Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain
Have you ever confused Bryce Dallas Howard with Jessica Chastain? Don’t worry, you are certainly not alone.
Even Bryce Dallas Howard’s own father, Ron Howard, has mistaken Jessica Chastain for his own daughter. Jessica and Bryce are in on the joke though.
Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice
Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice are beautiful actresses and they have an uncanny resemblance with one another. It’s said that Nina Dobrev is the actress with the most number of doppelgangers in the industry.
We think Nina Dobrev is Victoria Justice’s twin! Now we know they weren’t really separated at birth, but we just can’t get over how much they look alike!

Amber Heard and Scarlett Johansson
Wait...are you telling us Amber Heard and Scarlett aren't twins? Amber and Scarlett certainly share a similar fashion since, but they also share the same eyes, hair, and smile. Heard and Johansson reveal that they have both been mistaken for one another more often than not over the years.
These two both play superheroes, although in different cinematic universes. Johansson has been Black Widow in Marvel’s MCU since 2010 and Heard had a large role in DC’s Aquaman.
Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes
It’s seriously impossible not to do a double take when looking at Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes! The only difference between the two is that Fiennes usually plays the bad guy while Neeson is typically the hero.
Liam Neeson has revealed that he gets confused for Ralph Fiennes often. Neeson has even signed an autograph as the Harry Potter star instead of his real identity!
Natalie Portman and Kiera Knightley
Double take! Both of these young actresses entered the industry around the same time, so you are forgiven if you get these women confused with one another.
Kiera Knightley became famous for her role in “Bend it Like Beckham.” Knightley admits that she gets mistaken for Natalie Portman all the time.
Rachel Bilson and Kaia Gerber
Good luck trying to guess who’s who. Rachel Bilson and Kaia Gerber could easily be sisters. It’s honestly crazy that they aren’t.
Rachel Bilson has starred in shows such as The Hart of Dixie and everyone’s favorite, The OC. Kaia Gerber is following in her mother’s footsteps and working on her modeling and acting career.
Rob Lowe & Ian Somerhalder
Seeing double? Rob Lowe and Ian Somerhalder look like twin brothers despite their 15-year age difference.
Guess it’s safe to say Somerhalder knows exactly how he will look in 15 years. These two studs have striking similarities such as their beautiful blue eyes and dark hair.
Sarah Hyland and Mila Kunis
Sarah Hyland and Mila Kunis know they are each other’s celebrity doppelganger. They get mistaken for one another so often that sometimes they just pretend to be each other.
Kunis is 8 years older than Hyland, and Kunis takes it as a huge compliment because it makes her feel young. If you ever spot one of these two in real life, we recommend doing a double take!
Stephen Colbert and Bob Saget
Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and Bob Saget, our favorite TV dad, look oddly alike. We honestly believe that if Colbert ever got too sick to go to work, Saget could step in for him.
While Stephen Colbert and Bob Saget couldn’t be more different, these celebrities sure do look alike. Even their glasses are similar.
Kiernan Shipka and McKenna Grace
If you have ever wondered if Kiernan Shipka and McKenna Grace are related, you’re not alone. They could honestly pass as sisters! Never heard of McKenna Grace? If you don’t know her name, you should recognize her face.
The 12-year-old actress has starred in many hit movies and shows such as Fuller House, Captain Marvel, and I, Tonya. In 2018, McKenna Grace played young Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka in present day) in Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina holiday special.
Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry
Zooey Deschanel can confuse even the biggest fans of Katy Perry. Katy Perry hasn't rocked her black hair and blunt bangs in years, but when she did these two looked identical!
These two used to get mistaken for one another all the time. But now that Perry has gone shorter and blonder, fans don't confuse them with each other any more.
Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly
Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly have both starred in their own shows and films, such as My Name is Earl and DC’s Suicide Squad. Though they have never shared the same screen it’s hard to ignore their similarities.
Despite the fact that Jaimie is more than a decade older than Margot, their resemblance is uncanny. Jaime and Margot have both made comments that they know they are each other's doppelganger. Who knows, maybe one day they will star in a movie together.
Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester
Luckily there’s no competition between these two celebrity doppelgangers. Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester became best friends back in 2003 when they were filming separate commercials for Clearsil.
As the real-life best friends grew up, they began to get confused for one another by even their biggest fans. We don't think it was a coincidence both of these actresses starred as the most popular girl in school in their teen TV dramas, Friday Night Lights and Gossip Girl.
