These two actors may look alike on the surface but when it comes to the details of their lives, they couldn’t be more different. So lets start with their similarities: teeth, lips, noses, shape of their eyes and even their manly eyebrows if you squint a little, and… that’s about it.
Their differences? Where do I begin! They are from two different parts of the world, Crowe is 15 years older then McKenzie, Crowe has made at least 12 successful films, while McKenzie has been in a few known Television series.
Russell Crowe has dated a few very famous ladies and is now married. Ben McKenzie on the other hand has dated one of the hottest young actresses but that’s about it. Guess he just doesn’t have as much game as good ole Crowe. That’s ok, it probably comes with age.
As for right now, Russell just completed a movie called The Next Three Days with Elizabeth Banks, Lian Neeson and Olivia Wilde, while Benjamin is starring in an NBC police drama called Southland. The show actually was canceled after it’s first season, bought by TNT who ordered 7 new episodes and then picked up again for another 10 episodes which will air in January 2011.

| Age | 46 | 31 |

Kate Beckinsale and Rhona Mitra not only look alike, they are actually pretty similar in their personal lives as well. Both Beckinsale and Mitra were born in England in the 70′s and are only three years apart from each other. In fact, Beckinsale was born in 1973 and is now 36 (wow, she looks much younger) and Mitra was born in 1976 and is now 33. Both actresses are the same height, have the same hair color and length, same eye color and of course same bone strucure.
Beckinsale and Mitra also followed the same film path for the most part and those paths have crossed for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Rhona Mitra played Sonja, the daughter of vampire ruler Viktor who executed her when she fell in love and was impregnated by a Lycan. Kate Beckinsale played a young girl who was “saved” by Viktor after he slaughtered her family and turned her into a vampire because she reminded him so much of his daughter Sonja.
Mitra might not have been as famous as Beckinsale in past years but she is definitely doing her part to catch up by guest starring in numerous TV shows like Party of Five, The Practice, Boston Legal, Nip/Tuck, Stargate Universe and the newest ABC vampire series, The Gates. Speaking of vampires, both Mitra and Beckinsale have played vampires but only Beckinsale played a vampire hunter in Van Helsing. I love love love both of them and hopefully we’ll get to see these two beautiful ladies in a movie together again.

These two leading ladies may look the same, but underneath it all, they are like water and oil. First lets start with the similarities: Newton and Saldana are both in their 30′s, both over 5 feet, both born in the 70′s, both look African-American but in reality, they are both far from it.
Thandie was born Thandiwe Adjewa Newton in London, to a Zimbabwean Shona Princess and health care worker and an English laboratory technician and artist. Zoe on the other hand, was born Zoe Yadira Zaldana Nazario in New Jersey (Of all places) to a Dominican father and a Puerto Rican mother.
Even though Thandie is 6 years older than Zoe and started acting almost 10 years before her, their movie careers are very similar. Newton did 26 movies and Saldana did 23 movies and 3 TV shows, that’s a good catch up considering Newton had a 10 year start.
On the personal level, they are both in long-term relationship but have no kids. You’d think Thandie will start popping them out soon, after all she has been married for 13 years and will be hitting 40 in a few years.
Zoe still have some time though, with movies like Avatar, Star Trek and Death at a Funeral coming out soon, this young actress will be around for a while.
| Name | Thandie Newton | Zoe Saldana |
| Age | 37 | 31 |
| Height | 5' 3" | 5' 7" |
| Date of Birth | November 6, 1972 | June 19, 1978 |
| Descent | Zimbabwean / British | Dominican / Puerto Rican |
| Filmography | Interview with the Vampire, Mission: Impossible II, The Chronicles of Riddick, Crash, The Pursuit of Happiness, RocknRolla, W, 2012 | Center Stage, Drumline, Crossroads, Pirates of the Caribbean:The Curse of the Black Pearl, The Terminal, Vantage Point, Star Trek, Avatar, Death at a Funeral |

| Current Love Interest | Married English TV writer and director Ol Parker in 1997 | Has been dating Actor Keith Britton since 2005 |

