Lookalike actors (From different eras)

There's other threads here for lookalike-actors mostly pertaining to their own eras, but I don't think we've had one for current & bygone-times. So what do you got?

Rochelle Hudson/Carla Gugino


Guy Madison/Luke Perry


Marika Green/Natalie Portman


Marc Lawrence/Don Gordon


Zita Johann/Drew Barrymore

Re: Lookalike actors (From different eras)

I'll give you this, those actors from the past are some deep pulls.

I’ve always thought a young Helen Mirren looked like Jennifer Lawrence.

Re: Lookalike actors (From different eras)

Some nice work uncovering these likenesses, Mondo! I thought you might have used this one for Drew Barrymore, though ...

Her Playboy cover shot. There were some fascinating articles in that edition ...

They do not look like each other at all.

Re: Lookalike actors (From different eras)

^ Based on some of those pictures I’d say Lily Collins is intentionally trying to look like Hepburn.

Removed an unnecessary argument. But the rest of the post can stay. - Goldberg74

What exactly are you looking at when you think two people look alike? The clothes they are wearing?

Good thing I chose pictures where they both have mustaches and resemble each other, which is kind of the point isn't it?

Re: Lookalike actors (From different eras)

Count Dooku, the topic of the thread is “lookalikes” not “exact clones” or “doppelgängers,” There can be some latitude when it comes to what we perceive.

Stop being hyper critical and shake hands with Daytripper and move on.

Re: Lookalike actors (From different eras)

Now I know these aren’t from “different eras” but I think that Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem lookalike, as do Jeremy Allen White and Gene Wilder (okay, that’s different eras).




And there’s always Will Ferrell and Chad Smith from different occupations. 😉

I always thought Jeremy Allen White had a unique look but never realized how much he looked like Gene Wilder until you pointed it out. He should have been pegged to be in that "Wonka" prequel. I don't think he looks like the Boss at all FWIW. I hope he can pull that off.

Re: Lookalike actors (From different eras)

I just watched a documentary about Dolores Hart, an actress who left a successful Hollywood career to become a Benedictine nun in 1963. In her youth, she reminded me of Hallmark Channel actress Julie Gonzalo:
