Researchers say that there is a one in a trillion chance of finding your doppelganger, but Hollywood seems to be full of them. Maybe it’s the glamor and the fame, but these 13 pairs of celebrities share an unlikely resemblance to each other. 

1. Amy Adams and Isla Fisher

Amy Adams plays a variety of roles between drama, action, and comedy, and she’s a very highly paid actress. She plays in multiple superhero movies and feature films such as Batman, Catch Me If You Can, Vice, and Her. You might easily mix her up with Australian actress, Isla Fisher. Some of her movies include Keeping Up with the Joneses, Confessions of a Shopaholic, Bachelorette, and more. 

2. Nicki Minaj and Cardi B

If I’m being honest, I have a hard time telling these two apart, because not only do they look alike, but they’re both well-known female rappers, who carry themselves in a similar way. They’re both outspoken, vulgar, and bold. Some of Minaj’s popular songs areSuper Bass,” “Bang Bang,” and “Anaconda,” and Cardi B sings “I Like It,” “No Limit,” “She Bad,” and “Girls Like You.” 

3. Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley

Natalie Portman is an Israeli-American actress with an education from Harvard, and some of her films include Thor, Black Swan, V for Vendetta, and No Strings Attached. Her Hollywood twin is Keira Knightley, who you might recognize from Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride & Prejudice, and Love Actually. Fun fact: Kiera Knightley actually played Natalie Portman’s body double in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, standing in as queen, while Portman’s Padme Amidala worked with the Jedi. 

4. Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard

Chastain and Howard share an uncanny resemblance, and both play a role in the movie The Help. Jessica Chastain plays in several other films such as Interstellar, Ava, and Zero Dark Thirty, while Bryce Dallas Howard stars in movies including Jurassic World, Rocketman, and The Village

5. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem

Jeffrey Dean Morgan is well-known for his role as John Winchester in the fantasy horror series Supernatural. While he may not share the same nationality, he looks remarkably similar to Spanish actor Javier Bardem, who has played in movies like Skyfall, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Eat, Pray, Love. 

6. Jennifer Connelly and Demi Moore

The beautiful Jennifer Connelly is most recognized for her role in the highly acclaimed Top Gun: Maverick. She might often be mixed up with Demi Moore, another successful actress, who played in movies such as Ghost, The Scarlet Letter, and LOL. 

7. Zoe Saldana and Thandie Newton

Saldana plays in Guardians of the Galaxy and Avatar as non-human characters, but her true self looks very similar to Thandie Newton, a British actress. Newton has been in films including West World and Mission Impossible II. 

8. Jordin Sparks and America Ferrera

At age 17, Jordin Sparks won Season 6 of American Idol. Since then, she has had a successful singing career. She and actress America Ferrera look so much alike. Ferrera is best known for her role as Ugly Betty.

9. Chelsea Handler and Elizabeth Banks

Another set of look-alikes is Chelsea Handler and Elizabeth Banks. Handler is a comedian and actress. Elizabeth Banks is an actress in movies such as Hunger Games, Charlie’s Angels, and Pitch Perfect.

10. Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon

I can’t be the only one who sees the resemblance between these two. Wahlberg is an actor in movies like Uncharted, Father Stu, and Ted. Matt Damon plays in several action movies such as Jason Bourne and The Martian. Like Natalie Portman, Damon also got an education from Harvard. 

11. Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly

Margot Robbie will be starring in the 2023 film, Barbie. Or is that Jaime Pressly? No, Pressly is best known for playing Joy Turner on the series My Name Is Earl. Both have a stunning resemblance to one another. 

12. Emma Mackey and Margot Robbie

Maybe Margot Robbie just has a familiar face, because she also looks very much like Emma Mackey. Mackey is a French-British actress, who plays in the Netflix series Sex Education. 

13. Zach Braff and Dax Shepard

These two are one of my favorite comparisons because, without clarification, I have a very hard time telling them apart. Braff plays on the popular series Scrubs and the recent remake of Cheaper by the Dozen. He’s the former long-time boyfriend of Florence Pugh. Dax Shepard is husband to Kristen Bell, and is an actor and comedian. He played on TV shows like The Ranch, Parenthood, and Bless This Mess.

Closing Thoughts

Starting to feel like you’re seeing double? There might be a statistically small chance of finding your un-biological twin, but Hollywood has a way of shining a light on people. Though they all look similar, it’s fascinating that some come from other countries, or have very different lifestyles. So the next time you see a movie with one of these familiar faces, don’t forget that it could be their celebrity twin.
