I’ve never found my doppelgänger, and that’s perfectly OK because I’m very superstitious (thanks to my Filipino background and my mother). For those who may not know, stumbling upon your doppelgänger is actually pretty eerie. Not only is it downright creepy when you find one (they apparently cast no shadow and have no reflections in a mirror or water), but it’s also considered a bad omen. According to mythology, if you see your friend’s look-alike, it’s a sign of impending illness or bad luck. But if you see your own? It’s a death omen (!).
However, if you see a celebrity’s doppelgänger — not someone like you or me who’s blessed with celeb-status genetics; we’re talking about a celebrity who looks like another celebrity — that’s just plain exciting.
Everyone knows that Amy Adams and Isla Fisher look eerily alike, but they’re not the only stars who do. Let’s take a look at a few more dead ringers.
A version of this article was originally published in September 2016.
Amy Adams & Isla Fisher
Isla Fisher had to release a mock PSA to remind everyone that she is not, in fact, Amy Adams.
Selena Gomez & Lucy Hale
The doe eyes, the same facial structure, similar bubbly personalities: Selena Gomez and Lucy Hale are basically the same person.
Jessica Chastain & Bryce Dallas Howard
When everyone wouldn't let up about how Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard look alike, the two took to social media to clear the air.
Chastain posted a meme on Twitter, and Howard posted a Dubsmash video to Facebook.
Jennifer Lawrence & Bella Hadid
Bella Hadid is fully aware of how much she and Jennifer Lawrence look alike. She told Fashionista that people tell her "multiple times a day" she looks like Lawrence.
"They'll be like, 'Oh my god, you know who you look like?' I'll be like, 'Jennifer Lawrence.' They'll be like, 'How did you know?' Like, 'Just a weird thought I had.'"
Minka Kelly & Leighton Meester
We wouldn't be surprised if Minka Kelly became a relative of Leighton Meester on Gossip Girl. These two look like long-lost cousins.
Kaia Gerber & Rachel Bilson
Kaia Gerber (Cindy Crawford's daughter) is totally Rachel Bilson's slightly younger twin.
Ian Somerhalder & Chace Crawford
We'd be totally fine watching these two guys playing twins or brothers or… heck, we'll watch them in anything.
Angelina Jolie & Megan Fox
Megan Fox is starting to resemble Angelina Jolie a lot more. Could it be the poised pout?
Lindsay Lohan & Madonna
Now this isn't a comparison you see often, but yes, yes, yes! Lindsay Lohan could definitely pass as Madonna's niece.
Mila Kunis & Sarah Hyland
Sarah Hyland is starting to look more like Mila Kunis as she ages. They both have a glare that'll kill!
Ashley Greene & Coco Rocha
These two share chiseled features, flawless skin and a love of fashion.
Leonardo DiCaprio & Eric Dane
Leonardo DiCaprio is aging mighty well… mighty well indeed. So well, in fact, that he's starting to morph into McSteamy himself, Eric Dane.
Zac Efron & Scott Disick
While checking out some photos online, we had a hard time telling Zac Efron from Kourtney Kardashian's baby daddy, Scott Disick.
Elizabeth Banks & Chelsea Handler
Aside from their striking physical similarities, the blond beauties are both funny as hell.
Katy Perry & Zooey Deschanel
With her big blue eyes, blunt-banged black hair and sweet smile, Katy Perry would have no problem convincing audiences she was related to Zooey Deschanel.
Keira Knightley & Natalie Portman
Uh, could these two be any prettier? Matching pillowy lips, striking bone structure and mesmerizing gazes, no less!
Naomi Watts & Claire Danes
Besides being beautiful, Claire Danes and Naomi Watts are both talented, badass women.
Stephen Colbert & Bob Saget
One is a comedian/actor/late-night TV host who slays us with his sarcastic brand of humor. The other? A comedian/actor/TV host who once played Danny Tanner in one of our favorite '90s sitcoms ev-er, Full House — and more currently in Fuller House. Aside from those minor differences, it's hard to tell these two apart.
Carrie Underwood & Emily Osment
In addition to their impressive pipes, these two songbirds share a strong chin, high cheekbones and beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
