The Internet, as a huge array of information, allows you to come up with very unusual entertainment, almost impossible in the past. So, for example, lately netizens have been enthusiastically looking for similarities between famous actors of our time and popular personalities of past centuries. Surprisingly, the sheer number of "hits" suggests that matches happen more often than we think.

Albert Einstein and Shia LaBeouf

American actor and artist Shia LaBeouf is widely recognized as a "Rising Star" - it was in this category that he was awarded the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. His unusual outward resemblance to the famous scientist can be explained by his Jewish roots, but this is where the coincidences end: young Einstein, as a child, read the works of Kant and Euclid, experienced states of deep religiosity, and Shia grew up in the family of a circus clown and a dancer who performed in nightclubs. However, if Hollywood became interested in the adaptation of the biography of the great scientist and thinker, an actor for the role of a young genius, one might say, has already been found.

Brad Pitt and Herman Rorschach

The name of the Swiss psychiatrist and psychologist is widely known mainly from the name of the famous test - the very "Rorschach Spots" in which everyone sees something different. It is interesting that his beautiful wife, judging by the surviving photographs of the early 20th century, also has some resemblance to the ex-wife of Brad Pitt. Olga Shtempelin was also a colleague of her husband (a psychiatrist), and the couple even tried to find work in Russia at one time. The next two photographs, taken exactly one hundred years apart, prove that there are a lot of coincidences in the world.

Jennifer Lawrence and Zubaida Tarwat

The Egyptian actress, who starred in melodramas and musicals, did not receive such fame at one time as the Hollywood diva Jennifer Lawrence. Zubaida Tarvat passed away in 2016, so she could watch with amazement how the star of her “twin” flared up. I must say that two women, between whom there is a difference of five decades, are similar not only in stage makeup, but also in ordinary photographs.

Tommy Lee Jones and Andrew Johnson

American actor, film director, screenwriter and producer Tommy Lee Jones turned out to be a real copy of the 17th President of the United States. This, in fact, did not surprise the Internet community much, because everyone knows that in one of the Men in Black series, agents easily moved in time.

Peter Dinklage and Don Sebastian de Morra

Looking at the picture of Diego Velazquez, I would like to recall the words that Conan Doyle put into the mouth of his most observant and intelligent hero:. Indeed, it appears that Peter Dinklage served at the court of King Philip IV of Spain almost 400 years before Game of Thrones. The portrait of the court dwarf Don Sebastian del Morra by Velazquez is proof of this.

Orlando Bloom and Nicolae Grigorescu

Exactly the same thoughts about the transmigration of souls arise when studying the photograph of the famous Romanian artist Nicolae Grigorescu. Hollywood star Orlando Bloom looks from the 1860 photograph.

Lenin and Krupskaya in the Hollywood version

But Russian filmmakers should, while shooting historical films, take a closer look at a couple of wonderful American actors who could play the roles of Nadezhda Konstantinovna Krupskaya and Vladimir Ilyich Lenin in their youth with almost no makeup.

Such amusing compilations allow you to believe in miracles, as well as the following 20 vivid photos, which capture amazing coincidences
