Of course, they're not the first famous people to look like each other.

But it's an excellent opportunity to look at some other "identical" pairings.

Of course having a doppelganger isn't only limited to celebrities and there have been times when "ordinary" people have crossed paths with their match.

Jack McClelland met his doppelganger while at a boat party in Ibiza and posted the picture of the two of them on Twitter.

"Couldn't believe my eyes mate," Jack tweeted.

"The whole plane looked at us and laughed. And that's when I took the selfie."
