18 Celebrities That Might Not Need Makeup to Portray Each Other
You might’ve noticed that your friend or relative is very similar to another person you know or met. Sometimes people are so similar that you can mistake them for each other and call out to a stranger. It can be surprising, but it happens with celebrities as well.
5-Minute Crafts shares the most incredible celebrity lookalikes.
1. Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice
Once the series The Vampire Diaries became popular, we had an opportunity to see Nina Dobrev everywhere. At the same time, Victoria Justice starred in the sitcom Victorius. Fans found the actresses so similar that they began to wonder if they were related. It turned out that they were not. Moreover, Nina was born in Bulgaria and as a child moved with her parents to Canada. Meanwhile, Victoria was born in California, the USA, and has English, Irish, German, and Puerto Rican roots.
Fun fact: they’ve met at least a couple of times. For example, in 2015 they both attended a polo match and Victoria Justice posted this photo on her Twitter.
2. Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling
If the actresses above are mistaken for being sisters, these 2 charming men seem to be the same person to some fans. Apart from the names and apparent similarities in appearances, both Ryans have many things in common. First, they are successful actors who have appeared in iconic action films. Then, they were born and raised in Canada and starred in TV shows there. Finally, they married Hollywood actresses: Ryan Reynolds is Blake Lively’s husband, and Ryan Gosling married Eva Mendes.
3. Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley
Despite the 4-year age difference, the 2 celebrities are often mixed up. It all started when, as teens, they both starred in the Star Wars prequel trilogy. They looked so similar, that during the shoot even their mothers couldn’t tell them apart. Keira Knightley said, in 2014, that she still gets confused with Natalie and gets chased through airports by Natalie’s fans.
4. Thandiwe Newton And Zoe Saldana
Zoe’s mother even mixes them up. “She [mom] saw a poster for Crash [with Thandiwe Newton] and called me to ask me why I didn’t tell her I was in a movie with Matt Dillon.” — said Ms. Saldana. The celebrity also admitted to being mistaken for Kerry Washington and Jada Pinkett. However, it doesn’t bother her as sometimes she can’t tell some people apart either.
5. Hilary Swank and Jennifer Garner
Hilary Swank got 2 Oscars, but people still mix her up with her acting colleague Jennifer Garner. Some fans don’t even believe her and get angry if she tells them she is not Jennifer. So, once Swank agreed to take a photo because she “didn’t want to give Jennifer a bad name.”
6. Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly
Margot Robbie (on the left) and Jaime Pressly (on the right) have a 13-year age difference but their similarities are incredible. Full lips, blonde hair color, and bone structure — all those common features make people mix them up. Some of them were even sure that Jaime Pressly starred in “I, Tonya” and it was shocking for them to find out that it was Margot.
7. Zach Braff and Dax Shepard
Another pair of look-alike celebrities. The men know about their resemblance and even make jokes about it. Braff once posted a photo of the magazine, where Dax Shepard and his wife were on the cover, and added a comment: “We look cute here.”
8. Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood
“We’re both kind of short guys with big blue eyes and brown hair. And we did fantasy movies that came out at the same time.” — Daniel explained when talking about his similarity with Elijah Wood. Indeed, those 2 actors are difficult to tell apart. Back in the day, on social media, it was a viral GIF of 26-year-old Daniel that morphed into 35-year-old Elijah and turned back into Daniel. Users could hardly believe that it wasn’t the same person.
9. Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry
The celebrities have known about their similarity for quite a while. Perry admitted that she even pretended to be Zooey when she moved to Hollywood. The singer had neither money nor connections, so it helped her to have access to the clubs. However, she apologized to the actress for that during her Instagram live.
Deschanel, on the other hand, said that people kept telling her about Katy and their resemblance. So, she was “so relieved” to meet Perry in person as she turned out to be really beautiful.
