Brad Pitt and Union General Isaac Stevens
Pitt’s Net Worth: $300 Million Pitt’s Occupation: Actor Stevens’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $78,000 Stevens’ Occupation: Army Officer/Politician
While you may think Brad Pitt’s rugged good looks are one-of-a-kind, the actor has a doppelgänger just like everyone else on this list. The Oscar winner seems to share his good looks with the first governor of the Territory of Washington and delegate to the United States House of Representatives, Isaac Stevens. He shares Pitt’s dreamy eyes, prominent eyebrows, luscious hair, and the love of facial hair.
Unfortunately, there’s no way that their similarities prove time travel. The Civil War veteran actually only stood at just over 5 feet tall and was considered a dwarf at the time. This is a bit taller than the actor, who stands at 5 feet 10 inches. At least there’s hope for future generations to appreciate their very own Brad Pitt doppelgänger!
Keanu Reeves and French Actor Paul Mounet
Reeves's Net Worth: $360 Million Reeves’ Occupation: Actor Mounet’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Mounet’s Occupation: Doctor/Actor
John Wick actor Keanu Reeves is well-known for his ageless appearance, sparking numerous conspiracy theories labeling him a time traveler. There’s even a website dedicated to the rumors, KeanuIsImmortal.com. Perhaps the actor’s time-traveling abilities helped him earn the role of Ted in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, kickstarting his career in Hollywood.
One of Reeves’ known doppelgängers is the French actor Paul Mounet. Prior to becoming an actor, Mounet studied to become a medical doctor and didn’t make his debut on stage until 1880 at the age of 33. He even played Hamlet in Shakespeare’s play of the same name, which, ironically, Reeves also portrayed in 1995 at the Manitoba Theatre Centre in Winnipeg. It’s up to you to decide if this is all just a coincidence or proof of time travel!
Sylvester Stallone and Character in 1511 Painting by Raphael, “The Cardinal and Theological Virtues”
Stallone’s Net Worth: $400 Million Stallone’s Occupation: Actor/Director Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): N/A Doppelgänger’s Occupation: N/A
Sylvester Stallone has given those traveling abroad a new reason to tour the Vatican. When you think of Stallone, likely some of his action-packed films like Rocky and Rambo come to mind. However, that’s going to change now that you’ve gotten a glimpse of him next to a photo of his doppelgänger. The mysterious look-alive is the subject of a painting dating back to 1511 by Raphael called “The Cardinal and Theological Virtues.”
Found in one of the Raphael Rooms at the Vatican, the fresco painting depicts Pope Gregory IX approving the Vatical Decretals. Stallone’s doppelgänger is an onlooker in the background of the painting and was first discovered by a 20-year-old Harvard student while on vacation with his family. After he uploaded a photo of the subject next to Stallone to Reddit, the time travel conspiracies started rolling in!
Jason Segel and Lee J. Cobb
Segal’s Net Worth: $40 Million Segal’s Occupation: Actor Cobb’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $6 Million Cobb’s Occupation: Actor
Actor Jason Segel may look like his doppelgänger, but the two appeared in films of opposite genres during their careers. Segal is best known for playing Marshal on How I Met Your Mother, but he has had a number of comedic roles in movies as well. From Forgetting Sarah Marshall with Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis to I Love You, Man alongside Paul Rudd, his career has been all about getting laughs.
Cobb got his start acting on Broadway. He played Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman before he took on the big screen. Several of the films Cobb appeared in are still renowned today, including 12 Angry Men, On The Waterfront, and The Exorcist. His presence in Hollywood spanned almost twenty years, starting in the mid-’50s.
Matthew Perry and John C. Breckinridge
Perry’s Net Worth: $120 Million Perry’s Occupation: Actor Breckinridge’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Breckinridge’s Occupation: Vice President
If you haven’t been convinced that time travel exists up to this point, then seeing this former Vice President’s photo beside the infamous Chandler Bing just might persuade you. Actor Matthew Perry may be best known for his role in Friends, but he has a doppelgänger in high places.
Perry’s look-alike may not have had his sense of humor, but he probably could have gotten him out of legal trouble. John C. Breckinridge was the 14th American Vice President, as well as the youngest man to hold the position. He was in office from 1857 to 1861 under President James Buchanan.
Peter Dinklage and Court Jester Sebastian de Morra
Dinklage’s Net Worth: $25 Million Dinklage’s Occupation: Actor De Morra's Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown De Morra's Occupation: Court Jester
Award-winning actor Peter Dinklage is best known for his role as Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones. He plays a dwarf living in a universe where his appearance is the subject of ridicule and prevents him from holding the most respectable titles, much like in our own world. It’s no coincidence that Dinklage’s doppelgänger was also subjected to much of the same discrimination.
Sebastian de Morra lived during a time when dwarves were enslaved by courts and often forced to entertain the people of the household. Created in 1644, this painting is thought to depict De Morra during his time as a jester for the court of Philip IV of Spain. There have been some disputes over the true identity of the man in the painting, but there’s certainly no doubt that he shares quite a few facial features with Dinklage.
Queen Latifah and Zora Neale Hurston
Latifah’s Net Worth: $60 Million Latifah’s Occupation: Musician/Actor Hurston’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $42 Million Hurston’s Occupation: Anthropologist/Writer
It may be hard to believe that an anthropologist and a rapper have much in common, but these two icons have similarities that exceed their appearance. Queen Latifah is best known for her roles in films such as The Last Holiday and Hairspray, but before all of that, she was a young hip-hop artist. The subject of most of her music focused on issues faced by black women, such as domestic violence and sexual harassment.
Her doppelgänger worked to inform the public about racial struggles as well. Zora Neale Hurston was an anthropologist in the early 1900s who went on to write books, short stories, and films on African-American struggles as well as her own struggles as a black woman. She died in 1960, just ten years before Queen Latifah was born. It may not prove that time travel exists, but it sure does offer some potential evidence of reincarnation!
Zach Galifianakis and Louis Vuitton
Galifianakis’ Net Worth: $30 Million Galifianakis’ Occupation: Comedian/Actor Vuitton’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Vuitton’s Occupation: Founder of Louis Vuitton
While most people wouldn’t consider actor and comedian Zach Galifinakis much of a fashion icon, his doppelgänger sure was! Louis Vuitton is one of the biggest names in fashion to this day. Who would have thought a company started by a young box-maker would become the multi-billion dollar luxury brand it is today?
Galifinakis may be best known for acting in comedies like The Hangover and The Lego Batman Movie, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t take on a more serious role in the future. One thing is for sure, if a biopic was ever made on Louis Vuitton, he’d be the perfect actor for the role!
Jack Black and Paul Revere
Black’s Net Worth: $30 Million Black’s Occupation: Actor/Musician Revere’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Revere’s Occupation: Silversmith/Colonial Militia Officer
From the raised eyebrow to the hand gesture, actor Jack Black and colonial militia officer Paul Revere are practically twins. The fact that they were born two centuries apart only encourages belief in time travel. While Revere wasn’t exactly known for his sense of humor, he did come up with a unique alarm system that was used to warn the watchmen when the British were invading.
Unlike his doppelgänger, Black’s contribution to the world has been far less political so far. He is best known for appearing on the big screen in movies such as The Holiday, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, and School of Rock. Black also plays in a comedic rock band called Tenacious D with his bandmate and fellow actor, Kyle Gass.
Brad Pitt and Swiss Psychiatrist Herman Rorschach
Pitt’s Net Worth: $300 Million Pitt’s Occupation: Actor Rorschach’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Rorschach’s Occupation: Psychiatrist
There aren’t many roles Brad Pitt hasn’t played throughout his career, but it’s safe to say none of them resemble Swiss Psychiatrist Hermann Rorschach. Aside from their dashing good looks, Pitt and Rorschach have very little in common. Rorschach is recognized worldwide for his work in psychiatry, specifically the creation of inkblot testing in order to diagnose personality disorders.
Pitt, on the other hand, will likely always be remembered as the man stupid enough to cheat on Jennifer Aniston. In addition to his affair, Pitt is best known for his award-winning roles in films like Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Moneyball, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. While his doppelgänger was never on the big screen, he definitely could have shared Pitt’s title as the sexiest man alive!
Jennifer Lawrence and Egyptian Actress Zubaida Tharwat
Lawrence’s Net Worth: $130 Million Lawrence’s Occupation: Actor Tharwat’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $4 Million Tharwat’s Occupation: Actor
Known for having "the most beautiful eyes in classic Egyptian cinema,” Zubaida Tharwat appeared on the big screen overseas for 25 years starting in the mid-’50s. Earning herself the nickname “Magic Eyes,” it’s impossible to claim the actress wasn’t beautiful. When you look at photos of a young Tharwat, it’s hard not to see the similarities between her and American actress Jennifer Lawrence.
These classic beauties could be twins if they were born in the same decade! Since Tharwat lived until 2016 and their lives overlapped, however, it’s difficult to link their eerily similar appearance to time travel. We’ll just have to settle for Tharwat being The Hunger Games actress’ doppelgänger.
