Jeremy Allen White and Gene Wilder
Brightcast Media
No, Jeremy Allen White and Gene Wilder are not related at all. Although looking at the two, we wouldn’t blame you for thinking otherwise. At this point, Jeremy Allen White needs little to no introduction. For those who aren’t aware, White currently stars in hit TV show The Bear which has won numerous accolades including six awards at the 75th Emmy Awards for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, and many more. He also has starred in major hit projects such as the Showtime series Shameless.
Similarly, Gene Wilder needs no introduction himself. While he may be known to many as the original Willy Wonka in 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, he has starred in other legendary films such as Blazing Saddles and The Producers.
Logan Marshall-Green and Tom Hardy

There’s a clear likeness between English actor Tom Hardy and Rhode Island native Logan Marshall-Green. LMG has been a character acting dating back to 2003. You’ve seen him in several projects ranging from television to film. Among them include 24, Big Sky, The O.C., Across The Universe, and Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Of course, Hardy has been critically acclaimed for a plethora of strong performances. An intense and sometimes intimidating performer, you can truly feel Hardy’s emotion popping off the screen with a real fervor. Black Hawk Down, Bronson, The Dark Knight Rises, Dunkirk, and The Revenant are only a few of these sparkling performances.
Jennifer Lawrence and Bella Hadid

There’s an undeniable similarity between socialite/model Bella Hadid and actress Jennifer Lawrence. The daughter of a Palestinian businessman and a Dutch model, Hadid has long been in the limelight. Her family has been featured in various reality shows, and Hadid herself has carved out a very successful career for herself as one of the most famous models on Earth.
Lawrence hails from the great state of Kentucky. The Louisville native was a child actress on various sitcoms before really emerging in film as an A-Lister. Silver Linings Playbook was her breakout role as a dramatic actress. From there, Lawrence has starred in American Hustle and Joy (among other projects).
Richard Madden and Gus Kenworthy

Richard Madden (pictured right) is one of those familiar faces you’ve most certainly seen on the silver screen. He played a rather unsavory character in Rocketman (the Elton John-themed film). However, the Scottish actor is likely most known as Robb Stark in Game of Thrones. Madden was also terrific in the series Bodyguard.
Gus Kenworthy (pictured left) hails from England originally — though he and his family moved to the United States when he was just a toddler. Growing up in Colorado, Kenworthy became an exceptional skier. He did represent Great Britain in one competition. However, he switched to Team USA where he ultimately won a Silver Medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympic Games.
Zach Braff and Dax Shepard

These two could be brothers! Both are exceptionally funny, charismatic, and wholesome guys with very loyal fan bases. Dax Shepard (pictured left) is more of a comedic actor with tons of appearances in different big-time projects (among them, Parenthood and The Ranch). More recently, Shepard has been exploding in the world of podcasts with his show Armchair Expert.
Zach Braff broke out with the quirky comedy Scrubs — and followed that up with notable performances in Garden State and BoJack Horseman. As his career has developed, Braff has transitioned more and more towards a behind-the-camera capacity. He even directed an episode of the hit show Ted Lasso.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem

Now, these two legitimately look to be related (despite Bardem hailing from Spain — and Morgan being born and raised in Seattle). A man of many talents growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Morgan ended up moving down to LA where he pursued gigs in both television and film. Of course, most know him as Negan in The Walking Dead. But he was also a regular in The Good Wife and Grey’s Anatomy.
Without a doubt, Bardem is one of the best actors in this generation. He’s been nominated for four Academy Awards in total (winning one for his role in No Country For Old Men). Married to fellow actor Penelope Cruz, Bardem continues to star in projects that millions across the globe enjoy on an annual basis.
Millie Bobby Brown and Halsey

The transformations of both Halsey and Millie Bobby Brown have been quite profound. Stranger Things was the platform for Brown to showcase her immense ability on screen. She portrays the mysterious Eleven — and has since she was a young girl. As she’s now become a young adult, Brown’s range as an actress has expanded to more serious projects with more serious content matter.
Halsey had an atypical upbringing which involved some real issues in her private life. Living on the East Coast, she was able to push those aside and let her vocal talent shine in a massive way. Since overcoming everything in her life, Halsey has become a massive pop star.
Ed Sheeran and Prince Harry

There are three defining characteristics linking these two individuals: fame, red hair/blue eyes, and both hail from the U.K. Prince Harry grew up in the limelight his entire life (as a part of the Royal Family). He’s since left England and now resides reportedly close to Santa Barbara (in Southern California). Ed Sheeran has built a lofty career for himself which includes a multitude of Grammy Awards and adoration from millions across the planet.
Ed Sheeran and Rupert Grint

There’s a clear likeness here between both performers. We’ve spoken in the previous slide about Sheeran’s exploits as one of the biggest singers within the pop genre. Speaking of pop culture over the last 20ish years, Rupert Grint has been firmly engrained into the era. He played the plucky sidekick Ron Weasley in the iconic book series-turned-film series focused on the exploits of a young wizard named Harry Potter.
Even though Grint continues to act and has branched away from the franchise, he’ll still always be known by many as ‘Ron’.
Niall Horan and Allen Leech

Even if you’re not a music lover, the band One Direction is surely a group you’ve heard of before. In the post-Boy Band era, One Direction might’ve been the biggest entity since the days of *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. One of those members is Niall Horan (pictured left). Hailing from Ireland, the 29-year-old musician has gone solo and is currently experiencing some real success.
Also coming from Ireland is actor Allen Leech. You may first recognize him from his role in Bohemian Rhapsody (as one of Freddie Mercury’s closest allies). He also is a fixture in Downton Abbey as Tom Branson.
Sophia Bush and Katharine McPhee

These two beauties have been performing on stage for quite some time. Katharine McPhee (left) grew up in a suburb of Los Angeles. She first became known from her spot on American Idol. From there, McPhee’s career skyrocketed — as she both sang and acted in several very successful projects. She’s currently married to famed musical genius David Foster.
Bush — on the other hand — is more so known for her roles in the realm of acting. Brooke on One Tree Hill is most likely the role she’s most known for. Since then, the Southern California native has featured in various films (John Tucker Must Die, Marshall, Incredibles 2) over the years. There’s no denying the similarities between the two!
Carla Bruni and Bella Hadid

If one didn’t know better, you’d legitimately think both of these stunning women are related. Bruni and Hadid do have some similarities. As you’d expect, both are fashion icons having modeled for quite some time. Bruni has Italian heritage and grew up mostly in France. Much of her career professionally has been spent modeling across Europe. However, she’s also acted in several projects — and has cultivated a nice career as a singer. Bruni is currently married to former French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
Alex Daddario and Tiffany Thiessen

For one generation, Kelly Kapowski was the dream girl for millions of people tuning in to watch Saved By The Bell. The actress who played Kapowski — Tiffani Thiessen — was the ‘it’ girl for a long spell from the late ’80s well into the ’90s. Her big blue eyes and iconic chestnut brown hair made her quite popular.
Actress Alex Daddario cultivated a similar following a generation later with strikingly similar looks herself. Daddario has been featured in children’s films, adult comedies, dramatic roles, and pretty much everything in between.
Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman

Keira Knightley exploded onto the scene in the early 2000’s — starring in Bend It Like Beckham where she played the sidekick to a girl who was hiding the fact from her parents that she was secretly playing soccer. Knightley continued on to what’s been a very lucrative film career. Among her next big projects included Love Actually and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Portman is among the better actors on the planet. Since she was a little girl, we’ve seen her take the silver screen in such films as Leon: The Professional, Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, V For Vendetta, Closer, and Black Swan.
Kacey Musgraves and Kyle Richards

Another mother and daughter duo? Not quite! Kyle Richards was a child actress-turned-reality television star. You can routinely see her on Bravo! as a member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She’s very family-oriented and is quite fashionable in the process. Musgraves is a very accomplished country music star — with seven Grammy Award wins throughout her career.
Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer
GLAAD2020/Getty Images for GLAAD, Taylor Hill/FilmMagic
We’ve seen numerous iterations of Superman over the years. The most recent version of the famed superhero is portrayed by Henry Cavill. The English actor has been a fixture in film and television for nearly 20 years. The Tudors, The Witcher, Enola Hughes, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., and the aforementioned Superman are among his biggest achievements and accomplishments.
Fellow lookalike Matt Bomer is also an actor. His career arc is fascinating– as he went from a soap opera actor to one who dabbled in the realms of dramatic television and film. Bomer is highly versatile and has played several very captivating roles (which even includes time on Broadway as a theater actor).
Thandiwe Newton and Zoe Saldana

Oftentimes, Thandiwe Newton and Zoe Saldana are mistaken for one another. Both are beautiful actresses with a long list of highly popular and successful projects. Hailing from England, Newton has garnered massive praise for her roles in the likes of Crash, Westworld, Mission: Impossible 2. and The Pursuit of Happyness.
Saldana is one of the primary stars of the Avatar franchise. From Scratch was a highly popular series shown on Netflix, and Saldana was also featured in Avengers: Endgame. She split her time growing up in both New Jersey/New York and the Dominican Republic.
Victoria Justice and Nina Dobrev

