Let's check out some animals that look like celebrities!
Let's bring the stars back down to earth, exploring the moments where Hollywood and the animal kingdom overlap, by taking a look at a pack of doggy doppelgangers, feline fraudsters and ferocious furry figures, that look just like celebrities!
Snoop Dog
If you name yourself after an animal, people are bound to draw comparisons. Unfortunately for Snoop Dogg, his relation to man’s best frizzle goes beyond his rap name. This little Dachshund might not be a beagle, but it’s definitely snoopy, the braids and chain on its Halloween costume making it look exactly like the Californian rapper.
Taylor Lautner
From a wiener-dog to a big bad wolf, Hollywood heartthrob Taylor Lautner used to be famous for long hair, big muscles and spontaneously exploding out of his pants every time he got angry. Turning into a wolf fit Lautner’s image pretty well, but it turns out, a different, less intimidating animal may have been more suitable.
This alpaca is called Calendar Girl, and while she might not seem like heartthrob material, this duo of dreamboats has very similar smoldering gazes, and I’ve heard that the alpaca has a set of washboard abs underneath all that fur.
Ed Sheeran
Pop star Ed Sheeran is famous for hit songs and ginger hair, so whenever a carrot-topped animal comes along, people on the internet are bound to draw comparisons. This kitten is the hissing image of the singer, from the eyes to the ginger fringe, and you can just imagine his little paws, strumming on a Fender Cat-ocaster.
Madonna
From the top of the pops now to the bottom of a swamp, netizens have pointed out how closely superstar Madonna resembles one bull frog. This amphibian may swap rhythm for ribbits, but it certainly has a lot of stage presence, and the pair’s leggy poses are nearly identical.
Samuel L Jackson
Let’s head out of the swamp and clean ourselves off. There’s nothing sadder than a dog in a bath, and when this poor pooch was placed inside the tub, he pulled an Oscar-worthy frown, perfectly mimicking the face of award-winning actor Samuel L Jackson.
John Travolta
Let’s stick to the silver screen, taking a look at another leading man. In 2015, South Australia’s dog rescue uploaded a picture of an American Bulldog with the dazzling blue eyes of a movie star, and the distinctive face of John Travolta.
The resemblance between Boof the Bulldog and John the human was uncanny, and the dog’s headshot went viral within a few hours. According to SA Dog Rescue, this Doggy Zuko’s unique appearance meant that he was adopted by a loving family almost immediately. Either that, or he was taken in by L. Ron Puppert and the church of Scien-dog-ogy, just like the real Travolta.Bruce Willis
Among the Hollywood Hills, Bruce Willis is a macho action-hero who’s known for crawling through vents on Christmas, riding choppers, and delivering M Night Shyamalan’s most famous twist ‘I see dog people.’ Turns out, he was a dog the whole time!
Quentin Tarantino
With Samuel L Barkson, Boof Travolta, and Bull Willis, we have most of the cast for an all-dogs Pulp Fiction remake. Somebody get Frogtin Tarantino on the line, Pup Fiction is gonna be a hit.
Bob Ross
It’s widely accepted that American painter Bob Ross is one of the most wholesome celebrities of all time, so it makes sense that his animal doppelganger would be man’s best friend.
Meet @PoochOfNYC, a maltese-poodle mix who’s famous for the themed photoshoots and cosplays that its owner uploads on Instagram. The maltipoo’s beard and afro combo is instantly familiar, and although it looks like he’d rather run through the woods than paint them, the pup looks right at home with a paint brush in his paw.Jonah Hill or Zach Galifianakis?
From one pup-person hybrid to another, images of this dog started to circulate online back in 2018. The dog’s round eyes and pink mouth make him look a lot like a human, and netizens reckon that he’s the spitting image of actors Jonah Hill and Zach Galifianakis.
Gene Simmons
In the topic of horror, KISS is an American rock band from the 70’s who were famous for their horror-themed performances, painting their faces, putting on sparkly outfits and sticking their unusually long tongues out while onstage.
When you think of KISS’ extravagant stage personas, a dairy farm isn’t the first thing that springs to mind, but in 2017, a rancher in Texas discovered the newest member of KISS’s fan club, a baby cow who was born with the band’s iconic face paint. The calf was called Genie, named after KISS’ lead singer Gene Simmons, and the cow is clearly a natural-born performer, sticking his tongue out for the photo. If you stuck Genie in a sparkly jumpsuit, he’d look right at home onstage, and maybe KISS’ next reunion could have a new member, Genie’s great on cowbell!Donald Trump
From the dairy farm to the oval office, the viral image below looks like Donald Trump’s hair has jumped off of his head, dropped to the ground and crawled its way to the Amazon rainforest.

