    Has anybody come across this video which shows an Irish girl named Niamh who has meet her real life doppelganger?



    The girls aren't an exact match - one of the girls is taller - but when they get their hairstyles and make up done they look very hard to tell apart.

    Also Canadian photographer Francois Brunelle has brought together complete strangers who have an uncanny resemblance:

    It would be fun if people would post pictures of people they look like or celebrities who look alike etc. :)

    Their bone structure is quite different IMO. There are definite similarities between them, but their heads differ in width significantly.

    I get it an all, but most of those pictures just seem, Idk, EXTREMELY uncomfortable.

    You wouldn't be able to tell them apart immediately you would have to look closely wouldn't you?

    They're similar from the nose down but other than that completely different.
    Block off the top, then bottom of their faces and you'll see it

    On the 30th March 2015 three friends began a "unique challenge" that they copied off another very similar challenge they saw on the internet somewhere. Their aim was to explore the wonderfully diverse world of getting free publicity to boost careers.

    You must be blind as a bat. Same eye brows, eyes, nose, lips, teeth and cheeks and chin.

    No, one of them has a wider head. I'd tell them apart straight away.

    I hope I never end up in lining out in front of a mirrored window with you on the other side pointing out a culprit.

    I got on a bus one morning and took a seat beside another bloke.

    He was my absolute double, same hairstyle, same weight and build, he looked exactly like me, right down to the very prominent dimple in my left cheek.

    I couldn't believe it. I was beside myself tbh.
