19 Celebrities With Their Doppelgangers From The Past
DiCaprio, Leonardo. Eminem. DeGeneres. What do they all share except the fact that they are wealthy and well-known? Each of them has a historical twin. That's accurate. Whatever you choose to name them, all of these well-known individuals resemble those in old photographs. If you look closely, all of these historical figures, from George Washington to your typical random 19th-century gentleman, have doppelgängers in contemporary pictures.
While some twins throughout history achieved fame in their own right, others remained unknown. Some have photographic proof, while others simply have a picture or sculpture (hey, those were also based on actual people, right?). Some of these well-known doubles in old photographs resemble the biggest stars in the world in terms of a few physical characteristics (Bruce Willis and General Douglas Macarthur share the same eyes, for instance).
In contrast, others are exact replicas of current celebrities (are Keanu Reeves and Peter Dinklage vampires or time travelers?). Maybe one of these celebrities might portray them in a historical drama. View the historical lookalikes on this list of celebrities who resemble them, and then vote for the pair you believe most closely resembles the other.
