Distinguishing Features

Lucy Hale

A list &amp; photo gallery of famous women who look like dolls. Gigantic eyes, porcelain skin, and dainty pointy chin = doll, right? No. That is only true when the eyes are made of glass, the skin / chin of plastic or something, and the hair of creepy doll hair. These actresses, models, and singers all look like they would like to sit at your tiny table and chat over tea, or maybe they could just&nbsp;sit on your shelf at night and watch you sleep. Many are models whose doll-like features keep them looking young and fresh (even if they are 5&#39;10, like model Lily Cole). Others are entertainers who look like little children even though they have been of-age for years (Lucy Hale), much to the delight of their male fan bases. Some of these ladies even have actual dolls designed in their likeness, including pop star Selena Gomez, action hero Emily Browning (OK, fine, it&#39;s an &quot;action figure&quot;), and Dorothy Gale herself, Judy Garland. Vote up the celebrities who look most like dolls, and downvote famous girls and women who always appear to be 100% human.&nbsp;

Celebrities

Maybe it&#39;s time people took a moment to look at themselves in the mirror - not because they need to reflect on their lives or ridicule themselves, but rather&nbsp;because it&#39;s entirely possible they look like a celebrity of the opposite gender. Compiled here are some mind-blowing photos of <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-girls-who-look-like-dolls/carly-kiel?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">girls who look</a> like <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/hottest-male-celebrities" target="_blank">male celebrities</a>. Yes, you read that sentence correctly. Females who look like male celebrities.

This is the father of the mother of all photo galleries of celebrity lookalikes. Are the women who look like the male celebrities related to them? Why is there such an uncanny resemblance? No one really knows. Either way, the similarities these women bear to male celebrities are quite jaw-dropping. Check them out below and vote up the women who most oddly take after male celebrities.

Funny

These photos of cartoon doppelgangers in real life are definitive proof&nbsp;that <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-cartoon-characters-of-the-90s">cartoon characters</a> live among us. Sure, you could argue that they're people who simply look like animated characters, but maybe there's more to it than that. With all of the technological advances going on these days, is it crazy to think that characters from your <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/my-favorite-cartoons-of-all-time">favorite cartoon TV shows</a> and <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/top-50-greatest-animated-films-of-all-time">animated films</a> have figured out a way to cross over to this dimension? Take a look at these pictures of cartoons in real life and decide for yourself.And if you ever encounter cartoon character lookalikes in public, make sure you grab their hand and blink really fast three times. In the meantime, vote up the most uncanny cartoon lookalikes below!

Historical Figures

They say history repeats itself. They also say each of us has a doppleganger, someone roaming the planet at this very moment who looks just like us. But do they say history repeats itself with identical-looking people? They probably should. On her Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/royalty_now_/" target="_blank">royalty_now_</a>, Graphic Designer &amp; History Enthusiast&nbsp;Becca Saladin creates uncanny modern imaginings of historical figures from their statues and paintings. Looking closely at Saladin&#39;s work, one can&#39;t help but be struck: those modern historical figures look a lot like real famous people. Even if that means Billy Joel was a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-founding-fathers/amylindorff" target="_blank">Founding Father</a>.

Internet

They say there's somebody out there for everyone, and doppelgangers add an entirely new dimension to that phrase. As many fans have noted, certain celebrities <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-look-alike/evan-lambert">already possess uncanny similarities</a> to each other, and celebrities, at least in this instance, are just like us. Collected here&nbsp;are random people who look exactly like each other, noticed the resemblance, and took a picture.Sure, celebrity doppelgangers are cool, but they pale in comparison to&nbsp;these spontaneous&nbsp;real life look-a-like&nbsp;run-ins. Are they incredibly cool examples of random coincidence or are&nbsp;they proof of glitches <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/matrix-fan-theories/nathan-gibson?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">in the matrix</a>? That's up to you to decide, but it's kind of cool knowing that we could all bump into our doppelganger some day too.