Eminem and Canadian Professor Harold Innis
Eminem’s Net Worth: $230 Million Eminem’s Occupation: Musician Innis’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Innis’ Occupation: Professor
Award-winning hip-hop artist Eminem just loves to shock the world. Between his controversial lyrics and countless celebrity feuds, he’s often making headlines in the media. The rapper’s reputation couldn’t be further than his doppelgänger’s. In fact, aside from a slight resemblance when they were young, the two couldn’t be more opposite.
Harold Innis was a Canadian professor at the University of Toronto. He taught political economy and rose to fame when he developed the staples thesis which is a theory that continues to be a fundamental part of the country’s political economy culture to this day. While this one might not make you believe in time travel, you have to admit this photo made you do a double-take!
Tommy Lee Jones and Andrew Johnson
Jones’ Net Worth: $85 Million Jones’ Occupation: Actor Johnson’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Less than $1 Million Johnson’s Occupation: US President
Former President Andrew Johnson’s career was full of firsts. He took over the White House after the first presidential assassination of Abraham Lincoln, making Johnson the 17th President of the United States. He also became the first president to ever be impeached after his failure to protect former slaves after the Civil War, which pissed off Republicans. How times have changed, huh?
Few people know that Johnson’s doppelgänger, actor Tommy Lee Johns, has a few connections to politics as well. Aside from portraying essential characters in movies like Lincoln, JFK, and Men in Black, Al Gore was actually his college roommate at Harvard College. He even gave a nominating speech at the Democratic National Convention for the future Vice President in 2000 when he ran for president. Perhaps after Gore lost, he and his former roomie decided to take a trip back in time to mess with our country’s history a bit!
Alec Baldwin and Millard Fillmore
Baldwin’s Net Worth: $65 Million Baldwin’s Occupation: Actor Fillmore’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $4 Million Fillmore’s Occupation: US President
Tommy Lee Jones is not the only celebrity who resembles a former president. Actor Alec Baldwin has a striking resemblance to the 13th president, Millard Fillmore. If you don't know him you aren’t alone. Fillmore is a lesser-known former White House occupant as he took over the position of President Zachary Taylor after he died suddenly.
As far as doppelgängers go, Baldwin and Fillmore only have a slight resemblance. The 30 Rock star may not have traveled back in time to earn a position in the Oval Office, but he certainly loves to portray President Donald Trump in what appears to be a very similar room. Baldwin’s impression of the 45th president has dominated his career in recent years, and in a strange way links him to his lookalike.
Mark Zuckerberg and King Philip IV of Spain
Zuckerberg’s Net Worth: $65 Billion Zuckerberg’s Occupation: Founder of Facebook Philip’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $20 Million Philip’s Occupation: King of Spain
Baby-faced Mark Zuckerberg’s idea for a social networking website made him one of the wealthiest people on the planet, but there’s notoriety like that of someone born into royalty. Zuckerberg and a young King Philip IV of Spain may look a lot alike, but they’re from entirely different worlds.
The Facebook mogul’s doppelgänger led Spain through the Thirty Years’ War and at the time of his death ruled over 4.7 million square miles. That’s a feat even a Harvard dropout turned billionaire would have trouble taking on. Zuckerberg may have his own sort-of internet empire but Facebook’s headquarters certainly can’t compete with the Buen Retiro palace!
Jodie Foster and Elvis’ Mom, Gladys Presley
Foster’s Net Worth: $100 Million Foster’s Occupation: Actor/Director Presley’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $100,000 Presley’s Occupation: Seamstress
In the case of actress Jodie Foster’s doppelgänger, it’s safe to say that her likeness to Elvis’ mother is seen in just this one photo. Otherwise, the two really don’t look anything alike. However, Gladys Presley did find herself thrown into the entertainment industry after her son gained fame. She even appeared in several of his films and music video productions.
Foster, on the other hand, has been in the industry since she was a toddler, starring in classic movies such as Taxi Driver and Silence of the Lambs. Her life was far different from Presely’s who started a family during the height of the Great Depression. Working as a seamstress for a measly $2 a day while her husband took on odd jobs left the family in great financial distress until Elvis’ career took off.
Justin Timberlake and a Victorian-Era English Coal Miner
Timberlake’s Net Worth: $250 Million Timberlake’s Occupation: Singer/Actor Burns’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Burns’ Occupation: Miner
Anyone who can say they look like former boy-bander Justin Timberlake has got it going on! His classic good looks have been causing women to swoon for years, and he only seems to get better looking with age. Timberlake’s doppelgänger from victorian-era Liverpool certainly had one thing going for him, assuming what we find attractive hasn’t changed much since the 1870s.
One thing Burns didn’t have going for him, however, was his luck. Believe it or not, this photo of the miner wasn’t taken under the best pretenses and is actually his mugshot. At just 19 years old, he was arrested and convicted to three months behind bars for “false pretenses.” What was likely a rough time in his life, however, has earned him recognition long after his death and allowed his name to live on!
Orlando Bloom and Painter Nicolae Grigorescu
Bloom’s Net Worth: $40 Million Bloom’s Occupation: Actor Grigorescu’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Grigorescu’s Occupation: Painter
From their luscious brown hair to their chiseled jawlines, both Orlando Bloom and his doppelgänger were blessed with naturally good looks. The Pirates of the Caribbean actor has been known as a heartthrob since his career took off after playing Legolas in The Lord of the Rings franchise. While he tried his hand at some abstract art, Bloom has yet to dominate the art world as his doppelgänger has.
Romanian artist Nicolae Grigorescu not only shares Bloom’s rugged handsomeness but he is considered one of the founders of modern Romanian painting. Born in 1838, much of his early work consisted of painting church interiors. He later went on to paint portraits and was even hired to accompany the Romanian Army as a "frontline painter" during war times, as they often did before photography techniques improved.
Bruce Willis and US Army General Douglas MacArthur
Willis’ Net Worth: $250 Million Willis’ Occupation: Actor MacArthur’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $71 Million MacArthur’s Occupation: US Army General
Actor Bruce Willis may not have been in the military himself, but he has certainly depicted a few over the years on the big screen. Perhaps inspired by his father’s career in the US Army, he’s had military roles in movies such as Air Strike, and Hart’s War. Willis may be known for his action-packed films, but his doppelgänger got to experience what war was like firsthand.
US Army General Douglas MacArthur led Americans in World War II, earning himself a Medal of Honor along with a dozen other awards throughout his career. Several actors have portrayed MacArthur over the years including Tommy Lee Jones and Liam Neeson, however, Willis hasn’t yet had the opportunity to do so himself despite their similar appearance.
Nicolas Cage and Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico
Cage’s Net Worth: $25 Million Cage’s Occupation: Actor Maximilian’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Maximilian’s Occupation: Emperor
Legendary actor Nicolas Cage is either a time traveler or related to a former Emperor in Mexico. His doppelgänger, Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph who later became Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, shares the actor’s sunken eyes and long nose, making them appear eerily alike. The discovery was made on Reddit by a student who came across a picture of the emperor while diligently doing their homework.
While Cage isn’t Mexican, neither was Maximilian, so it’s very possible the two share a bloodline. Maximilian was actually Austrian and became the ruler of Mexico when Napoleon III offered him the title. This turned out to be a poor decision, as Mexicans rebelled against the foreign leader and he was eventually executed.
Ellen DeGeneres and Henry David Thoreau
DeGeneres’ Net Worth: $490 Million DeGeneres’ Occupation: Comedian/Host Thoreau’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $73 Million Thoreau’s Occupation: Writer
As insulting as it may seem to be known for looking like someone of the opposite sex, it’s likely that Ellen DeGeneres has laughed about this comparison in the past. The talk show host’s doppelgänger, Henry David Thoreau, shares features such as their oval faces, distinct smile lines, and almond-shaped eyes. As a writer, Thoreau is famous for his books and essays that often covered nature, nature preservation, and survival. At the time, this made him an anarchist but today he would likely be considered an environmentalist.
Like her doppelgänger, DeGeneres is also often doing her best to make the world a better place. In addition to making hefty donations and using her daytime television show as a platform for others, she also created The Ellen Fund to help protect gorillas and other endangered species around the world.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Some Grandma’s Classmate, Judy Zipper
DiCaprio’s Net Worth: $260 Million DiCaprio’s Occupation: Actor/Producer Zipper’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Zipper’s Occupation: Unknown
We’ve all had nightmares about an old yearbook photo resurfacing and unfortunately for Judy Zipper, her worst fear was brought to life. While looking through an old yearbook, an unknown male posted this picture of his grandma’s classmate, noting the similarities between her and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Unfortunately for Zipper, the photo has since gone viral.
In Zipper’s defense, that hairstyle was quite popular back in the day. While little is known about Zipper, her doppelgänger is probably one of the biggest celebrities on the planet. The award-winning actor has been in some truly remarkable films such as Titanic, Wolf of Wall Street, Inception, and The Departed.
Robin Williams and Nobel Prize Winner Ilya Ilich Mechnikov
Williams’ Net Worth: $50 Million Williams’ Occupation: Actor Mechnikov’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Mechnikov’s Occupation: Zoologist
These doppelgängers will have you believing in both reincarnation and time travel! The late comedic actor Robin Williams was loved by millions was so similar to Russian zoologist Ilya Ilich Mechnikov. Also known as Elie Metchnikoff, Williams’ doppelgänger went on to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908 for his discoveries surrounding immunity.
