Look Alike Celebrities

Do you ever watch TV and think, that actress has got to be related to that one from that movie. IMDB has an app for that. So, over time, I’ve noticed I think that way about a lot of actors and actresses so here is a random list of all the look alike celebrities whom I think should be cast as relatives in TV or film sometime in the future.

Brianne Davis and Hayden Panettiere

Leelee Sobieski and Helen Hunt

Dana Delany and Erin Karpluk (Delany and Kerpluk even once wore side pig/ponytails)

Josh Holloway and Warren Christie (I swear, they are different people!)

Bridget Fonda, Emilie de Ravin, and Claudia Lee

Michael Vartan and Lucas Bryant

Rosamund Pike and Jewel Staite

Carla Gugino and Katie Holmes

Carla Gugino and Paula Marshall

Elizabeth Reaser and Paula Marshall

Cameron Diaz and Miranda Kerr

Ione Skye and Sigourney Weaver

Bailee Madison, Madison McLaughlin, and Katie Holmes

Katie Holmes, Paula Marshall, and Elizabeth Reaser

Malin Åkerman and Kate Bosworth

Alexis Bledel and Robin Tunney (proof, more proof)

Meryl Streep and Jennifer Ehle

Rachel McAdams and Piper Perabo

Alan Ruck and Edward Norton (proof)

Katie Holmes and Margaret Colin (they portrayed on-screen mother and daughter)

Elizabeth Perkins and Margaret Colin

Wendie Malick and Katie Holmes

Jennifer Connolly and a girl from a movie I watched and now can’t remember (driving me crazy!)

Who do you think must share an ancestor to look so much alike?

I’ll admit here that I had a twin in college. She and I were often mistaken for one another even though her eyes are blue and mine are green. Her classmates would approach me to ask for notes from class and I’d say I didn’t know what they were talking about. They thought I was just being mean and keeping the notes to myself. There was one nun on campus who couldn’t tell us apart. I explained each time I was Evin not Angela, but she insisted we both had faces of the angels. Things only a nun would say!

    I did it once. I thought you were Angela and I realized (at the last minute!) that NO, you weren’t. LOL I had forgotten about that.

      I nearly had forgotten that too, Kim, until I started writing this post. I think Sister Raymond was one who mixed us up. Another one too. I met Ang when I visited CHC the very first time and didn’t think we looked alike at all, but she’s beautiful so being told we did was very nice to hear.

    Just found this post looking for pics of Robin Tunney and Alexis Bledel together. Seriously, why doesn’t somebody cast them together?

    My vote is for Ellen Pompeo and Renee Zelwiger (pre-whatever-she-had-done).

    I always thought Jake Gyllenhall and Toby Maguire should play brothers, and then they did, in a film called Brothers. Unfortunately the premise didn’t excite me at all but I was pretty psyched to see that they were in the roles I had decided they were born to play.

    Another one that is admittedly quite facial-hair/scruff dependent is Richard Armitage and Daniel Radcliffe.
