Two of Hollywood’s most confused faces just got their own alien-abduction punchline.

TheThings Celebrity’s compilation “Celebrity Doppelgängers Who Look Freakishly Alike” runs through the pairs of stars whose faces get swapped by fans, tabloids, and red-carpet photographers on a regular basis. The video isn’t about twins separated at birth — it’s about genetics doing something weird enough that two unrelated people end up with nearly identical bone structure, eye color, and screen presence. Some of these pairs have leaned into the confusion themselves, which is where the video gets its best material.

• Katy Perry cast her own lookalike, Zooey Deschanel, in her December 2020 music video “Not the End of the World,” where aliens abduct Deschanel by mistake because they think she’s Perry.
• Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green share matching jawlines, facial hair, and brooding action-thriller roles, leading to persistent misidentification online and in entertainment coverage.
• The feature also runs through Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly, Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly, and Lily Collins alongside Jennifer Connelly as further examples of the genre.

Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel Made the Joke Official

Long before the video compiled it, the Katy Perry-Zooey Deschanel comparison had already become one of the internet’s go-to examples of celebrity twinning: the same dark hair, the same wide-set blue doe eyes, the same facial framing that photographers routinely mix up at premieres and award shows. Perry finally addressed it head-on rather than just laughing it off in interviews.

In her “Not the End of the World” video, released in December 2020, Deschanel plays a character abducted by aliens who assume she is Perry — a direct, scripted nod to a comparison fans had been making for over a decade. It’s the rare case in this genre where the doppelganger joke moved from Twitter replies straight into an actual production.

Tom Hardy and Logan Marshall-Green’s Matching Scowl

The Hardy-Marshall-Green pairing gets equal billing in the video, and for good reason. Hardy, known for “Venom” and “The Dark Knight Rises,” and Marshall-Green, known for “Upgrade” and “The Invitation,” share more than a passing resemblance in bone structure and jawline — both actors have built careers on the same gritty, brooding archetype in action-thriller territory.

That overlap in casting type is part of why the confusion persists on social media well beyond a single viral post. It’s not just that they look alike in a still photo; it’s that they show up in the same kind of role, wearing the same kind of scowl, often in the same genre of film.

Aliens abduct Zooey Deschanel in Katy Perry’s own music video — because even Perry’s team couldn’t resist the joke.

The Rest of the Lineup

Beyond the two headline pairings, the video works through a handful of other matches that have circulated in entertainment coverage for years. Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly get grouped for their near-identical blonde hair and facial features. Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly, two actresses who came up around the same “Gossip Girl”-era television landscape, make the list for the same reason. Lily Collins and Jennifer Connelly round out the set as another pair whose resemblance regularly trips up casual viewers scrolling through photo galleries.

None of these are family connections — they’re coincidences of genetics that happen to overlap with careers in the same industry, which is exactly what keeps this kind of lookalike content in constant rotation online.

The joke landed well enough that Perry didn’t just talk about the comparison — she built a music video around it, which is more commitment to a doppelganger bit than most celebrities ever bother with.