The two share numerous similarities, including a scraggly beard, small eyes, large foreheads, and even expression lines. Like Mechnikov, Williams also shared a special connection with animals. He was able to communicate with them both on-screen in movies like Jumanji and in real life. Willams was known for his friendship with Koko the gorilla who mourned the actor’s death in 2014.
John Krasinski and Carl Adolf Feilberg
Krasinski’s Net Worth: $30 Million Krasinski’s Occupation: Actor and Director Feilberg’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Feilberg’s Occupation: Businessman
A painting of Danish businessman Carl Adolph Feilberg has some people convinced that actor John Krasinski travels back to the 1800s in his free time just to run a soap and wax candle factory. It’s the only explanation for how similar Krasinski looks to his 19th-century doppelgänger. The two couldn’t be more opposite though.
While Krasinski got his start on television starring in one of the most-watched shows of all time, he has since gone on to appear in films and work behind the cameras. Feilberg, on the other hand, didn’t seem to have a creative bone in his body though. His nephews, however, were known in the arts as journalists, authors, and photographers so there’s a possibility he’s a distant relative of Krasinski!
Michael Jackson and Painting by Dutch Painter Barent Fabritius
Jackson’s Net Worth: $500 Million Jackson’s Occupation: Pop singer Fabritius’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Fabritius’ Occupation: Painter
While the King of Pop had quite a few looks over the years, this painting certainly resembles his appearance at the end of his life. Painted by Dutch artist Barent Fabritius, the self-portrait is thought to have been completed in 1650. Those who’ve seen the painting on display at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany started pointing out his likeness to the infamous Michael Jackson.
From their dark eyes, soft cheekbones, distinct chin dimples, and dark curls, Fabritius and Jackson are nearly identical. They even share a unique fashion sense and are both depicted wearing a red shirt and tophat, furthering their likeness. Only time travel could possibly explain why they’d both wear a hat like that!
Liam Neeson and Fidel Castro
Neeson’s Net Worth: $145 Million Neeson’s Occupation: Actor Castro’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $900 Million Castro’s Occupation: Prime Minister of Cuba
Of all of the people in the world to be associated with, no one wants to be associated with Fidel Castro. Unfortunately for actor Liam Neeson, his appearance has led to a connection to the former Cuban leader that he’ll never be able to shake. Unless Neeson has a special set of skills that include disguise, he will just have to accept Castro as his doppelgänger.
The two share a pair of deep-set eyes, a distinct forehead, and a crooked nose. When the Star Wars actor decides to grow out his scraggly beard, the two are nearly identical. If Neeson ever decides to take a trip over to Cuba, he better make sure he’s clean-shaven to ensure there’s no mistaking him for the communist!
Kathy Bates and William Taft
Bates’ Net Worth: $32 Million Bates’ Occupation: Actor Taft’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $3 Million Taft’s Occupation: US President
While no woman wants to be told she looks like a man, there’s no doubting the resemblance between Kathy Bates and former president William Taft. In this case, rather than the Misery actress having more masculine features, the opposite is true. Taft’s round face and soft skin give him a more feminine touch, which makes him look even more like his doppelgänger.
These two share a set of sparkling eyes, firm cheeks, and a distinct forehead that could easily make them distant relatives. There’s a slim chance that if Bates had the power to go back in time that she would go as a man. Also, the 27th US president was best known for getting stuck in his bathtub so he wasn’t exactly a respected leader during his time in office.
Paul Giamatti and William Shakespeare
Giamatti’s Net Worth: $25 Million Giamatti’s Occupation: Actor Shakespeare’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $30 Million Shakespeare’s Occupation: Playwright
William Shakespeare continues to live on through his life’s work despite having lived several centuries ago. His plays are regularly performed and studied to this day, making him one of the most prominent writers of all time. However, Shakespeare was known for his plays, not his looks, so being labeled his doppelgänger might not be the kind of compliment most people would appreciate.
That being said, actor Paul Giamatti looks like he could be the writer’s brother. The Sideways actor shares the playwright's wide forehead, stern eyes, and oval face. He has even performed in one of Shakespeare’s most well-known plays, Hamlet. Giamatti held the lead role in 2013 when he returned to his alma mater, Yale University, to give a rave performance.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rose Wilder
Lane Gyllenhaal’s Net Worth: $15 Million Gyllenhaal’s Occupation: Actor Lane’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $9 Million Lane’s Occupation: Writer
Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal has appeared in many major motion films including The Dark Knight, Donnie Darko, and Mona Lisa Smile. Like her doppelgänger, creativity runs in Gyllenhaal’s family. Her brother is a well-known actor Jack Gyllenhaal and they’re the children of director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner.
The actress looks shockingly similar to writer and journalist Rose Wilder Lane whose mother is Laura Ingalls Wilder, creator of the Little House on the Prairie series. In addition to an adorable button nose, the two also share straight lips, smile lines, thick brown locks of hair, and glaring eyes. Believe in time travel yet?
Hugh Grant and Oscar Wilde
Grant’s Net Worth: $150 Million Grant’s Occupation: Actor Wilde’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $8 Million Wilde’s Occupation: Writer
In certain photos of British actor Hugh Grant, he might resemble the famous Irish writer, Oscar Wilde. Calling them doppelgängers might be a stretch, but it’s possible the two are distant relatives. The two may share a long jaw and heavy eyes, but it’s the hair that truly makes these two look alike.
Grant rocked the floppy hairstyle for years, and it quickly became his trademark. Wilde had a similar look, getting a mushroom cut long before it was in style. The two don’t look enough alike to question Grant on time travel claims, however.
Chuck Norris and Vincent Van Gogh
Norris’ Net Worth: $70 Million Norris’ Occupation: Actor Van Gogh’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Van Gogh’s Occupation: Painter
It has been reported by scientists that all redheads are related, so there’s a good chance that actor Chuck Norris shares some DNA with his famous doppelgänger. Renowned artist Vincent Van Gogh may be best known for his paintings, but he also looks a lot like the Walker, Texas Ranger star. They have far more than just their hair color in common though!
The two also share a full auburn beard, a prominent nose, deep-set eyes, and stoic glare. While Norris has never been known for being artsy, he earned his tough-guy reputation long before he appeared on television. It was his experience in martial arts that eventually led to his acting career. Norris’ career took off, while Van Gogh never saw success during his lifetime.
Jack Gleeson and Caligula
Gleeson’s Net Worth: $6 Million Gleeson’s Occupation: Actor Caligula’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $10 Million Caligula’s Occupation: Roman Emperor
Actor Jack Gleeson is best known for his role as Joffrey Baratheon on Game of Thrones, a young and sadistic king who uses his power for evil. Gleeson’s doppelgänger played a similar role but in real life. Caligula was a young Roman Emperor between 37 and 41 BCE. While not much is known about his short time in power, there are several sources that portray him as an evil tyrant with cruel and eccentric sexual perversions.
Those who have seen Game of Thrones will see the similarities between the emperor and Gleeson’s character. The comparisons don’t stop there though! Gleeson shares quite a few physical traits with Caligula as well, such as almond-shaped eyes, a distinct nose, a strong jaw, and prominent ears. Gleeson even had a similar haircut while on the show as Caligula had in real life. Perhaps his character was inspired by the young emperor!
Jon Stewart and Henry Ward Beecher
Stewart’s Net Worth: $100 Million Stewart’s Occupation: Comedian/Host Beecher’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $31 Million Beecher’s Occupation: Congregational Clergyman/Abolitionist
Former Late Night talk show host Jon Stewart may address politics in his comedy, but his doppelgänger went above and beyond to make changes in the United States. Henry Ward Beecher was a minister and a pastor who used his platform to protest slavery in the mid-1800s. He often used humor and slang in his lectures, gaining quite a following in New York.
Stewart, who is also coincidentally from New York, has quite a lot in common with his historical lookalike. In addition to using humor to appeal to wider audiences and to spread their political agendas, they also share narrow lips and large, heavy eyes. They don’t look enough alike to prove time travel, but they certainly might come from the same family tree!
Christina Aguilera and Ginger Rogers
Aguilera’s Net Worth: $160 Million Aguilera’s Occupation: Singer Rogers’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $20 Million Rogers’ Occupation: Actor/Singer
Pop singer and host of The Voice, Christina Aguilera is best known for her booming vocals and retro vibes. Her style may have changed over the years and was even questionable for a while there, but she seems to have settled on a ‘50s Hollywood glam look and it really works for her! It’s the artist’s style that has many people saying “it-girl” Ginger Rogers is Aguilera’s doppelgänger.
The height of Rogers’ career was in the ‘30s and ‘40s, but she continued to work on Broadway and in television until the late ‘80s. In addition to their glamorous blonde locks of hair, the two also share large bright eyes and pouty lips. They may not be twinning, but the two certainly seem to have the same sense of style!
