Ever had to do a double take because you suspected you saw your favourite artist? Or even someone you may be associated with personally? Well, there’s a whole day dedicated to this.
Look Alike Day falls on April 20th, and if you’ve ever been told you look similar to someone else, then it’s a day for you!
People have been known to celebrate in weird and wacky ways. From spending the day with the person, they look like, dressing identically and copying each other’s mannerisms, or changing social media profile pictures with their doppelgängers, it’s an excuse to embrace your silliness and have a light-hearted laugh.
It’s said that there are at least 7 people in the world who look like you, with chances being that there are loads more, so there’s a fair chance you may have come across a recognisable face along the way. Obviously identical twins know all too well what it’s like to be seeing double, but you don’t have to share genetics to share recognisable features.
Collecting celebrity doppelgangers has even become a hobby for some, with the ‘Same de la Same’ Instagram community committed to sharing celebrity look-alike photos with the world. Warning- you can end up going down a social media rabbit hole, once you see one intrigue sparks you to look more.
Let’s see if you can be fooled by a doppelganger or two. Check out these faces to see if any seem familiar to you…
So, on Tuesday 20th, keep your eye out for any lookalikes that may leave you second guessing, and celebrate your likeness to another, tis’ the day for it after all!
