Even if you leave the jokes on the topic “is this the wife of Mota, Djigan or Timati’s girlfriend?”, Which, if anything, has something in common, then the love of cosmetic procedures or one plastic surgeon, then there are more than enough celebrities who are somewhat similar to each other. Fans have long noticed that some celebrities look very much like each other, although they are not relatives. Without pretending to be objective, we offer several pairs that have something in common. Similar?

Efim Shifrin and Nikolay Tsiskaridze

A high forehead, a large nose, a set of eyes, a smile and even a spread of eyebrows, combined with a shock of unruly hair - the comedian and the choreographer have many similar features, although if you look closely, it becomes obvious that they are not only representatives of different nationalities, but generally very different people with their own temperaments. Nevertheless, the sphere of activity leaves an imprint on a person's appearance. According to Nikolai, it is clear that he is a representative of bohemia, he has more sophisticated facial features, and Efim is not only an artist, but also a successful businessman.

Tsiskaridze was born in Tbilisi, and Shifrin in the Magadan region, despite the fact that both of them gave their lives to serving the stage, the men do not even know, although they, of course, have heard that they have a certain similarity between them, although this is more likely only oriental type of appearance.

Anna Sedokova and Anna Pletneva

The namesake, both brown-haired, brunette with expressive eyes, eyes and curvaceous forms, of short stature. They sing about love. It is no wonder that Google, on their names, issues a ready request "is this the same singer?" No, the girls are different, but they certainly have in common.

Anna Pletneva is a former soloist of the Vintage group, in 2009 she was recognized as the sexiest girl in Russia according to the Maxim magazine, and Sedakova was repeatedly included in the same list. Sedakova is a former member of the group "VIA Gra", and she sang in the golden composition, along with Brezhneva and Granovskaya. Pletneva was born in Moscow, and Sedakova in Kiev, both of them are mothers with many children - they have three children each.

The girls are familiar, they periodically troll each other on Instagram. So, on March 8, Pletneva parodied a photo of Sedakova, where she lies in bed (of course, in a tempting pose, this is Sedakova!), And next to them are gifts - a cake, flowers, champagne. Pletneva repeated the pose and even the color of the bedclothes, but instead of the typical "March 8" offerings, she put a mop, a bucket and a flower in a pot. By this she wanted to emphasize that she prefers extremely practical gifts, and not offend Sedakova. Although, of course, there is a certain note of rivalry between the girls.

Natasha Koroleva and Natalia Medvedeva

And again, two namesakes, which have common facial features. A similar oval of the face, and such a characteristic, special, light eyes with dark hair, a pointed nose and expressive lips - Natasha actually resemble one another. And this despite the fact that between them, in general, 12 years of difference.

The Queen began her stellar career as a teenager and she is one of those 90s stars who managed to break through and fall in love without Instagram, the Internet and producers. She is not only a successful singer with her own style of performance, but also an actress, who has several successful roles.

Natalya Medvedeva, despite the fact that she is also a creative person, works in the comedy genre and is a former participant in Comedy Wumen. She does not adhere to the chosen image and always appears in a variety of situations. By the way, she also starred in films.

The queen was born in Kiev, and Medvedev in the Moscow region, the girls themselves do not mind joking about their similarities. They not only know each other, but even recorded a joint song and shot a video for La Bomba, in which you can definitely get confused which one is from Natasha Korolev and which is from Medvedev. However, there was a calculation for that.

Alena Sviridova and Julia Rutberg

Slender tall blondes look like sisters, moreover, the singer and actress, even in clothes, prefer the same style, for many years they remain faithful to the light shade of hair, which only emphasizes the similarity.

Alena and Julia, moreover, are practically the same age and have a similar type of figure, but Alena was born in Kerch, and Julia in Moscow. Their smile adds to their similarity, and both have a very sincere and disposed smile. The girls have a very intelligent sophisticated appearance, which becomes even more elegant with age, this cannot but catch the eye.

Kirill Grebenshchikov and Maxim Matveev

If all happy families are similar to each other, then Russian beauties also have similar facial features. Kirill Grebenshchikov and Maxim Matveev are both successful actors who can easily be confused. Dark blond thick hair, high cheekbones, a stern and at the same time languid look, high growth and average build make them not just people of the same build, age and nationality. Although Cyril is 10 years older than his colleague, this is almost imperceptible, apparently the secret is that this type of men is aging very beautifully and years only give a certain charisma.

Both of them work in similar roles, playing heroes-lovers, and positive ones, because this dreamy look of blue eyes and light unshaven, well, cannot belong to bad guys. They not only know each other, but also worked on the same set during the filming of the film “Anna Karenina. The Story of Vronsky”Maxim played the main role, and Cyril was the son of Anna Karenina.

Elena Isinbaeva and Elena Vaenga

And again, two talented girls with a similar type of appearance and both are called Elena. Perhaps this cannot be a coincidence. Isinbaeva and Vaenga are both tall, stately, dark-haired beauties with regular facial features, and even talented and successful. But that's not all, both of them have a strong-willed character and are used to achieving their goals.

Isinbayeva is a two-time Olympic champion, she has already completed her sports career, by the way, she has repeatedly admitted in interviews that she has always dreamed of singing. And perhaps, if it had not worked out with a sports career, she would have tried to conquer the already creative Olympus.

Vaenga actively writes songs, goes on tour around the country and always demonstrates strength of character and fortitude. Elena is often confused, especially when an athlete prefers feminine outfits. Once, when Isinbayeva put on a floor-length dress (Vaenga prefers such), the fans were convinced that in the photo Vaenga, and not Isinbayev at all, were so similar.