Ben Schwartz and Leon Trotsky
Schwartz’s Net Worth: $3 Million Schwartz’s Occupation: Actor/Comedian Trotsky’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $2 Million Trotsky’s Occupation: Revolutionary Leader
Actor and comedian Ben Schwartz is probably known most for playing Jean-Ralphio on Parks and Recreation but he has also made headlines for looking a lot like another big name in Hollywood. Joe Keery who stars in Stranger Things may be one of Schwartz’s doppelgängers, but we can’t forget about revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky!
As a young man, Trotsky looks nearly identical to Schwartz. In addition to both being gifted luscious locks of hair that seem to defy gravity, they also share a prominent nose, distinct chin, and a square hairline. Is it just a fluke or the results of time travel? It’s up to you to decide!
Will Ferrell and Odysseas Androutsos
Ferrell’s Net Worth: $160 Million Ferrell’s Occupation: Actor/Comedian Androutsos’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $4 Million Androutsos’ Occupation: Greek War Hero
Will Ferrell is usually the man behind the jokes, but whoever decided he resembles Greek war hero Odysseas Androutsos certainly made him the butt of theirs! The actor best known for comedies like Step Brothers, Anchorman, and Old School must have pissed off the wrong person because Androutsos wasn’t exactly a handsome man. At least in terms of how he was depicted in this particular painting.
While Androutsos looks a bit like a cartoon character, he does share some similarities with Ferrell. They each share a pair of almond-shaped eyes, thick brows, and a prominent chin. The fact that they are each rocking some funky facial hair helps them look a bit alike as well.
Trent Reznor and Napoleon Bonaparte
Reznor’s Net Worth: $75 Million Reznor’s Occupation: Musician Bonaparte’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Bonaparte’s Occupation: French Emperor
Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor may be best known for performing the band’s biggest hits such as “Closer” and “Head Like a Hole,” but among some he’s more known for looking a lot like someone found in most history books. Former French leader Napoleon Bonaparte is considered one of the best military leaders of all time and just happens to resemble the NIN singer.
As a young man, Bonaparte wore his hair at chin length, leading people to call him Reznor’s doppelgänger. In addition to dark, stringy hair, the two also share a pointed nose, dark close-set eyes, and a prominent chin. As Bonaparte aged, however, the similarities between the two men grow less and less making it unlikely their resemblance indicates time travel.
Hank Azaria and Rudolf Steiner
Azaria’s Net Worth: $80 Million Azaria’s Occupation: Actor/Producer Steiner’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $1.6 Million Steiner’s Occupation: Philosopher
You likely recognize actor Hank Azaria for one of his television roles like David on Friends, but he’s also behind the voices of numerous characters on shows like Family Guy and The Simpsons. His distinguished look may have you thinking it’s one of a kind, but we don’t have to go back too far in history to find his doppelgänger. Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner is known for his work in what he referred to as “spiritual science,” which evolved into his creating a new form of movement art.
Both Azaria and Steiner have more in common than their passion for the arts though. They also share a set of large, bulging eyes, prominent cheekbones, an oval face, and a square chin. While they may not look similar enough to convince anyone that time travel exists, they just might be distant relatives!
Conan O’Brien and Marshall Henry Twitchell
O’Brien’s Net Worth: $95 Million O’Brien’s Occupation: Comedian/Host Twitchell’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Twitchell’s Occupation: Union Soldier
As one of the most famous gingers in the world, Conan O’Brien is often remembered for his signature red hair, pale skin, and startling height. He often towers over his guests on his late-night talk show Conan, something that makes his comedic commentary even more hilarious. While most of his life has been largely public, not much is known about his doppelgänger.
Marshall H. Twitchell was a Union Army soldier in the 1800s who eventually pursued a career in politics. If Twitchell was a redhead, we would know for sure that he and O’Brien were related! However, all we know is that the two share the same square jaw, small close-set eyes, and a thin-lipped grin that naturally forms a frown rather than a smile.
Charlie Sheen and John Brown
Sheen’s Net Worth: $10 Million Sheen’s Occupation: Actor Brown’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Brown’s Occupation: Abolitionist
Long-time party boy Charlie Sheen always seems to be up to no good. There hasn’t been a period in his career when he wasn’t caught up in one controversy or another. The actor’s doppelgänger, on the other hand, focused his energy on a more respectable cause. John Brown was an abolitionist in the 1800s who spent his life working towards freeing slaves.
While Sheen and Brown have some physical features in common, they couldn’t possibly be more different. Brown was caught during a raid on the federal reserves at Harpers Ferry attempting to start a liberation movement. This led to his execution at just 59 years old, even though he appears much older. Perhaps this is a glimpse into Sheen’s future and what he’ll start to look like once his partying ways dry up all of his savings.
Rupert Grint and Sir David Wilkie
Grint’s Net Worth: $50 Million Grint’s Occupation: Actor Wilkie’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $32 Million Wilkie’s Occupation: Artist
British actor Rupert Grint will forever be remembered for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter films. His legacy includes his bright red hair, which as you may recall, makes him a distant relative of all other gingers. This means that Grint and his doppelgänger are likely distant cousins!
British artist Sir David Wilkie was a successful painter known for a variety of subjects, including this self-portrait made when he was roughly 20 years old. In addition to the red hair, the painter and actor share deep almond eyes, smooth porcelain skin, a prominent chin, and a distinct nose. If time travel did exist, the Harry Potter star would certainly be one of the first to have access to it!
Julianne Moore and Joan of Arc
Moore’s Net Worth: $50 Million Moore’s Occupation: Actor Joan’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $5 Million Joan’s Occupation: War Heroine
Julianne Moore is perhaps one of the best on-screen actresses in recent history, best known for her roles in The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Hannibal, and Boogie Nights. Her fiery red hair and soft features have led many to believe her doppelgänger is none other than the infamous Joan of Arc. Even though the war heroine died at just 19 years old, she still strongly resembles the actress.
In addition to their red hair, the two share flawless porcelain white skin, a slim nose, and defiant eyes. Since Joan of Arc was born in the early 1400s, there are no photographs of her. The only references we have are paintings that portray the Roman Catholic Saint. So, there’s a good chance that Moore simply looks like a few paintings of Joan of Arc, and not necessarily the young woman herself.
Johnny Depp and Arthur Schopenhauer
Depp’s Net Worth: $200 Million Depp’s Occupation: Actor Schopenhauer’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $7 Million Schopenhauer’s Occupation: German Philosopher
American actor Johnny Depp hardly needs an introduction. He gained recognition after earning roles in A Nightmare on Elm Street and 21 Jump Street before taking on more prominent parts. Depp quickly rose to stardom and has long since been considered a Hollywood heartthrob. Many have compared the actor to German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, who influenced many others in the field including Freud.
Both Depp and his doppelgänger share dark mysterious eyes, sunken cheeks, a prominent jaw, and pouty lips. If there was ever to be a biopic about Schopenhauer and his life’s work, Depp would be the perfect actor for the part!
Anthony Hopkins and Socrates
Hopkins’ Net Worth: $160 Million Hopkins’ Occupation: Actor Socrates’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $12 Million Socrates’ Occupation: Philosopher
As far as celebrities go, Anthony Hopkins is certainly A-list. The award-winning actor has been appearing in films since the ‘60s including Silence of the Lambs, Nixon, and Beowulf. His doppelgänger is none other than the famed Greek philosopher, Socrates.
While there are no photographs of the founder of Western philosophy, statues erected in his honor depict him as an older balding man with a beard and stubby nose. These statues certainly look similar to Hopkins, but there’s no way to know if they’re depicting the real Socrates or what he was thought to look like. In addition to the beard and the loss of hair, the two also share expression lines, kind eyes, and a wide nose.
Rose McGowan and Hedy Lamarr
McGowan’s Net Worth: $6 Million McGowan’s Occupation: Actor/Activist Lamarr’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $5 Million Lamarr’s Occupation: Actor/Inventor
Rose McGowan has recently become an activist and is considered one of the faces of the Me Too Movement, but she’s also a well-known actress. After breaking into the industry when cast on the television hit show Charmed, she quickly moved on to the big screen appearing in movies like Scream, Jawbreaker, and Planet Terror.
Her classic beauty means that she resembles some of the actresses of old Hollywood, including her doppelgänger Hedy Lamarr. Appearing in films in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, Lamarr was also incredibly smart and created a unique radio guidance system and aviation designs during World War II. In addition to being incredibly strong-minded, the two women also share plump red lips, doe eyes, porcelain skin, and dark hair making them look like long-lost sisters!
Shia LaBeouf and Albert Einstein
LaBeouf’s Net Worth: $25 Million LaBeouf’s Occupation: Actor Einstein’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $1 Million Einstein’s Occupation: Theoretical Physicist
Who would have thought that a young Albert Einstein was handsome? In fact, he was so good-looking that he’s considered to be Shia LaBeouf’s doppelgänger! The actor, who is best known for his roles in Holes, Disturbia, and Transformers, has often been considered a stud, making his resemblance to Einstein even eerier.
