According to BBC, the chances of a human being having a doppelgänger is only 1 in 135. That’s 0.7%. So the chances of two stars resembling each other are even smaller. Yet, there are a handful of artists that are thought to be “twins.”
A recent look-alike trend on social media has gained a lot of attention, revealing new various big names who look eerily similar. It started on X when one user said Rochelle Aytes from Criminal Minds and Barbie star Margot Robbie looked like the same person with different skin colors.
This, of course, prompted more users to share stars who they believe look similar, and it’s got many people second-guessing themselves.
#1 Javier Bardem And Jeffrey Dean Morgan
The two who started it all.
Besides starring in Criminal Minds, Rochelle has also been a part of works such as White Chicks and Left 4 Dead 2. Margot, on the other hand, has played roles such as Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movies and the titular character in Barbie.
While both actresses have not yet worked together, someone on social media mentioned that the two look quite similar despite being of different races.
Javier Bardem is a Spanish actor who appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean and has received a variety of awards. His celebrity lookalike, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is an American actor and is widely known for his work in The Walking Dead. Both are in their 50s and have features that look alike.
A Reddit user even said: “No, they’re not twins. They’re clearly the same person.”

#4 Jessica Chastain And Bryce Dallas Howard
An American actress known primarily for starring in films like Dark Phoenix, Jessica Chastain started her cinematic journey in the movie Jolene.
Jurassic World star Bryce Dallas Howard began her career later on, with her Broadway debut catching the eye of director M. Night Shyamalan.

Jennifer Lawrence’s breakout film was The Hunger Games franchise. And while in her Katniss Everdeen look, fans have pointed out that she looks very much like Bella Hadid from certain angles. Since then, the American actress and producer has continually starred in many genres of movies, including Passengers and No Hard Feelings.
While Bella Hadid didn’t grow up attending premieres, she’s an icon in the American fashion world and was named Model of the Year by British Fashion Council in 2022.

Pennsylvanian-born actor Zachary Quinto found a love for musicals and plays at an early age, but his portrayal of Spock in Star Trek was what ultimately shot him to fame.

Elf star Will Ferrell is known greatly as the leading man in various comedy films, such as Step Brothers and Step Brothers.
Chad Smith has been rocking out in the band Red Hot Chili Peppers since 1988 as a drummer.

Venom star Tom Hardy is an English actor who started his career in 2001 as Ridley Scott in Black Hawk Down.
American actor and filmmaker Logan Marshall-Green has appeared in Spiderman: Homecoming as Jackson Brice/Shocker. The two may not have been part of the same movie, but they’ve both made their contributions to the Spiderman universe.
People were quick to point out that Tom and Logan look so alike they could be brothers and have even questioned if the two were related.
Due to their insane resemblance, Rupert Grint has starred in one of Ed Sheeran’s very first music videos for the song Lego House.
In terms of work, Rupert is best known for his role as Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series, which he was cast in at just age 11. Ed Sheeran is an English singer and songwriter whose career also started when he was 11. He’s put out multiple albums since then.

From playing the treasured “Lip” Gallagher in Shameless to Kerry Von Erich in The Iron Claw, Jeremy Allen White is quite the decorated actor.
The iconic Willy Wonka, Gene Wilder, passed away in 2016, but his legacy as the crazed chocolate maker still lives on.

Margot Robbie is on this list… again!
This time, she’s being compared to British and French actress Emma Mackey. Emma has been part of projects such as Sex Education and Death on the Nile, as well as Barbie, where she worked alongside Margot.
