Celebrities are known to be easily recognizable in public. It’s also no surprise that some well-known public figures will look similar to one another — but the likelihood of this happening is actually slimmer than you would think.
According to BBC, the chances of a human being having a doppelgänger is only 1 in 135. That’s 0.7%. So the chances of two stars resembling each other are even smaller. Yet, there are a handful of artists that are thought to be “twins.”
A recent look-alike trend on social media has gained a lot of attention, revealing new various big names who look eerily similar. It started on X when one user said Rochelle Aytes from Criminal Minds and Barbie star Margot Robbie looked like the same person with different skin colors.
This, of course, prompted more users to share stars who they believe look similar, and it’s got many people second-guessing themselves.

The two who started it all. 

Besides starring in Criminal Minds, Rochelle has also been a part of works such as White Chicks and Left 4 Dead 2. Margot, on the other hand, has played roles such as Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movies and the titular character in Barbie.

While both actresses have not yet worked together, someone on social media mentioned that the two look quite similar despite being of different races. 

Javier Bardem is a Spanish actor who appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean and has received a variety of awards. His celebrity lookalike, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is an American actor and is widely known for his work in The Walking Dead. Both are in their 50s and have features that look alike.

A Reddit user even said: “No, they’re not twins. They’re clearly the same person.”

Both Kiera Knightley and Natalie Portman starred in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Portman played Amidala, while the former took on the role of Sabé, Queen Amidala’s handmaiden.

Zach Braff looks very old here but in any TV show, Dax Shepherd is basicly "the guy who looks like Zach Braff" to me.
