People aren’t as unique as they want to believe. Nearly all of us have been in a situation where we’re walking around town and we spot someone who looks exactly like a friend of ours. Or even us. It’s a very peculiar feeling to realize that we’re not alone. That there’s at least one person out there who is our copy. Our twin. Our doppelganger.
Do you know what’s awesome? Looking just like a celebrity. Plenty of other people think so, which is why they became part of the ‘Same de la Same’ Instagram community that is dedicated to sharing celebrity look-alike photos with the entire world. We’ve picked out some of the best side-by-side comparison photos, so upvote the celebrity doppelgangers that left an impression, and share this post with your pals to see whether they notice the photos are of famous doppelgangers and not the famous people themselves. And let us know in the comments what popular celebrity your friends think you look like (for example, some of my pals think I look a bit like Keanu Reeves).
Bored Panda interviewed ‘Same de la Same’s’ creator Freddy Slivinski to learn more about the community of famous look-alikes. Make sure to scroll down for our full in-depth interview with him.
