It’s said that we all have at least one doppelgänger somewhere in the world. Although the chances of us running into our own lookalikes are highly improbable, for these celebrities, their fame has unveiled a ton of interesting twins.
What started off as a post on X by @GabTheGem , quickly turned into a viral sensation of some of the most outlandish but completely on the mark comparisons of our favorite celebrities, so The Root has gathered many of most mind-boggling ones so you can see for yourself.
The German word “doppelgänger” literally means “ghostly double,” so let’s take a look at some of the shockingly uncanny but frighteningly accurate celebrity lookalikes that —to our knowledge— aren’t even related.
