisingly, some celebrities actually have another famous person who looks almost exactly like them. Here’s a list of celebrity pairs who are so similar that it’s hard to tell them apart!



  1. 1 Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel


    When Katy Perry became a famous pop star with her second album in 2008, people quickly started comparing her to Zooey Deschanel, who was already a famous actress at that time.


    The actress from "New Girl," Zooey Deschanel, wasn't very pleased with the comparisons. She said, "It's a bit irritating, to be honest."

She was glad that Katy was now famous enough that people weren't confusing them anymore.

I've been a twin since the day I was born. We're not identical, but we look very similar, so I've always been mistaken for someone else my whole life."



  4. 4 Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly


    Some famous pairs of celebrities look very much alike, and it's tough to tell them apart. The actress from "I, Tonya" and the actor from "My Name Is Earl" seem like they could be sisters, even though there's a 13-year age gap between them, with Pressly being the older one.


    "We do look very similar," Pressly said when she first met Robbie. "When she was in the movie 'I, Tonya,' I went to the premiere... and everyone was talking about how we look like each other, so I was excited to meet her and said, 'If I look like you, I'm okay with that.'"

  5. 5 Lake Bell and Amanda Peet


    Bell talked to TheA.V. Club and mentioned that people often confuse her with Peet, whom she described as "very attractive."

    "I think it's a big compliment; she's really attractive and talented, and she became famous before me. She had light eyes, brown hair, and those distinctive features first."

  6. 6 Zoe Saldana and Thandie Newton


    Many people mix up "The Avengers" and "Westworld," and it's not just fans who get them confused. On the Late Late Show with James Corden, Salanda joked, "My mom still thinks that I’m in Westworld. Years ago, she thought that I was in Traffic. 'Mom, you did not give birth to Thandie Newton.'"


    "I met Thandie at the Golden Globes a few years ago," the Avatar star shared. "I hugged her and sort of surprised her because I didn't explain why I was getting close. I asked, 'Do people ever mix us up?' And she responded, 'Who are you?'"




  7. 7 Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan


    The actor from "The Walking Dead" is frequently confused with the Spanish actor who won an Oscar, Javier Bardem. He once used their striking similarity to play a trick on Bardem:

  8. 8 Victoria Pedretti and Hilary Duff


    When the second season of the TV show "You" came out, fans on Twitter noticed that the main actress, Victoria Pedretti, looked a lot like Hilary Duff, who stars in "Younger."

    A fan also pointed out that in the past,Hilary Duff and Penn Badgley, who plays the (crazy) boyfriend in "You," had a romantic storyline together on the show "Gossip Girl."


  9. 9 Karen Khachanov and Liam Hemsworth

  11. 11 Lucy Hale and Selena Gomez


    With their similar wavy brown hair and heart-shaped faces, the star of The Bold Type and the pop singer could easily be mistaken for sisters. Hale even mentioned that people often confuse her for Gomez.

    "Normally, I would correct people when they mistake me for Selena," Hale shared with Insider. "But once, there was this older lady at the airport who asked for a picture with me. I thought she mistook me for Lucy [Hale]. After taking the photo, she began talking about my projects, and I realized she actually thought I was Selena [Gomez]. I decided to go along with it because I didn't want to disappoint her," she added.

  12. 12 Will Arnett and Patrick Wilson


    Even though Will Arnett, known for his funny roles in Arrested Development, and Patrick Wilson, who began his career in Broadway musicals before starring in The Conjuring, have different backgrounds, they have similar faces and hairstyles that make them look like they could be related.



    Even Stephen Colbert, the host of The Late Show, couldn't help but make a joke about how much Patrick Wilson and Will Arnett look alike. He posted a picture of them side by side and asked if anyone had ever seen them together in the same room, implying they might be the same person.

  15. 15 Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester


    The actors from "Friday Night Lights" and "Gossip Girl" are actually best friends in real life, and people often mix them up because they look so similar.

