Since there are over 7 billion people in the world, it's likely that some of us will share a resemblance. In case you ever saw someone on the street that looks exactly like someone else you know, then you're surely aware of what we mean. But what happens when you happen to look exactly like a celebrity?
Celebrity doppelgangers can sometimes build a whole career based on the similarities they share with their "twin" celebrities. We have included all the best-known celebrity lookalikes in this list, and you will not believe just how identical these people are to some of the world's most famous faces.
George Clooney and Guillermo Zapata
George Clooney is one of a kind, right? He's known to all the ladies thanks to his charm, grey hair, and seductive maturity. But even the Money Monster star can't get away with not having a doppelganger, and a celebrity at that. His name is Guillermo Zapata, an aspiring actor from Argentina.
Zapata traveled to the United States when he was just 22 in order to attempt a career in movies but ended up working as a model. However, the thing that made him famous was his reputation of being the "Argentinian George Clooney", a title he embraced in several interviews and public appearances.
Kate Middleton and Heidi Egan
Heidi Egan was just a waitress living a normal life when Kate Middleton fully came into the limelight as Prince William's lady love. It was then that Heidi realized that she looked exactly like the Duchess of Cambridge, and she saw it as a way of making money.
You can already guess what happened next in Heidi Egan's life: she quit her job and started an Instagram account aptly named "katemiddletonlookalike". Now, she makes a living by doing public appearances and sharing pictures where she tries to imitate her famous "twin sister". She even shared a couple of pictures where she appears next to a Prince William lookalike.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Konrad Annerud
Konrad Annerud is definitely one of the most impressive doppelgangers in our list. He's so similar to the legendary actor Leonardo DiCaprio that he was at one point chased on the streets of Italy by a bunch of desperate Titanic fans.
Annerud, who is originally from Sweden, works as a model and musician, and we have no doubt that he's very popular with the ladies. Thanks to his stunning looks and almost unbelievable similarities with DiCaprio, Konrad has now over 150k followers on Instagram. Just when the original Leo is about to turn 45 years old, the world has graced us with a brand-new one (sort of).
Lady Gaga and Amethyst Rose
Looking at both pictures, can you tell for sure who's Lady Gaga and who's Amethyst Rose? We had to take a second look in order to make the distinction, but that's understandable. After all, Amethyst Rose has been making an effort to look like Gaga in her Instagram pictures ever since she became aware of their resemblance.
Thanks to her beautiful green eyes and make-up skills, the young Amethyst is now an Internet sensation who's deeply involved in her being a celebrity doppelganger. Her similarities with the Poker Face singer have earned her a good slice of fame, with several mentions in articles online and over 5.8K followers on Instagram.
Gigi Hadid and Iza Ijzerman
Yes, the two beautiful women in the photos above are actually two different people. On one side, there's Gigi Hadid, one of the world's most famous beauty icons and models with a tremendous fanbase on Instagram and a captive place on Models.com's Top 50.
On the other side, there's Iza Ijzerman. She's a plus-size model from the Netherlands who the Internet is calling "a new curvy Gigi Hadid". She works as a blogger in her native country and shares all the characteristic features of her "twin celebrity"—lush pouty lips, stunning blue eyes, and perfectly-shaped eyebrows.
Victoria Beckham and Camilla Shadbolt
Victoria Beckham is one of the United Kingdom's most beloved, controversial, and popular celebrities. She's also imitated by one of the most hardworking doppelgangers in our list, Camilla Shadbolt. Her occupation for the last 6 years? Being a professional Victoria Beckham lookalike.
Camilla is a pro in the art of cashing in on her similarities with Posh Spice, and her portfolio includes several TV appearances and even some movie cameos. She's collaborated with Andy Harmer, who's a well-known David Beckham doppelganger, in a couple of events. Who would've guessed that you can actually invite over Mr. & Mrs. Beckham to your next event?
Lily-Rose Depp and Kristina McNabb
Back when Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis welcomed a daughter, we already knew she was going to grow up to become a beautiful woman. With genes like that, was there really another option? However, we could've never guessed that in New Zealand, on the other side of the world, there would be a teenager who would look exactly like Lily-Rose Depp.
Her name is Kristina McNabb, and she currently works as a young YouTuber, mostly releasing videos about make-up. Her similarities with the 20-year-old French-American actress were made clear by some of the comments on her videos. She's still fairly unknown on social media, however.
