10 Top Footballers & Their Doppelgängers
Have you ever blamed your evil twin for something you did wrong?
Have you ever been told you look like a celebrity?
Have you ever watched a stunt double jump off a building in lieu of their celebrity counterpart and thought, "yeah, I could do that!"
Even if you answered no to all three questions, everybody loves a doppelgänger.
If you've ever watched even one episode of "The Vampire Diaries," you know what a doppelgänger is.
If this is gibberish to you, just know that a doppelgänger is a look-alike — and no, Elena Gilbert doesn't have the monopoly on them!
For example, a (very misguided) cashier at Trader Joe's once told me I look like Cersei Lannister from "Game of Thrones." Now, I may not have an obvious doppelgänger, but you know who does?
These famous footballers. Hooray!
Romelu Lukaku & Stormzy
The only way you can tell these two apart is because Big Rom is always the sweatier one.
Erling Haaland & Daemon Targaryen
Erling Haaland would not look out of place on the set of a high-fantasy TV series, in which a powerful family grapples for total dominion, cultivates dragons as pets, and occasionally dabbles in incest. You cannot tell me otherwise.
Harry Kane & Ryan Gosling
The reason our England skipper hasn't got any silverware yet? He's just Ken.
Andreas Pereira & Zayn Malik
Do you think Andreas Pereira went bleach blond to stop the boy band comparisons? Because I do!
Kevin de Bruyne & Prince Harry
We've always known KDB is football royalty.
Alisson Becker & Chris Hemsworth
The Internet happens to think Alisson Becker is the fourth Hemsworth bro. More importantly, he's a snack!
Mo Salah & Jason Mantzoukas
With great hair comes great responsibility. Mo and Jason seem to be shouldering said burdens (and their genetic similarities) quite well, thank you so much.
Phil Foden & Haris Namani
"Love Island's" Haris Namani went hard with the Cristiano Ronaldo comparisons. However, the Internet thinks he looks more like Phil Foden, with thicker hair. Do you see it?
Serge Gnabry & The Weeknd
Remember that whole thing about the Weeknd getting sued for "stealing elements" of someone else's music? Looks like he stole Serge's whole look, too.
Memphis Depay & John Legend
Mr. Legend said it best when he sang, "You and I / Ain't nobody in the world but you."
A special shout-out to Jamie Vardy & Lee Chapman
He's no celebrity, but here's a special shout-out to Jamie Vardy's lookalike, who happened to be an ordinary dude living in Leicester and working as a postman when he was thrust into the limelight (and into the Foxes' 2016 Premier League victory celebrations).
Though his relationship with the Vardys has since soured, let Lee's Cinderella story stand as a reminder that sometimes, good looks pay off!
