Margot Robbie & Emma Mackey
The look-alike actresses both star in the movie Barbie, and it was no coincidence.
"I've been getting told for years that I look like the girl from Sex Education, who is Emma Mackey," main star Margot told BuzzFeed in a video interview posted July 9, 2023. "She plays one of the Barbies in the movie pretty much because [director] Greta [Gerwig] and I thought it would be funny. We were gonna do like this whole joke about us looking similar."
She continued, "Then once we got all dressed up as our Barbies, we were kind of like, 'We don't actually look that similar.'' When she's got her brown hair and I've got my blonde hair, we don't look that similar. So we didn't put that joke in the movie. But when people come up and say, 'I loved you in Sex Education,' I just say, 'Thank you. Thank you so much.'"
Margot Robbie & Jaime Pressly
"The celebrity I am mistaken for is Margot Robbie," the My Name Is Earl actress told Us Weekly in comments posted in 2022. "It happens all the time."
Emily Simpson & Khloe Kardashian
Talk about reality TV worlds colliding.
Some fans can't help but point out similarities between Real Housewives of Orange County star Emily Simpson and Keeping Up With the Kardashians veteran Khloe Kardashian.
"I can see a little resemblance," Simpson told E! News in March 2021. "I think it's an overall thing. She's very tall and she's very curvy. We're very voluptuous. I'm not trying to look like her. I'm just trying to look like the best version of myself."
Jessica Chastain & Bryce Dallas Howard
These stars both rock the red hair and, in this photo, a similar style.
And The Help co-stars look so alike that director Ron Howard mistook Chastain for his own daughter.
Chastain told AP the mishap took place at an Apple Store, explaining, "I was, like, walking by, I was like, 'Oh, that's Ron Howard.' And then my friend was with me (and) said he turned to someone, he goes, 'I think I just saw Bryce.' We look so much alike."
Bryce confirmed that the story was "legit" in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, saying her dad "was, like, shook. He really was."
"At first he was like, 'You really look so much alike,' " she said. "And I mean, obviously, I'm incredibly flattered, so it's great."
Reese Witherspoon & Carrie Underwood
Neither celeb was upset when a social media user thought Witherspoon was Underwood while eating at a barbecue place in Nashville last summer.
"To the woman in the parking lot who just asked me if I was Carrie Underwood," the Legally Blonde star tweeted, "You officially made my day."
The Grammy winner quickly responded, "YOUR day?!?!?!?! That lady just made my whole life!"
Mark Ruffalo & Noah Centineo
"He's way better-looking than I was," Ruffalo said on the Tonight Show in March 2019. "Are you kidding me? I wish I looked like that, I swear to God."
Hugh Grant & Seth Meyers
People have told me that we look alike," Meyers said on Late Night With Seth Meyers in June 2018. As Grant said, "I know."
Anne Hathaway & Amal Clooney
"I hope that I become half the woman she is," the actress said about George Clooney's wife, an international human rights lawyer, in an interview with Extra in 2015. "She's so accomplished and it's so thrilling to look at someone and be like, 'Wow. You really are making the world a better place.'"
Daniel Radcliffe & Elijah Wood
Harry Potter and Frodo are well aware fans constantly confuse them, addressing their look-alike status in a joint interview with Empire magazine.
"Though we are both short, pale, blue-eyed and brown-haired, I would say we don't actually look alike," Radcliffe said. "But the idea of us is exactly the same."
The Harry Potter star was once even asked to autograph a photo of Wood while in Japan, with the seeker not realizing he was not the Lord of the Rings lead.
"So the quickest way to deal with it was to just write, 'I am not Elijah Wood, signed Daniel Radcliffe' and then hope someone translated that for him later," Radcliffe explained.
Isla Fisher & Amy Adams
The actresses, who starred together in Nocturnal Animals, are aware of the comparison. In 2016, Fisher said on NBC's Today show that she once cut and pasted Adams' face over hers for her family's holiday card.
Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly
The Gossip Girl and Friday Night Lights actresses look so similar that they were cast as the leads in 2011's The Roommate, a Single White Female-esque horror flick.
Mychal Kendricks & Drake
The Philadelphia Eagles player lamented to TMZ Sports that "too many people" think he looks like the rapper. Let's just say, neither should worry about the comparison—hotness all around!
Amber Valletta & Taylor Schilling
The actresses look like they were separated at birth
Allen Leech & Niall Horan
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen pointed out the Downton Abbey actor's resemblance to the One Direction singer.
Seth Meyers & Nat Faxon
Double take! The SNL funnyman and Oscar-winner could be brothers (or cousins at the least!).
Rihanna & Rita Ora
The Barbadian beauty and British singer share a flare for fiery fashions.
Chelsea Handler & Elizabeth Banks
These two get mistaken for each other all the time. Just ask them. "When we were at the White House correspondence dinner, we both went and Bill O'Reilly was talking to me and I said, 'I think you're confusing me with Elizabeth Banks,' because I wanted to get the f--k away from him," the comedian said when Banks stopped by Chelsea Lately.
Aaron Paul & Tom Felton
Whether it's magic or just coincidence, the Breaking Bad star looks a lot like this Harry Potter actor.