Gordon Ramsay and Martin Jordan
Having the face of famous TV chef Gordon Ramsay can really change your life. If you don't believe us, just ask Martin Jordan! He's a Ramsay doppelganger who's working as a professional celebrity lookalike. He has been featured in Britain's Got Talent all because he looks almost exactly like the foul-mouthed culinary master from Hell's Kitchen.
Right now, Jordan has a website where anyone (you included) can book him for private parties, photo sessions, and even "mix and mingle". We hope he's working on his lines because Gordon Ramsay is no fun without his signature swearing and the screaming.
Beyoncé and Brittany Williams
Brittany Williams is a woman from Detroit who's recently made the news after a group of women, who confused her for Beyoncé, demanded her to sing Single Ladies. In fact, she claims that she's been mixed up with the Halo singer ever since she can remember and that she was forced to take multiple pictures with unknowing fans throughout her life.
There's no bigger compliment than being confused with someone like Beyoncé, but Brittany admits she can sometimes get tired of the mistaken identity. Despite that, she's confessed to being a major Beyoncé fan as she's inspired by her strong presence and success.
Bradley Cooper and The Katzenbach Twins
Bradley Cooper's doppelganger story takes things to another level. His face was not only copied by nature once but twice! He's graced with two doppelgangers, known as the Katzenbach twins, and the similarities between the three are almost unbelievable.
These three look so much alike that Cooper has even invited the twins to the set of The Hangover Part II. Can you imagine walking in a place to find these three sitting next to each other? Matt Katzenback was even given the chance to enter the Sundance Film Festival, where he was obviously mistaken with the Silver Linings Playbook actor by basically everyone.
Ryan Gosling and Johannes Laschet
The thing about Johannes Laschet that makes him a Ryan Gosling doppelganger isn't exactly his face but rather his manner. In his Instagram account (that has over 80k followers), the fashion blogger and law scholar from Germany considered himself to be a classic menswear enthusiast.
In his social media pictures, Laschet looks exactly like the La La Land star because he's striking the right pose, wearing the right clothes, and using a nice pair of sunglasses. Ryan Gosling has recently portrayed the famous American astronaut Neil Armstrong in the 2018 movie First Man.
Katy Perry and Francesca Brown
Francesca Brown, the notable Katy Perry doppelganger, rose to fame after posing alongside her "twin" celebrity in a Los Angeles premiere. In a 2015 interview with ELLE, she discussed how looking so much like Perry almost ruined her acting career in London.
Fortunately, things are going great for Francesca, who's made appearances in movies like The Hunter's Moon, Breathe, Legacy, and Tide of Whispers. Additionally, she was rightfully included in a couple of episodes of Lookalikes, a reality TV show from the United Kingdom that follows the day-to-day of a celebrity doppelgangers agency run by Andy Harmer, the well-known David Beckham impersonator.
Cara Delevingne and Olivia Herdt
Back in 2015, Cara Delevigne was the new face in Hollywood that everyone was excited about. The Paper Towns star was starting to make waves in the world of Hollywood as a brand-new addition to the celebrity A-list and as a teen icon and fashion influencer.
If there's someone who's enjoying Delevigne's striking success, that's the musician and Instagram model Olivia Herdt. She turned into an Internet sensation thanks to her similarities with the Enchantress from Suicide Squad, and she's been working hard to maintain a considerable fan base of over 50k followers on Instagram.
Gaten Matarazzo and mermaid sade's Nephew
Gaten Matarazzo is one of the young stars of the web series Stranger Things. Playing the role of Dustin in the Netflix hit show, he's only starting his acting career but his work has already earned him a legion of fans. We're sure there's a bright future ahead for this young star in the industry.
In fact, Gaten's already got his first doppelganger: the nephew of Twitter user "mermaid sade". Though his name is still unknown, he's already turning viral due to his similarities to the 17-year-old Broadway actor. Dustin's hat kind of ties the whole picture together, and the two look incredibly similar.
Emma Watson and Megan Flockhart
Megan Flockhart became famous for being a Disneybounder. Disneybounding is a sub-category of cosplaying that's directed at Disney and that focuses on ways of incorporating influences from the animated characters into everyday costumes and styles.
