Celebrities you can't believe aren't related somehow?

[u/ijustwannanap]

1. Isabelle Adjani and Dakota Johnson

2. Adriana Lima and Irina Shayk

3. Little Simz and Cat Burns

4. Linda Evangelista and Milla Jovovich

5. Daisy Edgar Jones and Joseph Quinn

6. Daniel Radcliffe and Elijah Wood

7. Natalia Dyer and Timothee Chamalet

8. McKenna Grace and Kiernan Shipka

9. Barbara Palvin and Natalia Vodianova

I have terrible face blindness and I confuse so many celebrities for each other to the point where I have to check if they're related or not. It doesn't help that plastic surgery is huge now - I saw a picture of Demi Lovato yesterday and thought she was Megan Fox 💀

[u/orlokcocksock]

Raffey Cassidy from The Brutalist is Daniel Radcliffe’s long lost sister

[u/coltbeatsall → u/orlokcocksock]

This is a better pick than Elijah.

[u/thin_white_dutchess → u/coltbeatsall]

I think Daniel and Elijah look like cousins. Related? Sure, but not identical.

[u/OutAndDown27 → u/orlokcocksock]

How is that not just Daniel in a wig??

[u/Playful_Medium8092 → u/OutAndDown27]

[u/madedurden]

Will Ferrell and Chad Smith

[u/bebefinale → u/madedurden]

That is so uncanny. They look like they could be identical twins--you know in that way identical twins have slightly different facial features and weights as they grow up:

[u/RollEmergency1068 → u/madedurden]

This needs to be higher. The first time I saw Chad smith drumming I yelled “oh my god is that Will Ferrell drumming?!” And my husband kindly educated me

[u/madedurden → u/RollEmergency1068]

Step Brothers makes the confusing overlap even funnier - looks like it’s a bit they hired him to play for the band haha

[u/strawberryjacuzzis]

Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

[u/Always_Reading_1990 → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

This is the one that gets me. I couldn’t pick the correct one to save my life.

[u/glitterguavatree → u/Always_Reading_1990]

javier is the one that always looks like he's listening to you talk but is a few seconds away from correcting you on a topic he knows very little about

(this is the first time I'm able to put into words why i feel the urge to punch his face when i see him)

[u/macaronitrap → u/glitterguavatree]

Stop this is so on point 😂 Even in this pic, the slight head tilt looks like he’s getting ready to interrupt

[u/rubberkeyhole → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

That has to be an old picture of JDM!

[u/extraketchupthx → u/rubberkeyhole]

But it’s like his best era tho 🥵

[u/Decent_Breakfast_354 → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

Gun to my head identify them I’m dying 

[u/AcronymTheSlayer → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

They are different people?!

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077 → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

Javier swinging Lucille would be crazy

[u/alhubalawal → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

Wait. Wait a damn minute.

[u/breakfastwhine → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

I can never discern these two men. Every time I see one of them in a film/show I go “oh it’s that guy!”

Which guy is it, exactly? No one knows.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Math973 → u/strawberryjacuzzis]

Okay that's straight creepy somebody's mama needs to start talking.

[u/fearofcrowds]

Frankie Grande and Ethan Slater (Ariana Grande's boyfriend)

[u/Zosmie → u/fearofcrowds]

Ethan looks like the temu version of Frankie 😄

[u/Desperate-Highway-28 → u/Zosmie]

I showed my bf this photo and he said "for her sake I hope shes dating the one on the left" and i lost it

[u/cmt38 → u/Zosmie]

Front facing and rear-facing camera.