These two virtually look like twins. Victoria Justice (pictured right) was a child actor. She primarily featured on Nickelodeon as one of their headlining leads. Along with that, the Florida native has since appeared in a plethora of noteworthy shows in the form of cameos. She’s also cultivated a rather nice music career for herself.
Bulgarian-Canadian actress/model Nina Dobrev has featured in a number of shows which people absolutely love. Among them, are Degrassi: The Next Generation and The Vampire Diaries. Most recently, the 33-year-old has entered into a relationship with Olympic athlete Shaun White.
Emma Mackey and Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie has turned into a legitimate superstar within the world of acting. Hailing originally from Australia, she has since acted with true heavyweights in the industry. We’re talking about the likes of Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Saoirse Ronan, Charlize Theron, and Nicole Kidman (among others). Her two Oscar nominations came in I, Tonya (where she portrayed Tonya Harding) and Bombshell (where she portrayed an employee of Fox News).
Mackey was born to an English mother and a French father. Being bilingual (growing up in both countries), Mackey has performed professionally in each language. However, without a doubt, her breakout role came as the mysterious Maeve in Sex Education. Mackey has since become involved in several big-budget Hollywood productions including Death on the Nile and Barbie.
Jaime Pressly and Margot Robbie

Robbie’s career has continued to flourish. One of her most noteworthy roles was when she played Sharon Tate in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Being cast in a Tarantino role truly did cement Robbie’s legacy as a massively famous actress.
Jaime Pressly was pretty much a comedic actor early in her career. You saw her in a number of those crude ‘teen’ movies where her good looks and iconic North Carolina accent were showcased. The role in which her talent really shined came in My Name is Earl. She then spent over 120 episodes as a recurring member on Mom.
Anna Gunn and Woody Harrelson

No…despite the internet rumors, Woody Harrelson and Anna Gunn are not siblings despite the strong resemblance. Gunn grew up in New Mexico. Ironically enough, it served as the setting for perhaps her most famous role as Skyler in Breaking Bad. The two-time Emmy Winner also performed in Deadwood and Sully.
You’ve seen Harrelson on screen in virtually every role possible. He’s played serious roles, comedic ones, and virtually everything under the proverbial sun. Among his most critically acclaimed performances, one could include Harrelson’s roles in White Men Can’t Jump, Cheers, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Messenger, and The People vs. Larry Flynt.
Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly

It’s quite common for people to mix up Kelly and Meester. Both were on hit shows around the same time and are roughly in the same age range. Everyone fell in love with Kelly during her days on Friday Night Lights as Lyla Garrity. This role propelled her career into both modeling and on-screen roles in such projects as Jane the Virgin, The Roommate, and Parenthood.
Meester’s big role came on Gossip Girl. She was a model as a young girl before really breaking into the world of performance — which featured film, television, and also vocal work. Since then, we’ve seen her in several films (The Roommate, That’s My Boy).
Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel

For years upon years, these two have been compared to one another from a looks standpoint. The big, bright blue eyes against dark brown hair and a porcelain complexion. Actress Zooey Deschanel has been in the limelight for over 20 years — performing in a number of very good projects. Almost Famous was a great role for her, as was (500) Days of Summer. The sitcom New Girl will forever make her a darling in syndication.
Katy Perry went from being a shy, quiet girl growing up in Santa Barbara to one of the biggest and most prolific pop stars in the entire world. There are only a handful of musical giants considered to be ‘bigger’ than her at this point. Without a doubt, Perry forever etched herself into the fabric of high-end pop culture.
Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic, Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images
Of all celebrity lookalikes, these two might be the ones most often mixed up with one another. We can’t blame the masses — as Chastain and Howard have striking physical similarities. The daughter of famed director/producer/writer/actor Ron Howard, Bryce (pictured right) stepped into her own shadow where she’s since created her own big-time career. This has included roles in the Jurassic Park franchise, The Help, and Rocketman.
Chastain reportedly grew up with some personal challenges as it pertained to her family’s background. The Sacramento native ultimately made it out to New York where her theater craft was honed. To this day, Chastain is considered one of the most talented American actors in the world. She’s earned three Oscar nominations — ultimately winning Best Actress for The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
Maggie Lawson and Alicia Silverstone
Steve Granitz/FilmMagic, Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC Images
Alicia Silverstone will forever be known as the lead in one of the most iconic teen movies of all time, Clueless. Cher Horowitz continues to be a character over 20 years later which people dress up as for Halloween. Aside from that film, the Northern California native also starred in Batman & Robin, Miss Match, The Baby-Sitters Club, and American Horror Stories.
Looking like her identical twin, Maggie Lawson (right) grew up in Kentucky. She was also a child actor before moving to Hollywood and landing other roles. Some of them you may have heard of (Psych, Cybill, Home Improvement, Boy Meets World, Step by Step) and others you may not be as familiar with (Model Behavior, The Ranch).
Kate Middleton and Lauren Conrad

While both of these individuals work in completely different professions halfway across the world from one another, there’s certainly a resemblance! Lauren Conrad (left) aka LC was first brought to us on the dramatic reality television show Laguna Beach. The Hills followed, and eventually, Conrad became a very successful fashion designer with her own line (and she’s even written a number of books for good measure).
Kate Middleton — better known by her official title as the Princess of Wales — married into the British Royal Family. She married Prince William, which means that one day she’ll eventually become the Queen of England.