While LaBeouf may not be a world-renowned physicist, he and Einstein have quite a bit in common. The two share dark almond-shaped eyes that tilt slightly downward, a pronounced nose, and some interesting facial hair choices. Imagine a film about a young Einstein discovering his love for physics starring LaBeouf. Sounds like a hit, right?
Robbie Williams and Jesse Pomeroy
Williams’ Net Worth: $300 Million Williams’ Occupation: Musician Pomeroy’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $0 Pomeroy’s Occupation: Criminal
Former British boy band member, Robbie Williams, may not have made a name for himself in the United States, but he is one of the most successful musicians in the UK. After leaving the ‘80s pop group “Take That,” he went on to pursue a solo career leading to nearly a dozen hit records. While he has rocked quite a few styles over the years, he happens to look like a serial killer from the 1800s.
Jesse Pomeroy had at least two victims and is thought to have more, by the time he was convicted at 13 years old. He’s still the youngest person in the state of Massachusetts to have been convicted of first-degree murder. Fortunately for Williams, the only thing he has in common with his doppelgänger is their appearance.
Gary Oldman and Albert Johnson
Oldman’s Net Worth: $50 Million Oldman’s Occupation: Actor Johnson’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $0 Johnson’s Occupation: Criminal
Award-winning British actor, Gary Oldman, is best known for his roles in movies like The Dark Knight, The Fifth Element, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Darkest Hour. His ability to transform into all of the unique characters he has played over the years is remarkable, to say the least. The actor’s doppelgänger is unlike any character he’s ever played before though.
Albert Johnson, also known as the “Mad Trapper of Rat River,” was a Canadian fugitive in the early 1900s. He had numerous pseudonyms to protect his identity and allow him to continue his criminal activities, so Johnson may not even be his real name. His crimes led to one of Canada’s largest manhunts of all time, ultimately resulting in Johnson’s death.
Adrien Brody and John Locke
Brody’s Net Worth: $16 Million Brody’s Occupation: Actor Locke’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $1 Million Locke’s Occupation: Philosopher
Actor Adrien Brody is best known for his performance in movies like The Pianist, Summer of Sam, and The Village. He’s known for being dedicated to his roles, even breaking his nose on three separate occasions trying to pull off his own stunts. With such a distinct look, it’s hard to believe the actor has a doppelgänger that looks so much like him.
Famed philosopher John Locke not only inspired the founding fathers of America with his revolutionary ideas, but he happens to resemble one of the greatest actors of our time. If we looked into Brody’s future, he would likely be nearly identical to the philosopher later in his life. The two share a long face, prominent nose, thin lips, and eyebrows that are naturally angled downwards.
Nick Jonas and Franklin Pierce
Jonas’ Net Worth: $50 Million Jonas’ Occupation: Actor/Singer Pierce’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $3 Million Pierce’s Occupation: US President
As the youngest of the Jonas Brothers, Nick Jonas first gained recognition in the popular boy band. He has since achieved success with a solo career in music and has even done a bit of acting. Unlike his brothers, this Jonas happens to have a doppelgänger who once called the White House his home.
Franklin Pierce was the 14th president of the United States and was not exactly favored in history. He was best known for being in favor of slavery, even encouraging the southern states to secede. While it’s true that Jonas shares a few similar features with the former president, they’re hardly identical. Perhaps they’re related though!
Christopher Lloyd and John C. Calhoun
Lloyd’s Net Worth: $40 Million Lloyd’s Occupation: Actor Calhoun’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $850,000 Calhoun’s Occupation: US Vice President
Christopher Lloyd is best known for his role as Emmett “Doc” Brown in Back to the Future. His wild hair and over-the-top expressions have become the face of some of our favorite memes, truly making the actor timeless in his role as a pop icon. Who would have thought that Lloyd had some political connections with a former vice president as a doppelgänger?
As the 7th American vice president, John C. Calhoun worked under former President John Quincy Adams and then stayed on to work under President Andrew Jackson. He and Lloyd share a distinct look, especially when the actor was in character as Doc. The two share intense bulging eyes, some wild hair, prominent ears, and a long face!
Jimmy Fallon and Damien Thomas
Fallon’s Net Worth: $60 Million Fallon’s Occupation: Comedian/ Host Thomas’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $45 Million Thomas’ Occupation: Actor
Another lookalike for the hilarious Jimmy Fallon. While he has had hundreds of guests sit across from him over the years, he has never had his doppelgänger on his show. British actor Damien Thomas started acting in the late ‘60s and has appeared in films such as Journey into Darkness, Twins of Evil, Henry VIII and His Six Wives, and Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.
In addition to sharing career interests, Fallon and Thomas also share a few facial features. These include flared nostrils, thin lips, pronounced brows, dark eyes, and a prominent jaw. While time travel is unlikely since they both live during the same time period, there may be a reason why Fallon has never had Thomas on his show!
Brad Pitt and Union General Isaac Stevens
Pitt’s Net Worth: $300 Million Pitt’s Occupation: Actor Stevens’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $78,000 Stevens’ Occupation: Army Officer/Politician
While you may think Brad Pitt’s rugged good looks are one-of-a-kind, the actor has a doppelgänger just like everyone else on this list. The Oscar winner seems to share his good looks with the first governor of the Territory of Washington and delegate to the United States House of Representatives, Isaac Stevens. He shares Pitt’s dreamy eyes, prominent eyebrows, luscious hair, and the love of facial hair.
Unfortunately, there’s no way that their similarities prove time travel. The Civil War veteran actually only stood at just over 5 feet tall and was considered a dwarf at the time. This is a bit taller than the actor, who stands at 5 feet 10 inches. At least there’s hope for future generations to appreciate their very own Brad Pitt doppelgänger!
Bill Bailey and Thomas Hobbes
Bailey’s Net Worth: $7 Million Bailey’s Occupation: Actor/Comedian Hobbes’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Hobbes’ Occupation: Philosopher
British actor and comedian Bill Bailey got his start on television shows like Wild West and Black Books. He eventually turned to comedy and became one of the top comedians in the United Kingdom. The entertainer couldn’t be more different from his doppelgänger, philosopher Thomas Hobbes who lived back in the 1500s.
Considered to be one of the founders of modern political philosophy, Hobbes shares several physical features with Bailey. These include a receding hairline, a round face, distinguished eyebrows, and smile lines. They also seem to share a love for quirky facial hair, making it even more likely that their likeness is a result of time travel!
Zayn Malik and Joseph Stalin
Malik’s Net Worth: $65 Million Malik’s Occupation: Musician Stalin’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $350 Billion Stalin’s Occupation: Leader of the Soviet Union
Zayn Malik is best known for singing in the boy band One Direction before going off on his own to pursue a solo career. The singer has an incredibly unique appearance, which is likely due to his mixed Pakistani and Irish/English background. Despite having an original look, Malik has a doppelgänger even more infamous than himself.
Joseph Stalin has been labeled one of the most notorious figures in history and is thought to be responsible for millions of deaths. Despite his reputation, Stalin was quite a looker in his twenties. The ruthless tyrant shares numerous features with the pop star including a gorgeous head of hair, dark mysterious eyes, prominent eyebrows, and a chiseled jaw. Fortunately, Stalin’s appearance caught up to his personality and his good looks didn’t last.
Jeffrey Tambor and Benjamin Franklin
Tambor’s Net Worth: $16 Million Tambor’s Occupation: Actor Franklin’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $10.3 Billion Franklin’s Occupation: Politician/Inventor
Benjamin Franklin may have been one of America’s founding fathers, but he isn’t exactly considered a handsome man. Having him for a doppelgänger would be an insult to most people; however, the hilarious actor Jeffrey Tambor doesn’t seem to mind at all. In fact, it seems like Franklin may have even inspired some of Tambor’s looks!
The Arrested Development actor may not be inventing the next everyday necessity like bifocals and fire departments, but he has certainly mastered Franklin’s appearance. He shares a number of features with his doppelgänger, including an oval head, distinct nose, receding hairline, and prominent expression lines.
Glenn Close and George Washington
Close’s Net Worth: $50 Million Close’s Occupation: Actor Washington’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $525 Million Washington’s Occupation: US President
Award-winning actress Glenn Close is best known for her roles in The Big Chill, Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisons, Hamlet, and 101 Dalmations. Over the years, she has portrayed a man on several occasions, including in the film Albert Nobbs. For that reason, it should come as no surprise that her doppelgänger is none other than the first US president, George Washington.
While there are no photographs of the country’s founding father, there are more than enough artist portrayals of Washington to know what he looked like. He and Close share a number of features, including snow-white hair, soft, smooth skin, a prominent nose, straight lips, and a strong jaw. They look so much alike that there just might be a role as Washington in Close’s future!
Andrew Garfield and Leon Trotsky
Garfield’s Net Worth: $10 Million Garfield’s Occupation: Actor Trotsky’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $2 Million Trotsky’s Occupation: Revolutionary Leader
While Ben Schwartz and Andrew Garfield don’t look much alike, they somehow have the same doppelgänger. Revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky shares quite a few features with The Amazing Spider-Man actor, but perhaps not as many as Schwartz.
