Side-By-Side Pics Of Celebs Who Could Be Twins
Some stars have such distinct features that they are instantly recognizable. For example, you can't mistake Meryl Streep or Diana Ross for anyone else. From their prominent bone structure to megawatt smiles, these famous faces are unmistakable. And then there are celebs who look so alike that they have folks doing a double-take. Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard often get mistaken for each other, and it's not just because of their matching red hair. The two share the same piercing blue eyes and alabaster skin, making them each other's real-life doppelgänger.
It's always fun to have a "Parent Trap" moment and find out that there's another version of yourself out there. Some celebs even take advantage of the similarities to star as siblings in a film. Having an unexpected twin definitely has its perks — even if their parents sometimes get them mixed up with another star.
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard
Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard look so alike that it's not just fans who can't tell them apart. Chastain recounted a hilarious story to AP about being in an Apple store and seeing filmmaker Ron Howard; after casually glancing at him, her friend told her that she had heard the director say, "I think I just saw Bryce." Chastain added that it's a compliment when people confuse her for Howard, but we think it goes both ways for the gorgeous women.
Thandiwe Newton and Zoe Saldaña
Thandiwe Newton and Zoe Saldaña have such similar features that they could swap roles and fans wouldn't blink twice. The two often sport matching hairstyles, and although Saldaña still turns heads going makeup-free, her subtle red carpet looks are similar to Newton's. While on "The Late Late Show with James Corden," Saldaña joked that her mom thinks she's in Newton's show, "Westworld." "I'm like, [...] 'Mom, you did not give birth to Thandiwe Newton,'" Saldaña joked. Hopefully, Saldaña's mom has figured out her daughter's roles by now.
Sadie Stanley and Madelyn Cline
Sadie Stanley and Madelyn Cline are both rising stars in Hollywood, with each recognized for their respective hit shows. While Cline became known for her role in "Outer Banks," her lookalike rose to fame with "Kim Possible" and "Cruel Summer." With their similar hairstyles, button noses, and pouty lips, fans often mix the two up — and there's no denying that they could be related. In fact, a Reddit user even said they watched a few episodes of "Cruel Summer" before realizing Cline isn't in the show. "I was on [Episode] 3 when I realized that Megan is NOT played by Madelyn Cline," they recalled. "I was like 'how odd, she's posted absolutely NO content for her new show on IG[.' Their] resemblance is uncanny."
Chad Smith and Will Ferrell
Chad Smith and Will Ferrell looking alike has been a running joke for years. It's almost impossible to tell the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer and the "Elf" star apart, as they share the same features and, apparently, the same amazing sense of humor. In 2014, they both showed up to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" dressed exactly alike for a drum battle. It was the first time they met, with Smith later telling Music Radar, "I have to say, it was kind of creepy when I showed up at his dressing room, and he looked exactly like me!"
Victoria Justice and Nina Dobrev
Victoria Justice and Nina Dobrev were both huge in the mid-2000s, and that's not the only thing they have in common. The actors sport long locks in a dark brunette hair color, thick brows, and large doe eyes that the cameras love. They shared a one-of-a-kind moment in 2015, when Justice posted a photo on X alongside the "Vampire Diaries" star and model Melanie Iglesias. "It blows my mind how much like sisters you look," a fan replied.
Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski
While Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski are generations apart, the two look so alike that they could be sisters. A throwback pic of the "Mad About You" star shows her with similarly shaped brows and hooded eyes to Sobieski, with the angle of their jaws comparable, as well. Fans can't get over the resemblance, with one Redditor showing a side-by-side pic of Hunt and her younger dopplegänger. Another replied, "No question. When Leelee first came onto the scene, people even asked if she was Helen's daughter or niece."
Natalia Dyer and Timothée Chalamet
It's rare that you see a male and female celeb look eerily alike, but ever since Natalia Dyer entered the Hollywood scene for her role in "Stranger Things," fans have noticed her uncanny resemblance to Timothée Chalamet. From their pronounced jawlines to the same hooded eyes, the two could play brother and sister twins, and we wouldn't even have to suspend our disbelief. One fan joked that Dyer and Chalamet are the same person and tweeted, "Have they ever been in the same room together?" We need answers, ASAP.
Teresa Palmer and Kristen Stewart
Kristen Stewart has had quite the hair transformation over the years, but when she decides to go blond and wavy, she looks just like Teresa Palmer. While the "Warm Bodies" star's eyes are blue and Stewart's are green, the almond shape is a copy-and-paste of each other, along with their similar noses and lips. Palmer had fun with a fan who mixed them up, and she told Heatworld in 2021, "I've signed an autograph as her for a giggle." However, Palmer thinks she and Stewart look nothing alike, but fans don't agree — and neither do we!
Kyra Sedgwick and Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts' most stunning hair looks prove she can pull anything off, and that includes playing Kyra Sedgwick's sister. With their matching brown eyes and toothy grins, it's not a stretch to believe they're related, even if it's just on-screen. After years of being compared to one another, Roberts and Sedgwick joined forces in the 1995 film "Something to Talk About." Despite wanting to be set apart from the "Pretty Woman" star, Sedgwick was grateful for the experience. "To this day, I'm incredibly happy that I look enough like Julia Roberts to play her sister," she told Yahoo! Entertainment in 2023.