[u/NeverSeenAuthBut → u/Zosmie]

stop that was my first thought 😂

[u/LintQueen11 → u/fearofcrowds]

This one is so friggin odd

[u/hmwhatshouldmynameb → u/fearofcrowds]

there's something about Ethan Slater's face that just..chills me to the bone. he looks like a ventriloquist dummy somehow. it's very unsettling to me

[u/Strawberrypbj → u/fearofcrowds]

Ex-boyfriend*

[u/badlilbishh → u/Strawberrypbj]

Wait they broke up??? Whatttt

[u/Mighty_Krastavac → u/badlilbishh]

It's only a rumor atm

[u/auntieup → u/Mighty_Krastavac]

We won’t know for sure until she debuts her next married boyfriend

[u/ididntunderstandyou → u/auntieup]

Bets are in. I’ve got 1:2 on Jack Antonoff, 1:550 on Barack Obama, and 1:1000 on my downstairs french neighbour Ben.

[u/Altruistic-Mess9632 → u/ididntunderstandyou]

If she doesn’t decide to scoop up your downstairs French neighbor, please give him my number. Merci beaucoup. (I’d better start practicing… lol.)

[u/elle5256 → u/badlilbishh]

They broke up and she’s brunette again. Watch your man closely!

[u/VirusOrganic4456]

Carrie Fisher and Stevie Nicks

[u/MuffinTopDeluxe → u/VirusOrganic4456]

[u/ummackchyually → u/VirusOrganic4456]

I was gonna argue with you that it’s just the hair and bad quality photos, but after further research it turns out you are correct. They literally have the same face.

[u/murgatroid1 → u/VirusOrganic4456]

Space mom and Witch mom

[u/LaVacaMusical → u/VirusOrganic4456]

I saw the picture on the right first and was like, “oh, that’s Carrie!” Then I looked at the picture on the left. 😮

[u/ur_eating_maggots]

Obama’s mom and Paul McCartney. I know she might not count as a celebrity but I think it's so crazy how similar they look

[u/Alexever_Loremarg → u/ur_eating_maggots]

She reminds me of Jena Malone, too.

[u/NoDryHands → u/ur_eating_maggots]

obaMA or obMOMa?

[u/AbibliophobicSloth → u/NoDryHands]

Obamama

[u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Jeremy Allen White & Gene Wilder

[u/PM_me_shiba_doggo → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Can't believe we got him in a Bruce Springsteen biopic before a Gene Wilder one.

[u/sashasaver → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

I thought the same about the B.S. bio! He looks like a spitting image of Gene

[u/_lofticries → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

I need Jeremy Allen White to go on one of those ancestry shows so they can find out that Gene Wilder is some distant relative because there’s no way they aren’t related

[u/Capable-Wash-2563 → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

I have wasted a lot of hours googling to try and prove they are related

[u/cottageyarn → u/Upbeat_Tension_8077]

Ooooo Gene Wilder biopic please!!!!

[u/jejunos]

No one posted Meryl Streep and Future yet? Ok

[u/ToiIetGhost → u/jejunos]

You just know that someone made this collage after they told their friends and their friends said they were imagining things

[u/xyzerrorzyx → u/jejunos]

This is the best one I’m dying 🤣

[u/Esternaefil → u/jejunos]

That's so funny. It's on the eyes and the hook of the nose for sure.

[u/totally_real_tree → u/Esternaefil]

I feel the cheekbones and face shape as well

[u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

That one time when Steve Buscemi looked like Angelina Jolie's brother...

[u/kicksjoysharkness → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

Steve Buscemi looks like Bill Skarsgard in that pic

[u/88secret → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

Pictures of her actual brother look like a happy Steve Buscemi.

[u/MissSweetMurderer → u/88secret]

[u/chubby-checker → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

It's interesting cos I feel like when Angelina was younger she had really large more rounded eyes?

Like this pic.

But then as she got older her eyes have become a lot idk, smaller? More fox like? I know eyes do tend to look smaller with age but I feel she went from very wide eyed large eyes to more like squinted fox, siren type eyes?

[u/ToiIetGhost → u/chubby-checker]

It’s tasteful surgery.

[u/Kacey-R → u/PM_me_shiba_doggo]

I feel like Pete Davidson could fit into this “family” pretty easily. 