They both have distinct jawlines, but Garfield’s face is noticeably longer. The two also share a similar hairline and thick head of hair, but it’s safe to say there was no time travel going on here. Garfield and Trotsky may be distant relatives, but they certainly aren’t twins.
Anne Hathaway and a Francisco de Goya's Painting
Hathaway’s Net Worth: $50 Million Hathaway’s Occupation: Actor Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Unknown
Award-winning actress Anne Hathaway grew to stardom after starring in the teen classic, The Princess Diaries. She has since gone on to appear in hits such as Les Miserables, Love & Other Drugs, and The Dark Knight Rises. Some believe that the actress’ doppelgänger is this French Officer painted by Francisco de Goya.
De Goya worked for the Royal Court in France in the 1700s, painting quite a few portraits during that time, including this one. While there are some similarities between Hathaway and the unnamed officer, there aren’t enough to prove time travel. Perhaps the man is a great-great-great-uncle!
Dustin Diamond and Joseph Pulitzer
Diamond’s Net Worth: $50,000 Diamond’s Occupation: Actor Pulitzer’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $30.6 Million Pulitzer’s Occupation: Publisher
Dustin Diamond once played Screech Powers on Saved by the Bell and has since had a controversial career in comedy and reality television. Unfortunately, Diamond passed away in early 2021 following a cancer diagnosis. While he has managed to achieve immortality as a pop icon from the ‘90s, his doppelgänger has achieved eternal life another way. Joseph Pulitzer is recognized as one of the most influential literary publishers in United States history.
Aside from sharing a face with Screech, he published two newspapers in his lifetime and continues to be recognized in the form of the Pulitzer Prize. While he doesn’t share the actor’s poor decision-making skills, he does share a few facial features. These include an oval face, a prominent nose, and a chin full of facial hair!
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Young Civil War Soldier
Gordon-Levitt’s Net Worth: $35 Million Gordon-Levitt’s Occupation: Actor Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Soldier
Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt got his start in the movie industry as a child and has since gone on to become one of the biggest names in Hollywood. He's best known for his work in films like Inception, 500 Days of Summer, and Knives Out. While little is known about the actor's doppelgänger, we do know that he was a World War I soldier.
Even though Gordon-Levitt was never in the military himself, he has portrayed a number of soldiers on the big screen, including in Stop-Loss, Looper, Lincoln, and Miracle at St. Anna. The actor shares quite a few similarities with his doppelgänger, including a child-like smile and those legendary dimples!
Demetrius Shipp Jr. and Tupac Shakur
Shipp’s Net Worth: $215 Million Shipp’s Occupation: Actor Shakur’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $200,000 Shakur’s Occupation: Rapper
Growing up, Demetrius Shipp Jr. was often told that he looked like Tupac Shakur. Little did he know that his doppelgänger would ultimately put him on a path toward Hollywood. After taking the advice of a friend, Shipp auditioned for the lead role in All Eyez On Me, a biopic on the rapper’s life.
Not only did producers give Shipp the role for looking nearly identical to Shakur, but they even said that the actor was able to seamlessly pull off the rapper’s mannerisms as well. Photos of Shipp in character are difficult to tell apart from Shakur as they share a strong jaw, wide eyes, a bright smile, and a plumper lower lip.
Eminem and Roman Emperor Severus
Alexander Eminem’s Net Worth: $230 Million Eminem’s Occupation: Rapper Alexander’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Alexander’s Occupation: Roman Emperor
Marshall Mathers, better known as Eminem, seems to have that kind of face that people always think is familiar. He has several doppelgängers throughout history, including Roman Emperor Severus Alexander. Since the emperor lived during a time period before photography, we don’t exactly know what the man looked like and only have artist renderings to go by
Regardless, this statue certainly resembles the rapper. It might be the stone, but the emperor shares the musician’s stern look, wide-set eyes, prominent nose, and distinguished chin. If time travel did exist, there’s a slim chance Eminem would use that technology to rule Rome, but you never know!
Leonardo DiCaprio and Konrad Annerud
DiCaprio’s Net Worth: $260 Million DiCaprio’s Occupation: Actor Annerud’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Annerud’s Occupation: Bartender/Musician
In 2015, Swedish bartender and amateur model Konrad Annerud made headlines for strongly resembling a young Leonardo DiCaprio. With the same dirty-blonde-styled hair that the actor rocked while filming Titanic, it didn’t take long for photos of Annerud to go viral. DiCaprio’s doppelgänger has since gained popularity on social media, giving him quite the audience for his music.
While no one will ever truly be able to replace the beloved actor, his doppelgänger certainly comes close. They share a number of facial features, including blue almond-shaped eyes, expression lines across the forehead, and a chiseled jaw. There’s no evidence of time travel here, but perhaps DiCaprio has been a victim of cloning!
John Krasinski and Earl Thomas Conley
Krasinski’s Net Worth: $30 Million Krasinski’s Occupation: Actor/Producer Conley’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $8 Million Conley’s Occupation: Musician
John Krasinski first gained recognition in his role as Jim Halpert on The Office before taking his career to the big screen in movies like Something Borrowed, 13 Hours, License to Wed, and A Quiet Place. Looking at a photo of his doppelgänger, you’d swear it’s Krasinski dressed in some over-the-top Halloween costume. However, it’s country singer Earl Thomas Conley!
After Conley passed away in 2019, fans started to notice how much he resembled the actor back when he was younger. Aside from the obvious style differences, the two are nearly identical. They share the same nose, an oval face, prominent brows, and deep almond-shaped eyes. Certainly, their close resemblance couldn’t be the result of time travel since their lives overlapped, but perhaps Krasinski has a distant uncle he never knew about!
Andrew Garfield and Anthony Perkins
Garfield’s Net Worth: $10 Million Garfield’s Occupation: Actor Perkins’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $6 Million Perkins’ Occupation: Actor
Actor Andrew Garfield is best known for films like The Social Network and The Amazing Spider-Man. He’s known for having several doppelgängers throughout history, but he most resembles fellow actor Anthony Perkins. With a career that began back in the ‘50s, Perkins’ most recognized role was as Norman Bates in Psycho.
Other films he appeared in include Psycho III, Goodbye Again, Catch-22, and WUSA. As a young man, Perkins shares quite a few features with Garfield, including prominent cheekbones, deep smile lines, a square jaw, and dark flirtatious eyes. Since their lives overlap, there’s no evidence of time travel here, but perhaps Garfield and Perkins were distant relatives!
Macaulay Culkin and Young Vladimir Putin
Culkin’s Net Worth: $16 Million Culkin’s Occupation: Actor Putin’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $70 Billion Putin’s Occupation: President of Russia
Child star Macaulay Culkin has long since been inducted into our pop culture. His role as Kevin McCallister continues to appeal to fans who watch Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York each holiday season. Few people would ever guess that Culkin’s doppelgänger is a young Vladimir Putin.
The actor has very little in common with the Russian leader, but there are some facial similarities between the two. When Putin was a boy, he shared a similar cheekbone structure and hairstyle to Culkin. The two share sunken eyes which makes their eyebrows and the area under the eyes more prominent, which is the most obvious similarity.
Dave Franco and Someone’s Uncle
Franco’s Net Worth: $10 Million Franco’s Occupation: Actor Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Unknown
Dave Franco got his start in acting with small television roles before transitioning to the big screen. He’s best known for starring in films like 21 Jump Street; Now You See Me, and Neighbors. After looking through some old photos, a fan discovered that her uncle looked nearly identical to Franco as a young man.
Nothing is known about Franco’s doppelgänger other than he shares the actor’s face. They both have strong jaws, dark eyes that angle downwards, prominent eyebrows, and attractive smiles. Either Franco is a time traveler, or this fan’s uncle is the actor’s grandfather!
Jerry O’Connell and a Civil War Soldier
O’Connell’s Net Worth: $20 Million O’Connell’s Occupation: Actor Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Civil War Soldier
Actor Jerry O’Connell is best known for appearing in films like Jerry Macguire, Scream 2, Tomcats, and Piranha 3D. He has since transitioned to a television actor with roles in shows like Sliders, Crossing Jordan, and The Defenders. While he was never in the military, his doppelgänger appears to have been a Civil War soldier.
The mystery soldier looks far too young to be in the frontlines of any battle and is likely just a teenager. He shares a number of features with the actor, including a wide nose, big eyes, and a blank expression. While they don’t look identical, there’s still a chance that the two share a bloodline!
Pope Francis and Jim Nabors
Francis’ Net Worth: $80 Million Francis’ Occupation: Pope Nabors’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $25 Million Nabors’ Occupation: Actor/Singer
Jim Nabors was a popular actor in the ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. He first appeared on The Andy Griffith Show as Gomer Pyle, a character that was so beloved by audiences that he became a regular on the show. The character even inspired a spinoff, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. Many people believe the actor strongly resembles the current head of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis.
While Nabors was heavily involved in the church growing up, even singing in the choir, he was never as devoted as his doppelgänger. What makes the two so similar is an adorably crooked smile, prominent nose, and smile lines around the eyes. The only obvious difference between the two men is their eyebrows, as Nabors had much thicker brows.
