Celebrities who look so much like another celebrity, it’s frightening

Scary.
Daniel Radcliffe, Elijah Wood

The distinctive features of many Hollywood A-listers are part and parcel of their star appeal – after all, who could mistake Brad Pitt’s chiseled jawline or Elizabeth Taylor’s famed violet eyes?

However, we’ve noticed that quite a few stars in Tinseltown share more than a passing resemblance to each other – and for some of these celebrity duos, the similarities are downright uncanny!

From Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman to Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry, these A-listers have us seeing double.

Can you tell them all apart? Click through our gallery to see more celebrity look-alikes.

While appearing on the Late, Late, Show earlier this week, Harry Potter‘s Rupert Grint said he still gets mistaken for Ed Sheeran. “It’s kind of 50/50 now,” he told host James Corden. “It’s like [when] someone stops me, it could go either way. I could be Ed or I could be me.” Even other celebrities get the pair confused. “Leo Sayer [the singer], he came up to me and said he loved my music, of course thinking I was Ed,” Rupert recalled. “And I play along.”

Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain starred alongside each other in The Help in 2011, and it’s a wonder no one got them completely confused (although Jessica’s platinum-blonde do in that flick certainly helped).

Who knew Harry Potter and Frodo Baggins would end up looking the same? Daniel Radcliffe says that he has even signed autograph as “not Elijah Wood” in the video on the next slide.

Rita Ora and Rihanna

Rita Ora’s resemblance to Rihanna isn’t hard to see. These two could be long-lost twins.

Amy Adams and Isla Fisher

Amy Adams and Isla Fisher share such a similar resemblance, Isla has even revealed she swapped out her face with Amy’s on her family’s Christmas card one year – and no one noticed!

Jaime Pressly and Margot Robbie look scarily similar, but you wouldn’t think it until you saw them side by side.

With their piercing blue eyes and chiselled jaw lines, The Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder and Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe could be the same beautiful man.

Carey Mulligan has dyed her hair brown since this picture, and it’s a good thing too, since her and Michelle Williams looked very similar with their chic pixie cuts.

There are few people it would be better to look like – lucky Emily Ratajkowski and Kendall Jenner!

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Laurence Fishburne are both critically acclaimed actors, and Children of Men actor Chiwetel can look forward to looking just like The Matrix actor Laurence in about 15 years!

Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon could pass as brothers – in fact, the pair have even joked about forming a pact with each other where they play along if they’re mistakenly spotted by a fan of the other’s!

Minka Kelly and Leighton Meester’s resemblance is so strong, it’s no wonder the pair were cast together in The Roommate. The 2011 horror flick involved Leighton’s copycat character becoming scarily obsessed with Minka’s character and even emulating her look.

BFFs Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift both share plenty of things in common – endless pins, trim and toned physiques and short blonde hair. It’s no wonder they’re so close!

Spanish actor Javier Bardem must get mistaken for fellow actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan all the time.

Zoe Saldana and Jada Pinkett-Smith look even more alike than Jada and her mini-me daughter Willow Smith!

Keira Knightley actually played Natalie Portman’s double in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace because of how similar the two looked. The two gorgeous brunettes also look quite a bit like one of Old Hollywood’s most famous stars – Audrey Hepburn!

Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green are two well dressed, good-looking men. So it’s a good thing there are two of them!

Looks like Ian Somerhalder isn’t the only The Vampire Diaries star with a doppelgänger – Nina Dobrev and Victoria Justice could be twins!

Parks and Rec star Aubrey Plaza and Kourtney Kardashian could be sisters.
