Celebrity look-alike contests are currently taking the Internet by storm. What started as a search for Timothée Chalamet’s double has now spiraled into a marathon of fans trying to find doppelgangers of their favorite famous people like Harry Styles, Paul Mescal, Jeremy Allen White, and Dev Patel. It seems that the public is seeking something lighter amidst pretty heavy events these days, such as the election results and ongoing wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

To distract us from the world for a moment, Bored Panda is jumping into the fun too, and featuring some of the most uncanny doppelgangers ordinary people have unexpectedly run into. Scroll down to find them, and we’ll let you decide whether these instances are glitches in the matrix or something entirely different.

Scientist Nancy Segal, a professor of psychology, has additionally found that doppelgangers might not only share similar appearance but other attributes as well, like the manner of walking (due to their bone length), their voice, and even their level of addictiveness. So for example, a Harry Styles look-alike may walk, sound the same, and smoke cigarettes but won’t have the same personality, charisma, and talent as him.

I bet now you’re wondering if there is a person who looks, walks, and sounds like you somewhere out there. Well, scientists think that it’s very likely, but the precise number of that being true is difficult to calculate with statistical quirks and subjectivity getting in the way. Despite this, there’s still a pretty good chance we all have a doppelganger. “I think most people have somebody who is a facial lookalike unless they have a truly exceptional and unusual face,” concludes statistician Nick Fieller from The Computer-Aided Facial Recognition Project.