Dakota Fanning and Amanda Seyfried
It’s not just the blonde hair that makes Dakota Fanning and Amanda Seyfried look alike. Their innocent looking faces and their big, bright blue eyes make these two look like sisters!
These ladies keep their fans and even the paparazzi on their toes, guessing who's who.
Dax Shepard and Zach Braff
Dax Shepard and Zach Braff are very much aware of how much they look alike. One time they even did a face swap, and the results were…um, interesting.
Their faces after the face swap didn’t look all that different. Turns out the men nearly look identical! The only difference we can find is their mouth shapes are slightly different, but that’s really it. Wow!
Jada Pinkett Smith and Zoe Saldana
These two ladies look more like sisters than their own sisters do! These two are, believe it or not, seven years apart in age so they could actually be sisters.
If you don't recognize either lady, you can find Jada Pinkett Smith in old episodes of A Different World or catch her podcast. Zoe Saldana took the world by storm in blockbusters such as Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Chandra Wilson and Alex Newell
As much as these two may look like twins, the characters they play on television couldn't be further apart. While Chandra has been gracing our screens on Grey's Anatomy since 2005, Alex Newell came dancing and singing into our lives via Glee in 2012.
While you can still see Wilson in her role as Bailey, tough surgeon with a bark worse than her bite, you can now catch Newell on Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist—more than likely belting out a sweet and sultry tune.
Ellen Barkin and Cameron Diaz
When Cameron Diaz first made it onto the big screen, it was immediately evident that she resembled another actress from an earlier era. Ellen Barkin and Cameron Diaz favor each other so much that we've even wondered if Barkin could be Diaz's mom!
Now, as both actresses age, their similarities in looks only grows. You may remember Barkin from the film Ocean's 13 and Diaz from the Charlie's Angels film franchise.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem
These two handsome gentlemen resemble each other so much, that the media even gets them mixed up quite often. Jeffrey Dean Morgan did get his revenge, once though!
Back in 2015, when a photographer mistook Morgan for Oscar-winning Bardem, he flipped his middle finger at the photographer and Javier Bardem was blamed for the misbehavior!

Drea de Matteo and Portia de Rossi
We wonder if Ellen sometimes gets these two mixed up, too! These two ladies are not only just one year apart in age, they also have similar last names.
While we first met Drea de Matteo as mafioso Christopher's fiance on the Sopranos, many others may remember Portia de Rossi from her days on the popular 90s sitcom Ally McBeal.
Brad Pitt and Robert Redford
These two actually have a long history together. As a matter of fact, one of the first comments made about the A River Runs Through It breakout star was how much he looked like the director—Robert Redford, himself.
And Brad Pitt is a most humble doppelganger of his 2001 Spy Game co-star. Whenever anyone asks him about how he feels about being compared to Redford in looks, his usual response is "it's flattering, but I don't think about it much."
Dane Cook and Skylar Astin
Comedian and actor, Dane Cook, better watch out! While Cook was extremely popular in the early 2000s in films such as Good Luck Chuck and Waiting there's a new (shinier) kid in town trying to take that spotlight!
Skylar Astin is what we, in Hollywood, like to call a 'triple threat.' He can act, sing, and dance. You can currently catch him in this season's episodes of Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.
Emily Kinney and Evanna Lynch
Sci-fi/Fantasy fans everywhere should recognize these two, but how to tell them apart is the question! The Walking Dead's Emily Kinney and the Harry Potter franchise's Evanna Lynch could definitely be related.
It's hard to know who would win in a fight, though. Do zombie kills trump magic spells?
Will Ferrell and Chad Smith
We all know and recognize Will Ferrell as a household name in this country. However, despite his fame he still gets mistaken often for Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer, Chad Smith.
As a matter of fact, in a stroke of comedic genius, the two finally met each other on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to have an epic 'drum off' in 2015.
Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg
Even though Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg don't think so, we think these two could be brothers! (Not that Marky Mark doesn't have enough of those)
Matt Damon admitted that they get confused for one another a lot of the time. The two have spoken about this problem and have a deal now that should they be confused for one another in the future, they are to be as polite as possible about it!
Kelly Ripa and Sienna Miller
These gorgeous gals have heart-shaped faces, hazel green eyes, and a petite frame that has us trying to decide who’s who. Kelly Ripa is no stranger to us; the talk show diva has been on our daytime screens since the early '80s with her breakout role on All My Children. Mother of three and host of Live with Kelly and Ryan, Kelly’s dynamic style keeps her front and center.
