Are They Twins? Shocking Photos Of Actors And Their Body Doubles

Awkwafina

Starring in the intensely popular remake of the classic Jumanji movie, Jumanji: The Next Level, Awkwafina had nothing but praise for her talented stunt double. Like many of the other actors and actresses on this list, Awkwafina gave her stunt double a serious shout-out on social media for always being there when needed. She posted this photo to herself and her double, Lee Chelsey, on her account and thanked her double for “making me look way cooler than I am, being a total inspirational badass, and making sure the crotch harness was adequately fit.” She also called Chelsey the “real hero” on the set.

Mark Ruffalo

Which is which? One of the two devilishly handsome men in this photo is Mark Ruffalo, star of the Marvel Universe’s The Incredible Hulk film series. Ruffalo is an extremely talented man whose dynamic acting skills helped bring this green character to life. Throughout the Incredible Hulk and Avengers films, Ruffalo always had his stunt double by his side. We have to admit that the production team couldn’t have found a better body double than Anthony Molinari! These two could easily be mistaken for brothers, or even twins! The amazing casting is one of the reasons the Marvel movies have been so wildly successful over the years.

Candace Cameron Bure

Candace Cameron Bure has come a long way from her time as the oldest sister in the hit American sitcom Full House. While she reprised her role as DJ Tanner in the sequel Fuller House, Bure has also spent quite a bit of time building her acting credits by starring in various Hallmark movies. On the set of one of her latest Hallmark movies, she took this picture with her and her stunt double arm-in-arm and mentioned how strange it was to work with someone whose features so closely mirrored her own. Candance stated that she was “seeing double” while on the set, and we’re definitely seeing double just looking at this picture!

Johnny Depp

The man of legend, mystery, and a billion fangirls’ dreams, Johnny Depp, has an extensive track record for starring in high-profile films. He’s probably most well known for his portrayal of Captain Jack in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, but he’s also starred in major productions like Edward Scissorhands and Alice in Wonderland. His acting prowess and stunning good looks are second to none… except perhaps for his stunt double! Who would have thought that there was another person out there walking around with Johnny Depp’s face. Hopefully, Amber Heard never runs into Depp’s stunt double and mistakes the man for her ex-lover.

Mindy Kaling

Mindy Kaling is an amazing actress, with a dynamic range, but a particular talent for starring in comedies. She was highly praised for her role in The Office , and fans absolutely adore her on The Mindy Project. You might not expect a stunt double to be needed on the set of a comedy, but things still happen, and stand-ins are occasionally required. Kaling posted this photo of herself and her body double, Donisha Walker, on Twitter. She wished her pal a happy birthday and gave fans a fun little glimpse into the behind-the-scenes workings of The Mindy Project.

Tom Hiddleston

We talked about the God of Thunder and his epic stunt double earlier on, and now it’s time to give some love to his little brother, Loki. Playing one of the most popular villains in the Marvel Universe is Tom Hiddleston. Just like Chris Hemsworth, Hiddleston does an excellent job of capturing the complexity of his character’s past and present and portraying him in a way that’s still relatable for audiences. Of course, Loki gets up to a ton of shenanigans throughout the films, so it makes sense that the actor portraying him would need a stunt double or two! The men in this photo look very similar to Hiddleston, and it appears they had a great time on set together!

Halle Berry

Whether you know her from her earlier projects like Catwoman or her more recent roles like Moonfall, Halle Berry has one of those faces that are instantly recognizable. Berry recently starred in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, and she worked incredibly hard to get into the right shape for that role. Her stunt double, Anisha Gibbs, spoke to People Magazine in May 2019 about the movie and shared some awesome insight into the star. Halle’s work ethic is absolutely incredible and I admire her so much. Halle loves the craft as much as I do, which made training that much more intense, and her work ethic, drive and determination were impeccable,” she said. We can really feel the love!

Tom Hardy

Who remembers the epic DC film The Dark Knight Rises from 2012? This film was one of the greatest of all Batman movies ever produced, and it received serious critical acclaim and praise from fans. Tom Hardy played the main villain in the movie, Bane. Most notably, he wore a mask that altered his voice significantly, and it became a signature aspect of his character for the duration of the movie. Hardy’s stunt double does an excellent job of capturing the actor’s essence and he did an amazing job as his stand-in throughout the movie.

Reese Witherspoon

Reese Witherspoon is one of those names from the entertainment industry that everyone instantly recognizes. Perhaps you recognize her from her roles in Wild or Your Place or Mine, but this photo was captured on the set of her HBO series Big Little Lies. Witherspoon took to Instagram to introduce her followers and fans to her body double, Marilee Lessley, for the first time. Their resemblance is absolutely uncanny! This is what Witherspoon had to say about her body double in the selfie video she posted, “I want to introduce you to someone who has been working with me for years. This is Marilee and she’s my double. Don’t we look alike? We totally do.”

Ben Affleck

Known for his impressive acting range and for starring in dozens of high-profile films, including Batman vs. Superman, Good Will Hunting, and Gone Girl, Ben Affleck is one of those names that everyone instantly recognizes. Affleck has had an impressive career and won multiple awards for his portrayal of complex, dynamic characters. Along the way, he’s had the help of some amazing body doubles. Perhaps the man in this photo looked the most similar to Affleck, and it’s actually a little startling to see. Are these two sure they aren’t secretly twins?

Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson

Everyone knows about The Rock! He’s the star of over a dozen intense action films, including the Fast & Furious series and the new Jumanji series. The Rock has a heart as big as his biceps, and never shies away from sharing the credit with those he’s worked with. He posted a heartwarming video on Instagram to let his fans and followers know how much he appreciates his stunt double, Tanoai Reed. He gifted Reed a custom pickup truck to thank him for 17 years of dedication and hard work. If you think these two look so similar that they could be related- then you’re correct! Reed is actually Johnson’s cousin!

Brad Pitt

Who doesn’t love Brad Pitt and his massively popular films. Known for his roles in critically acclaimed high profile films, such as Fight Club, Troy, and Babylon, Brad Pitt has established himself as a prominent actor with an impressive range of skills. Standing by his side throughout his spectacular career has been his body double. This man has aided Pitt in various roles throughout his career, and somehow, they continue to look nearly identical. Aside from a minor difference in height, these two could easily be mistaken for being the same person.

Jared Padalecki

Known for his role on the long-running CW drama Supernatural, Jared Padalecki is well known for enjoying a prank or two on set. This actor played Sam Winchester, one part of the dynamic demon-hunting duo that made the series a cult classic and popular enough to sustain itself for 15 incredible seasons. Padalecki’s stunt double, Mike Carpenter, supported the actor throughout the series and did an incredible job of standing in for the actor whenever a new supernatural creature needed to toss him around. Padalecki posted this photo on Twitter to say thanks and also poke a little fun at Carpenter. It wouldn’t be Padalecki if he didn’t throw in a joke or two!
