I read an interview with Morgan Freeman once where he said that people constantly mistake him for Samuel L Jackson.
Urgh! You’re kidding, right? Everybody knows that Streisand looks just like David Brenner.
Another standard in this genre is Dom DeLuise and Chef Paul Prudhomme, right down to the hat. I’d like to see the two of THEM in a room together sometime.
Don Knotts and Mick Jagger.
Norm from Cheers and John Goodman.
Mickey Rourke and Bruce Willis.
I remember seeing a Streisand movie called “Nuts” some years ago, and the first time I saw Jennifer Aniston on Friends I wondered if she had played Streisand as a child in that movie.
Well, I always thought Sean Connery and the late King Hussein of Jordan looked a lot alike.
And Prince Rainier of Monaco.
Judd Nelson/Al Pacino
Catch Ian MacKellen made up as the wizard in the LOTR movies. The way his white hair frames his face, you could easily substitute Patrick Stewart[from Star Trek:TNG and X-Men fame]
Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen . The resemblance between these two is uncanny.
And talking about being taken for a deadringer, I always get mixed up between Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek .
They also sound and behave the same to make things more confusing. Damn them!
What about Elisha Cuthbert, Deborah Harry , and Kim Cattrall? Identical triplets if you ask me.

When Wall St Journal Daniel Pearl’s story was all over the news, actor Tim Allen was getting calls about it. They look exactly like each other.
Jack Nicholson and Bruce Willis both were raised in New Jersey, and could be related.
Why do Lisa Ling, Lucy Liu and Zhang Ziyi all look like identical triplets?
And what about Chris Tucker and Chris Rock? Separated at birth?

And let’s not forget Deborah Norville and her body double, Paula Zahn.
And lastly, what’s the chance of two guys looking exactly alike, having the same surname and working in the same profession? Ask Bryant Gumbel and Greg Gumbel. Simply inexplicable.
Can’t believe no one mentioned these two - not only do they look alike, but they’re both stunningly beautiful.
Darryl Hammond and Bill Clinton
Neil Young, Stephen King, Garrison Keillor & Dan Ackroyd
Christina Aquilera & Krystal Steele
Jewel & Monica Miller
The Premier of New South Wales, Bob Carr looks a lot like Abraham Lincoln.
I’ve always thought Harrison Ford and Dennis Quaid should play brothers.
These two are the closest. I think Hellen once said that she saw Leelee on a magazine cover and thought it was a picture of herself.
Jimmy Stewart and Mister Rogers resemble each other. Really.
Keira Knightly and Natalie Portman. Knightly was Princess Armadalas “double” in Phantom Menance and onset, once in make-up, their respective mom’s couldn’t tell the two apart.
Jim Broadbent and Hugh Bonneville played the parts of John Bayley/Young John Bayley in the movie Iris the resemblance was so uncanny I had to look it up and see a) if they were in fact related and b) if prosthetics were used.
Before or after Rourke’s plastic surgery?
Samuel L. Jackson once began a “Saturday Night Live” monologue by saying, “First of all, I am not Laurence Fishburne and I am not Morgan Freeman!”
