Somewhere out there, Natalie Portman’s own mother once had trouble picking her daughter out of a lineup.

TheThings Celebrity’s rundown of famous look-alikes leans into exactly that kind of confusion — the kind where two people with no shared bloodline end up with the same jaw, the same eyes, or the same haircut. The video pulls together pairs from film, pop music, and modeling to make the case that some resemblances are too uncanny to be coincidence.

• Keira Knightley played Natalie Portman’s decoy, Sabé, in 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, a role that worked because their brown eyes and facial structure were nearly indistinguishable in costume.
• Tom Hardy and actor Logan Marshall-Green share such similar jawlines and facial hair that Marshall-Green was later cast to play Hardy’s doppelganger in the film Upgrade.
• Will Ferrell and Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith got mixed up so often that the two settled it on late-night television with a widely publicized drum-off.

The Decoy Who Fooled Everyone

The Knightley-Portman comparison sits at the top of the list for a reason. Their resemblance wasn’t just a fan theory or a tabloid stretch — it was the actual premise behind a casting decision in a major studio film. Knightley was brought on specifically because she could pass for Portman’s Queen Amidala in disguise, and the two actresses have said the mix-up extended well beyond the set, with even close family members needing a second look to tell them apart.

Both women went on to build separate, distinct careers — Portman with an Oscar for Black Swan, Knightley with a run of period dramas and blockbusters — but the doppelganger story from The Phantom Menace has followed them for nearly two decades. It’s the kind of pairing that made this list an easy call for TheThings.

Two Actors, One Face

Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green make for one of the stranger comparisons on the video’s rundown, mostly because Marshall-Green isn’t a household name the way Hardy is — yet side by side, the two are almost impossible to tell apart. Same heavy brow, same square jaw, same close-cropped facial hair in most of their public appearances.

The resemblance became a plot point in its own right when Marshall-Green was cast to play a version of Hardy’s likeness in Upgrade, leaning directly into a comparison audiences had already been making for years. For anyone who’s spent time on the celebrity doppelgängers corner of the internet, this pairing usually tops the list.

Pop’s Matching Blonde Phase

The video’s cross-gender entry is Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus, specifically during the stretch when both were sporting matching short, bleach-blonde hairstyles. Beyond the hair, TheThings points to their similar face shape and smile as the reason so many side-by-side photos of the two circulated at once.

It’s a pairing that says as much about pop culture’s obsession with reinvention as it does about genetics — two of music’s biggest names cycling through nearly identical looks at the same moment, long before either one was compared to the other for anything else. It fits neatly alongside other stories of musicians that are nothing like they seem once you look past the surface.

The Comedian and the Drummer

No pairing on the list has generated more real-world mix-ups than Will Ferrell and Chad Smith. The Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer and the comedic actor share a build, a head of thick dark hair, and enough facial overlap that fans and even colleagues have confused photos of one for the other for years.

The confusion got so persistent between Will Ferrell and Chad Smith that the only way to settle it was a televised drum-off.

That drum-off became the pairing’s signature moment — two men who’d spent years being mistaken for each other finally sharing a stage on late-night TV to hash it out with drumsticks instead of words.

TheThings’ rundown closes out the same way it opens — treating each pairing as proof that some resemblances are too close to be chalked up to coincidence, whether it’s a Star Wars decoy, a horror-movie casting choice, or a drum-off that finally put a years-long mix-up to rest.
