Separated at Birth? 50 stars who look similar
Most celebrities make it in Hollywood for their unique looks, undeniable talent and one-of-a kind style. They are often imitated and never duplicated. But there's a theory that everybody has a twin and that same theory rings true for some of Hollywood's most notable stars. CTVNews.ca's Latoya Williams lists 50 stars who look like other stars.

Who: Charlize Theron and Natalie Maines
These two blonde beauties share similar features. Stick a guitar in Academy Award winner Theron's hands and give her a microphone and one could mistake her for the lead singer of the 'Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines.

Who: Eva Mendes and Cindy Crawford
Long dark hair, long legs and sex appeal make the actress and supermodel look like sisters. Plus, they both have that trademark facial mole.

Who: Josh Hartnett and Ashton Kutcher
Hartnett looks like he could be Kutcher's stunt double. Put a dark-haired, older woman on his arm and he could easily be mistaken for the 'Two and a Half Men' star.

Who: Aaron Rodgers and Jake Gyllenhaal
Green Bay Packers quarterback Rodgers looks more like Hollywood hottie Gyllenhaal more than his actress sister Maggie Gyllenhaal.
AP/Darron Cummings/Evan Agostini
Who: America Ferrera and Jordin Sparks
'Ugly Betty' star America Ferrera and 'American Idol' winner Jordin Sparks look so much alike it's eerie. We're these two separated at birth?
AP /Dan Steinberg/Katy Winn
Who: Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe
If the 'Lord of the Rings' ever met 'Harry Potter' it would be difficult to tell who was who. These guys look so much alike they could swap roles and no one would ever be able to tell.
AP/Dan Steinberg/Evan Agostini
Who: Jessica Alba, Alicia Keys and Vanessa Minnillo
No, it's not the same person wearing different outfits. These talented ladies all have very similar features. If Alicia ever needs a stand-in for one her concerts Vanessa or Jessica would do just fine stepping in -- let's just hope one of the two can sing.
AP/Kristian Dowling/Evan Agostini/Jason DeCrow
Who: Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman
These two actresses must have been separated at birth. They look so much alike that Knightley played the decoy Queen to Natalie Portman's Queen Amidala in 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace.'
AP/Peter Kramer/Dan Steinberg
Who: Kris Humphries and Taylor Lautner
If you added a few more inches to 'Twilight' star Lautner, stuck a basketball in his hands and put him right next to Kim Kardashian, many would confuse him with Kim Kardashian's hubby Kris Humphries.
AP/Matt Sayles/Michel Euler
Who: Mary-Kate Olsen and Michelle Pfeiffer
Even though there's a couple decades between these two, Pfeiffer could be an Olsen sister -- or a long-lost older aunt.
AP/Joel Ryan/Eckehard Schulz
Who: Heath Ledger and Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Ledger may be gone, but if there ever are any plans for a 'Brokeback Mountain' sequel, Gordon-Levitt would be a good choice to replace the Austarlian actor.
AP/Mark Mainz/Hermann J. Knippertz
Who: Bob Saget and Stephen Colbert
Both of these funny men look eeirly similar. Makes you wonder if there's something they're not telling us.
AP/Dan Steinberg/Cliff Owen
Who: Paul Rudd and Ben Affleck
Looking like Ben Affleck must land Rudd a lot of acting gigs and auditions. Too bad for him when the casting director finds out he's not actually Affleck.
AP/Kevin Wolf/Michael Dwyer
Who: Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver
Okay -- so these two must have been separated at birth. Either that or Weaver has an alter ego and dresses up and calls herself Jamie Lee Curtis when she's feeling wild and crazy.