It has always been pretty amazing to me how two people that were born years apart, in different parts of the globe to different nationalities, can look so much alike.
This time I would like to point out two young ladies from different areas of the entertainment business. America Ferrera is an actress, while Jordin Sparks is a singer. I know they look like identical twins, or at least sisters, but they are actually very different. America is five years older than Jordin but Jordin is much much taller (Pretty much taller than most women actually).
America is known for playing an ugly chick who works at a fashion magazine and Jordin is known for calling 95% of the female population sluts. I know what you’re thinking… “Oh know she didn’t”… That’s right, oh yes she did. During the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, Jordin responded to Russell Brand’s jokes about the Jonas brothers wearing purity rings, by saying the following: “I just have one thing to say about promise rings. It’s not bad to wear a promise ring, because not everybody – guy or girl – wants to be a slut”. Nice going Jordin Sparks, you’re a virgin and an idiot.
| Name | America Ferrera | Jordin Sparks |
| Age | 25 | 20 |
| Height | 5' 1" | 6' |
| Date of Birth | April 18, 1984 | December 22, 1989 |
| Descent | Honduran | Caucasian / African-American |
| Filmography | The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (1&2), Lords of Dogtown, Tinkerbell, How To Train Your Dragon, Our Family Wedding, Mostly known for TV series Ugly Betty | Known as the winner of season 6 of American Idol |
| Previous Boy-Toys | Non that we know of | Had a brief encounter with David Archuleta |
| Current Love Interest | Has been dating producer Ryan piers Williams since 2006 | Has been dating singer Steph Jones since 2008 |
| Why I Love Her? | Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants | I'm actually not a fan ever since she said that anyone who doesn't wear a purity ring is a slut |
| Fun fact | Insurance company Lloyd's of London has insured America's smile for $10 million Euro | Her father is former NFL Cornerback Phillippi Sparks, who played eight seasons for the New York Giants and one season for the Dallas Cowboys before retiring in 2000 |

I know… I know… everyone already caught on to the story, but I just couldn’t do a celebrity lookalikes section and not include these two Siamese twins. Now let’s go over the facts, The girls are both in their 20′s, same height, same color eyes, same haircut, same style, both live in L.A., both are singers /songwriters…ugh I’m out of breath. It’s a good thing that Katy Perry is not actresses, cause then we would have a serious problem on our hands.
Fun Fact – Katy Perry’s real name is Katy Hudson… Zooey Deschanel starred in Almost Famous with Kate Hudson.
Also, both Katy and Zooey dated lead singers in Rock / Alternative bands in 2008. While Zooey married her Death Cab For Cutie rocker, Ben Gibbard, in September of 2009. Katy Perry broke up with Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes, and started dating UK comedian Russell Brand, IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009. Creepy ha…?
This quirky twosome definitely has more than just looks in common. Both girls are totally into their own off the wall style. Zooey Deschanel loves old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothing…. Katy Perry’s style is bright in color and reminiscent of different decades Even her stylist said that her style is “very colorful and vintage”. Nough said.
| Name | Katy Perry | Zooey Deschanel |

Ok, so at first I thought that Isla Fisher did both Wedding Crashers and Enchanted. Little did I know, that there are two pretty red heads taking Hollywood by storm at the same damn time. Though they look about 90% alike, they are actually two completely different ladies.
First, lets look at the facts. Even though they were born on completely opposite sides of the world, they are both red heads, they are in their 30′s, both engaged, have one child (Kind of) and they both like strapless green dresses. But who can blame them, red heads do look good in green.
On the other hand hand, Amy Adams seems to to take more serious roles while Isla Fisher is more of a comedy kinda girl. Wedding Crashers… common, it was priceless. Even though Amy is always one step ahead of Isla in terms of age and height, Isla did have her baby first while Amy is still expecting.
Looks like Isla took a little break from acting after Confessions of a Shopaholic to take care of her two year old daughter and even though Amy is about to pop in a couple of months, she has a romantic comedy coming out called a Leap Year.
| Name | Isla Fisher | Amy Adams |
| Age | 33 | 35 |
| Height | 5'3" | 5'5" |
| Date of Birth | February 3, 1976 | August 20, 1974 |
| Residence | London / Los Angeles | Los Angeles |
| Descent | Scottish / Australian | Italian |
| Filmography | Oliver Twist, Scooby-Doo, The Wannbes, I <3 Huckabees, Wedding Crashers, London, Wedding Daze, Hot Rod, Definitely Maybe, Horton Hears a Who, Confessions of a Shopaholic | Cruel Intentions 2, Catch Me If You Can, The Wedding date, Junebug, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, The Ex, Underdog, Enchanted, Charlie Wilson War, Doubt, Sunshine Cleaning, Night at The Museum 2, Julie & Julia, Leap year |
| Previous Boy-Toys | Darren day, Ali G | Looks like her Fiance is her one and only |
| Current Love Interest | Lives with Fiance Sacha Baron Cohen and their 2 year old daughter Olive | Is engaged to boyfriend of 7 years, Darren Le Gallo. They are also expecting their first child. |
| Why I Love Her? | For Wedding Crashers | For Enchanted |
| Fun fact | When she was younger she loved Elvis Presley and told every one she is going to marry him (Not realizing that he was already dead) | She worked at Hooters until she turned 18 when they started making her wear the skimpy outfits |