British-born Sienna Miller started out as a model and later moved into acting, landing her first credits in Layer Cake as Daniel Craig’s love interest. Where you may recognize Sienna from is the film Alfie with Susan Sarandon and Jude Law.
Matt Bomer and Henry Cavil
Missouri native Matt Bomer has become a household name thanks to the American Horror series and Magic Mike. What you may not know is that Bomer is also a graduate of All My Children.
What’s magic is the fact that his dark, slicked-back hair and piercing blue eyes mirror the look of Superman himself, Henry Cavill. But don’t be too fooled—only Cavill holds a British passport.
Will Arnett and Patrick Wilson
Patrick Wilson is a two-time Tony Award nominee and also part of the DC Extended Universe; he starred as Ocean Master in the film Aquaman. Wilson has also embraced horror roles in Insidious and The Conjuring.
Comedian Will Arnett hails from Canada, but you’d swear that he and Wilson are brothers. Best known for his voiceover work in animated films and his stand up, Arnett is also a graduate of the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute (and the ex-husband of fellow comedian Amy Poehler).

Emma Watson and Kiernan Shipka
Both Emma Watson and Kiernan Shipka built successful acting careers as children, but they both have deep-set eyes and heart-shaped faces too. You would have to live under a rock not to know who Emma Watson is. Making her debut as Hermoine Granger in the Harry Potter series, Watson parlayed her success into other films such as the live-action Beauty and the Beast and Little Women.
Kiernan Shipka may not be a household name (yet), but you probably met her as young Sally Draper in Mad Men. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix helped her really break out onto the scene. Shipka also starred in Flowers in the Attic and Feud: Bette and Joan.
Lea Michele and Idina Menzel
Lea Michele’s acting chops hail from her career as a child actress on Broadway, appearing in Les Miserables, Ragtime, and Fiddler on the Roof. With her angular jaws and deep-set eyes, Michele picked up the Broadway crazy persona of Rachel Berry on Glee.
Idina Menzel is a Broadway veteran, starting in Rent and cementing her stage presence as Elphaba Throbb in Wicked. Menzel also set the silver screen on fire with her voiceover as Elsa in Frozen. Her resemblance to Michele led the producers of Glee to cast Menzel as Rachel Berry’s birth mom on the show.
Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan
Whether they're rocking bobs or their signature pixie cuts, Michelle Williams and Carey Mulligan are always twinning with their dark brown eyes and round faces. Michelle Williams got her start on the hit series Dawson's Creek before rising to fame in the critically acclaimed drama Brokeback Mountain. She went on to star in Manchester by the Sea and tapped into her inner dancer as Gwen Verdon in the miniseries Fosse/Verdon.
You would swear that Williams is one in the same as London native Carey Mulligan. Mulligan got her start in the Royal Theatre and starred in several British acclaimed roles, such as Pride & Prejudice and Bleak House before being cast in The Great Gatsby.
Nikki Reed and Allison Williams
Actresses Nikki Reed and Allison Williams both have strong, angular faces and dark hair. These ladies mirror one another, played characters named Rose, and even share the same birth year. Nikki Reed rose to fame as the blonde bombshell vampire Rosalie Hale in the Twilight saga. Reed co-wrote and produced the film Thirteen with Catherine Hardwicke. Reed is married to Ian Somerhalder and they share a love of both ASPCA and Heifer International.
Allison Williams got her big break in the HBO comedy series Girls before nabbing the staring role as Rose Armitage in the horror film Get Out. Williams currently holds the role of Kit Snicket in A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski
Another duo that could be mother and daughter, the resemblance between Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski is uncanny. Helen Hunt starred in the NBC hit Mad About You before winning the Academy Award for staring as Carol Connelly opposite Jack Nicholson in As Good As It Gets. Other notable films include Twister, Cast Away, and What Women Want.
Leelee Sobieski started her film career as a teen with roles in Eyes Wide Shut before graduating to Never Been Kissed with Drew Barrymore. Sobieski received Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her portrayal of Joan of Arc in 2005.
Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
A few years his junior, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is very reminiscent of the late Heath Ledger with their thin smiles and dark, deep eyes. They also both share a connection to Batman. Aussie Heath Ledger set Hollywood ablaze with his roles in A Knight’s Tale and Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain before brilliantly portraying The Joker in The Dark Knight. Ledger was posthumously awarded the Oscar, BAFTA, and Golden Globe for the latter role.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt got his start in an NBC show called 3rd Rock from the Sun. Jumping to film, Gordon-Levitt stole the show in 10 Things I Hate About You (which Ledger also starred in), The Walk, and Snowden. He later starred in the role of John Bake in The Dark Knight Rises.
Audrey Hepburn and Lily Collins
Audrey Hepburn and Lily Collins both have the acting chops to back up their beauty. The two actresses also share many of the same petite facial features. Audrey Hepburn is best known for her roles in My Fair Lady, Roman Holiday, and as that society girl Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Hepburn devoted much of her time to UNICEF and became an ambassador for them later in life.
Lily Collins is the daughter of Phil Collins and made her splash first as a columnist for the British magazine Elle Girl. She made a quick cameo on the reality seriesThe Hills before picking up the role as Collins Tuohy in The Blind Side. She currently stars in Netflix's hit, Emily in Paris.
Maren Morris and Khloe Kardashian
Country music star Maren Morris sported the same look at Khloe Kardashian in 2021 when she hit the red carpet sporting blonde hair, dark roots, and dark eye makeup. Texas-born Morris broke through the charts with her albums “Walk On” and “All That it Takes” (both lyrics from a song written by U2 called “Walk On”). Morris is also a member of the Highwomen, featuring Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires, and Natalie Hemby.
Khloe Kardashian is the younger sister of Kim and Kourtney and was formerly married to basketball star Lamar Odom. Her father, of course, garnered worldwide fame for defending O.J. Simpson at his 1994 murder trial. Although she's been platinum blonde for several years, she's been headed back toward her dark Kardashian roots lately.
Kacey Musgraves and Kyle Richards
Kacey Musgraves burst onto the country music scene in 2013 with “Same Trailer Different Park” and won a Grammy for Best Country Album. Since then, Musgraves has released three more albums and headlined world tours.
Kyle Richards started out as a child actress, appearing on Little House on the Prairie before jumping to the big screen with a big scream in Halloween. Half-sister to Kathy Hilton and married to Mauricio Umansky, Richards spends her time in Beverly Hills as a Bravo Real Housewife (RHOBH).
Kathryn Hahn and Ana Gasteyer
These lovely ladies don’t just share looks; they also share the spotlight with co-star Will Ferrell. Ana Gasteyer tickled our funny bones as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1996 to 2002. Her portrayal of high school music teacher Bobbi Mohan-Culp (alongside Will Ferrell) and her dead-on impressions of Martha Stewart and Celine Dion skyrocketed her to fame. Gasteyer went on to star in several Broadway productions as well as TV and movies. (The younger generations may know her as the mom in Mean Girls!)
Kathryn Hahn is no newcomer to Hollywood, cutting her comedic chops with Will Farrell in Stepbrothers and Anchorman before turning serious in Revolutionary Road with Kate Winslet and Leo DiCaprio. Kathryn set 2021 on fire in WandaVision with her portrayal of nosy neighbor Agnes, later revealed to be part of the MCU as Agatha Harkness.
Emma Stone and Kathryn Dennis
These fiery redheads and their facial similarities will have you seeing double. Emma Stone started her career as a child actor before making her film debut in Superbad. She went on to steal the show in Crazy, Stupid, Love, The Help, and The Amazing Spiderman 2 before nabbing the Oscar as Mia Dolan in La La Land.
Kathryn Dennis is a socialite and co-star on Bravo’s Southern Charm, a reality show about residents of Charleston, South Carolina. Dennis became entangled with costar Thomas Ravenel, with whom she shares two children. An embattled personality, Dennis is often the target of trouble on the show.
Nicholas Hoult and Ed Skrein
You’ll have to do a doubletake to figure out which handsome star is which. Berkshire-native Nicholas Hoult's breakthrough role came with Hugh Grant in the critically acclaimed film About a Boy. From there, Hoult jumped into big budget films like Clash of the Titans, Mad Max: Fury Road, and X-Men: Days of Future Past.
You’ll recognize Ed Skrein for his role as Daario Naharis in Game of Thrones, followed by his supervillain Ajax in Deadpool. His latest staring role was as Lt. Dick Best in 2019’s Midway.
