There are known to be at least six look-alikes of every person in the world and we don't know if you have found your own but we have found the doppelgangers of as many as 12 celebrities... 26, to be precise (you'll know towards the end). So keep scrolling and prepare to be amazed at how even God can run out of new designs for faces.

Also, be sure to check out our second list of look-alike celebs here.

1. Kareena Kapoor and Paris Hilton

We begin from home. Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor's and hotel heiress-cum-TV personality-cum-philanthropist-cum-fashionista Paris Hilton's uncanny resemblance is too hard to ignore. Just look at their jawline!

2. Sarah Hyland and Mila Kunis

Modern Family star Sarah Hyland and Friends With Benefits actor Mila Kunis have the same big brown eyes, rich auburn hair and a sultry, dark skin tone. Do we even need to explain.

3. Ian Somerhalder and Rob Lowe

If the Vampire Diaries star Ian Somerhalder ever wanted someone to play his dad, or an older version of himself in a movie, Rob Lowe should be an undisputed choice.

4. Matthew Broderick and Jon Cryer

Ferris Bueller's Day Out star Matthew Broderick and Jon Cryer of Two and a Half Men have the same short height, adorable face with a perennial dorky expression.

5. Kate Middleton and Lauren Conrad

You know it's is a big deal if you look like a princess, Lauren. The Duchess of Cambridge is unmatched in her grace and charm, but Lauren is nothing short of fab herself.

6. Hilary Duff and Kat Dennings

Lizzie Mc Guire star Hilary Duff has found a dark-haired look-alike in Two Broke Girls' Kat Dennings. Look at them eyes... *swoon*.

7. Amal Alamuddin and Anne Hathaway

Now this is not news. Amal has been drawing comparisons with Anne Hathaway ever since she was revealed to the media as George Clooney's betrothed. Same dark hair and a million dollar smile.

8. Keira Knightley and Natalie Portman

Fun trivia: Do you know that Knightley once played body double for Portman in the Star Wars reboot?

9. Penelope Cruz and Paz Vega

Just look at them! It's incredible how two 'non-twins' can be so alike.

10. Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan

This is not even funny anymore. Some real 'brother from another mother' thing going on here. Are they sure they didn't come to India and were separated in a Kumbh mela? Just saying.

11. Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastain

If anything was letting you differentiate between the two, the red hair did the trick.

12. Zooey Deschanel, Emily Blunt, Taylor Schilling and Katy Perry

We have found four of them already, all they have to do now is find the other two.