  16. 16 Carrie Underwood and Emily Osment


    Singer Carrie Underwood and actress Emily Osment not only look very much alike, but they also have the same birthday, March 10th. However, Underwood is nine years older, at 37 years old.

    Even though there's an age gap between them, if someone said they were born on the same day and were actually twins, we'd completely believe it because they look so much alike.



  17. 17 Zach Braff and Dax Shepard


    Actors Zach Braff and Dax Shepard are well-known in Hollywood for looking almost identical, and they themselves acknowledge that they do resemble each other.

    When Zach Braff, the star of Scrubs, shared a "face swap" photo of himself and Dax Shepard on Twitter, which was taken by Shepard's wife, actress Kristen Bell, it quickly became very popular on the internet.

  18. 18 Selma Blair and Kris Jenner


    Actress Selma Blair and reality TV mom Kris Jenner look alike. When Blair played Jenner in a TV show called The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, she acted so well that she seemed just like Jenner.

    Even though they are 10 years apart in age, Jovovich and Evangelista resemble each other a lot. They both look like very beautiful sisters.

  24. 24 Kiernan Shipka and Mckenna Grace


    Shipka and Grace really look alike, to the point that Grace was picked to play Shipka's younger sister in one episode of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina.


    Since Grace is only 14 years old, she might become even more similar in appearance to Shipka as she gets older. As fans who love finding look-alikes, we can only hope for that to happen.

  25. 25 Jon Hamm and Fabio


    Okay, this might sound a bit funny, but once you notice how much actor Jon Hamm looks like the famous Italian model Fabio, you won't be able to forget it.

    To be clear, the star from Mad Men, Jon Hamm, looks exactly like Fabio, but he doesn't have long hair. They both have the same good-looking faces and even have similar half-smiles.


  26. 26 Jennifer Connelly and Lily Collins


    These two lovely actresses look so much alike that they were picked to play a mother and daughter in the movie "Stuck in Love" in 2011.

  28. 28 Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer


    These two beautiful people have the same strong jawline and striking blue eyes.

  29. 29 Mila Kunis and Sarah Hyland


    These two brown-haired actresses resemble each other so much that Hyland even mentioned to InStyle Magazine that they've agreed it's okay for them to pretend to be each other.

    "Mila said that sometimes she acts like me because it makes her feel younger" (Kunis is 8 years older). "I asked if I could do the same and pretend to be her the next time someone mistakes me for her, and she said yes."

  30. 30 Kris Humphries and Taylor Lautner


    Do you have any evidence that shows Kris Humphries and Taylor Lautner are not the same person? We're curious to see it.


    Even though they have different jobs, Lautner is an actor, and Humphries is an athlete, they both became well-known at a similar time. Lautner became famous through the Twilight movies, and Humphries became known because he was briefly married to reality TV star Kim Kardashian.

  31. 31 Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain


    These two red-haired actresses look so much alike that even Ron Howard, who is an Academy Award-winning director and Howard's father, once confused Jessica Chastain for his own daughter, Bryce Dallas Howard.

    Bryce Dallas Howard said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, "It's true. It's true. And he was really surprised. At first, he said, 'You two really look so much alike.' I mean, of course, I'm very pleased, so it's wonderful."


  32. 32 Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg


    Michael Cera, known for roles in "Arrested Development" and "Juno," often gets mistaken for another curly-haired actor, Jesse Eisenberg from "The Social Network." It happens quite a lot, and it's not surprising.

  33. 33 America Ferrera and Gina Rodriguez


    These two wonderful actresses look so similar that even the official Twitter account of the Golden Globes Awards once made a big mistake and mixed them up (and later said sorry).


    Both actresses have also been the main stars of two successful TV shows that were inspired by telenovelas: Rodriguez in "Jane the Virgin" and Ferrera in "Ugly Betty."

  34. 34 Zachary Quinto and Eli Roth


    Zachary Quinto from "American Horror Story" and Eli Roth from "Inglorious Basterds" look so similar that it's easy to mix them up.

