Celebs Who Are Just Kirkland Versions of Other Celebs

We have Jon Snow at home

Margot Robbie & Samara Weaving

Again, looking like someone who was cast to play the theoretically unachievable beauty standards set by the Barbie doll isnt the worst hand to be dealt. Honestly, it was a huge missed opportunity not to get Samara Weaving in Barbie as some sort of duplicate Barbie that further throws Robbies character into existential panic. 

Either way, still definitely frustrating. I can also vouch for this one being highly confusing personally, as this article is how I found out that Margot Robbie was, in fact, never in the movie Ready or Not.

Kit Harington & Christopher Abbott

I feel like both guys here are haunted in some aspect by the fictional character of Jon Snow. Im sure Kit Harington feels a bit pigeonholed by it, and “you look too much like Jon Snow, a character you never played or were paid for” has to hurt twice as much. Which is a shame, because Christopher Abbott is a great actor in his own right. 

That said, he did nab a role in the Oscar-winning Poor Things, which might have had even Harington going, “Hey, you could have gotten me, you know.”

James Franco & Theo James

Should they ever go into a Fly-style device, we’ll be left with a combination of them, named Theo James Franco that… looks pretty much the same, to be honest. 

Again, because Im not naive enough to think that these sorts of articles dont often make their way to the subjects through PR roundups or just self-googling, I want to say to Theo James: You were great in The Gentleman. Sympathy, though, does have a limit when everyone involved is absolutely gorgeous. I mean, youd rather look like James Franco than “have an Elephant Man thing going on,” right?

Tom Hardy & Logan Marshall-Green

Okay, in this case, Im pretty sure Logan Marshall-Green is leaning into it. I mean, hes straight up making Tom Hardy face in this photo. Hes also, Im sorry to say, the first actor on this list who I cannot name a single movie hes been in. As such, I’m unable to defend him. 

Not to mention, if youre going to be thrust unwillingly into a lifelong acting 1v1, Tom Hardy isnt the opponent Id choose. Or a physical 1v1 either, to be honest.

Matt Damon & Jesse Plemons

To me, the absolute O.G. of the modern actor lookalike is the Jesse Plemons/Matt Damon resemblance, which makes it all the more impressive that Plemons has managed to cram his name into households alongside Damons. At this point, hes achieved a level of fame and critical success that would even allow for a third almost-twin to enter the ring. 

Plemons has long surpassed any difficulty it might have given him in finding work and has a heavy mantle in his own living room, holding multiple awards and an empty space for an Oscar that certainly seems in play at some point.
