Don’t believe us? We found more than 50 celebrities who have true Hollywood lookalikes. It’s not just in the hair and makeup — some of these people are such doppelgängers, we might not be able to tell them apart if we saw them on the street.

One pair of celebrity lookalikes even posted a photo of themselves to Instagram with the caption, “Who’s who” — and the cute dancing twins emoji!

Another famous leading lady even used her doppelgänger on her holiday card to fool her family — a prank we can get behind, and also totally understandable, considering how much they resemble each other.
