Double Takes

Iván Carreira and Jake Gyllenhaal

2011-04-17T17:00:00.000-07:00

My wife and I watched this movie called "La Edad de la Peseta" or "The Silly Age" where the young actor Iván Carreira has a similar look to a young Jake Gyllenhaal. The movie was good by the way.

What do you think of these 2 actors? Do they look alike to you?

Iván Carreira

Jake Gyllenhaal

I don't these pictures catch what we saw from the movie and unfortunately I couldn't find that many face closeups of the young actor. But it you watched the movie, you would be able to see more clearly that his eyes and eyebrows look similar to the older actor.

Elle Fanning and Chloe Moretz

2010-12-15T19:36:00.001-08:00

I watch movies all the time but never know the names of many of these actors. Good thing my wife can help me out with these two Elle Fanning and Chloe Moretz.

Apparently others have thought the same based on the photo below:

Mila Kunis and Emma Stone

2010-12-02T14:43:00.000-08:00

I saw Mila Kunis is Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Emma Stone in Easy A and thought they looked alike. I think they could play sisters in a movie together. What do you think?

Karl Urban and Wally Kurth double take

2010-10-22T13:37:00.000-07:00

We only see these look alikes and do a double take when we are watching movies. What do you think about these 2 actors Karl Urban + Wally Kurth

Liv Tyler and Jessica Pare

2010-09-25T16:06:00.000-07:00

I just watched a funny vampire comedy movie last night called Suck. At first I thought the actress in it was Live Tyler but it turned out to be Jessica Pare. They definitely looked alike in that movie.

Jessica Pare

Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel

2010-05-22T15:25:00.000-07:00

After watching another movie, my wife quickly assessed that these 2 guys could be brothers. After I searched for some pictures of both Timothy Olyphant and Josh Duhamel online, I would have to agree. What do you think?

Drea de Matteo and Portia de Rossi

2010-05-14T04:41:00.000-07:00

I just watched "New York I Love You" and realized that Drea de Matteo and Portia de Rossi look alike.

Robert Downey, Jr, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

2010-04-06T23:46:00.000-07:00

These two definitely look alike. When I watched the Watchmen, that's when I thought Jeffrey Dean Morgan really looked like Robert Downey, Jr.

What do you think?

Robert De Niro and Elias Koteas

2010-03-28T18:03:00.000-07:00

I just saw a movie Elias Koteas plays a bad guy. In this particular movie, at times he would look like Robert DeNiro.

What do you think? Is it the eyes, nose, or just certain expressions that make them look a like?

Kelly Clarkson and Miley Cyrus

2010-03-10T20:19:00.000-08:00

When we watched the Academy Awards, my wife and I thought Miley Cyrus came out looking a bit like Kelly Clarkson. I know they are years apart, but in some pictures they definitely look similar.

Kelly Clarkson

Joan Severance & Linda Evangelista

2010-03-01T00:05:00.000-08:00

I think these actress/models Joan Severance & Linda Evangelista look alike. What do you think?

Carey Mulligan and Michelle Williams

2010-02-27T18:31:00.000-08:00

I just saw Carey Mulligan in a movie called an Education. She reminds me of Michelle Williams in certain pictures.

Michelle Williams

Kate Walsh and Catherine Deneuve

2010-02-24T16:38:00.000-08:00

I think many people would agree these two actresses Kate Walsh and a young Catherine Deneuve definitely resemble each other. They look like they could be related.

Kate Walsh

Catherine Deneuve

Paz Vega and Penelope Cruz

2010-02-22T14:46:00.000-08:00

I think both these great actresses have similar attributes. Do you think Paz Vega and Penelope Cruz resemble each other?

Paz Vega

Penelope Cruz

Andy Garcia and Al Pacino

2010-02-20T14:06:00.000-08:00

I think during their younger years these two actors definitely looked alike. They even played similar roles.

Andy Garcia

Al Pacino

Tina Fey and her famous impression of Sarah Palin

2010-02-18T11:06:00.000-08:00

If you are a fan of Saturday Night Live, then you already know Tina Fey completely looks like Sarah Palin when she wants to.