Sylvester Stallone Looks Like This Man In A Painting By Raphael

Leonardo DiCaprio. Eminem. Ellen DeGeneres. Other than being rich and famous, what do they all have in common? They all have historical doppelg&auml;ngers! That&#39;s right. All of these famous people, celebs, Hollywood stars, whatever you like to call them, look just like people in old photos. From George Washington&nbsp;to your average random 19th-century gentleman, these celebrities all have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-look-like-civil-war-soldiers/gordon-cameron" target="_blank">doppelg&auml;ngers in historical photos</a>, if you look closely.&nbsp;

Some of history&rsquo;s twins were famous in their own lives, while others languished in obscurity. There&rsquo;s photographic evidence of some, and only a painting or sculpture of others (hey, those were based on real people too, right?). Some of these famous doppelg&auml;ngers in old photos have a few features similar to those of the world&#39;s biggest celebrities (Bruce Willis and General Douglas MacCarthur have the same eyes, for example), but others are total ringers for today&rsquo;s stars (are Keanu Reeves&nbsp;and Peter Dinklage vampires or time travelers?). Maybe these stars could play their past selves in a <a href="/list/best-period-tv-shows/ranker-tv" target="_blank">period piece</a>.&nbsp;

Is it possible that movie characters are actually real people and not just actors? Has Hollywood been pulling the wool over our eyes for over a hundred years?&nbsp;Has&nbsp;the Internet exposed the awesome&nbsp;truth?! Nobody knows. No one can ever know.&nbsp;But these photos of real people who look like movie characters, these&nbsp;movie doppelgangers, make&nbsp;a pretty strong argument that movie characters aren't fiction. They're real. They walk among us.&nbsp;They are us. We are them.

Animals

Have you ever been walking down the street, only to find yourself fighting to restrain your laughter when you spy a lady who looks just like the pug she's walking? Or perhaps people are always telling you that you and your cat bear a striking resemblance to one another, though you've never been able to see it? As you'll see in the following pictures of pets and their owners, there actually is truth to the age old rumor that people tend to look like their furry little adopted friends.As it turns out, a psychologist from Kwansei Gakuin University in Japan named Sadahiko Nakajima not only proved that people who look like their dogs and cats are not uncommon, they are actually the norm. Throughout the course of his&nbsp;<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/09/18/people-look-like-their-dogs-study_n_5838278.html" target="_blank">research</a>, Nakajima even discovered that total strangers were able to match pictures of dogs and their owners against photos of other random dogs with which they were presented. So what is it that makes people who look like their pets so common? Researchers suspect that it’s the recognition of familiar features that subconsciously attracts people to pets who bear a resemblance to themselves. Regardless, enjoy the fruits of this random psychological phenomenon via these hysterical photos of people who look just like their pets - and pets that look like their owners!

They say that somewhere out there in the great wide world, everybody has a doppelg&auml;nger. A &quot;doppelg&auml;nger&quot; is basically a lookalike. It translates literally from German to mean &quot;double shadow.&quot; Some people may never find their doppelg&auml;nger, but these people have won the long-lost-twin jackpot: their lookalikes just so happen to be <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-have-killed-people/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">famous celebrities</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you've ever been mistaken for someone else by a stranger, you know how weird it feels when a totally random person tells you, &quot;Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else.&quot; But the people who look like celebrities on this list are mistaken for their famous counterparts all the time. These uncanny celebrity doppelg&auml;ngers submitted side-by-side photographs of themselves to a Reddit thread, and let the Internet decide if they truly looked like their alleged <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrity-twins/twins?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">celebrity twin</a> or not. We definitely think they do - some of these lookalikes are eerily similar to a few ultra-famous actors, musicians, comedians, and even cartoons.&nbsp;Vote up the best celebrity lookalike below, and be sure to let us know what you think in the comment section. &nbsp;

Strange True Stories

A doppelganger is someone who looks almost identical&nbsp;to someone else even though they are not related to that person. It&#39;s eerie to come across someone with&nbsp;practically the same features and characteristics as yourself or another person you know, and doppelgangers are often seen as spooky. True doppelganger stories can be truly horrifying and often include interesting details about how people tried to interact with their&nbsp;lookalikes.

With over 7.5 billion humans in the world, it shouldn&rsquo;t come as a surprise that there are plenty of people who look uncannily similar to each other. Just take the&nbsp;story behind the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/story-behind-three-identical-strangers/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">Three Identical Strangers</a>&nbsp;documentary as an example - albeit a particularly strange one. Meeting a doppelganger can be a surreal experience - especially&nbsp;if they suddenly disappear without a trace.

Which came first, the celebrity or their cartoon doppelganger? And why are there so many celebrities who look like cartoon characters? Nobody really knows the answers to these extremely important questions, which is why you should stop worrying about it and simply enjoy this gallery of celebs who look like cartoons. The good news is these famous people who look just like animated characters could easily cross over into the animated world and start doing remakes of classic animated movies, and vice versa. You're welcome, Hollywood.

