10 Celebs and Their Stunt Doubles That Look So Similar, They’re Almost Twins
It surely requires a lot of work for actors to make all their movements flawless and emotions genuine, so viewers can enjoy the final product. But not everything can be done by the actors themselves during the filming process. Some things are too dangerous and require special skills. In this case stunt doubles come to the rescue! These gorgeous people not only have similar faces to our favorite actors, but also put in a lot of effort to maintain the same body.
Bright Side found 10 photos of actors posing with their stunt doubles and it’s actually hard to tell them apart!

Margot Robbie is known for her “wild” female characters, and her stunt double Ingrid Kleinig manages to keep up with her just as well. Gorgeous Ingrid looks just like Margot herself. She worked as Margot’s stunt double on Suicide Squad and The Legend of Tarzan. Ingrid was also a stunt double in Kong: Skull Island, Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Hobbit, and American Horror Story.
2. Chris Hemsworth and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor)
It isn’t easy to look like Chris Hemsworth, but his amazing stunt double Bobby Holland Hanton puts colossal work into maintaining the same body as the actor. “Chris is already huge.
