John Krasinski and Carl Adolf Feilberg
Krasinski’s Net Worth: $30 Million Krasinski’s Occupation: Actor and Director Feilberg’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Feilberg’s Occupation: Businessman
A painting of Danish businessman Carl Adolph Feilberg has some people convinced that actor John Krasinski travels back to the 1800s in his free time just to run a soap and wax candle factory. It’s the only explanation for how similar Krasinski looks to his 19th-century doppelgänger. The two couldn’t be more opposite though.
While Krasinski got his start on television starring in one of the most-watched shows of all time, he has since gone on to appear in films and work behind the cameras. Feilberg, on the other hand, didn’t seem to have a creative bone in his body though. His nephews, however, were known in the arts as journalists, authors, and photographers so there’s a possibility he’s a distant relative of Krasinski!
Liam Neeson and Fidel Castro
Neeson’s Net Worth: $145 Million Neeson’s Occupation: Actor Castro’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): $900 Million Castro’s Occupation: Prime Minister of Cuba
Of all of the people in the world to be associated with, no one wants to be associated with Fidel Castro. Unfortunately for actor Liam Neeson, his appearance has led to a connection to the former Cuban leader that he’ll never be able to shake. Unless Neeson has a special set of skills that include disguise, he will just have to accept Castro as his doppelgänger.
The two share a pair of deep-set eyes, a distinct forehead, and a crooked nose. When the Star Wars actor decides to grow out his scraggly beard, the two are nearly identical. If Neeson ever decides to take a trip over to Cuba, he better make sure he’s clean-shaven to ensure there’s no mistaking him for the communist!
Michael Jackson and Painting by Dutch Painter Barent Fabritius
Jackson’s Net Worth: $500 Million Jackson’s Occupation: Pop singer Fabritius’ Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Fabritius’ Occupation: Painter
While the King of Pop had quite a few looks over the years, this painting certainly resembles his appearance at the end of his life. Painted by Dutch artist Barent Fabritius, the self-portrait is thought to have been completed in 1650. Those who’ve seen the painting on display at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Germany started pointing out his likeness to the infamous Michael Jackson.
From their dark eyes, soft cheekbones, distinct chin dimples, and dark curls, Fabritius and Jackson are nearly identical. They even share a unique fashion sense and are both depicted wearing a red shirt and tophat, furthering their likeness. Only time travel could possibly explain why they’d both wear a hat like that!
Robin Williams and Nobel Prize Winner Ilya Ilich Mechnikov
Williams’ Net Worth: $50 Million Williams’ Occupation: Actor Mechnikov’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Mechnikov’s Occupation: Zoologist
These doppelgängers will have you believing in both reincarnation and time travel! The late comedic actor Robin Williams was loved by millions was so similar to Russian zoologist Ilya Ilich Mechnikov. Also known as Elie Metchnikoff, Williams’ doppelgänger went on to win a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1908 for his discoveries surrounding immunity.
The two share numerous similarities, including a scraggly beard, small eyes, large foreheads, and even expression lines. Like Mechnikov, Williams also shared a special connection with animals. He was able to communicate with them both on-screen in movies like Jumanji and in real life. Willams was known for his friendship with Koko the gorilla who mourned the actor’s death in 2014.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Some Grandma’s Classmate, Judy Zipper
DiCaprio’s Net Worth: $260 Million DiCaprio’s Occupation: Actor/Producer Zipper’s Net Worth (Adjusted for Inflation): Unknown Zipper’s Occupation: Unknown
We’ve all had nightmares about an old yearbook photo resurfacing and unfortunately for Judy Zipper, her worst fear was brought to life. While looking through an old yearbook, an unknown male posted this picture of his grandma’s classmate, noting the similarities between her and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Unfortunately for Zipper, the photo has since gone viral.
In Zipper’s defense, that hairstyle was quite popular back in the day. While little is known about Zipper, her doppelgänger is probably one of the biggest celebrities on the planet. The award-winning actor has been in some truly remarkable films such as Titanic, Wolf of Wall Street, Inception, and The Departed.