According to ancient folklore, a doppelg&auml;nger is a look-alike or double of a living person. Some people believe it's a paranormal phenomenon, and it is often seen as a sign of bad luck or potentially an evil twin. No matter what you personally believe, there are babies&nbsp;who look like celebrities. Babies who look like famous people so much, that they might be living proof of the existence of aliens or reincarnation. Sure. That claim can be made haphazardly. Why not?&nbsp;So, why are there so&nbsp;many babies who look like famous celebrities? And why are there also several instances of girl babies who look like big boy celebs?&nbsp;Nobody knows.&nbsp;

List of real people who got plastic surgery to look like a celebrity. Some are funnier looking than <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/coffee-jokes/jack-napier" target="_blank">coffee one liners</a>, while some actually look good. These &quot;normal&quot; people all had various justifications to explain why they were getting plastic surgery to look like a specific star. Sort of like the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-batman-actors/ranker-entertainment" target="_blank">Batman actors in order</a>, their faces changed frequently.&nbsp;After all, who doesn&#39;t want to look like Jennifer Lopez , like one of the Crazy Rich <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-asian-american-actors/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">Asian male actors</a>? or that one pop star who sings that <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-songs-about-magic/reference" target="_blank">song about witches</a>? Skip the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-frozen-dinner-brands/werner-brandes" target="_blank">best frozen family dinners</a> and hit the gym like the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-real-madrid-goalkeepers-ever/ranker-soccer" target="_blank">Real Madrid soccer players</a>, instead of going under the knife. Well, nobody wants it more than these people, who dropped thousands upon thousands of dollars (or euros, as this seems to be an international trend) on plastic surgery in an attempt to look like a celeb. Crazed fans and celebrity-worshippers aren&#39;t news... but spending ungodly amounts of money to look like a celebrity is certainly newsworthy. Sometimes, the stars themselves turn into&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-people-with-schizophrenia/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">celebrities with&nbsp;schizoaffective disorder</a>.&nbsp;Unfortunately,&nbsp;some look like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/favorite-character-on-the-walking-dead" target="_blank">Walking Dead main characters</a> (and I&#39;m not talking about the humans) or something out of a <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/lake-tahoe-legend/erin-wisti" target="_blank">Jacques Cousteau Lake Tahoe</a> experience.&nbsp;Plastic surgeons really do have one of the most <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-jobs-in-the-world" target="_blank">interesting jobs</a>.&nbsp;

Check out the people on this list &nbsp;who creeped out Angelina Jolie and freaked out Jessica Alba by getting plastic surgery in order to look like A-list celebrities who&#39;d rather have nothing to do with them. Then go get yourself a $50,000 loan and turn yourself into George Clooney. It&#39;ll be totally worth it.

Ever had that awkward experience where you were sitting around eating dinner and then suddenly, mid-meal, you noticed that a piece of your food looked a little... familiar? While food that looks like people has&nbsp;occasionally captured the attention of the masses ever since Jesus first appeared in someone's morning toast, the foods that you'll find here go a bit of a more whimsical route. You see, although the foods you'll find below may remind you of familiar characters, they tend to be ones you're&nbsp;more likely to have seen on a movie screen than met in person. These are foods that weirdly look like your favorite fictional characters.

Out of all the different forms of life that inhabit the Earth, plants are probably the most diverse of them all. The fact that they are spread out across the entire planet&nbsp;and can be found in almost every environment you can imagine is proof&nbsp;that they have had to evolve in unique ways in <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/world-and-_39_s-most-violent-plants/robert-wabash?var=9&amp;utm_expid=16418821-321.JB5yr2hCTp2WeaBHXzLclg.2&amp;utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ranker.com%2Fapp%2Fsearch.htm%3Fq%3Dweird%2Bplants" target="_blank">order to survive</a>. This, of course, has led to some rather interesting quirks in their characteristics – most obviously&nbsp;in the way that they look. There are all types of plants that have <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/colorful-rare-succulents/eric-vega?var=9&amp;utm_expid=16418821-321.JB5yr2hCTp2WeaBHXzLclg.2&amp;utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ranker.com%2Fapp%2Fsearch.htm%3Fq%3Dlooking%2Bplants" target="_blank">strange and wonderful appearances</a>. In some cases, there are even&nbsp;examples of plants that look just like animals.These animal-like plants have sometimes adapted to look like a particular creature in order to fool prey or scare away predators. Other instances are simply coincidences, where a flower has evolved to look like an animal purely by chance. Whatever the case may be, these photos of plants that look like animals are sure to amaze anyone who sets eyes on them.

