16 mirror-image male celebrities who could be twins: from lookalikes Ed Sheeran and Harry Potter star Rupert Grint, to Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg, and Taken actor Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes
- Will Ferrell had a drum-off on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with Red Hot Chili Peppers’ stick man, Chad Smith, while Jeff Bridges signs pictures of Kurt Russell
- The Avengers’ Jeremy Renner, Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe, Star Wars’ Ewan McGregor and the late Heath Ledger all have famous lookalikes too
Jesse Eisenberg and Michael Cera get mistaken for each other all the time. And they aren’t the only A-listers that fans are convinced share such a resemblance that they must have been separated at birth. We took a look at some of the most striking male celebrity doppelgängers in Hollywood.
1. Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes
Neeson has said people often confuse the Harry Potter and Taken stars. What’s more, the two have starred in multiple films alongside each other (Schindler’s List, Wrath of the Titans). The main difference is that Fiennes usually plays the bad guy while Neeson’s often the hero.
“He is one of my best, best, dearest friends. I keep getting fans and stuff mixing me up with Ralph because we have very similar profiles,” Neeson said on The Jonathan Ross Show in 2014. “So I’ve been complimented on winning a Tony Award for my Hamlet, he’s been complimented on the Taken films.”
2. Will Ferrell and Chad Smith
The comedian and the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer know they look similar so, they took their rivalry to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2014 in a drum-off. The pair even dressed alike for the occasion.
3. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem
When Jeffrey Dean Morgan entered Seattle Grace Hospital on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy, we had to do a double take to make sure he wasn’t the Academy Award winner for No Country for Old Men (2008).
Morgan has been breaking hearts (and bodies) as Negan since series six of The Walking Dead.
