No two people are the same.
Every individual on the planet is beautiful and unique like a snowflake. Etc., etc., etc.
But don’t these photos of unrelated doppelgangers (yep, none of these people are related to each other) make you feel like you’re seeing double?
Canadian artist Francois Brunelle took this series of photographs after he became fascinated by the idea that there were unrelated people out there, that looked so much alike, it is impossible to believe that they weren’t related.
The idea came to Francois because of frequency of people telling him he looked like Mr Bean.
We’re not sure that the resemblance is that strong, but his photos tell a compelling story. Francois spent 12 years tracking down people who looked the same.
He told The Mirror, “I was inspired by 2 things: first I used to see look-alikes all over since a very long time. Second, my own likeness with TV character Mr Bean,” he said.”
“I am fascinated by the fact that a man born and raised in Hungary would bear a strong resemblance to a person born and raised in Canada… Or that a couple, living together just look like brother and sister.”
Do you think these photos of dopplegangers look like twins? Do you have a celebrity doppleganger?

I apparently look like Nicole Kidman . Or so I've been told
This is fascinating! I like the comments too, about whether their lives are similar or different. And also how often you have people say you look like someone else.
I get that too, and like other posters I immediately question whether my physicality must be more common than I thought. Possibly it is, but I have never seen these dopplegangers myself so can't confirm & admit to have been skeptical about how alike we really do look.
So what I find very interesting is that many of us are having this same experience, and then these photos certainly do suggest that there are people who do look eerily similar.
I'd kinda like to see my dopplegangers. Maybe next time someone says it to me I'll insist they take a picture of them and show me!