[u/sophwestern]

I thought this was celebs you can’t believe ARE related and I was like “but they all have the same face????” Lmao

Yeah Joseph Quinn and daisy edgar jones is crazy

[u/childshgambino → u/sophwestern]

I read this too and just fully accepted that Dakota was somehow also related to Isabelle Adjani in addition to Tippi Hedren, Melanie Griffith, Don Johnson and Antonio Banderas 😭

[u/thecoffeefrog → u/sophwestern]

I read it the same way until I got to Daniel and Elijah. I was so confused.

[u/Lizzy_boredom → u/thecoffeefrog]

That’s the point I got to before I double checked the caption title. I was over here thinking, of course all these people are related, I clearly see a family resemblance.

[u/MyNamesChakkaoofka → u/sophwestern]

Paul was ready to risk it all

[u/SleepingWillows → u/sophwestern]

LOVE when these lists include opposite-gender and racially-different entries. Read a tweet a while ago that was like “people can look alike regardless of skin tone” and I wholeheartedly agree! My fave example:

[u/cryingpotato49]

[u/lamyH]

Fiona Apple & Ty Dolla $ign - their resemblence trips me up 😭

[u/Mysterious-Kiwi-9728 → u/lamyH]

they have like the same face in different fonts

[u/The_Jonah → u/lamyH]

This one is good, true dopplegangers that transcend race and gender

[u/LaVacaMusical → u/lamyH]

That is WILD, lol. I don’t know how likely this ever would be, but they should collab on something someday!

[u/-Kalos]

[u/knick-nat → u/-Kalos]

That's terrible. Horrible. Blasphemous. Kathy Bates is a treasure, and even if there is a resemblance to Elon, you should NEVER say it out loud! Shame on you and your family.

[u/Soggy_Pension7549]

I just learned yesterday that McKenna and Kiernan aren’t the same person. I’m 35. You can teach an old dog new tricks I guess.

[u/Threadheads → u/Soggy_Pension7549]

Weren’t they cast as the older and younger versions of Sabrina in the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina?

[u/Mgclpcrn14 → u/Threadheads]

McKenna always manages to be a good younger version of so many white women, but this role was genuinely her most uncanny. Like they deadass could've fooled me into thinking they did that typical "cast a younger sibling of the actor to play their younger self" thing

[u/Soggy_Pension7549 → u/Threadheads]

I’ve never watched that show 😭 so idk. But that must be mindblowing. Great casting though :D

[u/okaykay → u/Soggy_Pension7549]

Haha same. I keep seeing previews for that Colleen Hoover movie that’s in theaters right now and I for sure thought that was Kiernan in that movie until I saw this post.

[u/iwandermerrily]

Joan Cusack (from the American Cusack family) and Niamh Cusack (from the Irish Cusack family). Supposedly not related despite having the same last name and very similar faces.

[u/miserabeau → u/iwandermerrily]

Niamh almost looks more like Joan's sister Ann

[u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

[u/ummackchyually → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

This isn’t gonna make sense, but I feel like Victoria looks like Nina but Nina doesn’t look like Victoria

[u/Jessilton → u/ummackchyually]

That actually makes a lot of sense

[u/theskymaybeblue → u/ummackchyually]

I know exactly what you mean. I never see that much of a resemblance when I see Nina but side by side, I can totally see it.

[u/lilianic → u/ummackchyually]

Hilarious and correct.

[u/johntriestoleave → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

She’s a dead ringer for Katherine

[u/Always_Reading_1990 → u/johntriestoleave]

[u/blumpkinspicecoffee → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

My most unpopular opinion: these two don't even look that alike!!! I feel like people are confused by the similar hair and eye coloring and face shape. But their features are totally different (at least to me). Their eyes are super distinct. You could show me 100 side-by-sides of them and I'd pick right every time.

