Celebrities Separated at Birth

by junk-349 | created - 31 Jan 2011 | updated - 3 months ago | Public

Have you ever gotten confused and thought that one actor was another? Well this list is here to clean up all the mixups. Seriously, I think some of these people should demand DNA tests, just to be sure.

The list is constantly growing as I encounter more and more celebrity clones. So check back often to see the updates! Also, feel free to critique my choices or suggest any additional celeb lookalikes that you do not see here. They may be added to the list! :)

NOTE: The list is not in any particular order. I just add/remove as I see fit.

Perhaps the freakiest of them all, Zooey and Katy's resemblance is uncanny. I seriously don't know who is who. They also both spell their names funny.

His dramatic arc as heart patient Denny Duquette, who wins the heart of intern Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl) in a star-crossed romance, made him a universal fan favorite. He ...

I seriously thought Penelope Cruz was with this guy.

Referring to her younger days as Marsha Brady

EDIT: So for some unknown reason Maureen's picture has been removed/tampered with. But I don't want to take her off the list because Maureen's younger self IS SERIOUSLY CHRISTINE TAYLOR. Just google it folks until somebody fixes this silly goof.

6. Christine Taylor

She is known for acting in The Brady Bunch film series and for her collaborations with American filmmaker, actor and comedian Ben Stiller.

I don't know why but these two always confuse me. They don't even really look that alike in their respective imdb pictures... but I can never tell them apart so I guess there must be some underlying similarity there.

Plus, google has better comparison pics of them.

9. Jodie Sweetin

About 50 years ago, Robin Williams made a clone and didn't tell anyone about it. That clone is Bono from U2.

Leighton Marissa Meester was born in Fort Worth, Texas, to Constance Lynn (Haas) and Douglas Jay Meester. Although born in Texas, Meester spent her early years in Marco Island, Florida with her grandparents. There, she became involved with the local playhouse and made her stage debut in a ...

Seriously, were the casting people trying to purposely confuse us by casting virtually identical twins Leighton and Minka in the same movie so we wouldn't know who is who? Not cool, casting people, not cool.

18. Minka Kelly

Actress | The Roommate

Seriously, what's with all these Full House lookalikes? Oh yeah, and don't forget the Olsen twins too, they also look alike. Weeeiiirrrddd.

Is anyone thinking what I'm thinking? Full House 2.0- Evil Twin Edition.

20. Jeff Daniels

Both Natalie and Keira look so alike that they were both cast as Queen Amidala. When in costume, even their mothers couldn't tell them apart.

Thanks to Levitt, the beautiful Ledger face is still alive and making movies. :)

24. Heath Ledger

Actor | Brokeback Mountain

When hunky, twenty-year-old heart-throb Heath Ledger first came to the attention of the public in 1999, it was all too easy to tag him as a "pretty boy" and an actor of little depth. He spent several years trying desperately to sway this image, but this was a double-edged sword. His work comprised ...

25. Helen Hunt

Actress | As Good as It Gets

Helen Hunt began studying acting at the age of eight with her father, respected director and acting coach Gordon Hunt. A year later she made her professional debut and afterwards worked steadily in films, theatre and television.

As a toddler, she was already a compulsive performer, re-enacting TV commercials for her family's amusement, but she decided to ...

Since Penelope's beau's here (Javier Bardem), why not let her make the list as well with her lookalike Paz Vega?

30. Paz Vega

Actress | Spanglish

Paz Vega

A renowned international actress who has captivated audiences in Europe, North America, and Latin America with her talent and versatility in acting. After starting her career on the successful sitcom "Siete vidas", the Sevillian actress made the jump to the big screen with Julio Medem's "...

His career kicked off in his native Minnesota when he crashed the audition of a local stage production of "Biloxi Blues" and won ...

I think Steve looks like Colin Firth only a little more smushed down... almost as if you were to take the top of Firth's head and push it down towards his chin... does that make any sense?!

45. Hilary Swank

Hilary was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, to Judith Kay (Clough), a secretary, and Stephen Michael Swank, who served in the National Guard and was also a traveling salesman. Her maternal grandmother, Frances Martha Dominguez, was of Mexican descent, and her other roots include German, English, and ...

Okay so Hilary could have made it in the list alongside Jennifer Garner and Amy Jo Johnson, since I always thought they all had kind of the same look... But why put her alongside people she merely resembles, when we have here a dead ringer identical clone!?

46. Missy Peregrym

Actress | Stick It

She began her career in front of the camera at age 18, when she started modeling. The print advertisements soon turned into commercials for Mercedes Benz, ...

Paul grew up in Sarasota, Florida,...

I dunno why but I always figured that when Scabbers turned into Peter Pettigrew (Harry Potter for you non-readers) he would look something like either Reubens/Cumming. They really have that mousy/timid look going on, don't ya think?!

