Have you ever noticed how similar some celebrities look? I mean, some of them could be twins. No, it’s not your fault for mistaking Isla Fisher and Amy Adams or Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon. They definitely look like mirror images of each other. In this list, we’ll examine some of the most uncanny resemblances out there as we take a look at 10 actors who totally look alike.
Dax Shepard and Zach Braff
Pause, they’re not the same person? There is resemblance, and then there is complete and utter replication. Dax Shepard and Zach Braff fall into the latter. Braff has even said in interviews that an app on his phone once confused him for Shepard.
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard
Jessica Chastain, who appeared in films like The Tree of Life and Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, often gets mistaken for Bryce Dallas Howard (the daughter of Ron Howard), who is known for her acting in Jurassic World and M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village and for her directorial work in shows like The Mandalorian. Howard even took to social media several times to discuss their similarities and differences. It’s definitely the hair, though.
Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz
According to some fans, these two actress look the same. Personally, I don’t see it. But there are tons of people who often mistake the two for each other. Cruz is a Spanish actress known for her roles in films like Vanilla Sky and Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Hayek is Mexican-American and is remembered for Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado and Frida.
Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon
Okay, so this one I get. It’s easy to see how the two actors could be mistaken for each other. It’s that Boston charm, I tell you. During the Transformers’ heyday, Damon said that he got confused with Wahlberg nearly every day. It got so bad that he ended up signing autographs as Wahlberg.
Isla Fisher and Amy Adams
Honestly, if somebody didn’t tell me these two were different people, I’d never know. The similarity between Fisher and Adams is so strong that Fisher reportedly changed her face for Adams for a Christmas card, and not one of her family members noticed. Now that is a lookalike.
Jason Bateman and Jerry O’Connell
In another case of “actors who could totally pass as brothers,” Jason Bateman and Jerry O’Connell are dead ringers for each other. Honestly, their eyebrows, skin tone, and even their hairline look incredibly similar.
Alan Cumming and Paul Reubens
Again, I had no idea that these were two totally different actors. They really look a lot alike. You might remember Paul Reubens from his Pee-Wee Herman character. Alan Cumming, on the other hand, might be better remembered for his drama roles and the TV show, The Good Wife.
Gerard Butler and Clive Owen
This one is just ridiculous. I don’t think Gerard Butler and Clive Owen look anything alike. But many people do. They have similar raspy voices, that I’ll admit. However, Butler is Scottish, while Owen is English. However, back when Clive Owen was younger, audiences everywhere used to think that he was the star of Zack Snyder’s epic 300 movie.
Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel
Okay, even Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel think they look alike. With the same eyes and hair colour, it’s almost impossible to tell each other apart.
Jesse Eisenberg and Andy Samberg and Michael Cera
Yes, we’ve all seen the memes. We’ve all had a good laugh. And honestly, it’s true. They do all look alike. And somehow behave alike too. The curly hair and the pronounced noses look extremely similar in all three actors, especially when Eisenberg and Samberg were younger. Michael Cera has said that he also gets confused with another curly-haired actor, Jon Heder, who you might remember as Napoleon Dynamite.
