People Who Stumbled Upon Their Doppelgänger In The Wild

We'd all like to live our lives thinking that we're incredibly special and unique and that no one on Earth is like us, but that's not always the case.

The chances of someone looking exactly identical to you are slim (though not impossible), but there's an even slimmer chance that you're actually going to come across the people who look like you. In some cases, though, people beat the odds and come across their lookalikes in the wild.

This Has To Be A Joke

Rob (on the left) is a stand-up comedian who thought that someone must be pulling a prank on him when someone came up to meet him after a show and they looked exactly like him.

How are they not related?

Even The Hair Color Is The Same

These two girls were intentionally looking for each other after registering for a site that is meant to connect people around the world with their doppelgänger.

Version 1.0 on the left is from Washington and version 2.0 on the right is from Australia. The two flew to LA to meet each other in person.

Dentist Doppelgänger

Doctors and dentists are something that people sometimes like to shop around for, try out a couple of different people or offices before they find someone they're comfortable with.

This man was immediately comforted by his dentist who looks exactly like him.

Where's The Mirror Hidden?

The first two men look like they could be a mirror reflection of each other, with the third sleeping man coming in pretty close behind them in the lookalike competition.

Deja vu!

Time To Talk To Your Parents

These girls should definitely be going home to talk to their parents and get some answers, because two girls who look this much alike living in the same city is raising some questions.

Their parents have the answers.

The Same Look Of Misery

After first discovering that his twin was hanging in The Met in New York City, this man has made it a yearly tradition to come and take a photo with his doppelgänger.

Which one looks happiest to you?

The IKEA Encounter

IKEA is a store that most people could spend hours searching through based on the sheer number of products that they sell.

We didn't realize that you could custom order people too...

A Sea Of Blonde And Beige

Apparently, blonde women wearing beige jackets are particularly fond of riding the bus in that area of the city.

That, or there was a glitch in the Matrix going on, because we're seeing more than double.

It's Tough To Be A Trendsetter

These men are setting themselves up for a "who wore it best" showdown to happen in the office thanks to all three of them repeatedly wearing the same shirts to work.

Well, who wore it best?

The Tattoo Twin

The girls look similar to each other, though we wouldn't call them twins.

To make it more interesting, though, they also have very similar tattoos in the exact same spot on their bodies!

Weren't You Just Upstairs?

It would be confusing at a party to think that you just had a conversation with one of them, then suddenly you're downstairs being introduced to them, only to realize there's two of them floating around.

Have fun with that conversation.

The Shirt Seals The Deal

Their faces look similar to each other, but the fact that they're wearing the exact same outfit to a friend's wedding really helps to sell their status as doppelgängers.

The one on the right could just crouch down next time.

He Should Receive Compensation

That man had better be contacting that company to get some compensation for this photo, considering it's clearly a photo of him.

Or he can get the contact info for his long lost brother.

He Deserves The Royal Treatment

This woman's godson thinks that he's the Prince of England, literally, thanks to his resemblance to Prince George...

And he's pretty happy about that fact. Next thing you know he'll be asking you to bow to him.

Hand Position On Point

If you find a painting that looks like you in a museum, you have to mimic its pose, no matter what the pose is.

It's pretty much an unwritten rule.

This Painting Has A Lot Of Twins

Just as the man before him felt connected to this painting thanks to his resemblance, so does this man.

Funny enough, though, the two men posing with the painting don't look that much like each other.

A Glitch In The System

These three men all showed up that day to enjoy an innocent concert, not realizing that they'd be looking in a 3D mirror for the rest of their night.

Naturally, someone insisted they get a picture together.

Everyone Is Happy About This One

Every man in this photo looks like they're having a great time after discovering that these two strangers on a plane look exactly like each other.

The fun didn't stop there, though.

Doppelgänger Double Meet Up

By pure coincidence, the two men actually ran into each other once they got to their destination and happened to be staying in the same hotel.

Naturally, they had to get a drink together.

A Meeting Of Chance

These two men look like they haven't even come to the realization yet that they're sitting inches away from their doppelgänger.

Whoever took this photo has clearly realized the coincidence.

He Looks Pretty Happy

The sign says that he should be going back to school happy, and based on the smile on his face, he's living up to that challenge.

He just met his new hero.

The Police Are On Their Way

Based on this poster, this man is either a model who was given a not-so-glamorous role, or he's a criminal and we should be phoning the police to report an escaped convict.

Call the police!

They've Got Layers, Like An Onion

The first photo is one that's been floating around the internet after someone found their doppelgänger painting.