Who: Tina Fey and Sarah Palin
We all got a huge laugh when Tina Fey impersonated Sarah Palin on 'Saturday Night Live', but she did it so well, we actually started to believe she was running for vice-president of the United States.
AP/Dana Edelson, NBCU Photo Bank/Stephan Savoia
Who: Jennifer Garner and Hilary Swank
They could pass as sisters. Both stars are very similar in many ways, the only difference is Garner doesn't have any Academy gold, but she does have Ben Affleck.
Hounorable Mention: Julia Roberts
AP/Evan Agostini/Vince Bucci
Who: Khloe Kardashian and Joanie Laurer
Khloe is just a nose job and a few bicep curls away from being former professional wrestler Joanie Laurer.
AP/ Louis Lanzano
Who: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Javier Bardem and Robert Downey Jr.
These three look so much alike, even their mothers would get confused trying to tell who's who.
AP/Evan Agostini/Chris Pizzello
Who: Peter Facinelli and Christian Bale
Are they twins? One plays a vampire and one's 'Batman', but it's hard to tell. We can all agree that they're both hot.
AP/Matt Sayles/Jae C. Hong
Who: Leelee Sobieski and Helen Hunt
Leelee Sobieski -- meet you in about 20 years or so. Sobieski and Hunt could pass as a mother and daughter celebrity team, but we checked -- no DNA between the two.
AP/Peter Kramer/Mark J. Terrill
Who: Amy Smart and Peta Wilson
Hey Amy, we found your long lost twin sister and her name is Peta Wilson -- you may know of her, she plays Nikita in the television series 'La Femme Nikita.'
AP/Dan Steinberg/Danny Moloshok
Who: Ray Romano and Zach Braff
Everybody loves Raymond...or is it Zach? Hard to tell with these two. Braff, best known for his role on 'Scrubs,' surely looks like a younger version of the comedian and former star of the television show 'Everybody Loves Raymond.'
AP/Stuart Ramson/Peter Kramer
Who: Portia De Rossi and Drea De Matteo
They kind of have matching last names, so if these lovely ladies are related we wouldn't be surprised. They're practically identical.
AP/Jeff Christensen/Stephen Chernin
Who: Adam Sandler and Jason Biggs
Jason Biggs from the American Pie flicks and funnyman Adam Sandler from Mr. Deeds look like they could be brothers but since they're not, we'll settle on a movie with the two funnymen playing brothers.
AP/Richard Drew/Katy Winn
Who: Selma Blair and Michelle Monaghan
Blair and Monaghan could pass as sisters. Seriously -- are they sisters? It must be the long dark hair.
AP/Andrew Medichini/Peter Kramer
Who: Emma Stone and Mila Kunis
Kunis has some competition in the younger Emma Stone. Both ladies are often seen hamming it up on the red carpet together. Rumour has it they are BFFs, so it only makes sense that they look alike.
Honourable Mention: Vanessa Hudgens
AP/Chris Pizzello/Matt Sayles
Who: Sean Avery and Sam Worthington
One's an arrogant and gaffe-prone bad boy NHL hockey player and the other is a down-to-earth actor who plays a Na'vi/human in the 2009 blockbuster film 'Avatar.' Although they look similar, their personalities are in stark contrast.
AP /Hans Pennink/Dan Steinberg
Who: Meryl Streep and Jennifer Ehle
These two lovely ladies have almost identical features. They're both highly acclaimed actresses, which may lead some to believe that Ehle may have been adopted.
AP/Michel Spingler/Jonathan Short
Who: Gwyneth Paltrow and Mia Wasikowska
Wow! Wasikowska must be channeling her inner Gwyneth Paltrow because these stunning ladies look almost identical.
AP/Chris Pizzello/Joel Ryan
Who: Kim Kardashian, Roselyn Sanchez and Nicole Scherzinger
One's a reality star and socialite, one's a good actress and the other's a not-so-good singer. It's hard to tell who is who by just looking at them, but take a look at some of their work and it won't be hard to figure it out.
AP/Peter Kramer/Dan Steinberg/Chris Pizzello
Who: Skeet Ulrich and Johnny Depp
This was a common case of mistaken identify back in the 1990s. Makes you wonder how many time Skeet pretended to be Johnny to build up his stock with the ladies.
AP/Nick Ut/Koji Sasahara
Who: Alan Cumming and Paul Reubens
It's eerie how much theses two guys look alike. Sort of like Michael and LaToya Jackson eerie.
AP/Peter Kramer/Dan Steinberg
Who: Nick Nolte and Gary Busey
