Since everyone supposedly possesses a twin somewhere on Earth it appears reasonable that famous people would also possess their doppelgangers. A close resemblance to someone famous becomes an entirely different experience than having a casual likeness to your accountant. Standard citizens endure harassment from fans and paparazzi because they resemble major celebrities perfectly. Look at these bizarre resemblances then make your best effort to distinguish between them.
Angelina Jolie and This Mom
Melissa Baizen is just a regular, everyday mom from Wisconsin. Yet, random people constantly ask for her autograph. It turns out those confused fans are mistaking Baizen for another beautiful mother – Angelina Jolie!
Melissa modestly said, “Every time I get the comparison, whether it’s at work, running an errand, or online, it’s very flattering but also hard for me to believe. I think she is absolutely gorgeous and never thought of myself in that respect.”
Taylor Swift and This British Student
Laura Cadman often gets accused of imitating Taylor Swift’s look. But, in reality, the British student says that T-Swift’s makeup style is the most flattering for her face. That makes sense since Cadman and Swift look so much alike.
The doppelganger explained, “Nothing prompted me to have this look. I am naturally blonde, reasonably tall, and reasonably slim… The rest of my ‘Taylor Swift look’ just consists of classic red lipstick and eyeliner, which I personally think is the most flattering makeup on me.”
Leonardo DiCaprio and This Bartender
Konrad Annerud may look like Leonardo DiCaprio, but he doesn’t seem to enjoy young women’s attention as much as the actor does. The bartender explained, “It can be quite annoying sometimes when people call me Leo instead of my real name.”
He continued, “When I was in Italy this summer I almost felt like shaving my hair off. It was very chaotic; people were yelling ‘Leo’ and wanted to take photos with me all the time. It was one of the craziest things I’ve ever experienced.”
Meghan Markle and This Flight Attendant
Flight attendant Christine Math had been routinely mistaken for Meghan Markle ever since the ex-royal was on Suits. However, now that Markle has become a household name, Math can barely go a single day without hearing about the comparison!
That said, Christine disagrees that she’s the star’s doppelgänger. Instead, she thinks it’s just an issue of one specific similarity. She explained, “Meghan and I are both mixed-race – my dad is African American and Italian and her mom is African American.”
Scarlett Johansson and This Russian Model
Ekaterina Shumskaya is a model who’s been told she looks like Scarlett Johansson ever since she was 12 years old. As flattering as such a comparison is, Shumskaya is finding it difficult to pave her own way in modeling, because people keep confusing her with the actress.
Ekaterina explained, “There are people on the internet who confuse me with Scarlett, but I’m not pretending to be her… We just look alike… I want to live my own life, not Scarlett’s.”
Keanu Reeves and This Actor
Marcos Jeeves (not his real name) not only looks like Keanu Reeves but seems to have a similar good-guy personality type as well. Jeeves insists that he’ll never “use the fact of looking like him [Reeves] to take advantage of any situation.” The resemblance is so freaky, that Facebook even removed Marcos’s account, thinking it was a fake!
The everyday man sued the social media platform and won, so hopefully this mistake won’t happen again. Does anyone else think there’s been a glitch in the Matrix?
Beyoncé and This Instagrammer
Brittany Williams suffers all the drawbacks of being as famous as Beyoncé but, unfortunately, doesn’t have the bank account to match it. Williams says that people constantly approach her for selfies, thinking that she’s Queen Bey.
The Detroiter has said, “I get approached all the time; whether it be on planes, at the airport, or while attending events. I’ve also been chased, had pictures taken of me without my consent, and pranks done without me knowing.”
Rihanna and This TikToker
Priscila Beatrice posted a TikTok of herself impersonating Rihanna, and it garnered so much attention that RiRi herself commented on it! The pop star wanted to know when the next Rihanna album was coming out (don’t we all?) – a question which left Beatrice “crying with emotion.”
The TikToker beamed, “I love it when they say I look like her. Rihanna is a big inspiration to me and so many other women around the world. She’s wonderful!”
Ariana Grande and This Stylish Girl
Ariana Grande is one of those celebrities with a signature style, making it pretty easy to imitate her look. If you ever want to dress up as the pop star for Halloween, just throw on some thigh-high boots, put your hair in a high ponytail or half-ponytail, and apply a bit too much spray tan.
If you really want to fool people, though, you’ll have to be Jacky Vasquez. The young woman revealed, “I have been mistaken for Ariana a couple times. People asked me to take pictures with them.”
Ed Sheeran and This Clone
Ty Jones always wanted to be a famous actor, and he got his wish – at least on the famous front. The young Brit is constantly being confused for another British ginger, Ed Sheeran.
Jones revealed that his non-celebrity life is pretty similar to that of the singer. “I’ve had crazy numbers of fans follow me in Hackney, in London, and in Los Angeles, to the point where the team I was working with have had to help me make a dramatic escape plan.”
Adele and This Swedish Woman
Ellinor Hellborg often posts makeup looks inspired by various celebs on her social media. However, it’s her Adele-style photos that really caught the internet’s attention!
Hellborg admitted, “I had thought about looking similar to Adele before, noticing small similarities in our profiles, but I didn’t really think anything of it until people on Instagram started commenting on it.” Ellinor has also tried to imitate Zooey Deschanel’s appearance but wasn’t as successful with it. Either way, Katy Perry’s already got that similarity covered!
