The incredible resemblance of 18 celebrities and their "historical" clones
There is a myth that everyone has a double physique somewhere in the world. And it's not about the theory of parallel universes -multiverse- or the döppelganger, or anything like that. Simply that among all the millions of inhabitants of the earth, random genetic crosses occur that allow two people, even from the most distant points, to possess the same traits.
In fact, there were cases of people who embarked on social media campaigns to find their contemporary clone, some luckier than others.
Of course, finding twice the number of celebrities is much easier for exposure than finding the "copy" of a normal person. Some of these similarities are astonishing, due to the fact that they are two beings with a certain renown in their time; Others simply found that a relative - or a pictorial work - also bore similarities to a famous person.
Mark Zuckerberg and Felipe IV of Spain
One, Zuckerberg, hardly needs an introduction. Social media guru, visionary and one of the richest young people in the world. The other, Felipe IV, reigned in Spain for 39 years, in what was the longest term of the House of Austria. The first will be remembered more for his achievements and advances, the second - known as the Planet King - is recognized for having lost Portugal and being a fundamental part of the bloody 30 Years War (1618-1648), which devastated the Old continent.
Jennifer Lawrence and Zubaida Tharwat
Both actresses, but from different industries and moments in history. Jennifer Lawrence, a 2012 Oscar winner for The Light Side of Life, is one of the most sought-after faces in Hollywood, while Tharwat, now retired, was a star of Egyptian film, television and theater, who was Known as "the queen of romance".
Orlando Bloom and Nicolae Grigorescu
British actor Orlando Bloom rose to fame thanks to the successful Lord of the Rings saga, in which he played Legolas, although his role in the also hyper-cutthroat Disney franchise Pirates of the Caribbean made him a megastar. For his part, Grigorescu was a very important Romanian artist (1838-1907) and is considered the father of modern painting in his nation.
Nicolas Cage and the Unknown Soldier
Perhaps one of the most viral cases. Much was speculated on social networks about whether or not the actor Nicolas Cage is a vampire, all due to the similarity with a photo that emerged a couple of years ago on the internet of an unknown soldier during the time of the American Civil War (1861 to 1865). Believe or burst.
Bruce Willis and General Douglas MacArthur
The actor Bruce Willis has been characterized by forming tough characters, such as a policeman, a war hero and even a G.I. Joe. Perhaps one of the keys to receiving so many roles of the style is his physique du rôle that resembles the most decorated military man in the history of the United States: Douglas MacArthur, who led the Allied triumph in the Pacific during World War II.
Sylvester Stallone and Pope Gregory IX
Sly is a renowned actor, who made his mark with two classics that had multiple sequels, such as Rambo and Rocky. On the other hand, Gregory IX was high pontiff between 1227 and 1241 and Pope No. 178 of the Catholic Church. During his reign the Inquisition became a papal affair thanks to the bull Excommunicamus.
Christina Aguilera and Ginger Rogers
Christina Aguilera emerged from the famous Mickey Mouse House, like other pop icons of the turn of the century. Although she remains a public figure, she will never have the recognition of Ginger Rogers, one of the great actresses in Hollywood history, with more than 70 films to her credit.
Jack Black and Paul Revere
Both share the origin, the USA, although Black is much better known in popular culture for his roles in films such as High Fidelity, Blind Love, School of Rock and King Kong. However, Revere is considered a hero of the northern country, remembered for his work as a goldsmith - a handmade utensil by him costs thousands of dollars - but even more for his famous Midnight Parade, in which he warned of the arrival of the British royalist forces during the war of independence with the famous phrase "the red capes are coming" (the red capes are coming).
Peter Dinklage and Sebastián de Morra
Dinklage is one of the actors of the moment thanks to his character of Tyrion Lannister in the series Game of Thrones, although he already had several roles on the big screen that had highlighted him, such as Elf and Death at the funeral. The American actor had a clone more than 400 years ago and it can be seen in the Prado Museum, Spain, in one of the most emblematic works of the painter Diego Velázquez, called El bufón el Primo or El bufón don Sebastián de Morra.
Tilda Swinton and David Bowie3
They are both English and contemporary, although the great David Bowie left planet earth earlier this year. In fact, the physical similarity of the actress and the singer was something very special for them and they made the video for the song The Stars (Are Out Tonight) together, in which they changed roles. "He just looked like me, and he seemed like someone who came from my own planet," Swinton said in an interview after assuring that she was united by a "cosmic connection" with the iconic artist also known as the White Duke, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin. Heal.
Justin Timberlake and a stranger
Like Aguilera, Timberlake emerged from the famous children's mouse show and, like him, also has his clone, although much less well known. In fact, since the photo of his clone appeared on the web, it was still not possible to identify who it was. Of course, the resemblance is amazing.
Jimmy Fallon and Mahir Cayan
For most, Jimmy Fallon became a hit after his replacement for Conan O'Brien on the Late Show. Today, his interview videos are reproduced on social networks, although already on Saturday Night Live he was an emblematic figure of American humor. His doppelgänger is Mahir Cayan, the Turkish revolutionary leader of the Liberation Movement, who was assassinated in 1972.
Alec Baldwin and Millard Fillmore
Fillmore was the thirteenth president of the United States and his great work was to open political and commercial relations with Japan, which until that moment was isolated from the world. Baldwin, for his part, in addition to being the only one of the four acting brothers with real talent, will be remembered for his performances in countless movies and television series.
Brad Pitt and Herman Rorschach
Pitt and Rorschach would have nothing in common in real life, except a striking resemblance - at least -. For those who do not watch movies, it should be clarified that Pitt is one of the most respected actors in Hollywood and for those who are far from psychology, it should be clarified that Rorschach was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst famous for having created the test that takes his name, of course.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Judy Zipper
Many say that DiCaprio's charm is due as much to his talent as to the feminine features of his face. And perhaps there is some truth in all this, since a few years ago a clone appeared on the internet, but a woman: Judy Zipper. Little is known about this girl, although it was her granddaughter who was in charge of making her famous when she found her portrait in a yearbook from the sixties.
Jason Segel and Lee J. Cobb
Contemporary comic actor Segel is recognized for the How I met your mother series, among others, and various films. While Cobb was a prolific actor who worked for four decades in the Hollywood mainstream.
Johnny Depp and Arthur Schopenhauer
Johnny Depp needs no introduction. From Tim Burton's fetish actor to megastar thanks to Pirates of the Caribbean, his acting skills made him an icon on the big screen. On the other side, is the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer - author of the classic The world as will and representation - who thanks to his work marked the thought of Western idealism and deep pessimism.
John Travolta and John Travolta?
Another of the cases that managed to reach media around the world. A photo collector from Ontario, Canada, put a 160-year-old daguerreotype on sale for $ 50,000, which would prove that the Grease actor is: a) a vampire, b) immortal or c) had a reincarnation.