Bill Nye and Abraham Lincoln
Nye’s Net Worth: $6.5 Million Nye’s Occupation: Host/Comedian Lincoln’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $85,000 Lincoln’s Occupation: US President
Thanks to actor George Takei, you will never be able to unsee the similarities between these doppelgängers. Bill Nye is most recognized for hosting the educational program Bill Nye the Science Guy. In recent years, he has also appeared as himself on several episodes of The Big Bang Theory and has been compared to none other than former president Abraham Lincoln.
America’s sixteenth president may be best known for his tophat and stringy beard, but there are some clear similarities between him and Nye. In addition to their pursuit of knowledge, the two also have a few facial features in common. They both have a uniquely squared head, thick eyebrows, smile lines, sunken cheeks, and a prominent nose.
Lily Collins and Audrey Hepburn
Collins’ Net Worth: $8 Million Collins’ Occupation: Actor Hepburn’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $100 Million Hepburn’s Occupation: Actor
Lily Collins has been compared to legendary actress Audrey Hepburn since the moment she came into the limelight. She has appeared in films that include The Blind Side, Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, Love, Rosie, and Mirror, Mirror. Comparisons to her doppelgänger are often made in interviews, as the media has labeled Collins as the Audrey Hepburn of action films.
In addition to Hepburn’s iconic dark hair, Collins also shares her thick brows, big flirtatious eyes, button nose, and soft porcelain skin. Not only is Hepburn known for starring in timeless films like Sabrina, Breakfast at Tiffany's, My Fair Lady, and Wait Until Dark, but she was also known for her flawless beauty. Collins has certainly lucked out with this comparison!
Bryan Cranston and Max Weber
Cranston’s Net Worth: $40 Million Cranston’s Occupation: Actor Weber’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $28 Million Weber’s Occupation: Sociologist/Philosopher
Actor Bryan Cranston shot to celebrity status after earning a starring role in Breaking Bad. The AMC drama has won a number of awards and is considered one of the greatest television series of all time. Cranston’s doppelgänger’s life took him in a different direction as a sociologist and philosopher.
Max Weber provided research that led to some of the most important developments in modern Western society. While he and Cranston couldn’t be more different from one another, they do share a number of facial features. These include stern eyes, prominent expression lines, distinct ears, and a love for facial hair. They may not be identical twins, but they could potentially be related!
Harlem Jay-Z and Unknown Doppelgänger
Harlem Jay-Z’s Net Worth: $1 Billion Jay-Z’s Occupation: Musician Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Unknown
Jay-Z, born Shawn Corey Carter, is a legendary rapper and artist of our time. He was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1969, not too far from where this photo of his doppelgänger was taken. This photo has been circulating around the internet and is thought to be from the 1930s, several decades before Jay-Z was born.
The similarities between the rapper and the mystery man are uncanny. If we didn’t know better, this photo could easily be mistaken as Jay-Z at a vintage photoshoot or on a movie set. The two men share a wide-set nose, pouty lips, droopy eyes, and carefree mannerisms. Is this enough evidence to prove time travel exists, though?
George Clooney and Cary Grant
Clooney’s Net Worth: $500 Million Clooney’s Occupation: Actor/Director/Screenwriter Grant’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $60 Million Grant’s Occupation: Actor
Heartthrob and A-lister George Clooney has been making waves in Hollywood since the ‘80s and doesn’t seem to be letting up any time soon. It would only be fitting for him to have a doppelgänger who is also a major icon in the industry. Cary Grant is one of the original Hollywood actors, appearing in classic films like The Awful Truth, The Philadelphia Story, His Girl Friday, The Bishop's Wife, To Catch a Thief, An Affair to Remember, and North by Northwest.
Both considered heartthrobs of their generation, the two have more in common than their acting chops. They share dreamy eyes, chiseled jaws, smile lines, and a bad-boy attitude. While they’re far from identical, their similarities demonstrate that traditional good looks certainly don’t go out of style!
Nicolas Cage and Our Lady of Sorrows
Cage’s Net Worth: $25 Million Cage’s Occupation: Actor Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Catholic Saint
Nicolas Cage is best known for his roles in films like Honeymoon in Vegas, Face/Off, Con Air, Gone in Sixty Seconds, The Rock, and The Family Man. While he has been known to have several doppelgängers, this image of Our Lady of Sorrows, also referred to as the Virgin Mary, is another one to add to the list.
The two share a long face, hopeless eyes, and prominent noses but are far from identical. Clearly, this is not an example of time travel, but it does seem that Cage has some statuesque facial features!
Mahir Cayan and Jimmy Fallon
Occupation: Comedian/Television Host Cayan’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Cayan’s Occupation: Political Activist
Aside from their appearance, late-night television host Jimmy Fallon and Turkish political activist Mahir Cayan have absolutely nothing in common. Fallon has spent much of his time working in the entertainment industry, first as a comedian and then as a host. He got his start on Saturday Night Live and now hosts The Tonight Show, Starring Jimmy Fallon, making the occasional political comment.
Cayan’s involvement in politics was far more hands-on. As an activist, Cayan’s short life was consumed by politics. He was one of the founders and leaders of the People's Liberation Party-Front of Turkey, which was a Turkish Marxist-Leninist militant organization. After taking several NATO technicians, hostage in an attempt to save other activists from execution, Cayan and several others were killed by soldiers.
Liv Tyler and Ava Gardner
Tyler’s Net Worth: $50 Million Tyler’s Occupation: Actress/Model Gardner’s Net Worth: $200,000 Gardner’s Occupation: Actress
As the daughter of Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler, Liv Tyler’s upbringing was a far cry from Ava Gardner’s humble small-town beginnings, but there’s no denying that these women are practically clones.
Their resemblance is so uncanny that Liv was actually described by one film critic as a “ganglier young Ava Gardner '' in her role in the film Stealing Beauty. Both dark-haired beauties are known as some of the most stunning women to grace the silver screen.
Vincent Cassel and Fred Astaire
Cassel’s Net Worth: $20 Million Cassel’s Occupation: Actor Astaire’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $10 Million Astaire’s Occupation: Dancer/Choreographer/Actor
While we’re not sure how talented of a dancer Vincent Cassel is, there’s no doubt that he looks very similar to the late dance legend Fred Astaire. The French actor and the American dancer both have similar thin builds, broad foreheads, and intense eyes.
Though he’ll probably need to brush up on his dancing skills, we think Vincent would have no problem playing the talented dancer (though he might need to find Ginger Rogers’s doppelgänger!)
Gigi Hadid and Greta Garbo
Hadid’s Net Worth: $29 Million Hadid’s Occupation: Model Garbo’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $70 Million Garbo’s Occupation: Actress
Often described as one of the greatest and biggest stars in classic cinema, Swedish actress Greta Garbo had an alluring effect on viewers. Today, another woman, model Gigi Hadid has proven that she, too, can command the camera like none other.
The model and the movie icon have very similar round faces and eyebrows. And while Gigi often wears far more revealing clothing than Greta did in her heyday, they both possess an undeniable sensuality.
Dakota Fanning and "Portrait of Mary Zouch" by Hans Holbein the Younger
Fanning’s Net Worth: $12 Million Fanning’s Occupation: Actress Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Lady-in-Waiting to Queen Jane Seymour
Dakota Fanning may be one of Hollywood’s most popular actresses, but this painting has left us wondering if she also owns a time machine.
Mary Zouch, the subject of this classic painting by German painter Hans Holbein, looks exactly like the actress down to her girlish face and flaxen locks. If a film is ever made of this court figure, we know who should audition!
Johnny Depp and “The Desperate Man” By Gustave Courbet
Depp’s Net Worth: $150 Million Depp’s Occupation: Actor Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Artist
Many people would argue that Johnny Depp is one of the most fascinating men to grace the screen in decades. From dramas to fantasy films, Johnny’s incredible ability to transform into characters has made him a fan favorite.
It turns out, however, that more than a century ago, there was another tall, dark, and handsome artist turning heads — French artist Gustave Courbet. His self-portrait entitled “The Desperate Man” looks exactly like the actor!
Amy Schumer and “American Gothic” By Grant Wood
Schumer’s Net Worth: $45 Million Schumer’s Occupation: Comedian/Actress Doppelgänger’s Net Worth: Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Farmer
Comedienne Amy Schumer’s standup material may center around modern issues, but it seems that she bears a resemblance to the subject of one of the world’s most famous classic paintings.
The funny blonde looks nearly identical to the woman in artist Grant Wood’s famous piece, “American Gothic”. Though the woman (said to have been inspired by Grant’s sister) seems a bit more serious compared to the typically-jovial Amy, the two have similar blue eyes and face shapes.
David Tennant and “Self Portrait” By Karl Begas
Tennant’s Net Worth: $9 Million Tennant’s Occupation: Actor Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Artist
With his intense stare and enviable head of dark hair, it’s no surprise that many would see the similarities between Scottish actor David Tennant and German painter Karl Begas.
This similarity is perfectly illustrated when looking at Karl’s self-portrait — a painting that captures his strikingly unique look. Though David’s medium is on the screen, while his Doppelgänger’s medium was the canvas, both men seem to have made their mark in the world.
