    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 only things these two have in common are a love for children’s shows and movies AND an undeniable resemblance.
