Celebrities Who Look So Much Alike, It's Shocking

These celebrity doppelgängers look so similar, we’re not convinced that they’re not secretly related!

Most celebrities become famous for having some kind of unique “star” quality that helps them stand out in a crowd — but it turns out not all of them are truly one-of-a-kind. It’s not to take away from their talent or anything, but sometimes we seriously can’t tell certain famous people apart.

Don’t believe us? We found more than 65 celebrities who have true Hollywood lookalikes. It’s not just in the hair and makeup — some of these people are such doppelgängers, that we might not be able to tell them apart if we saw them on the street. And we’re not the only ones who are aware of the serious twin status. One pair of celebrity lookalikes even posted a photo of themselves to Instagram with the caption, “Who’s who” — and the cute dancing twins emoji!

Another famous leading lady even used her doppelgänger on her holiday card to fool her family — a prank we can get behind, and also totally understandable, considering how much they resemble each other.

There’s something so satisfying about celebrity lookalikes, and some of them are particularly wild — you won’t believe who America Ferrera looks like!

Check out these pairs of celebrity lookalikes below!

Honestly, we didn’t know how similar Kelsea Ballerini and Reese Witherspoon were until this picture of them side by side. Now, we can’t unsee it!

“We met several years ago at the Christmas tree lighting at the White House,” Ballerini told People. “We were backstage, and I just said, ‘You know, people say I look like you, and I’m obsessed with you.’ ”

Since then, these blonde beauties have truly connected. “[Our] paths have crossed so much, and we’ve become really lovely friends,” she said.
Matt Damon & Jesse Plemons

Matt Damon and Jesse Plemons are by no means identical, but their similar facial features might have some people taking a double-take.

“I’m flattered by the comparison,” Plemons once told Jimmy Kimmel. “I would be curious to hear [Damon’s] thoughts if he’s annoyed.”

As turns out, Damon’s not only not annoyed, but he sees the similarity too. “Sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely,” Damon told Access Hollywood.

Damon then went on to detail that Plemons once played his younger version in the 2000 movie, All the Pretty Horses. “I couldn’t believe it. He looked more like me than I did when I was little,” Damon remembered. “Like my little 11-year-old face did not look like it [was going to become me]. He looked exactly like me. I was like, ‘This is really weird.'”

“Sometimes I see a bus going by with a poster, and I think, ‘Damn, I look hot — oh wait. It’s not me,’” she joked. “Also, I never did that movie. Like, I’ve been at home.”

Luckily, Reynolds played along with it. “It is like looking in a mirror,” Reynolds told the Today Show.

“We were gonna do this whole joke about us looking similar,” Robbie revealed, “[but] once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, ‘We don’t look that similar.’ When she’s got her brown hair, and I’ve got my blonde hair, so we didn’t put that joke in the movie.

In 2020, the two even played it into their similarities by starring in Perry’s music video for “Not the End of the World.”

“I have to admit something, Zooey,” Perry told Deschanel in a Live video after the music video release, per Billboard. “When I came to L.A., I was pretty much a nobody, and you were just getting so huge at that time — it was like Zooey Deschanel ran the world. In that moment, I was so complimented to look like you.”

“But I have to admit something to you on a Live: that when I first got to L.A., I went to the club a lot. And I wanted to get into the club and I had no money, I had no clout, I had nothing, and sometimes I would pose as you to get into the club,” she said.

But Fisher’s joke took a turn when her loved ones didn’t even spot the switch-up. “No one noticed,” she admitted. “Everyone was like, ‘Oh, your card was so cute.’ I was like, ‘It was a joke. It’s not me, it’s Amy!’”
