Stars who could pass as twins: Celebrity lookalikes that will shock you

You aren’t imagining it and your eyes are definitely not playing tricks on you, these celebrities really do look identical.

In a world of eight billion people, chances are you’ve got your own twin out there somewhere, but for these icons, their doppelgänger happens to be stars as well.

And let's be honest, we have all been there, watching a show or a movie or just scrolling on the internet and calling a celebrity by the wrong name because they look uncannily similar to someone else.

It's surprising how many celebrities look alike. Some stars resemble each other so much that they could easily be mistaken for being related.

Logan Lerman and Dylan O’Brien

For over a decade Logan Lerman has been considered to be the ‘internet’s boyfriend.’

The 33-year-old star may still be one of internet’s favourite heartthrobs, but the Oh Hi! starrer left fans stunned after he revealed he often gets mistaken for someone else.

While talking to Bustle, Logan shared, "There are five people where we’re all interchangeable in people’s eyes."

"Dylan O’Brien, who’s one of my good, good friends, and I get it all the time. I get, 'You’re the 'Maze Runner', right?' I’m like, 'No, but thank you! I do love that guy. He’s a handsome dude,'" he playfully quipped.

He also went on to drop another name of a star who he often gets confused with, saying, "We get Dylan Minnette all the time, too."

Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley

It is quite hard to miss the striking resemblance between Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley.

Their strong similarity landed Keira her role of Sabé, in Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, playing Natalie’s double.

The 40-year-old English actress has expressed that she gets confused for the Black Swan star quite often. She went on to share a shocking incident, revealing once she was even chased through an airport by someone who mistook her for Natalie. 

Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice

Two different shows, two different actresses. Let's clear this up once and for all, Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice may only look alike but they are definitely not the same person.

However, both stars are aware of their uncanny resemblance. The Victorious alum even jokingly acknowledged their similar looks when she referred to The Vampire Diaries star as her doppelgänger on stage at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.

While presenting her the award for choice TV actress, sci-fi/fantasy, the 32-year-old actress and singer announced, "My doppelgänger, Nina Dobrev," before the 36-year-old Canadian actress joined her on stage.

Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey

Even Margot Robbie couldn’t deny her resemblance to the Sex Education star Emma Mackey, which is why she pushed to poke fun at it in the 2023 live-action Barbie movie

While speaking to Buzzfeed, the 35-year-old Australian star shared, "She plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because Greta Gerwig, (director) and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do this whole joke about us looking similar.”

However, the joke didn’t make the final cut as they realised that they didn’t look as identical as they first thought. "Once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, ‘We don’t actually look that similar.'"

Bailee Madison and Maia Mitchell

They may be years apart, but that hasn’t stopped fans confusing the two actresses, Bailee Madison and Maia Mitchell, for one another.

After playing sisters on The Fosters, fans couldn’t help but notice their resemblance.

They may not be related in real life, but they have nothing but admiration for each other, especially when someone mistakes them for the other.

The Good Trouble star once took to X, sharing a sweet photo of her meeting Bailee and penned, "Finally met this lovely girl and apparently long lost sister, @BaileeMadison. Feeling out. You're the best."

The 25-year-old actress also shared a playful tweet, which read, "#NationalSiblingsDay best sister twin ever @MaiaMitchell (I just had to) see you in a few days!Xoxo."

Bill Skarsgård and Steve Buscemi

Bill Skarsgård is no stranger to the comparisons drawn between him and Steve Buscemi.

The 34-year-old Swedish actor addressed their strikingly similar appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in 2019, saying he has been compared to the 67-year-old actor since childhood.

"I had big, soulful eyes,” he stated.

The It star went on to share an anecdote from his past, recalling, "I had a friend who even looked more like Steve Buscemi than I did, I thought. So, the running joke when we were growing up was, ‘No, you look like Steve Buscemi. No, you look like Steve Buscemi.'”