They say the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, and the adage&nbsp;certainly holds true regarding these parents and kids who look identical. Often, a baby is born&nbsp;resembling both its mother and father, but sometimes, if you look at side-by-side photos of parents and kids at the same age, it's almost as if&nbsp;you're seeing&nbsp;a <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/people-with-two-sets-of-twins/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">set of twins</a>.This phenomena has been known to occur&nbsp;in <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-and-their-famous-parents-at-the-same-age/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">celebrity families</a>, but this genetic anomaly affects regular offspring as well.&nbsp;Read on to see for yourself, and then wonder&nbsp;if any time travel was involved in the creation of&nbsp;these photos of parents and children at the same age.

Yet another Doppelganger&nbsp;phenomenon is spreading across the Internet&nbsp;and this time the target is teachers who look like famous people.

Celebrity Facts

Everyone knows celebrities can be cuckoo bananas, but did you know that they also have access to biological technology unavailable to the rest of us plebs? The latest in celeb fads: cloning. Here is <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-influential-contemporary-americans?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">a list of famous people</a> who have literally cloned themselves by copying their own DNA and creating new people. Don't believe it? The proof is in the pudding, sirs. Just take a look at these snaps of celeb &quot;children&quot; compared to their famous &quot;parents.&quot; Is that a pre-teen Reese Witherspoon sulking in the schoolyard? Nope, it is her clone, a brand new second person that everyone has agreed to call &quot;Ava Elizabeth Phillippe.&quot; Were you watching Fargo and trying to place the young policeman, but feeling a little nutso because who is that guy? Don't worry - it is just the clone of Oscar-winner Tom Hanks. This new fella's name is Colin, and he is an actor, too, wouldn't you know it.Why is cloning so popular in Hollywood / the entertainment industry? Well, stars are just like us. They want their kids to succeed - and they are already famous, so why not make sure the apple falls pretty close to the tree? Also, it's a safer bet to swirl some DNA around in a dish, Gattaca-style (ahem Uma Thurman) than to roll the dice and risk mixing genes with a second parent. With a star's own identical genetic information, hot looks, sparkling personalities, je nais se quoi, and Tinsel Town connections, each of these cloned precious angels is sure to be a smash hit - even if it is not exactly one-of-a-kind.Clones.&nbsp;What do you think about the celebrity trend of playing God creating mini-mes and genetically identical lookalikes?

Helen Hunt & Leelee Sobieski

If you&#39;ve ever done a double take looking at Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard, or Javier Barden and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, then we have just the list for you. For your very own viewing pleasure, we&#39;ve assembled a scientific list of bonafide celebrity lookalikes that are sure to blow you away.&nbsp;

Celebrities often wouldn&#39;t achieve fame without the help of their one-of-a-kind looks, so it&#39;s always a surprise to find two of them who look the same. And we&#39;re not just talking about celebrity lookalikes who are related: There are also lots of totally random celebrity doppelgangers. Just witness the uncanny resemblance between Whiplash star Miles Teller and &#39;80s-era John Cusack, and you&#39;ll be so shocked that you won&#39;t be able to say anything. (See what we did there?)

You&#39;ve probably already heard of certain famous people who look alike, but we&#39;ve compiled a list full of the usual suspects as well as some nice surprises. Some of these celeb lookalikes are already so well known that there are whole movies that hinged upon their shared features. (See: The Roommate, which featured Leighton Meester&#39;s psychopathic character literally trying to steal lookalike Minka Kelly&#39;s life.) According to lore, Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain will occasionally go along with it when fans mistake her for Jurassic World&#39;s Howard.&nbsp;

A collection of <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en" target="_blank">Magic Cards</a> that look eerily too similar to famous people. Sure, your partner&nbsp;probably hates it when you play <a href="https://www.ranker.com/review/magic-the-gathering/8662564" target="_blank">Magic: The Gathering</a> with your old college roommate, but have they&nbsp;seen these cards? From Brad Pitt to Gary Busey, these Magic Cards have an uncanny resemblance to certain celebrities (and pseudo-celebrities) that you just can&#39;t not see. There&#39;s a chance that the artists at Wizards of the Coast get together and do this intentionally, but it&#39;s more likely that these are just funny coincidences.

Let&#39;s relish in the fantasy world where Gary Busey is an Undead Alchemist and Nic Cage is a Skinshifter. Vote up the Magic Cards you think most resemble&nbsp;these well-known celebs.
