Angelina Jolie
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
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
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
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.”
Dove Cameron
Alyssa McKay is an actress and Dove Cameron lookalike, the latter of which boosts her career. McKay often mimics scenes that Cameron acted in for the Disney Channel on her own social media.
Despite being a successful influencer in her own right, the TikToker has no problem capitalizing on the fact that she’s a doppelgänger. In fact, McKay created a YouTube video captioned, “I get compared to DOVE CAMERON literally 24/7, so I thought it may be fun to attempt to recreate some of her Instagram pictures for you guys!”
Zayn Malik
Being a model in his own right, it took some time for Flamur Ukshini to realize that he was getting a little too much recognition on the street, and people must be confusing him with Zayn Malik.
Ukshini admitted, “In the beginning, I didn’t realize we looked the same, because I didn’t know him. But when people on the street wanted to take pictures with me I was surprised, but then I started to realize that I look very much like somebody I don’t know and who has to be famous.”
Charli D’Amelio
The world seems intent on pitting TikTokers Charli D’Amelio and Ellie Zeiler against each other. Apparently, people think the world isn’t big enough for two influencers who look exactly the same (um, who’s gonna break it to people that most influencers look alike because they use all the same filters?)
However, the two women are actually friends! Zeiler has said that she loves her work because “I get to have more connections with fun people.” Meanwhile, D’Amelio clarified, “I think there are a lot of people that look like me.”
Elton John
David Bills’ journey as an Elton John lookalike all started when the non-celeb dressed up as the singer for his brother’s birthday party. Since then, Bills has discovered the joy of pretending to be a celebrity.
“It’s great fun, a lot of people do a double take which is always funny and appreciated. I was at Elton’s concert in Leicester UK a couple of years ago and of course, I dressed as Elton and got mobbed by people all night and even had to sign a few autographs.”
Tom Cruise
Apparently, even AI can’t tell the difference between Jerome LeBlanc and Tom Cruise! LeBlanc’s social media accounts were deactivated due to suspicions that he was impersonating the celebrity.
Well, now, Jerome gets paid to do just that. LeBlanc spoke about his unusual career saying, “It’s been an awesome journey. I do this full-time as a job. People really love to take photos with me, even though they know I’m the young version. The nostalgia is a strong feeling, it brings people back in the ‘80s.”
Mila Kunis
Mila Kunis already has a celebrity lookalike in Sarah Hyland (Haley from Modern Family) but she has a regular person doppelganger too.
The Kunis clone has said, “In person, so many people have said to me “You know who you look like?” and I’ll always already know what they are about to say so I say (Mila Kunis) and then they always say “that girl from That ‘70s show!” Hey, there are a lot worse fates in life than looking like “that girl!”
They say that everyone has a twin out there somewhere, so it makes sense that’d hold true for celebrities too. However, being a famous person’s doppelganger is very different than just kind of looking like your accountant. These ordinary people have found themselves chased down by fans and stalked by paparazzi, all because they look exactly like A-listers. Check out these freaky similarities and see if you can spot the difference!
