We like to think that we’re special. One of a kind. But that’s not necessarily the case. At least when it comes to our appearance.

Many people have doppelgängers, and some are so unbelievably similar, it looks like there’s been a glitch in the Matrix, and genes are getting copy-pasted left and right.

If that was the case, hackers would like to look into Imgur user BettyBish. When she was a little girl in the mid-90s, she could’ve been actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ double. Don’t believe me? Continue scrolling and check out the now-viral side-by-side pics she posted a couple of days ago!

If you’re too young to remember, Jonathan Taylor Thomas (or JTT) was an absolute star in the ’90s. A floppy-haired child actor with a chain-smoker’s rasp, he scored his career-making gig as Randy Taylor on Home Improvement in 1991, and the show was an instant hit. By the time he was 12, Thomas was known all over America as well as suffering from burnout.

“You have school, friends, learning your lines and making sure your performance is up to speed,” he told People in 1994. “I can’t tell you how many shows I’ve done with full-blown migraine headaches.”

Here’s how BettyBish looks like now

e had other big roles, including voicing young Simba in The Lion King (1994), but eventually kinda… disappeared. Thomas went back to school. He studied history and philosophy at Harvard and later attended Columbia and St. Andrew’s University in Scotland.

“I never took the fame too seriously,” he said. “It was a great period in my life, but it doesn’t define me. When I think back on the time, I look at it with a wink. I focus on the good moments I had, not that I was on a lot of magazine covers.”

And here’s what people said about her side-by-sides

Her upper lip is noticeably fuller than his. But apart from that I agree, they're completely lookalikes, like twins.

I love look-a-likes. The way our genes can mix around and pop out two unrelated people that look so similar is amazing. Great article on BBC about it. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20160712-you-are-surprisingly-likely-to-have-a-living-doppelganger