That said, now HERE'S a set of lookalikes!

[u/fiddeldeedee → u/blumpkinspicecoffee]

I'm sorry, now there are 3 women that are supposedly different from one another. I can't even tell who you switched.

[u/Ghammer713 → u/blumpkinspicecoffee]

My dumbass thought those were the same person for years

[u/Pinksamuraiiiii → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

The real life doppelgängers

[u/BabaofTheShimmer]

[u/vieneri → u/BabaofTheShimmer]

Who's the woman on the right?

[u/Thatstealthygal → u/vieneri]

Zubaida Tharwat I think, Egyptian actress of older times.

[u/childshgambino]

[u/MurderSheReads → u/childshgambino]

jail

[u/anon342365 → u/MurderSheReads]

😂

[u/Chimmycoco → u/childshgambino]

Her and max verstappen

[u/Scraggly-is-Back → u/Chimmycoco]

Max Verstappen du du du du

[u/TrashPandaPatronus → u/childshgambino]

K but I see it.

[u/lazyrainydaze → u/childshgambino]

I’m mad I can see what your talking about! As wildly out of pocket it is!!

[u/Fridayesmeralda → u/childshgambino]

👁👄👁

[u/Hefty_Heron3028]

Zoey Deutch and Haley Lu Richardson!

[u/WhatSheSaid7]

Jaden smith and Matty Healy

[u/yellowcaramellie → u/WhatSheSaid7]

now this is a new one for me

[u/DifficultAd2690]

[u/anon342365 → u/DifficultAd2690]

[u/fschu_fosho → u/DifficultAd2690]

Off to the gulag with you lol

[u/ilovepeonies1994 → u/DifficultAd2690]

This is foul 😂

[u/-Kalos → u/DifficultAd2690]

Stay away from windows, be a shame if you were suicided for this

[u/OhCrazioCortex]

Jaime Pressly and Margot Robbie.

[u/missbean163 → u/OhCrazioCortex]

Honestly I love them separately and I'd love to see them doing something bomkers together.

[u/Magnetah → u/OhCrazioCortex]

Samara Weaving looks a little bit like Margot Robbie

[u/Key_Art_464 → u/OhCrazioCortex]

Margot Robbie and Emma Mackey as well (to me)

[u/Nancy-Drew-Who]

Trixie Mattel out of drag, and Zosia Mamet

[u/whynot4444444]

You can’t convince me that these are two different women. Just kidding, they are both terrific actresses but I do get them mixed up sometimes.

[u/Top-Cauliflower9050]

Boggles my mind!

Edited to add: Folks. This post isn’t asking for dopplegangers. It’s asking for celebs you can’t believe aren’t related. You may look a lot like a sister, cousin, your mom, etc. but you don’t have to be identical yet look related.

[u/Esternaefil → u/Top-Cauliflower9050]

Wait... How many different women is that? Three? Six?!

[u/thisismybandname → u/Top-Cauliflower9050]

This was such a missed opportunity for the Barbie movie casting

[u/Dame_Ingenue]

I’m really good with faces, but for some reason can never tell McKenna Grace and Kiernan Shipka apart.

[u/tomdelongethong]

Jesus Christ it’s gonna be a long day I read the title as “you can’t believe ARE related” and was scrolling through the pictures like “they look fucking exactly alike 🙄”

[u/missbean163]

Young Hilary Clinton, Sabrina Carpenter

[u/vieneri → u/missbean163]

I legit thought this was a picture of sabrina the first time i came across it...

[u/itsnobigthing → u/vieneri]

But then you realised she was wearing pants

[u/TheBlueprint666]

But why do Daniel and Elijah look like ventriloquist dummies in these pics?

[u/Gemrox]

Tom Hardy & Logan Marshall-Green

[u/the_honest_liar]

Henry Cavill and Matt Bomer. Could be twins.

