Opinions? 13 musicians and actors who are very similar to each other

The concept of doppelganger It is not new or unknown for many of us. In fact, in literature and cinema we find stories of characters who meet others who are like them, whether in flesh and blood or in ghostly form.

In fact, it is said that every person in the world has a doppelganger who lives a life opposite to the one we lead. Something that makes us think about what would happen if we met them on the street one day (Just like, for example, what happens to Lizzie McGuire on her trip to Italy).

Had they noticed? These musicians and actors resemble each other

Although some believe this theory is not supported, When we see people who are similar to each other, we think about whether there is someone out there who physically looks like us. And we are sure that this thought will come back to your mind after seeing this list.

We have made it our mission to collect musicians and actors who are very similar and have no family connection.the same ones that prove to us that the doppelganger They exist, and not just in a fantasy universe:

Richard Gere and Roger Waters

Richard Gere He is not only known for his roles in films like “Pretty Woman”, “Days of Heaven” or “Always by Your Side” (yes, that of the Hachi dog), but also because it shares several physical characteristics with him British musician and co-founder of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters.

In fact, Waters himself once said this around 2012 Once a man came up to him in a hotel and when he looked closely at him he said, “You’re not Richard.”. Although Roger claims that he doesn’t look like the actor, many of us think the opposite.

Tommy Lee and Criss Angel

In addition to being Mötley Crüe drummer and former Pamela AndersonThe Greek musician Tommy Lee is also considered by some to not exist Criss Angel, American illusionist with whom he has several similarities, such as the same appearance (well, in the early 2000s it was) and even similar facial structures.

At some point there was a rumor that Tommy Lee and Criss Angel were the same person and some even wondered if it really wasn’t a trick on Angel’s part. Something that both denied when they appeared together on red carpets or in advertising campaigns.

Billy Corgan and Gerard Way

Ok, they’re both musicians: On the one hand, we have Corgan, leader of the Smashing Pumpkins and on the other hand we have Way, who you probably love as the lead singer of My Chemical Romance (Please go back to Mexico now). And yes, both are quite similar to each other.

Just watch Billy in the video for “1979” or “Tonight Tonight.” and tell us that pale skin and green eyes in clips like this don’t remind you of Gerard Way “I don’t love you” or “Famous last words”. In fact, many believe that Gerard Way is Billie’s son, and The World Is A Vampire creator sometimes jokes about it.

Jack White and Johnny Depp

In 2016 and during his performance at the Sundance Festival Jack White appeared on the carpet with an appearance very similar to that of Edward with the scissor handsa character from Tim Burton’s world that Johnny Depp played in the 1990 film.

Photographers, press and people in general They wondered if it wasn’t the 60-year-old actoralthough it is also true that the comments about the similarity between the two were already years old and were a rather recurring theme on social networks.

There are actors and musicians who are so similar to each other that they are like two drops of water

Alice Cooper and Steve Carell

By this count We swear you’ll never see the beloved (and sometimes hated) Michael Scott the way he was again.because few people have noticed how similar they are Alice CooperAmerican heavy metal singer, cum actor Steve Carell.

From aspects such as the nose and teeth, Cooper and Carell are almost like twins. Steve knows this because in an interview with Jimmy Fallon, The Office star said he could see the resemblance and even recognize it He said he met Alice Cooper years ago when he served the musician at a restaurant.

Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel

Talented, pretty, and with big, colored eyes are some of the physical traits they share. Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel, who practically look like two drops when they both have black hair (We say this often because Katy loves to constantly change her appearance).

The similarity is no secret either. In 2020, Katy Perry invited the actress to star in the music video for her song “Not the End of the World”. where aliens kidnap Zooey Deschanel thinking they are actually kidnapping Katy.

Ed Sheeran and Rupert Grint

Ed Sheeran mentioned on a podcast how much he was mistaken for Rupert Grint (who you probably remember because he played Ron Weasley in the “Harry Potter” saga) as he walked down the street and that’s why he wanted the actor to play him in a music video.

The opportunity finally presented itself “Lego House”, a song in which Grint plays an obsessive Ed Sheeran fan who desperately tries to look like him. This was ultimately achieved by Tom Fellton (Draco Malfoy), who convinced his red-haired colleague to agree to appear in Ed Sheeran’s clip.

Harry Styles and Mick Jagger

In 2022 and after the media compared the former One Direction to the leader of the Rolling StonesMick Jagger said that although he is a fan of Harry Styles and the two even have a good friendly relationship, in his opinion the resemblance to the singer is only physical.

“He doesn’t have a voice like me, nor does he move on stage like me. He only bears a superficial resemblance to me when I was younger, which is fine, there’s nothing he can do about it., said the Rolling Stones leader in an interview with The Sunday Times newspaper.

Bono and Robin Williams

This was another physical similarity that was talked about for years (especially in the first decade of the 2000s). And although Bono and the late Robin Williams had one thing in common before the world, The actor did not agree with this.

During the premiere of Happy Feet 2 in 2011, Williams recounted how someone mistook him for Bono in Paris: “Only people who are really drunk confuse me with Bono. “You must be completely lost to think I’m Bono.”said the actor, who admitted at the time that wearing glasses made him look like the singer.

Anthony Kiedis and Justin Long

At the beginning of this year Justin Long He took to his Instagram account to ask the internet for help as it was announced that a biographical film would be made about him Anthony Kiedis, leader of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and he knows that his resemblance to the musician may make him the perfect person for the role.

“And yes, I realize that I have to spend a lot of time in the gym. “Take singing lessons… and don’t wear glasses,” wrote Justin Long in the post, in which he attached two photos proving to us that he could very well be Kiedis’ double.

Mac Miller and Angus Cloud

When the Euphoria series premiered in 2019, Fezco was one of the characters that garnered the most attention. a drug dealer played by the deceased Angus Cloudwho was not only charismatic but also won the hearts of many because of his resemblance to Mac Miller.

The physical resemblance between the two was so great that We were looking forward to seeing him give life to Mac Miller in a biographical film. Unfortunately, that was no longer possible as Cloud died of an accidental drug overdose in July last year, just as the rapper did in 2018.

Jude Law and Damon Albarn

Friends of protests, companions of events and even collaborations in short films like “The boy in the oak tree‘are some of the things that Jude Law and Damon Albarn have had a long-standing friendship. That and the fact that years ago both were identical.

The truth is not so much anymore, but Back then, Damon’s fans even wanted the actor to play the musician in a film. about his life. Something some people aren’t so sure about anymore.

Chad Smith and Will Ferrell

Of course, when we talk about famous “doppelgangers”, we cannot ignore this practically identical couple. And if they don’t believe us, it’s because they never saw it Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Will Ferrell appear dressed identically on Jimmy Fallon’s show.

Wearing a Kiss t-shirt, a black jacket, and a backwards hat, Chad and Will looked so identical that not even the people in the audience (or those of us watching the show) could tell who was who. They were definitely separated at birth!
