11 Of The Most Insane Celeb Lookalikes
With plastic surgery and make-up being so easily accessible to ordinary folk in this day and age, the old adage “be content with the face and body you were born with” simply doesn't hold water any longer. This is yet another doing of the media and Hollywood, which advocates physical appearances over any other qualities a person may have and leads to people's obsession with their looks and weight.
Many regular people look up to celebrities when it comes to beauty and perfection. We strive to look as beautiful as them to the point of wanting to actually look like them. Some are naturally born looking like a particular celebrity, by pure coincidence. Others resort to surgery and crazy cosmetics to achieve the look they so desire. After all, looking like our favorite celebrities is cause for some publicity and we get to enjoy our 15 minutes of fame. Here are some common folk who crazily enough, could pass for their celebrity idols' twin.
11 Wendy Thompson/ Britney Spears
Like many celebrities who started their career at a young age, Britney Spears reached her breaking point from all the media pressure surrounding her personal life and went through a very public breakdown. Luckily, she was eventually able to get herself together and clean up her act and continues to be one of today's best selling pop artists. Her catchy songs, dance prowess, and sparkly costumes make Spears a popular subject of impersonation. Wendy Thompson looks eerily like Spears and exploits this fact to the hilt.
10 Katy Perry
Ever since she shot to fame, Katy Perry has become a household name. She's known for her hit songs like Teenage Dream, California Girls, Firework, and Roar, just as much as she's famous for her risqué fashion choices and her personal life. Lately, she was in the news for a so-called feud with Taylor Swift and more recently, for her budding romance with Orlando Bloom. One of her most famous impersonators is Francesca Brown, who does indeed look like Perry's spitting image.
9 Angelina Jolie
Being considered one of the most beautiful women in the world inevitably means there will be a line of people coming forward to claim they look exactly like you. Angelina Jolie is one of many celebs who have had several lookalikes featured in the media. Some are so on point that you tend to wonder if it's the same person. Take for instance Chelsea Marr. She shares the same high cheekbones and full lips that the famous actress has, making her an Internet star in her own way.
8 Adele
Adele is currently making the rounds from city to city, singing her heart out in sold-out concerts to adoring fans while she promotes her wildly successful album. She has been a fixture in the music scene since she became famous for her hit songs, Chasing Pavements, Rolling In The Deep, and Someone Like You. Her uniquely soulful voice is definitely what reeled people in, especially with her current hits like Hello and When We Were Young. In her concert in Birmingham, England, Adele pulled up onto the stage a lookalike fan Emily Bamforth, who snapped a selfie with the singer onstage.
7 Kamilla Osman/ Kim Kardashian
She's one of the most famous women in the world, but many still dub her as that “famous for nothing” woman. To be fair, Kim Kardashian has used her insane popularity to build a business empire and provide employment to a handful of people. Yet she still has a lot of haters for being so rich and popular for simply having a sex tape leaked onto the Internet. It's no surprise that many have stepped forward to proudly claim that they look like her.
6 Scarlett Johansson
Nope, she's not just known as Ryan Reynolds' ex-wife. In fact, Scarlett Johansson has been around Hollywood far longer than her famous former husband, having started out as a child actress. Today, Johansson is considered one of the sexiest, hottest women in the planet with her voluptuous figure and pouty lips. She's also a happily married wife and mother to a little girl. Many women would kill to look like her and this lady surely is flattered that she quite strikingly does.
5 Emma Watson
Even when she first appeared as that awkward adolescent in the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, it was quite obvious that Emma Watson would someday grow up to be quite the beauty. Sure enough, Watson is today one of Hollywood's most beautiful and she has broken out of the Hermione mold rather successfully. She is also an advocate of feminism and equality, which makes her even more amazing in our eyes.
4 Mara Tiegen/ Angelina Jolie
Yes, Angelina again. She's indeed one of the most photographed women in the world, whether it's on the red carpet or in photos sneakily taken by the paparazzi. Since her face is perennially plastered all over the Internet, broadsheets, magazines, and tabloids, people can't help but admire and emulate Angelina Jolie. Males and females alike have come forward looking like her twin. Commercial model Mara Teigen is being touted as the ultimate Angie lookalike, mainly for those insanely big lips.
3 Ashley Benson
For those not familiar with who Ashley Benson is, she's actually got a lot of talents. She may be most known as Hanna Marin in the mystery-thriller television show Pretty Little Liars, but she is also a dancer and a model. The blonde and blue-eyed beauty may have a strikingly distinctive look, but it's not that unique anymore. When Teen Beach Movie star Grace Phipps changed her hair color from brown to blonde, her and Ashley's followers on Instagram immediately noticed the resemblance between the two beauties, stating they looked like twins.
2 Kelsey Calemine/Kylie Jenner/Lucy Hale
With 440+ followers on her Instagram account it is no wonder why the world is so into this young beauty. Internet star Kelsey Calemine has recently gained a lot of attention for being a perfect mix of Kylie Jenner and Lucy Hail. She looks so much like the girls that Hale even pointed it out herself stating that the resemblance is uncanny.
1 Drake
The term Fake Drake has a nice ring to it eh? The Canadian-born singer has been making waves lately, from his solo hit song Hotline Bling to his collaboration with Rihanna for her immensely popular song Work. His distinct looks also make him fodder for imitation. Nissim, a photographer from Israel, takes great pride in being called Fake Drake because of his uncanny resemblance to the singer. He posts photos of himself in the same camera angles that Drake has and he has gained a following on his Instagram account, thanks to looking like Drake.