Some say Busey is the poor man's version of Nolte. Busey's a bit crazier than Nolte, but the resemblance is uncanny.
CP/AP/J.P. Moczulski/Gus Ruelas
Who: Courteney Cox and Demi Moore
It seems as though Demi and Courteney have the same plastic surgeon, because the pair are beginning to look identical. They could easily be stand-ins for one another should the need arise.
Honourable Mention: Nelly Furtado
AP/Richard Drew/Evan Agostini
Who: Kerr Smith and Julian MacMahon
Kerr Smith, meet your long-lost father Julian MacMahon. Their dark hair and facial structure makes many wonder.
AP/Matt Sayles/Reed Saxon
Who: Hugh Jackman and Goran Visnjic
Though he's not in the same league as Jackman, the fact that Visnjic resembles the 'X-Men' actor must give him a bit of leverage in Hollywood. They even have the same smile.
AP/Stuart Ramson/Joel Ryan
Who: Tessa Virtue and Kate Middleton
Don't know what it is, but these two beauties really do look alike. One's a champion figure skater and the other is royalty. From the long dark hair and high cheekbones, these two could be cousins.
AP/Ivan Sekretarev/Bret Hartman
Who: Ralph Fiennes and Bradley Cooper
Both are great actors and both are really, really hot and the fact that they both look the same, gives us double the eye candy.
AP/Dima Gavrysh/Peter Kramer
Who: Brooke Hogan and Cameron Diaz
If Diaz got a spray tan, made a horrible music video and started hanging out with Hulk Hogan, then she could be mistaken for Brooke.
AP/Jeff Christensen/Misha Japaridze
Who: Jessie Eisenberg and Andy Samberg
The double 'berg' is what we have here. These two look so much alike, Samberg parodied Eisenberg's character from the film 'The Social Network' on 'Saturday Night Live,' which was actually Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who also looks like the two actors -- making it a triple 'berg.'
Honourbale Mentions: Mark Zuckerberg and Michael Cera
AP/Marion Curtis/Peter Kramer
Who: Zooey Deschanel and Katy Perry
Were Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel separated at birth? Their dark hair and bright blue eyes point to yes and rumour has it that Deschanel is often mistaken for the 'I Kissed a Girl' singer.
AP/Chris Pizzello/Evan Agostini
Who: Bill Murray and Jim Belushi
Not only do the two funnymen have humour in common, they both look so much alike, they could be brothers.
AP/Lefteris Pitarakis/Jeff Roberson
Who: Elle Fanning and Chloe Grace Moretz
Meet the counterparts to the Olsen twins -- well, not exactly -- they're not related, but it's hard to tell with these two young Hollywood starlets.
AP/Matt Sayles
Who: Michael McDonald and Nicolas Cage
Ever since he shed some pounds, Cage has been sharing his face with former MADtv star McDonald.
AP/Stuart Ramson/Chris Young
Who: Brittany Snow and Reese Witherspoon
Both these cuties have blonde hair and blue eyes, they both started out their careers as child models and both were born in the month of March. These two could easily be mistaken as sisters.
AP/Matt Sayles/Evan Agostini
Who: George Clooney and Adam Arkin
Many people think it was Clooney who played Principal Gibb on the television show '8 Simple Rules,' but it was actually Arkin.
AP/Mark J. Terrill/Joel Ryan
Who: Nicole Kidman, Amy Adams and Kate Winslett
This luscious trio all have long, flowing hair to match their long, slim torsos. While they may not look like triplets, these blue-eyed beauties could pass as sisters, or best friend look-a-likes.
AP/Evan Agostini/Chris Pizzello/Matt Sayles
Who: Shakira and Beyonce
They're both known for their sexy moves and lyrics and both stars have made it to the top of the charts with their booty-licious hits and when they collaborated on music video together it was hard to tell, who was who.
AP/Mark J. Terrill/Joel Ryan
Who: Tom Brady and Matt Damon
Striking eyes, sandy blonde hair, dimpled chins. The facial features on these two heartthrobs are so identical, they could pass as brothers. And what's hotter than an athlete and actor duo?
AP/CP/Stephan Savoia?Jonathan Hayward
Who: Megan Fox and Angelina Jolie
What else can be said but, double the pleasure, double the fun. The brunette bombshells can make any head turn with their svelte physiques, beautiful eyes, luxurious hair and bad-girl persona. They could pass as cousins and partners-in-crime.