Mark Strong and Andy Garcia

2010-02-04T10:02:00.000-08:00

I think these 2 actors look alike. I just watched Mark Strong in a movie called Young Victoria and my wife pointed out he looked like Andy Garcia. After looking at his pictures, I must agree with her.

Mark Strong

Andy Garcia

I think it might be similar eyes or expressions. What do you think?

Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri

2010-01-28T00:07:00.000-08:00

Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri definitely look a like because they are mother and daughter. I didn't know that when I first saw Eva Amurri on the show Californication. I think she looks identical to her mother when she was younger.

Susan Sarandon

Eva Amurri

Ethan Hawke and Peter Berg

2010-01-27T04:32:00.000-08:00

What do you think about these two actors? Do they look similar or just play similar parts?

Ethan Hawke

PeterBerg

Helen Hunt and Leelee Sobieski

2010-01-26T00:38:00.000-08:00

I have seen both in many movies. Every time I see Leelee Sobieski she reminds me of a young Helen Hunt. I think they have similar facial features that makes them look related.

Leelee Sobieski

Helen Hunt

Jennifer Garner and Hilary Swank

2010-01-25T01:56:00.000-08:00

When I use to watch Alias (only the first 2 seasons) when it was good, I used to think Jennifer Garner looked like another celebrity. I am not sure if they look alike or if they just played similar roles.

Jennifer Garner

Hilary Swank

There was actually a movie Dude, Where's my Car where Jennifer Garner has a movie sister who did look like she could be her sister. Maybe I will post that at a later time.

Mike Tomlin and Omar Epps

2010-01-24T01:41:00.000-08:00

T. T. Douglas gave a good suggestion and I must agree. These 2 gentlemen definitely look alike.

Mike Tomlin

Omar Epps

Mekhi Phifer and Omar Epps

2010-01-23T01:46:00.000-08:00

A new reader made this suggestion and I did think it, too. That is after I looked at their online pictures.

andrewdaviss said...
See, now I thought you were gonna say Mekhi Phifer, who grew up in similar films as Epps.
Epps does Juice. Phifer does Clockers.
And though Phifer did TV first, doing Homicide, they both wound up as doctors, Phifer on ER and Epps on House.

Mekhi Phifer

Omar Epps

I posted some pictures and must agree with Andrew.

Jemima Rooper and Hilary Swank

2010-01-22T01:32:00.000-08:00

Most people in the US will know Hilary Swank but the English actress Jemima Rooper is probably not as popular. I saw her in a movie called Lost in Austen which is quite good.

Hilary Swank

Jemima Rooper

What do you think? Are they look a likes?

Naomie Harris and Kimberly Elise

2010-01-21T00:40:00.001-08:00

I just saw Naomie Harris in a karate flick Ninja Assassin which was a fun movie. When I first saw her I thought she kind of looked like Gabrielle Union, but my wife said not really. She then told me she looked more like Kimberly Elise from that bad Oprah movie Beloved.

Naomie Harris

Kimberly Elise

What do you think?

Kevin Bacon and Chris Demetral

2010-01-01T17:45:00.000-08:00

Most people know Kevin Bacon but most people don't know Chris Demtral. My wife and I saw first saw him on HBO's Dream on from many years ago. We thought at the time Chris looked like a mini Kevin Bacon.

Kevin Bacon

mini Kevin Bacon (Dream on) Chris Demetral

OK, now after looking at these pictures, he obviously didn't grow up looking anything like Kevin Bacon. However, if you ever watch that old show, you will see a resemblance. Honestly. LOL

Ellen Pompeo and Michelle Monaghan

2009-12-17T10:22:00.000-08:00

It was funny that I saw a movie with Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan. Once I saw here she immediately reminded me of Ellen Pompeo. She could of easily played that character's role with being Meredeth Grey.

Ellen Pompeo

Michelle Monaghan

Am I wrong here, or can you see some resemblance?

Kate Winslet and Rachel Weisz

2009-12-14T12:09:00.000-08:00

I don't know how much they look alike or if they just play similar roles that make me think they could be related.

Kate Winslet

Rachel Weisz

Omar Epps and Wesley Snipes

2009-12-06T17:37:00.000-08:00

I just finished watching this vampire movie called Dracula 2000 and in this movie, at times I thought Omar Epps really looked like Wesley Snipes of Blade fame. Of course another vampire movie franchise.