  35. 35 Wes Bentley and Cheyenne Jackson


    The two good-looking actors with strong jawlines are frequently compared to each other. In 2015, they even worked together on "American Horror Story: Hotel."

    According to the actors, the people working on set often got them mixed up because they looked so much alike, just like many of us do.

  36. 36 Amy Adams and Isla Fisher


    Fisher and Adams, both red-haired actresses, look so much alike that people often mix them up. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Fisher made a funny PSA to remind viewers that she is not Amy Adams.


    She jokingly said, "We have completely different names, so we're definitely not the same person."

  37. 37 Jennifer Love Hewitt and Lacey Chabert


    Both actresses appeared together on the '90s cult classic show "Party of Five." However, at that time, Chabert was a child, so the similarities between them weren't as noticeable.

    As time passed, their similarities became more and more obvious. In 2006, Chabert had a guest role on Hewitt's show, "The Ghost Whisperer," and viewers couldn't help but notice how much they looked alike.


  38. 38 Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley


    Portman and Knightley started their acting careers as kids in the 1990s. In 1999, Knightley got a small part in "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" because she looked so much like the lead actress, Portman.

    "I've been mistaken for Natalie Portman," Keira Knightley admitted during an interview on The Late Late Show. "I mean, I get confused with Natalie Portman quite a bit."

  39. 39 Ian Somerhalder and Rob Lowe


    These two actors look so much alike that it's quite surprising, and they seem to be aware of it. When Ian Somerhalder appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show, he shared a funny story about meeting Rob Lowe at a Golden Globes party:


    "He walked up to my wife," Ian Somerhalder said, "She had never met him before. He held her face and said, 'This is what you're going to be looking at in 15 years'." And we have to agree, that's not a bad face to look at!

  40. 40 Kristen Stewart and Teresa Palmer


    Australian actress Teresa Palmer started her Hollywood career with "The Grudge 2" in 2006, and fans quickly noticed that she looked a lot like the star of "Twilight."

    "I've been mistaken for her on the street," Teresa Palmer said to MTV, "and I've just gone ahead and signed her name. I thought, 'You know what, whatever, I'll just sign her name,' because the person was so excited and I decided to just play along with it."


  41. 41 Skylar Astin and Dane Cook


    Whether you see them in black and white or color, comedian Dane Cook and "Pitch Perfect" star Skylar Astin look almost identical.

    A few years ago, Skylar Astin posted a picture of himself and Dane Cook on his Twitter account. He jokingly captioned it, "We don't see it," suggesting that they don't think they look alike, even though they do.

  42. 42 Drea de Matteo and Portia de Rossi


    How much do these two resemble each other? They have blonde hair, heart-shaped faces, big smiles, and they really seem like they could be sisters who got separated. Plus, their last names are similar too!


    In recent times, de Rossi has a short pixie haircut, so she doesn't look exactly like de Mateo anymore, but they still have very similar facial features.

  43. 43 John Mulaney and Grant Gustin


    SNL comedian John Mulaney is frequently confused with Grant Gustin, the actor who plays The Flash. It's easy to see why, as they both have youthful and handsome appearances.

    On Late Night with Seth Meyers, John Mulaney talked about how he often gets mixed up with Grant Gustin. He mentioned that when he complained to his wife about it, she jokingly told him to be grateful because he's being compared to a good-looking 28-year-old actor (while Mulaney is 10 years older).


  44. 44 Joel McHale and Ryan Seacrest


    These former E! Channel stars are one of the most famous look-alike pairs on TV, and they often make jokes about it themselves.

    Even McHale's own son notices how much they look alike. McHale shared, "When my son would see Ryan Seacrest on TV, my wife would ask, 'Hey Eddie, who's on the TV right now?' And he'd say, 'Daddy.' Ryan is a good-looking guy, so I take it as a nice compliment. Even though Ryan is shorter, around 4'11", I still appreciate it."
