20 Famous Lookalikes: A Comparison of Celebrities from Different Eras

There are over eight billion people in the world, and with only so many ways a human being can look, it's inevitable that there will be some overlap. This is true even for celebrities, and trying to figure out who a certain actor or singer resembles is a fun game for many. We're here to help you play, but with a twist - here are 20 celebrities who bear an uncanny resemblance to someone from a different era.

Some of these doppelgängers share similar roles in life, such as Clark Gable and George Clooney, who are both considered the leading men of their respective generations. On the other hand, there are pairs like Justin Timberlake and an unknown man from history whose mugshot bears a striking similarity to the pop star. My personal favorite pairing is Chuck Norris and Vincent Van Gogh, both of whom sport ginger beards but excel in different talents - one with his fists and the other with his paintbrush.

These 20 celebrities and their historical lookalikes showcase the diversity and uniqueness of human appearance throughout different time periods.
