Can you tell these uncanny celebrity doppelgangers apart?

Brian, 56, said: “I’ll be walking along and people go: ‘I love you in The Chase’.

“It used to be the other way round. But obviously I’m much ­better looking than Brad!”

Here, we round up the famous members of the doppel gang.

Katy... or Zooey?

Katy Perry, left, and Zooey Deschanel, right, are a pair of California Gurls whose bright blue eyes and similar ­hairstyles have led to them being mistaken for each other.

New Girl actress Zooey, 37, said of her resemblance to Katy, 32: “It’s a little bit annoying, to be totally blunt.

I’m happy that she’s ­famous enough now that she’s not going out and being mistaken for me.”

Isla... or Amy?

Actors Isla Fisher, left, and Amy Adams, right, are so alike that Isla once superimposed her doppelganger on to her family Christmas card.

The former Home And Away star, 41, laughed: “No one noticed.”

Meanwhile, Amy, 43, said: “I get Isla Fisher all the time. When I’m with Isla, we both look at one another and say, ‘I get it, but I don’t get it.’ ”

Jessica... or Bryce?

Daniel... or Elijah?

Movie fans still comment on the resemblance between Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, 28, left, and Elijah Wood right – but it seems the Lord Of The Rings actor has had enough.

Elijah, 36, explained the mix-up started years ago when both of their films were in cinemas at the same time, adding: “We get it – the joke is over.”

Logan... or Tom?

Comparing Dunkirk’s Tom Hardy, 39, left, to Logan Marshall-Green, right, is a bit of a web herring as far as the Spider-Man Homecoming actor is concerned.

Logan, 40, said: “I’d be honoured to be in the same ­sentence as Tom Hardy. I’ve been a twin since the day I was born – fraternal, but we look a lot alike – so I’ve already been mixed up with another man.”

Niall... or Allen?

There may only be One Direction, but there are two Niall Horans out there.

The 23-year-old singer, right, bears a striking similarity to Downton Abbey actor Allen Leech, 36, left. “He’s my son,” Leech joked.

“I had him really young. I had the choice to give him to the circus or a boy band. I chose a boy band. He’s done much better there because his backflips are terrible.”

Natalie... or Keira?

Talk about an Attack Of The Clones – Keira Knightley, right, often gets mixed up with Star Wars beauty Natalie Portman, left.

Keira even played Queen Amidala's decoy, played by Natalie, in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

The Pirates Of The Caribbean star revealed she is often “chased through airports” by photographers who believe they are in hot pursuit of Natalie, 35.

Keira, 32, said: “I feel quite sorry for her.

“She must get chased a lot because it’s happened, like, five times where someone’s been like, ‘Natalie! Natalie! Natalie!’ And I’ll sign and take a pic as Natalie.”