48. Alan Cumming

53. Peta Wilson

Actress | The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

With her distinctive voice, ultra-intense eyes and statuesque frame, Peta Wilson probably could have carried her breakout television show, "La Femme Nikita," on looks alone. Such was television in 1997. But when viewers realized that this killer- with-a-killer body could actually act, the show ...

54. Amy Smart

Actress | Starship Troopers

Amy Smart was born in Topanga Canyon, California to Judy, who worked at a museum, and John Boden Smart, a salesman. She has German, English, and Irish ancestry.

Lucas' film career began by accident in 1979 when a small Canadian film production shot on the tiny coastal South Carolina island, Sullivan's Island, where Lucas and his family lived. ...

Josh Lucas has that special type of face that can look like a lot of people. He can also really look like Bradley Cooper or Matthew Mcconaughey. I guess it depends on what type of mood you're in. Regardless, he is ALWAYS a dead-ringer for the ever-so-hunky legend Paul Newman.

What do think? Lucas = Newman? Lucas = Cooper? Lucas = Mcconaughey? Or Lucas = Someone Else? Post your answers in the comments!

56. Paul Newman

Actor | The Hustler

Meryl was born Mary Louise Streep in 1949 in Summit, New Jersey, to Mary Wolf (Wilkinson), a commercial artist, and Harry William ...

Similar to the example above, if I didn't know any better, I'd say "like mother like daughter." Nevermind that Streep already has a daughter who is virtually her clone.

62. Jennifer Ehle

Actress | Zero Dark Thirty

Jennifer Anne Ehle is an American actress, the daughter of English actress Rosemary Harris and American author John Ehle. She won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for her role as Elizabeth Bennet in the 1995 BBC miniseries Pride and Prejudice. For her work on Broadway, she won the 2000 Tony ...

Jennifer Ehle is shaping up to be quite a promising young actress. She already has the Meryl Streep look going on, so who's to say she can't have as promising a career?

She rose to fame in 2007 after winning the sixth season of American Idol at age 17, becoming the youngest winner in...

Nevermind that their pictures on imdb don't effectively illustrate their striking resemblance. Just take my word on it or any of the other 430948093 people who also think that Jordin Sparks and America Ferrera are practically identical twins.

66. America Ferrera

She is the daughter of Donna, a playwright and playwriting teacher at HB Studio in New York, and Albert A. De Matteo,...

The only reason these two haven't been on the list until now is that I never knew they were two separate people until a contributor pointed it out (thanks stephanie_wahlberg91!). Honestly, the face is the same and the name is practically the same, so how can you not get confused?!

70. Portia de Rossi

Actress | Arrested Development

Since we're clearly into Evil Twin Version 2.0 of TV shows/movies, it seems as though we have ourselves the alternate mirror world of Gossip Girl going on too.

72. Ian Somerhalder

Another like-father, like-son (pun intended) example pointed out by user tabita. Thanks!

Also fun to mention another similarity between the two: Both have three first names as a name! :P

I've never heard of these actors before but thank god they're actors so that they can qualify for the list! I find it mind-boggeling how two different sets of parents with their own unique makeup of genes can produce two non-related human beings who look so much alike!

Thanks to ldbeanie05 for the contribution!

So when user stephanie_wahlberg91 suggested this pair, I didn't have a mental image of what Kurt Russell looked like. So being the googler that I am, I went to the handy search site. Let me tell you-- there are pictures of half of Kurt's face paired with half of Bridges face and you CAN'T TELL IT'S TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE. This is beyond creepy. I suggest you check it out.

Once again, thanks stephanie_wahlberg91! :)

So the more I add people to this list, the more I wonder, are Hollywood agents purposely trying to collect an army of identical clones to act in movies/TV? Cause it's a cruel and unusual punishment to confuse the viewers with identical faces all the time. Do they not want any individuality in Hollywood?

Thanks alissa_grande for this addition!

Many thanks to the alert user tabita for suggesting this doppelganger! :)

Anna kind of looks like the child of Britney Spears and Jayma Mays to me, with Britney Spears' colorings and Jayma Mays' cutesiness (<--That's not a word, don't bother looking it up).

Langella and Lee really do look alike, but Lee has more evil looking features while Langella looks like a kind old man. Is Christopher Lee the true evil twin of Frank Langella in every sense of the word?

ADDED AS A 24 HOUR TEST RUN. Thanks tabita! :)

Gemma is like the more clean-cut version of Amanda. Here's a nice metaphor to help you understand what I mean: If Amanda were a diamond, she'd be the rough uncut version while Gemma would be the perfected more flawless diamond you'd buy at a jewelers store. :P

Sorry for the lame metaphor, too many hours of literature today!

The nerdy-good guy vibe is there. But I'm not sure about this coupling. Possibly another like-father, like-son pairing? ........................... Sooooo, I thought about it, and I like it here. Sure, they're not as identical as some of the others, but they do really seem related.