Flockhart became especially popular thanks to the fact that she looks a lot like Emma Watson. These similarities have helped her to amass over 30k followers on Instagram and to receive praise from personalities like actor Josh Gad and best-selling author J.K. Rowling. Megan Flockhart can be seen cosplaying some of Emma Watson's most famous movie characters like Harry Potter's Hermione Granger or Belle from The Beauty and the Beast.
Miley Cyrus and Mardee Shackleford
We're not surprised to see that Mardee Shackleford, who happens to look almost exactly like Miley Cyrus, has collected over 24k followers on Instagram. In some of her best pictures, she's impossible to distinguish from the girl who brought us Wrecking Ball and portrayed Hannah Montana back in the good old days of Disney Channel.
As Miley Cyrus is announced as a new guest judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, Shackleford will have yet another opportunity to grow her fanbase. Despite the obvious similarities, there's no reference to Miley Cyrus on Mardee's Instagram as she prefers to focus on her decade-long vegan lifestyle.
Ed Sheeran and Ty Jones
Ty Jone's life was turned upside down back when he was just a regular student at his local high school. The reason? The rise to fame of a young musician called Ed Sheeran, who happened to look exactly like him.
Red hair? Check. Black square glasses? Check! Even Ty's nose and face are shaped exactly like Sheeran's. Jones calls himself "Ed Sheeran's evil twin brother". He has shared in an interview that he is often confused with the star who brought us Shape of You and that sometimes he's not brave enough to confess to the anxious people who ask him for a picture on the street that he's actually not the Perfect singer.
Taylor Swift and April Gloria
Taylor Swift is a celebrity of elite status, and she completely dominates the social media and celebrity news thanks to her flawless looks and style and some of the most emotive pop ballads of the 21st century.
As Taylor's preparing to promote her newest record, 2019's Lover, April Gloria is collecting the rewards of looking a lot like one of the planet's biggest music stars. What will looking like Taylor Swift earn you besides a boost in confidence and a lot of compliments? In Gloria's case, overnight success and an impressive number of almost 110k followers on Instagram.
Liam Hemsworth and Karen Khachanov
Liam Hemsworth's doppelganger is a very special one. He's actually a professional tennis player from Russia who has collected almost $7 million in prize earnings and has earned a place in the singles top 10 ranking. He ranked as the 8th best male tennis player in the world on July 15, 2019.
That's why, if you're from Russia, you will probably say that Liam Hemsworth's actually Karen Khachanov's doppelganger. They both look a lot alike, but they are also both very successful in their life's endeavors. We would absolutely love to see these two playing a friendly tennis match.
Reese Witherspoon and Marilee Lessley
Don't get fooled by Marilee Lessley's pretty face. She's an audacious stuntwoman and body-double working in Hollywood who happens to be the perfect on-camera replacement for Reese Witherspoon. They look so much alike that it's almost impossible to notice the difference; especially in a fast-paced action scene in a movie.
Witherspoon turned into an international star after starring in movies like Legally Blonde and Walk the Line. In 2019, she worked on the second season of Big Little Lies, a hit-show TV show produced by HBO with a star-filled cast that also includes Nicole Kidman and Shailene Woodley.
Selena Gomez and Sofia Solares
Teen idol Selena Gomez is admired for her looks, her past work on Disney Channel, her music, and her convincing performances in movies like Harmony Korine's Spring Breakers and Getaway. But did you know that there's a Mexican Selena Gomez who's starting to make waves on the Internet?
Her name is Sofia Solares, and she's an Instagrammer who experienced a major bump in popularity after a publication in Cosmopolitan. Now, the Selena Gomez lookalike has almost 760k followers and was already interviewed by E! On Instagram. Sofia describes herself as a lifestyle, fashion, and make-up lover, and it's likely that her impressive looks will continue to help her thrive on social media.
Adele and Ellinor Hellborg
Like many make-up lovers on Instagram, Ellinor Hellborg spent most of her time trying out new looks, many times inspired by celebrities, in order to showcase her skills. Back in 2016, she caused a sensation on the Internet after posting a picture where she was trying to mimic Adele's style.
The reason why this picture was so popular is very clear: Hellborg looks almost exactly like the woman who brought us the hit song Rolling in the Deep, and her followers noticed it very quickly! Now, Ellinor continues to post make-up related pictures on social media and has a growing fan base of over 21k followers.