Looking at the pictures I found on the internet they don't really look exactly alike. But they do have facial similarities.

Omar Epps

Wesley Snipes

I know that guy from the Cosby Show spinoff definitely looked like him with his glasses on. I can't remember the character or the actor's name. If you know who I am talking about, please help me out and put his name in the comments section then I will post some pictures.

Winona Ryder and Keira Knightley

2009-12-01T00:02:00.000-08:00

Every once in awhile at different angles these 2 actresses Winona Ryder and Keira Knightley look alike to me.

Winona Ryder

Keira Knightley

Claire Forlani and Vera Farmiga

2009-11-30T20:32:00.000-08:00

These two actresses look exactly alike to me. My wife pointed it out after I saw a commercial of George Clooney's movie and saw Vera Farmiga. She said Vera looks like that actress from the old Brad Pitt Movie "Meet Mr Black". I did a quick IMDB search and wow! they looked to me like they could be sisters.

Claire Forlani

Vera Farmiga

Do Julia Roberts & Kate Mara look alike?

2009-11-25T12:17:00.000-08:00

I think in certain scenes and pictures Kate Mara does look like Julia Roberts. You might have to squint to see what I see. LOL.

Julia Roberts

Kate Mara

Natalie Portman & Liane Balaban possible Double Takes

2009-11-03T17:17:00.000-08:00

We have seen Natalie Portman in a ton of movies. A few nights ago I saw her on a TV show called Top Chef. She looked good with her long hair.

Anyways, in another movie my wife and I watched we saw another actress Liane Balaban that kind of looked like her with long hair from certain angles. Maybe if you squint your eye you can see what I saw. What do you think?

Natalie Portman

Liane Balaban

Do Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton look a like?

2009-10-26T22:52:00.000-07:00

If you watch many foreign films, then I think you can see some similarities with these actresses. Hopefully, it is not just that they play similar roles. What do you think?

Cate Blanchett

Tilda Swinton

Do you think they are similar looking?

If you have any suggestions for future posts, let me know?

Hillary Clinton and Hope Davis

2009-10-25T17:49:00.000-07:00

We see many celebrities on TV and sometimes in certain roles you think, "Hey, she could play so and so." Well, my wife and I agree Hope Davis would be a good cast for Hillary Clinton if they made a movie about her.

Hillary Clinton

Hope Davis

Ok, while I was looking for pictures to use for this post, I stumbled on this site. Can you believe it? I guess we weren't the only ones who could picture it. LOL

Hope Davis to Play Hillary Clinton in HBO Movie

Julianne Moore has stepped out of the role of Hillary Clinton in new HBO Films/BBC Films movie The Special Relationship, due to a scheduling conflict, and will be replaced by Tony nominee and In Treatment star, Hope Davis, The Hollywood Reporter says.

Elizabeth Banks and Parker Posey

2009-10-22T21:58:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I watch movies and see familiar faces. It's funny that when I get to the credits it is not that person.

So what do you think of these two actresses. Any similarities?

Parker Posey

Elizabeth Banks

I think it is the eyes, smile and jawline that make them appear similar.

Did you ever notice Colin Farrell and Andre Agassi look alike?

2009-10-15T22:37:00.000-07:00

I have watched tennis for a long time. Also, since I like to watch movies, I immediately saw a resemblance. What do you think?

Colin Farrell

Andre Agassi

Does Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman look similar?

2009-10-12T12:36:00.001-07:00

Wow, this blog needs to be updated much more often. ;)

Ok, for the second post I think these two beautiful actresses sometimes look alike. I may update the photos I picked out, or add some more since these don't accentuate what I often see when I watch them in movies.

Double Takes- take one

2009-07-09T15:25:00.001-07:00

My wife and I watch a ton of movies. Literally average more than 10 a week. I always get confused with the actors and actresses because some of them look similar or play similar roles. Sometimes my wife agrees with my assessment, but most of the time she doesn't.

I posted on my main blog bachelor/ celebrity lookalikes and received quite a few hits. I am sure there are already other sites like this, but I just wanted to it because frankly, I like blogging about stuff I like to do.

Here is a copy of the first double takes that I posted at my CHESSNOID site.