Natalie Dormer and “Queen Charlotte” by Johann Georg Ziesenis
Dormer’s Net Worth: $7 Million Dormer’s Occupation: Actress Doppelgänger’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Queen of England
Considering how many roles British actress Natalie Dormer has played in historical dramas, we were quite surprised to learn that she’s never been cast as Queen Charlotte.
The “Game of Thrones” actress and the late British royal look so incredibly similar, down to their blue eyes and fair skin, that we wonder if these two brits are possibly related at some point in their family tree.
Jimmy Page and the Quaker Oats Man
Page’s Net Worth: $180 Million Page’s Occupation: Musician Doppelgänger’s Net Worth: Unknown Doppelgänger’s Occupation: Company Logo
Since the Quaker Oats Co. began using the image of the “Quaker Oats Man” in the late 1800s, there has been much speculation regarding who he resembles. Some say he looks like English writer William Penn, but the company has stayed mum on the subject.
Personally, we think the iconic figure looks more like musician Jimmy Page. While we can’t imagine the classic breakfast spokesman rocking a guitar like Jimmy, they do look pretty similar!
Zac Efron and Leonard Whiting
Efron’s Net Worth: $25 Million Efron’s Occupation: Actor Whiting’s Net Worth: $1 Million Whiting’s Occupation: Actor/Singer
Though most young people today aren’t too familiar with retired British actor Leonard Whiting, there was a time when the English actor was one of the biggest heartthrobs in Hollywood.
Leonard, the star of Franco Zeffirelli’s big-screen version of “Romeo and Juliet,” had fans feeling a bit hot under their collars with his romantic role. Today, the heartthrob torch has been passed down to actor Zac Efron who looks almost identical to the iconic actor.
Alicia Keys and Lena Horne
Key’s Net Worth: $150 Million. Key’s Occupation: Musician/Actress Horne’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $30 Million Horne’s Occupation: Dancer/Musician
While some celebrity doppelgängers simply look similar, Alicia Keys and Lena Horne’s similarities go beyond just skin-deep. Both women have pushed boundaries as artists and as activists fighting for their respective causes.
Like the late dancer and actress Lena Horne, Alicia Keys has also explored her talents beyond music. The two women are not only very similar but are both extremely celebrated in show business.
Matt Damon and Someone’s Father
Damon’s Net Worth: $170 Million Damon’s Occupation: Actor Person’s Father: Unknown Person’s Father’s Occupation: Unknown
Going through your family’s photo albums, you may be surprised by what you might find. This person would have never guessed that their father actually once resembled a very famous celebrity — actor Matt Damon.
And while we don’t think his father got up to any adventures as Matt has in the “Bourne Identity” franchise, we think he would fit in perfectly! Strangely enough, their mother looks a bit like Matt’s real-life wife, Luciana Barroso!
Matthew McConaughey and Someone’s Great-Great-Grandfather
McConaughey’s Net Worth: $160 Million McConaughey’s Occupation: Actor. Someone’s Great-Great-Grandfather’s Net Worth: Unknown Someone’s Great-Great-Grandfather’s Occupation: Unknown
Like most rational people, we have a hard time believing in things like time travel. That said, we’re having trouble coming up with a logical reason why this man from centuries ago looks like actor Matthew McConaughey.
The more we look at this photo, the more it looks like the “Dallas Buyers Club” actor simply glued on a fake mustache and took one of those “old time” photos! We wonder if his relatives also resemble the famous actor.
James Woods and Erwin Schrödinger
Wood’s Net Worth: $8 Million Wood’s Occupation: Actor Schrödinger’s Net Worth: $5 Million Schrödinger’s Occupation: Physicist/Author
Erwin Schrödinger may have been one of the most renowned physicists and philosophers in history, but we think even he would have been shocked to learn that he has a celebrity doppelgänger — actor James Woods.
Both have similarly shaped broad noses and expressive eyes. And while we don’t think Erwin had James’s signature voice or sense of humor, the two look extremely similar in many photos.
Molly Quinn and Catherine of Aragon
Quinn’s Net Worth: $3 Million Quinn’s Occupation: Actress Catherine of Aragon’s Net Worth: Unknown Catherine of Aragon’s Occupation: Queen of England
Comparing someone to a famous historical figure can always be a bit tricky. Thankfully, in the case of actress Molly Quinn, her famous doppelgänger is quite flattering. The “Castle” star looks extremely similar to what historians believe Catherine of Aragon looked like many centuries ago.
Both women rocked gorgeous flaming red locks with porcelain skin. But while Molly rules the small screen, Catherine once ruled one of the most powerful empires in the world!
Millie Bobby Brown and Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia
Brown’s Net Worth: $14 Million Brown’s Occupation: Actress Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia’s Net Worth: Unknown Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia’s Occupation: Duchess
Millie Bobby Brown may be one of the most popular stars in Hollywood, but her doppelgänger, duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, was once one of the most famous members of the Russian royal family.
Though an animated film, "Anastasia," has already been made about the doomed Russian royal, we think that the "Stranger Things" actress could easily play the famous figure in a historical drama!
Andy Samberg and Daniel Radcliffe and These Two Men From the ‘70s
Samberg’s Net Worth: $25 Million Radcliffe’s Net Worth: $110 Million Samberg’s Occupation: Actor/Comedian Radcliffe’s Occupation: Actor Men From the Yearbook’s Net Worth: Unknown Men From the Yearbook’s Occupation: Unknown
Looking at this photo, there’s no denying that these two men look extremely similar to actors Andy Samberg and Daniel Radcliffe. The only reason we know these are different people is that we know Radcliff grew up in England and Samberg grew up in America.
In fact, this image looks like a scene from a film starring the two actors as they go back to the ‘70s. We wonder if the men from this yearbook still look like their famous celebrity doppelgängers!
Thandiwe Newton and Queen Nefertiti
Newton’s Net Worth: $14 Million Newton’s Occupation: Actress/Model Nefertiti’s Net Worth: Unknown Nefertiti’s Occupation: Queen of Ancient Egypt
Let’s be honest — some comparisons to celebrities or famous figures are more flattering than others. If we have to be compared to someone else, at least let it be a fascinating historical figure like Queen Nefertiti.
Luckily for British actress Thandiwe Newton, she bears a striking resemblance to the ancient Egyptian ruler. Between their elegant profiles and almond-shaped eyes, the two women could be twins!
Tobias Menzies and Julius Caesar
Menzies’ Net Worth: $4 Million Menzies’ Occupation: Actor Caesar’s Net Worth: Unknown Caesars Occupation: Roman General/Statesman
It’s safe to say that British actor Tobias Menzies has made a career out of playing historical figures which is why it’s surprising that no one has considered casting him as Julius Caesar.
While we’re not sure exactly what Julius Caesar looked like, Tobias seems to resemble most artists’ interpretations of the famous Roman leader. We’re sure Tobias would be flattered to know that he resembles such an important figure in history!
Alfred Molina and Gioachino Antonio Rossini
Molina’s Net Worth: $10 Million Molina’s Occupation: Actor Rossini’s Net Worth: Unknown Rossini’s Occupation: Composer
Alfred Molina is one of the most celebrated actors working today. He also looks very much like the famed Italian composer Gioachino Antonio Rossini. Though we’re not sure if Alfred has the same ear for music, even we have to agree that the two men look very similar.
From their robust frames to their deep-set eyes, Alfred may want to do a bit of digging into his family history because his resemblance to the composer is quite obvious!
Morgan Freeman and Nelson Mandella
Freeman's Net Worth: $250 Million Freeman's Occupation: Actor Nelson Mandella Net Worth: $1 Million Nelson Mandella's Occupation: President of South Africa and political activist
Morgan Freeman has been adorning our screens for more than six decades, and we still don't understand how a Hollywood producer hasn't cast him to play the lead role in Nelson Mandella's biographical movie.
Morgan would for sure be honored to play the role of one of the greatest politicians in the world would. We also have a feeling the late Mandella would have been thrilled if a remarkable actor like Freeman would have taken the role.
James Franco and James Dean
James Franco's Net Worth: $30 Million James Franco's Occupation: Actor/Director James Dean's Net worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $2 Million James Dean's Occupation: Actor
James Franco is known for starring in the Spider-Man trilogy, "Milk" and "Eat, Pray, Love." He has managed to grasp numerous nominations and win a few on the way, but he never thought that he would resemble one of the greatest names the industry has known in such a significant way.
Whether you are a lover of Franco or a devoted fan of the almighty Dean, having Franco on our screens helps us dwell on the past and feel like he hasn't been gone for so many years.
Josh O'Connor and Young King Charles
Josh O'Connor's Net Worth: $1 Million Josh O'Connor's Occupation: Actor Young King Charles's Net Worth: $100 Million (as king, he is worth $600 million) Young King Charles's Occupation: King
Finding an actor who slipped so comfortably into his role is not something a casting director takes for granted. And when they find someone that not only performs spectacularly but also looks very much like the person he is supposed to portray — they have hit the jackpot.
The resemblance between Josh O'Connor and King Charles, as he looked in his younger years, is not something that can be ignored. Nor can the exceptional acting abilities O'Connor brings with him.