Kirill Pletnev and Maxim Averin

While both of them were young actors, no one paid attention to their similarities. But, as soon as Maxim became a little bald, and Cyril became more overweight and stopped acting in films, they were often confused.

Yes, the same type, hair color, skin color, facial contours. But most of all they are related by the look, the mischief that is read in it and the dimples on the cheeks, a sincere smile - apparently this is exactly what was the main thing in their images.

Kirill was born in Kharkov, Maxim - in Moscow, by age they are almost the same age, and in films they often get characters of the same plan.

Ivan Stebunov and Konstantin Khabensky

When Ivan Stebunov first appeared on the screen, he was immediately dubbed the young Khabensky. And the point is not only in the external similarity, which, of course, is. Ivan is very similar to Konstantin in voice, gestures and physique. Even some acting techniques are used the same as Khabensky. Although the latter is not at all surprising, because they studied with some teachers at the St. Petersburg Academy of Theater Arts.

The similarity of the actors was used in the film “Petr Leshchenko. Everything that happened …”where Ivan plays the young protagonist, and Konstantin plays the adult, so we can assume that their similarity is a fact officially recognized by the creative community.

The actors themselves take this moment positively and often joke about this topic, especially often they had to answer questions about kinship when Ivan just appeared on the stage. But these guesses were not confirmed - the guys are not relatives to each other.

Albina Dzhanabaeva and Ksenia Alferova

Albina and Ksenia are so similar that they can often be confused, especially if they appear in similar outfits at some social event. And given that they are women of about the same age, color type and are similar in body type, it is not surprising that outfits are often identical in color or cut.

In the West, this type of appearance is often called Russian. Light brown hair, skin with a cold undertone, light eyes and a pointed chin. But, perhaps, the main thing that unites the famous singer and actress of theater and cinema is an unusually sunny smile.

Anton Makarsky and Mark Bogatyrev

Anton and Mark are both handsome brunettes with regular facial features, expressive cheekbones and deep piercing eyes. This turned out to be enough for the fans not only to notice their similarities, but even sometimes confuse them. By the way, there is a 9-year difference between them, but this is not at all noticeable outwardly, they look like peers.

Moreover, in life and on the screen, they are completely different. Bogatyrev develops a theatrical career and rarely acts, but Makarsky prefers to work on the screen. He not only acts in films, but also appears in musicals, sings, dubs.

Actors are often asked if they are brothers. If Anton simply replies that their similarity is just a coincidence, then Mark eventually got tired of these questions, and he began to confirm that he and Makarsky were not just brothers, but twins.

Vladimir Yaglych and Viktor Khorinyak

Both actors are bright and actively building their careers in the domestic cinema. Yes, they play different roles and it cannot be said that they are actors of the same type, but the striking similarities cannot be overlooked.

Their age difference is significant - 7 years, but this, as usual, is not very noticeable. Considering that both of them are smiling and cheerful, they look younger than their years. Horinyak grew up and was born in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, studied in the cadet corps, hence his ideal posture and certain views on life. He studied at the Moscow Art Theater, combining his dream with the work of a security guard, and he is not one of those who give up easily.

If Victor's uncle is an actor of the Nizhny Novgorod theater, then Yaglych, like his whole family, is far from art and cinema. This did not prevent him from getting an education in Pike, starring in films and TV series, working as a TV presenter on many programs.

Vladimir Vdovichenkov and Dmitry Orlov

Vladimir and Dmitry are almost complete peers, they are similar to each other both in face and type of figure. True, Vladimir became recognizable a little earlier, and at first Dmitry was often mistaken for Vdovichenkov. But Orlov also became a popular actor, so now Vdovichenkov is mistaken for Orlov.

Yes, if you look at them live, know the images that they embody on the screens, then there are much more differences than similarities. However, it is still difficult to believe that they are not even relatives. The actors themselves treat the similarities with each other with irony, moreover, they often have to face each other on the set, and do not see anything wrong with being sometimes confused.

Vdovichenkov, however, from time to time strives to grow a beard. Maybe this is an identification mark, they say, Vdovichenkov with a beard, Orlov - without?

Tatiana Arntgolts and Polina Syrkina

Bright, pretty blondes with a Slavic type of appearance and natural beauty, both are popular actresses of Russian cinema. Their similarity was noticed by the creators of the film "Double Life", in which they played one heroine before and after plastic surgery. Tatiana became famous ten years earlier, despite the slight age difference between the actresses. Therefore, at first, Polina was often confused with Tatyana. It's funny, but it is Polina who is often mistaken for Tatyana Arntgolts' sister - Olga. They are just twins, and with Polina they are not relatives at all. Olga Arntgolts is also an actress, but with her twin sister Tatyana they are completely the same person, although the fans have learned to distinguish between them, but this does not prevent them from being confused with Syrkina.

The human brain is amazingly arranged, which sometimes notices the smallest details, and sometimes perceives the image as a whole and flatly refuses to understand who is who. And curiosity forces you to search the Internet, putting the film on pause in order to find out all the circumstances about an actor who seems to be similar, but seems to be the same one from another film. There are 7, 5 billion people in the world, and among them there are still a lot of similar perceptions of a positive or negative image.

By the way, those celebrities who started their careers in childhood are much less likely to be confused with someone. because their stages of growing up took place in front of thousands of spectators.