This man took it to the next level when he added the third layer.

Pretty As A Picture

Coming across a painting that has the same face as you is always interesting, but this man even has the incredibly fluffy hair and beard to match, which is even more unexpected.

They must be long lost relatives.

Doppelgänger Doll

It doesn't matter that this man has no practical use for a doll he found at HomeGoods.

When you stumble upon a doll that looks exactly like you, you purchase it.

The Face Swap Seals The Deal

There's no denying that these two men look alike, but what really hits it home is the fact that you can swap their faces and it looks completely ordinary.

You wouldn't be able to tell which face belonged to who.

Focus On The Important Questions

Yes, this girl looks a whole lot like the girl on-screen holding the tiger. More importantly, though, is the question they're asking.

Should kids be in the pool, swimming with the tigers?

He Can Sense Your Presence

This man's friend pointed out that someone behind him looked a whole lot like him, and that man's ears must have been burning because he turned just in time to pose for the photo and prove it.

Even the sweater matches!

He Must Be The Inspiration

I firmly believe that every character someone creates must be inspired by someone else, even if the creator isn't aware of the influence.

It could have been a stranger they saw somewhere or someone they know. This man was definitely the inspiration for Carl.

This Thrift Store Delivers

It doesn't matter what you came to the thrift store in search of, the right product always has a way of finding you.

And this painting that exactly resembles this man is definitely the right product to buy.

They Could Swap Out In Meetings

If you had an identical twin, chances are you swapped out of situations at least once or twice as a child.

What about using that to your advantage when you have a doppelgänger coworker?

Not As Unique As He Thought

The doppelgänger on the right admitted that his twin is clearly a better smiler than he is, but they were both excited to meet a man who looks so much like themselves.

I'd be excited, too.

It's Like Looking In A Mirror

If this were us and we had met a woman that looks as much like us as these two look like each other, we'd already have our parents on the phone to answer our questions.

We better get some answers, too!

Just As Confused As The Rest Of Us

men who found their doppelganger at school

These two finally came across each other after everyone else in the school had repeatedly mistaken them for each other.

They're just as confused as everyone else as to how they could look so similar but not be related.

A Picture Is Always Necessary With Your Doppelgänger

When your father, brother, and your cousins all mistake a stranger for you out in public, you have to at least take a photo together for proof that you have a twin walking around.

These two did the right thing.

You're Sure You're Not Related?

As far as they know, they're not related, but even these two men couldn't deny that their genes certainly seem to be telling a different story...

It's time to phone Mom and Dad.

They Even Share The Same Birthday?

Apparently, these two came across each other at a restaurant, and even though they're not related, they happen to have the same birthday...

Maybe they should double-check their birth certificates.

Someone Had International Relations

Other than the slight height difference between these two men, they're basically the same person.

One is from the United States, the other from Canada, and they met on a cruise!

They're Family, But Not By Blood

These two ran into each other at a wedding and discovered that they were distantly related, but not by blood.

One was a cousin of the groom, the other is a cousin's husband's sister, so it doesn't explain their resemblance.

Nailed The Facial Expression

Sure, you're obviously going to look more like someone who has the same haircut and wears the same outfit as you, but there's more to it than that.

These two look like clones, right down to the jawline.

Does He Get To Eat For Free?

man in kfc who looks like colonel sanders

You would think that if Colonel Sanders was showing up to random Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants, he'd at least get to eat for free.

Maybe he prefers to support the business.

This Actually Might Be Him

man on subway who looks like poster behind him

If we were sitting across from this man on the subway, we'd be tempted to ask him if he was the one posing for the photo advertisement that's behind him.

We're pretty sure it's him.

Time To Get A New Haircut

man with same haircut as sam adams poster

This young man discovered that he very closely resembled a cardboard cutout of the Samuel Adams logo and realized it just might be time for him to update his hairstyle...

Or maybe just roll with it.

Time Travel Must Be Real

woman in museum with The Broken Pitcher painting

There's no way that this woman could so closely resemble this painting from the 1800s unless she is a time traveler.

Or the subject of this painting could be her distant relative.

A Boardgame Hero

man found boardgame in netherlands that looks like him

While traveling through Europe, this Japanese man came across a board game in a store in Amsterdam that happens to have a main character who he thinks looks a lot like him.

The resemblance is uncanny.

His New Favorite Snack

If the logo on the bag looks exactly like you, it's easy to justify purchasing the snack, even if you told yourself you were going to start eating healthier.

You have to do it for your doppelgnäger.
