Although the likelihood of two people sharing the exact same facial features is one in a trillion, some people beat these odds and leave us amazed at how much they look like each other.
We’ve made a list of celebrities that look like someone from the past.
The resemblance will leave you thrilled and amazed, and you may even wonder if time travel is real!
John Krasinski and Carl Feilberg
Popularly known for his roles in The Office and A Quiet Place, John Krasinski is an actor and filmmaker born in the late ’70s. He shares strikingly similar facial features to Carl Adolf Feilberg, and one could argue that Carl reincarnated into a handsome actor.
Carl Feilberg was a journalist who was popular in the 1800s and was regarded as one of the most persistent human rights advocates in history. He was also a newspaper editor and a general commentator. The similarities between the journalist and the actor may be coincidental, or someone may have a time machine.
David Schwimmer and His Lookalike
David Schwimmer, aka Ross Geller, seems to have similar facial features to a gentleman from the 1800s. Schwimmer not only shares facial features with this man but is apparently also a gentleman.
The only striking difference in both pictures is David’s lack of a mustache. Slap a mustache on David’s face, give him a similar haircut, and you’ll get a spitting image of the gentleman in the photo on the left.
Eddie Murphy and a Mysterious Man
We all know how funny Eddie Murphy is and how he’s one of the highest-grossing actors in Hollywood. However, you may not know that Eddie has a doppelganger who lived in the late 1800s. Is this a mere coincidence, or did someone do some time traveling?
The picture on the left was taken in the 1890s, and Eddie’s picture was taken in 2015. The resemblance between both pictures is uncanny. Besides being an actor, comedian, producer, writer, and singer, we wonder if Eddie Murphy also dabbles in time traveling.
Johnny Depp and Someone’s Relative
Imagine discovering a photo of your great-grandfather and realizing he looked like someone you know. This was exactly what happened to a fellow who came across this picture of his great-grandfather. He realized his great-grandfather didn’t look like just any random person but Johnny Depp himself!
In the picture on the right, Johnny Depp has the same facial structure as the young man on the left. They both have a similar mustache and are wearing similar glasses. The overall appearance of both men and their striking resemblance makes it tough to believe Johnny Depp isn’t a time traveler.
Michael Jackson and a Statue
Michael Jackson was a world-renowned singer and one of the most famous artists of all time. Popularly known as the King of Pop, Michael Jackson inspired many people during his lifetime and after. After his passing, an Egyptian bust was discovered at the Field Museum, and the striking resemblance between Michael Jackson and the statue is wild!
We know how inspiring his music was, but we’re sure that the great King of Pop had no such influence 3,000 years ago. Egyptians 3,000 years ago didn’t dance to the beat of “Smooth Criminal,” and the resemblance between Michael and the statue can only be a coincidence.
Natalie Portman and a Teenager
Natalie Portman has graced our screens since she was a teenager and has starred in many blockbusters and independent movies. At age 41, she’s an actress, director, and producer. Having reached success at a young age, some of us are familiar with what she looked like back then.
A Reddit user uploaded a picture of her 13-year-old friend, and we’re in awe of how much she looks like a younger version of Natalie Portman! Their features are so similar, right down to their lips and beauty mark. You can color us amazed!
Maisie Williams and Someone’s Grandma
Maisie Williams gained recognition when she starred in the popular TV series, Game of Thrones. She played the character of the brave Arya Stark, and now at the age of 25, she has millions of fans worldwide.
However, was she really born in 1997? It seems she’s been around since 1936. A Reddit user found an old photo of her grandma and was thrilled to see the resemblance between her and Maisie. Anyone would have a hard time convincing us the person on the left isn’t Maisie.
Steve Martin and Someone’s Relative
Steve Martin is a comedian, actor, writer, producer, and musician. Once in a while, he’s been known to take his comedy from his stage to his wardrobe, but this is the first time we’re seeing him in a dress and a matching hat.
A Reddit user uploaded the photo of the great-great-grandmother of his friend’s boyfriend, and we agreed with this user when they said the woman in the photo looks like Steve. We’d do anything to get Steve to humor us and relive this photo!
