TOMMY LEE JONES AND ANDREW JOHNSON
If you haven’t noticed yet, let us tell you that America’s 17th President, Andrew Johnson, is, to a huge degree, the look-alike of Tommy Lee Jones. Johnson was born in 1808 and became the President after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Jones, on the other hand, is an American actor renowned and highly acclaimed in the field of acting. Jones is also known to have played the role of a military leader many times now, but never the role of a President. We know for sure that Jones would become a great Andrew Johnson onscreen.
MARK ZUCKERBERG AND PHILIP IV OF SPAIN
Mark Zuckerberg is one of the key persons alive today who changed and redefined relationships by connecting people through Facebook. Worth noting, too, is that he resembles Philip IV of Spain. He could be a distant relative–maybe Philip IV was the great grandad of Zuckerberg. But there’s no way of telling now. All we know is that they not only look alike but parallel each other to such a degree that it is outrageous. Philip IV was the king of Spain, after all, and Zuckerberg is, well, the king of social media. It’s just puzzling how they both look alike, despite the four centuries that existed between them.
BEN SCHWARTZ AND LEON TROTSKY
Ben Schwartz is an American actor, comedian, improv artist, writer, director, and producer. He is known for his role in the sitcom, Parks and Recreation–he played Jean-Ralphio Saperstein. Leon Trotsky, on the other hand, was born Lev Davidovich Bronstein in 1879. He was a Russian revolutionary and, to his credit, coined the phrase Trotskyism. It is said to be a philosophy that opposes the theories of Stalinism. Schwartz seems identical to Trotsky, and they even have eerily similar facial features.
JOHNNY DEPP AND ARTHUR SCHOPENHAUER
“It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.” ― Arthur Schopenhauer
Starting off this list are Johnny Depp and Arthur Schopenhauer. In his time, Schopenhauer was a philosopher, well-known for his book, The World as Will and Representation, which he made in 1818. Furthermore, his works have been described as the best example of philosophical pessimism. After Arthur’s passing in 1860, his principles regarding aesthetics, morality, and psychology became a source of influence for artists and thinkers studying his works. Meanwhile, Johnny Depp is a very well-known actor, especially for his acting credits in films like Edward Scissorhands, the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, and Sweeney Todd. Outside of acting, Depp also has formed a rock band with Alice Cooper, and Joe Perry called Hollywood Vampires. Even though Depp and Schopenhauer were born two generations apart, the iconic actor and influential philosopher somehow share the same looks.
ZACH GALIFIANAKIS AND LOUIS VUITTON
Louis Vuitton is more than just a brand and fashion company, he was a famous French designer of leather goods and haute couture. He was born on August 4, 1821, in Anchay, a small hamlet in the mountainous area of eastern France. More than a century passed, and decades after Vuitton passed away leaving his firmly established fashion company, the actor Zach Galifianakis was born. Galifianakis grew up also famous, maybe not known for fashion or any educational degree related to it, but he is of Greek descent. We don’t know about anything, only that they look a lot like each other.
PETER DINKLAGE AND SEBASTIÁN DE MORRA
You’ve no doubt seen this guy a lot, especially if you followed the most popular HBO series, Game of Thrones. If not, then you’ve seen him from time to time on social media memes and posters for sure. His character in the series was that of Tyrion Lannister. He was such a key character in the whole story, and for his performance, he was given credit as an outstanding supporting actor by the Primetime Emmy Award-giving body. Ironically, in 1645, there was also a popular court dwarf and jester in the courts of Philip IV of Spain. His name was Sebastian de Morra. What’s so interesting about this is that Dinklage and de Morra look so much alike in face and form. You’d wonder if reincarnation is a possibility. It’s just mind-blowing!
ORLANDO BLOOM AND NICOLAE GRIGORESCU
Nicolae Grigorescu was a Roman painter born in the year 1838. He was known for both his church paintings and his historical and impressionist paintings. If you look closely at the portrait, you will find that he looks just like Orlando Bloom in his Pirates of the Caribbean film. However, Bloom was born in 1977, which is over 70 years after Grigorescu’s death. Bloom, as a movie artist, also had many TV and screen credits to his name. He became famous for his craft just like Grigorescu, who’s known for his works.
SEAN PENN AND YOUNG ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Abrahan Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, and he grew up to become the 16th President of the United States of America. Before becoming the President of America, Lincoln was a law degree holder and practiced it in Springfield, Illinois. Many people honored him as the President who led the nation through the greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis of America. Insanely enough, it’s quite a wonder how much Sean Penn, who was born fifteen decades later, looks a lot like Honest Abe. Also interesting is how Penn has always played the role of a lawyer, but never a president.
JOHN GOODMAN AND BRANCH RICKEY
Wesley Branch Rickey was born in 1881 in Portsmouth, Ohio. He was a famous baseball player back in the day and has also experienced success as a manager, and eventually general manager. He became known for his activism against racism, especially in Major League Baseball. At his prime, he broke the norm to a huge degree and he signed Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers. John Goodman was born seven decades later, and can’t help but wonder how they look so much alike. No one can deny the physical resemblance.
ROBERT DE NIRO AND JOHANN VOGT
Johann Vogt was born in Germany in the year 1695 and became a known theologian, bibliophile, and preacher at the Bremen Cathedral. Quite interestingly, there’s a big chance that even after two centuries, he’s managed to remain alive in the person of legendary actor Robert De Niro. If you must know, De Niro also portrayed a role as a disguised monk in the 1997 movie, Hoodlums, with credits opposite actress Michelle Pfeiffer. Some would say the Vogt photo could’ve been edited or doctored to look like De Niro, but no, it is not. It’s pretty accurate down to that iconic mole.