Ariana Grande and Jacky Vasquez
Ariana Grande was already famous before becoming a teenager, but now she's bigger than ever! Her transition from being a cute Disney Channel star to being a sultry chart-topper has resulted in a popularity bump that's turned her into one of the biggest celebrities in the world right now.
Jacky Vasquez, a famous Ariana impersonator, is certainly hoping to continue to cash in on some of that success as she reached almost 200k followers on Instagram and was featured in magazines like Cambio, J14, and Seventeen. Before becoming an overnight social media sensation, Jacky played the violin and was involved in TV production.
Kim Kardashian and Kamilla Osman
To be fair, there are thousands of Kim Kardashian doppelgangers out there. She dominates social media and is probably the most influential person behind the new wave of Instagram-based models and neo-celebrities. But it's not easy to look like Kim. And that's what made Kamilla Osman, a Canadian-raised woman of Azerbaijani descent, so famous!
She looks exactly like the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, especially if seen from the correct angle. She even fixed her lips through surgery in order to look more like her. Her undeniable efforts and striking resemblance to Kim K. have earned her over 770k followers on social media.
Chloe Grace Moretz and Edcel Ched
We live in a wonderful world. Edcel Ched was just a young woman from the Philippines until she was spotted by a fan who realized that she looked exactly like Chloe Grace Moretz. The resemblance was even noticed by Moretz herself as she decided to honor Ched with a shoutout on Instagram that, as you've already probably guessed, completely changed her life.
Looking like the Greta star is most likely an amazing feeling since she's absolutely stunning! Later this year, fans will be able to hear Moretz's voice in the 2019 animated movie The Addams Family. She's currently involved in the production of the Tom and Jerry movie, which will be released in 2021.
Kendall Jenner and Kate Bogucharskaia
Kendall Jenner is almost too good to be real. Raised in the Kardashian-Jenner household, she has a complete understanding of how the world of fame works. That's what turned her into the world's highest-paid model in 2018; that's impressive even if you don't have a thing for steamy Instagram pictures!
On the other hand, there's Kate Bogucharskaia. The Kendall doppelganger is a stunning model from Russia who's certainly making a profit out of her resemblance to Jenner, but that's mainly focused on having a serious career on the runway. Things are going great for her since she's already working with brands like Chloe and Louis Vuitton.
Zayn Malik and Flamur Ukshini
After leaving the boyband One Direction, Zayn Malik started making a name for himself and invested in what's so far been a very successful solo career. But his genes have somehow traveled all the way to Kosovo, a fairly new country in Eastern Europe, and his legion of fans quickly noticed it.
Flamur Ukshini is a model and social media personality who's popularity is booming on the Internet ever since he was named Malik's doppelganger. His numbers are incredible since he has around 244k followers on Instagram. He's currently living in Germany.
Angelina Jolie and Veronika Black
Angelina Jolie is still being recognized as one of the world's most beautiful women, and she's inspired a legion of doppelgangers too. However, there's probably no other person in the world as similar to Angelina as Veronika Black. When striking the right pose, she looks almost exactly like the Maleficent actress.
Black is certainly aware of that fact since she made a career out of it. She works as a photography model and has a penchant for posting steamy pictures of her in revealing clothes on Instagram. In 2016, following Jolie's divorce, Veronika publicly commented that she was single and available for a date with Brad Pitt!
Jennifer Lopez and Janice Garay
Jennifer Lopez is one of the world's biggest stars, with a solid career as an actress, singer, and businesswoman. J-Lo's doppelganger, Janice Garay, went viral in 2017 after sharing a couple of pictures on Instagram. But at that point, she wasn't even aware she looked like the woman who brought us Jenny From The Block.
Garay works as a bodybuilder and has been sharing pictures on Instagram since 2016. Her similarities with Lopez have dramatically increased her popularity, and she now has more than 200K followers and a sponsorship deal with Vanquish Fitness.
Prince Harry and Matt Hicks
The United Kingdom loves reality TV as much as the United States, but they love their royalty even more. When I Wanna Marry Harry premiered, the world was introduced to Matt Hicks. He's a fairly normal guy if it wasn't for one small detail: he looks almost exactly like Prince Harry.
But just like the Duke of Sussex's bachelor days are over, so is Matt Hicks' career as a celebrity doppelganger. He's now enjoying the company of his family and has described himself on Instagram as an "amateur adventurer" and "aspiring photographer". Good for him for not trying to cash in on his similarities with a royal family member!
