Down to a Tee: 7 Actors Who Looked Exactly like the People they Portrayed

The resemblance is uncanny.

Una Kavanagh

There’s nothing more upsetting than seeing your icon and personal heroes being portrayed by terrible actors who haven’t put an effort into their work.

But there are some actors who really take to the role and have their looks and mannerisms perfected to the extreme.

Here are seven actors who look suspiciously like the people they played:

1) Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin

Julianne Moore was absolutely brilliant as Sarah Palin in the movie Game Change and of course Tina Fey also does a great impression of her too! 

2) Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln

Daniel Day-Lewis has always been known for his brilliant method acting and he really went to great lengths for his Lincoln role. If you haven’t seen this movie already it’s a must watch!

3) Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs

Surely they’re related somehow? Ashton Kutcher took the role of the legendary Apple icon Steve Jobs for the 2013 movie Jobs – uncanny!

4) Ben Kingsley as Ghandhi

Ben Kingsley is absolutely superb as Ghandhi in the 1982 biographical film on the Indian activist.

5) James Franco as James Dean

James Franco really captures the moody look of James Dean perfectly.

6) Stephen Fry as Oscar Wilde

We’re pretty sure that Stephen Fry is Oscar Wilde reincarnated!

7) Robert Downey Jr as Charlie Chaplin

Spot on! Robert Downey Jr makes an excellent Charlie Chaplin.
