    Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community which celebrity pairs look surprisingly alike to them.

    Here are 21 of their top responses:

    1. "I'm here to say I mostly went to Ready or Not in theaters because I saw the trailer and thought Samara Weaving was Margot Robbie."

    "Then, when I realized she wasn’t actually Margot, I figured they wanted Margot but just couldn’t afford her, so this actor MUST be good. 😂"

    2. "JUST figured out that Becca Tobin (Kitty from Glee) is NOT Fiona Gubelmann (Dr. Reznick from The Good Doctor)."

    "They looked like triplets or, at the very least, sisters."

    "I always include Winona Ryder when people talk about Keira and Natalie, and I feel so validated seeing someone else finally say it!!"

    7. "Adele ended up looking identical to Sarah Paulson."

    8. "I used to think Robbie Amell and Colin Egglesfield were the same person but eventually realized it wasn't likely Colin could play a teenager for that long (between an episode of Gilmore Girls and The Duff)."

    11. "I have gotten Matt Damon confused with at least ten other male celebrities. And it's not even that they look alike — it's just the vibe or something…Jesse Plemons is probably the 'obvious' choice..."

    "The list goes on 😭😭😭

    I’m convinced Matt Damon is just the prototype for a white male at this point."

    12. "Bob Odenkirk and Robson Green."

    15. "I don't think this comparison has been made before because I know it's an obscure one people might not agree with, but Gillian Jacobs and Halsey."

    "I've been a fan of Halsey's music for years, and when I finally binge-watched Community in lockdown, I was so taken aback by their likeness. 

    Halsey changes up her look a lot, so it's not always obvious, but they have very similar features, and whenever I see one of them, they remind me of the other."
