Finding celebrity dopplegängers via social media may have become a trend in itself, however it's not just us regular folk that can bear similarities to celebrities. There are some famous faces just so similar to each other you'd be forgiven if you thought they were related.
For example, remember that time where you watched a new movie trailer and caught yourself thinking, 'Wait, has Katy Perry moved into acting now?', only to later realise that you were actually watching Zooey Deschanel? We've all done it.
Well there are even more celebrity lookalikes than you think, we've discovered and judging from previous interviews and social media comments, the A-Listers are very aware of it too.
Take a look at our take on some of the most uncanny celebrity lookalikes that will make make you do a double take:
1
Dua Lipa and Megan Fox
Dua Lipa shared a series of photos of herself in October 2022 on Instagram in a black strapless dress and sheer elbow-length gloves for a party in London.
In the snap, she wore her dark black hair in loose Hollywood-inspired curls, a red lip and black cat eye eyeliner, and in the process made us do a double take given she looks just like actor Megan Fox.
Anyone else notice their resemblance?

Chrissy Teigen and Khloé Kardashian
A recent video clip posted by Chrissy Teigen on Instagram has prompted fans to point out her striking resemblance to Khloé Kardashian, and we can see why.
Let's start with the hair. While Kardashian may have changed her hair recently – as ever – the bob hairstyle now sported by Teigen reminds us of the one previously donned by the Good American co-founder.
Not to mention the pair's full brows are notably similar.
Under the recent clip, one commenter wrote: 'You look like gorgeous Khloé Kardashian [sic]', and a follower echoed their statement, writing: 'You look more like Khloe than Khloe. [sic]''Khloe is that you?' read another.
We wonder what Kardashian and Teigen think.

Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry
The hair. The eyes. The cheekbones!
Last year, Perry even admitted she previously used the similarity to the New Girl star to her advantage in the early days of her career.
During a conversation on Petty's Instagram Live between the two actors on December 21, Perry confessed to pretending to be Deschanel: 'When I moved to L.A., maybe 18 years ago, I was pretty much a nobody, and you were like just getting so huge at that time, it was like Zooey Deschanel ran the world. In that moment, I was so complimented to look like you. When I first got to L.A., I went to the club. A lot. And I wanted to get into the club, but I had no money, I had no clout, I had nothing, and sometimes I would pose as you to get into the club.'

Emma Watson and Kiernan Shipka
Humour appears to be the answer for Kiernan Shipka when it comes to be mistaken for the Harry Potter alum.
Shipka who plays, Sabrina Spellman in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, was mistaken for another famous spellcaster on Instagram in January 2020.
When a user commented 'So pretty Emma Watson' on a selfie of Shipka, rather than correcting, Kiernan posted the perfect response, writing, 'Thank you. I had an amazing time filming Harry Potter & am really thrilled about all the new projects I'm doing now.'

Isla Fisherand Amy Adams
It’s not just their gorgeous red hair that has us seeing double with these two actors.
Despite a difference in eye colour, the Arrival and Bachelorette actors often get mistaken for each other. Fisher joked about the duo's striking resemblance in a 2009 Allure cover story, stating that if her film Shopaholic 'is a hit, then it was Isla Fisher in the movie ... and if it doesn't work out, it was Amy Adams.’
Fisher also used a photo of Adams in her Christmas card in 2016, successfully fooling both family and friends.

Zoe Saldana and Thandie Newton
The two actor shave starred in numerous blockbuster hits between them like Avatar, Westworld, The Pursuit of Happiness and Guardians of the Galaxy.
But their stand out performances don’t seem to have stopped Saldana’s own mum from getting the pair mixed up.
The actor explained in an interview on The Late Late Show in 2019: 'My mom still thinks that I’m in Westworld. I'm like, "years ago you thought that I was in Traffic". Mom, you did not give birth to Thandie Newton.'

Mila Kunis and Sarah Hyland
The Modern Family actor and Bad Moms star appear to be more than okay with twinning.
After a Twitter user pointed out in 2018 how much the two looked alike, Hyland responded with a simple 'We Know ;)'.
In 2014, Hyland told InStyle she had discussed her resemblance with Kunis - who also admitted to being regularly mistaken for Hyland.
'She [Kunis] came up to me and said she gets called me all the time too. he said that sometimes she pretends she's me because it makes her feel young. I asked if I could pretend to be her next time somebody asks me if I'm her, and she said OK.'
No arguments here it seems.

Jennifer Connelly and Demi Moore
The dark hair, the piercing hazel eyes and iconic character portrayals are enough to make you believe that Moore and Connelly are one in the same.
In an interview for The Times Magazine in October 2016, Connelly joked about the resemblance: ‘Someone said, "You're Demi Moore's sister!" If she does have a sister, it's not me'.

Robbie told BBC Radio 1 she was eating a burger when someone came up to her and said: 'I loved you in Sex Education, that show was so cool... and I was like, "Oh I'm so sorry that wasn't me".
When Mackey was replayed the clip by the radio host Greg James, she and co-star Ncuti Gatwa were naturally thrilled.
'It just made me laugh... all the people who are close to me don't see it at all but I'll take it. I think she's amazing,' said Mackey.
The actor’s co-star Aimee Lou Wood even agrees telling us that their likeness is unmatched but that her co-star Mackey 'is her own person'.

The two actually starred together in The Help. After finally being in the same room together for the table read, Chastain says they ‘grabbed each other's hands' and went to a mirror.

And I didn’t want to give her a bad name, so I took a photo with them and maybe someone will say some day, "That’s not Jennifer Garner."

Matt Bomer and Henry Cavill
It appears the only true way to keep from mixing up these two Hollywood heavyweights is to play a simple game of Brits verses Americans.
In 2019, All My Children actor Bomer acknowledged the resemblance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show joking, 'I wish, sorry to drag your name down Henry Cavill,' when the similarities were pointed out during a game of celebrity lookalikes.