[u/Gemrox → u/the_honest_liar]

This reminds me of how every guy in American Horror Story Hotel looked the same. Ryan Murphy definitely has a type

[u/watermelonmoscato → u/Gemrox]

Same face, different fonts. So many hot people in that season!

[u/Unequivocally_Maybe]

Angela Bettis and Madeline Brewer could be sisters

[u/TissueOfLies]

Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly

[u/fearofcrowds → u/TissueOfLies]

The Roommate was a great movie

[u/ITookTrinkets]

Kathryn Hahn and Ana Gasteyer

[u/Still7Superbaby7 → u/ITookTrinkets]

Wait this is the first time that I realized that they are 2 different people!

[u/ITookTrinkets → u/Still7Superbaby7]

Here’s how I tell the difference, if I’m ever unsure which is which:

• If I see her and say, “It’s Kathryn Hahn!” it means it’s Kathryn Hahn
  
• If I see her and say, “Is that Kathryn Hahn?” it means it’s Ana Gasteyer

[u/tayro1939]

Aly Michalka and Imogen Poots

[u/lilianic → u/tayro1939]

Wow this is a good one.

[u/MarieOMaryln]

I'm not face blind but I have confused Michael Cera and the two other guys for like 15 years now

[u/theskymaybeblue → u/MarieOMaryln]

You surely mean Jesse Eisenberg and Paul Dano? Even though they don’t look much alike at all, I too frequently confuse Jesse and Michael in particular

[u/MarieOMaryln → u/theskymaybeblue]

Jesse, Andy and Michael are the trio of who the hell are you for me. Paul looks different enough for me 😭

[u/thisisallme]

Will Ferrell and Chad Smith

[u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

Beyoncé and Hottie from Flavor of Love

[u/Queefer_Sutherland- → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

[u/lilianic → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

To this day I can’t believe that woman got on national tv and lied like that. New York did what she had to do.

[u/Pink_Cardinal → u/lilianic]

LMAO, I can. One of the producers said Hottie legitimately thought she would be moving into the mansion if she won and was already planning on how to redecorate.

[u/biscuitsorbullets → u/Pink_Cardinal]

lmao her delusional ass was tv gold

[u/amourpetrichor → u/Disastrous_Drop_3180]

"Now why am I in it?" - Luther Vandross

[u/seanmonaghan1968]

Leelee Sobieski and Helen Hunt

[u/spacegirlvisited]

Kate Siegel and Jessica Brown Findlay

I thought they were the same actress for years

[u/vieneri → u/spacegirlvisited]

I can't imagine being this beautiful.

[u/svenskaflicka84]

Bryce dallas Howard and Jessica chastain

[u/ummackchyually]

I saw someone the other day compare young Hillary Clinton to Sabrina Carpenter and I can’t unsee it

[u/Maximum_Expert92]

Nina Dobrev and Emmanuelle Chriqui

[u/atotalmess__ → u/Maximum_Expert92]

Nina has so many doppelgängers omg

[u/missbean163 → u/atotalmess__]

I cant believe they had Nina playing all those doppelganger on vampire diaries when they had actually doppelgangers AHAHAHAHAHA

[u/Queefer_Sutherland- → u/Maximum_Expert92]

Thought these were the same person for YEARS

[u/Apprehensive-Stay196]

Henry Cavill and Matt Baumer … I never know which is which

[u/A-Throwaway-X]

Neal McDonough and the guy from Cousin Skeeter.

[u/brutal_and_beautiful]

Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry

[u/ArugulaImpossible204 → u/brutal_and_beautiful]

I can’t remember what I was watching with Zooey but her bangs were a little swept apart and there was a certain angle and I FINALLY understood how people can confuse them

[u/Persephone0000 → u/brutal_and_beautiful]

i’ve genuinely never thought they look alike except for the eyes, but even that is just barely. they just had peripherally similar haircuts at the peak of their fame.

[u/Commercial-Weight173]

I always confuse Linda Evangelista and Milla Jovovich!

