I did a double take when a Facebook friend posted a photo

He looks a lot like my paternal grandfather.

Time machine involved, clearly.

Wow! Thats almost spooky. What a huge resemblance.

 

[CallMeKate]

Wowzers, you're not kidding! You sure your friend isn't a long-lost cousin?!

I always wonder how that happens (that people unrelated can look so much alike). They could've been twins for sure. They say everyone has a doppleganger...I've seen mine. I've also seen some remarkable celebrity ones.

Really? Love to hear about it if you don't mind. (I don't know if I'd like it or not to see mine, lol.)

I saw my doppelganger when I was in my mid-20's .. at the Native People's pavilion. We just stared at one another.

I know I told this story here before about a year ago, but it fits here, so I'll repeat. Someone came to the door years ago and just stood in the doorway staring when I invited her in. She finally found her voice and asked how many times people thought I was.... and she named an actress on a soap opera. I didn't watch soaps and didn't recognize the name, so I just smiled. Some time later I caught that actress while looking through channels and did a double take myself. Yep, I would have thought it was me, too.

Not a doppelgänger but when I was in my 20’s, many folks thought I looked a lot like Natalie Wood.

Now, depending on the day, I just look like both of my grandmothers

 

[debodun]

People say I look like my maternal grandmother.

 

[Remy]

You do look like your grandmother.

The picture of your FB friend and grandfather are very, very similar. The FB friend seems to weigh a bit more and if he didn't, I think their resemblance would be even greater.

I saw a picture of an event Madonna was at. It may have been a rally of some sort...don't remember, but she was standing at a podium. Standing next to her was a woman who looked just like me when I'm not smiling. If I didn't know I had never been anywhere near Madonna, I would have sworn it was me! She had on a hat that looked similar to the way I tie my scarves sometimes. She wore glasses and was about the same complexion as me.
