9 Jaw-Dropping Celebrity Doppelgängers
Thanks to the Internet and the legions of amateur sleuths it's birthed, celebrity lookalikes pop up pretty regularly. That said, it that doesn't make it any less freaky when an eerily similar-looking photo pops up now and again. From supermodel BFFs Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid to A-list actors like Emma Watson and Ryan Gosling, celeb doppelgänger are definitely more common than one would think.
What's more, it's wild to think that there are likely even more people out there who bear strong resemblance to celebs that we don't even know about — yet. Until then, take a gander at some of the celebrity doppelgängers we do know of, and be prepared to readjust the glasses you may not even have.

Ed Sheeran doesn't have just one doppelgänger, but 2 year-old Isla Walton is probably one of the cutest, and most astonishing. After the tiny tot's picture popped up on the Internet back in March — proceeding to go viral — Ed was asked what he thought of the uncanny resemble during an appearance on Good Morning Britain. "She's not mine!" was the "Shape of You" singer's immediately response after host Richard Arnold held up a picture of his little look-alike. It's seriously uncanny.

Instagrammer April Gloria made headlines earlier this year for her incredible resemblance to Taylor. And she doesn't just look almost exactly like the pop star — April also has taken it upon herself to recreate the lot of Tay's best beauty moments. With over 100K followers on the 'gram, you can't deny how much these two look alike.

Selena Gomez actually has a verifiable army of doppelgangers — to the point where there's an entire Instagram dedicated to collecting photos of them. That said, one of her most uncanny lookalikes is a 22-year-old woman from Mexico named Sofia Solares. What makes it even better is that Sofia is also a huge Selena fan.

Johannes Laschet of Aachen, Germany is a popular menswear blogger, law student and the son of a prominent German politician — and he could easily pass for Ryan Gosling's twin brother. Named a 2017 GQ Gentleman, European Ry Gos has amassed thousands of followers on his blog, Dapper Style, as well as on his Instagram.

Kari Lewis of Indiana didn't have a clue who Hermione Granger was when someone first pointed out her resemblance to the character. Kari told BuzzFeed that "I didn't know who Emma Watson was when I was first spotted at a postal office and a couple of young girls told me I looked like 'Hermione Granger.' This was only when the first HP film was released though, so we'll give her a break. Since then, Kari has immersed herself in the world of Harry Potter and has even taken it upon herself to dress up in Hermione's school robes — not to mention Belle from Emma's new movie, Beauty and the Beast.

Back in March of this year, Yara Shahidi found her own doppelgänger via Twitter. The Black-ish star quoted the tweet of user @zoejeannette_ where she had posted four photos of herself, writing "If that's not me then who is it!" Fans agreed, flooding the actresses mentions, and even pointed out that her lookalike's name is Zoe, the same as her character on Black-ish. The resemblance — especially in their smiles — is certainly uncanny.
Instagram7/10Kendall Jenner
Our jaws dropped when we discovered the striking resemblance between Kendall Jenner and Russian model Kate Bogucharskaia last year. With the same sultry stare and enviable brows, the model is pretty much a dead ringer for Ken. The proof is in the grams.

Meet Zayn Malik's "twin", Shyan Ranje. With the same shorn blonde hair, dark eyebrows and overall similar vibe, the self-described editor and stylist at DaMan and Vulkan magazines sure bares a strong resemblance to Gigi's main squeeze. It'll make you do a double-take.
Instagram9/10Gigi Hadid
Turns out, there might just be another Gigi Hadid out there. While we're sure Zayn Malik is partial to his girlfriend, Danish model Amalie Schou sure looks like she could be G's twin. With the same beachy blonde locks and similar bone structure, the resemblance is clear.
