Share on FacebookFrom pop stars to Olympic athletes, these star look-alikes are turning heads — and causing double takes.
Even in a world where faces are splashed across screens, red carpets, and magazine covers, Hollywood isn't immune to mistaken identity. These celebrity pairs — and trios! — don’t just resemble each other; they’ve sparked fan theories, casting fantasies, and the occasional backstage mix-up. Here are six duos who might not share DNA, but definitely share a face.
1. Chappell Roan and Saoirse Ronan
With matching ethereal beauty and similar-sounding names, Chappell Roan and Saoirse Ronan have fans doing double takes. Even Ronan herself admits the confusion, sharing that after attending one of Roan’s concerts, she was told the pop star hears comparisons to her constantly. Ronan loved it: “That’s my oxygen,” she joked, calling Roan “the best.”
2. Tyler James Williams, Orlando Jones, and Solange Knowles
Sometimes, a resemblance runs so deep it forms a fictional family. Tyler James Williams has been compared to both Orlando Jones and Solange Knowles — and he’s leaned into the joke. “My dad is Orlando, my cousin is Solange,” he told PEOPLE. Fans are here for it — and now they’re just waiting for this trio to appear on screen together.
3. McKenna Grace and Kiernan Shipka
McKenna Grace has made a name for herself playing younger versions of other stars, but none have been as spot-on as her role as a young Kiernan Shipka in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Shipka even handpicked her, telling the show’s creator, “You have to get Mckenna. She’s like me as a little girl.”
4. Jeremy Allen White and Gene Wilder
Those piercing blue eyes and wild curls are unmistakable — Jeremy Allen White and Gene Wilder look like they’re cut from the same cloth. While White denies any family link, he’s honored by the comparison, calling Young Frankenstein one of his childhood favorites. Fans online have dubbed him the “Ketamine Gene Wilder,” and honestly, they’re not wrong.
5. Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill
Superman could’ve had a twin. Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill share such similar features — sharp jawlines, intense gazes, near-identical profiles — that Bomer once auditioned for Man of Steel himself. Though Cavill got the part, the resemblance still leaves fans wondering if we missed out on a mirror-dimension superhero crossover.
6. Gus Kenworthy and Richard Madden
One’s an Olympic freestyle skier, the other’s a Game of Thrones king — but Gus Kenworthy and Richard Madden look like long-lost brothers. Kenworthy even joked about the resemblance on social media, tagging Madden with a cheeky, “They’re on to us…” The internet seems to agree: this is one royal look-alike match.