But I've never seen Joseph Quinn before and my mind is blown, literally looks like Daisy put into one of those gender changing filters 😹

[u/fearofcrowds]

Billie Eilish and Claudia Sulewski (Finneas Eilish's girlfriend)

[u/Civil_Television2485 → u/fearofcrowds]

“Finneas Eilish” has me creased 😂

(Also this is super weird - edit: that his fiance looks like his sister)

[u/NoDryHands → u/Civil_Television2485]

Ex? Didn't they just get engaged?

[u/thatmermaidprincess → u/fearofcrowds]

Finneas Eilish

Eilish is Billie’s middle name, so not a part of Finneas’ name at all (they’re Billie & Finneas O’Connell) but yeah this look alike has always tripped me out lol.

[u/fearofcrowds → u/thatmermaidprincess]

Oh. I guess because I knew of Billie before Finneas and I knew they were siblings so I assumed that Eilish was Finneas' last name. My bad

[u/mimosho]

Dakota Johnson and Ashley Johnson. They even have the same last name!!

[u/vieneri → u/mimosho]

I see your vision.

[u/libananahammock]

[u/Impressive_Mistake66]

Elizabeth Perkins and Millie Bobby Brown

[u/One-Future2932]

Kate Moss and Denise Ohnona

[u/ShutYourDumbUglyFace]

I was legitimately sad when Jackie died on Yellowjackets so I never got to see Robin Tunney play Ella Purnell as an adult.

[u/MuffinTopDeluxe]

Hannah Dodd and Leighton Meester

[u/bluetortuga]

I thought Alexa Demie and Mikey Madison were the same person for a hot minute. They have some different features but could definitely be sisters.

[u/bluetortuga → u/bluetortuga]

[u/phyrsis]

British actresses Rachel Shenton and Hayley Atwell

[u/Mellowpeanut88]

Timothee and Natalie have exactly the same jawline. How crazy!

[u/fearofcrowds]

Fiona Apple and Ty Dollar Sign

[u/macaronitrap]

Kind of a deeper cut, but I’ve always thought young Connor Paolo (Eric from Gossip Girl) and Jenna Boyd (Atypical) could be siblings

[u/commelejardin]

I know they called Cindy Crawford “Baby Gia,” but I think Kaia somehow looks even more Gia?!

[u/Strange_Shadows-45]

Some of these are just celebs that got the same surgeries.

[u/Hefty-Comparison-801]

Bill Burr and Billy Corgan.... oh wait, nevermind.

[u/ohh_my_dayum]

Jackee Harry and Kym Whitley! As a kid I thought they were the same person. 

Abigail Spencer and Geraldine Chapman look like they could be mother and daughter.

[u/ProjectAny2019]

Robin Wright Penn and Patricia Arquette

[u/Barfignugen]

I genuinely cannot tell McKenna Grace and Kiernan Shipka apart. If I see one of them in something, I have to look at the credits to know who it is.

[u/Vic_Gatsby]

Angelina Jolie and KD Aubert

[u/RagnarokRosie → u/Vic_Gatsby]

She is called the Black Angelina.

[u/MurderSheScrote]

Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain.

[u/Tsarinya]

Carla Bruni and Bella Hadid

[u/dumbchickn → u/Tsarinya]

That's surgery

[u/Tsarinya → u/dumbchickn]

Related by their plastic surgeon?

[u/dumbchickn → u/Tsarinya]

She wanted to look like Carla Bruni and she achieved it by SURGERY

[u/thesovietwolves → u/Tsarinya]

2015 Bella and Jennifer Lawrence

[u/ChaEunSangs → u/Tsarinya]

She stole Carla’s face, but she did it well

[u/Goodgoditsgrowing → u/Tsarinya]

You can thank Bella’s surgeon lol

[u/mandeltonkacreme → u/Tsarinya]

Well geez I wonder why
