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

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!
