InStyle recently posted some side-by-side celebrity look-alikes, and the results are part eerie, part fascinating. Check out a gallery of famous fake twins after the cut!
Some stars, like Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry, are well-known for looking alike. But readers may find others, like Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, to be unexpected (but accurate) choices. [via InStyle]
The distinct similarity between Ian Somerhalder and Chace Crawford actually startled me at first, and I still had to do a double-take between Perry and Deschanel. This gallery definitely made my morning a bit more interesting!
What do you think of the photos? Who looks the most alike?

For some reason, I used to get Eliza Dushku and Leighton Meester mixed up all the time.
With some of these, though, I think it’s more similar hair/facial hair and make-up that make the look alike. Some are just creepy, though

I noticed the resemblance between JGL and Heath Ledger awhile back, it’s pretty crazy how much they resemble each other. I pretty much fell in love with JGL after I saw 500 Days of Summer.

@Ni_Shi_Wo_De@xanga - That’s a good one.
I don’t like Blake Lively, but I don’t like KE”dollarsign”HA more. They need to give Blake Lively some better look-a-like.. Maybe the girl who played Shia Labeouf’s neighbor in Disturbia. I think they look alike more.. And with JGL & Heath Ledger (RIP), I think JGL’s older brother (RIP, as well) could pass off as a twin with Heath. Heath and JGL can pass as brothers though.

Some of those I agree look a lot a like, but some of those I really think it’s just the haircut and makeup that is making them look a lot more similar than they really are. It has a lot to do with what is in style, I think. Like my sister told me once on the bus she saw two girls that from head to toe were wearing almost the exact same outfit but they weren’t together.

the power of makeup or they are just born this way?
guest
i was totally surprised by kristin stewart and alicia silverstone! whoa!
guest
wow, these are crazy!!

If I were Blake Lively I would be SUPER-PISSED to be compared to Kesha, of all people. Main differences: Kesha is not attractive or talented, whereas Blake Lively is. Well, she’s pretty at least. I’ve never seen her act, but I think that even most members of the animal kingdom have more talent than Kesha.

What happened to Zooey Deschanel and (possibly) Katy Perry?

Keira Knightly actually PLAYED Natalie Portman in a movie once…
Bet no one knows what I’m talking about…
Yup… I’m that much of a nerd…
guest
@SirNickDon@xanga - @LKJSlain@xanga - Phantom Menace no?
guest
@LKJSlain@xanga - I thought everyone knew about that. I guess that makes me the nerd.
guest
@LKJSlain@xanga - Yep. Originally, Kiera was supposed to play Amidala. They ended up switching that and she played the double.
She died in Clone Wars.
Nevermind. Still alive lol

@stupid_systemus@xanga - No, she didn’t. Different characters, different names.
Also different actresses. You are thinking of Dorme’. Dorme’ was played by another talented actress named Rachel Byrne.
Technically, the character that Keira played WAS “Padme’” as she was a “stand in” for Queen Amidala. Her character’s name was “Sabe’”
>_>

zac efron and jared leto look a lot alike.
guest
@LKJSlain@xanga - yes I do….Star Wars Episode I
guest
Amy Adams and Isla Fisher.. I thought they were the same person!!

@grizzlybearr@xanga - RIGHT? I never understood why in “17 again” they didn’t talk to Jared, or at LEAST someone who looked a little bit more like Zac…
Matthew looks NOTHING like him.
guest
@LKJSlain@xanga - I do! I do! That is why I kept getting them confused at first. xD
guest
I think Amanda Seyfried and Gemma Ward are the eeriest couple. can’t tell them apart. I noticed the resemblance beween Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley too a while ago, I sometimes have to look at captions or descrptions to be able to say who is who but I usually know it.
guest
kesha does NOT look like blake lively.
guest
I think Natalie and Kiera are the closest match. I heard that their own mothers couldn’t tell them apart during the filming of Star Wars.
guest
WHAT about Ian Somerhalder and a younger Rob Lowe!!
guest
Wow love it, I so want to find my double!!!
guest
nope. kim k is cher.

I disagree with most of them. But I do agree with one of the comments above that says some of them can pass as siblings though.
guest
I don’t know who 90% of these people are so I don’t know which ones are celebrities and which ones are look alikes, hehehe
guest
@LKJSlain – hahah that would have been awesome if Jared Leto played the older zac.

@grizzlybearr@xanga - that was one movie that I was actually totally okay with (that was supposedly “teen” and “stupid”)
Husband and I loved it so much that we went out and bought it. AHAHA
guest
