Just for laughs. Are you seeing double when you think of certain celebrities ? Let's agree or disagree!

Jack White and Johnny Depp

I'm not getting that, apart from the hats and the angle of the eyebrows!

I get lots of people mixed up, it’s my very special talent…….but I never get these two mixed up. To me they look totally different. KK is very odd looking, NP is exquisite. But I accept I’m in the minority here.

I don't think you are in the minority, they look completely different and KK like you say has quite a distinctive look.

This is the only place I've ever heard people say they look even a little bit alike

Some of these people are incredibly alike to me, but many of them don't even come close. I think we all tend to pick out different features for comparison, like when you tell someone their child is the spitting image of them and the person says 'ah no now, she's the double of Great Aunt Nora on my husband's side.' Some of the celebrities look alike in these particular photos, but I've certainly never noticed it before.

I used to get mixed up between Bruce Forsyth and Larry Grayson even though I can see now that they weren't alike, apart from the fact that that they were both 'old men' (to me as a child) and presented the Generation Game😆

KK and NP is not a MN thing, loads of people think it. It became a meme and they were asked about it in interviews. I don't think they look alike, though they can be photographed to look alike.

Has everyone seen this from the Golden Globes? Cillian and Kylie Grin

Brad Pitt and Benicio del Toro look like brothers, Benicio being the older, more dishevelled.

Yes! Always thought this

SirQuintusAureliusMaximus · 10/01/2024 20:54

Margot Robbie and the woman you posted who looks just like her - here's another one. One of the actresses from Hart of Dixie who plays the character lemon. I had to google her - her name is Jaime King but I found this - which is a 3 way photo of Robbie, and the other two. King is on the right. These are basically the same person.

Aaron Eckhart, Thomas Jane and Christopher Lambert.

Ooh, seeing that photo of Aaron Eckhart makes me think he looks like Sam Jaeger! (Mark Tuello in Handmaid's Tale).

I have a few:
Rupert Friend / Orlando Bloom
Vera Farmiga / Gillian Anderson
Sean Astin / Allen Leach
and someone else has mentioned Amy Adams / Isla Fisher - the film Nocturnal Animals was superbly confusing because they were both in it.

Re Astin/Leech: they don't look exactly alike, but similar and there's also something about their expressions or mannerisms maybe? The whole time I was watching Downton Abbey I was calling Tom Branson Samwise Gamgee. I kept expecting him to slip up and say 'Mr Frodo' instead of 'your Lordship'. 😁

There's an actor who just won a golden globe who is the image of gene wilder. I'll look him up and post a picture.

Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong · 10/01/2024 23:38

Can't do it, Google him, Jeremy Allen White.

RumNotRun · 11/01/2024 06:24

@Alalalalalongalalalalalonglonglilong I thought the same when I watched The Bear (Jeremy A W is the lead). I did post pics of them earlier in the thread but may have called him just Jeremy Allen.