Richard Branson
With his signature long, wavy hairdo, you might think that British billionaire Richard Branson would like to be compared to a powerful lion, or a majestic stallion riding across the plains. Unfortunately, though, he looks a lot more like this little guy.
This game sticking with the trend of this roller coaster of a football weekend. Here's a picture of a dog that looks like Richard Branson.
Clint Eastwood
Dogs are arguably the happiest creatures on earth, so for a billionaire dog, life must be one big walk in the park. Unfortunately, for some pups, the world isn’t all about squeaky toys and chasing tails.
When the poop-bag hits the fan, you’ll want the cold-blooded canines below by your side, because the internet reckons that they look just like veteran Hollywood tough-guy, Clint Eastwood.Tweet not found

Danny DeVito
Actor Danny DeVito’s career has been littered with references to birds. His breakout role was as Martini in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,’ he played comic-book villain The Penguin in ‘Batman Returns,’ and he plays the egg-obsessed father of a giant bird in sit-com ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.’
Finally, this long-running theme has an explanation. Ornithologists would say that this is a Royal Tern, a small coastal bird that can be found across the Americas. However, DeVito’s fans know better, and this is clearly the man himself, the bird’s distinctive hairline giving its identity away immediately.Adam Driver
Meet Corey, an oriental shorthair tabby who was rescued by the Monmouth County animal shelter in New Jersey. Corey’s probably a sweet cat, but unfortunately, some people reckon he looks more like a Sith Lord, comparing the kitty’s ears and nose to Kylo Ren actor Adam Driver. There is an undeniable resemblance; the force is strong with this one.
JK I clicked and omg Adam Driver really does look like that cat!! wowowow
Wilford Brimley
From sci-fi villains to a real-life hero, Wilford Brimley was an American actor, best known for ‘The Thing,’ ‘Quaker Oats’ commercials, and his longstanding battle with diabetes. Brimley worked on several commercials with the American Diabetes Foundation, devoting his life to educating the public about diabetes.
Gordom Ramsay
Gordom Ramsay likes to put on a tough exterior, but after taking one quick look at this photo, it’s clear to see that he’s really just a big puppy dog. This breed of dog is called a shar-pei, and the deep wrinkles on the dog’s face make it look uncannily like the chef.
Tilda Swinton
From wrinkles to raw talent now, actress Tilda Swinton is a very serious performer. She’s won every award under the sun, and she loves to play the villain. Despite this, back in 2021, twitter user Joqauim Campa pointed out that Tilda shares a striking resemblance to a decidedly less serious creature: this tiny little chihuahua.
Jack Black
Jack Black is an actor who takes himself a bit less seriously than Tilda. Jack’s played a few animals over the course of his career, providing the voices for a shark, a saber-tooth tiger, and most famously, a Kung-Fu Panda. Unfortunately, the actor never played the animal that he most closely resembles: the cat below.
Steven Tyler
Steven Tyler’s long streaky hair makes him easily recognizable, but for one Twitter user, her dog’s long streaky ears provide the exact same effect. Tyler has a reputation as a wild man, but it turns out, the rockstar is just a domesticated puppy.
According to the dog’s owner, ever since a friend pointed out how closely her pup resembles the singer, she hasn’t been able to look at her pooch in the same way.George Clinton
George Clinton is an American musician in the Rock N’ Roll hall of fame, best known for pioneering funk music, working with Kendrick Lamar, and his insane multi-colored hairdo. The colorful caterpillar below is the caterpillar form of the saturniidae moth and looks just like Clinton.
David Duchovny
Sticking with weirdness, actor David Duchovny is best-known for playing FBI agent Fox Mulder in 90’s hit show ‘The X Files.’ Duchovny’s character solved a new sci-fi mystery every week, but it turns out, Mulder is more of a curious George than a wily fox, because Duchovny looks strikingly like a Rhesus monkey.
Jamie Hyneman
If it’s truth we want, there’s no one better to separate the facts from fiction than Jamie Hyneman. This bushy-faced man is best known as one of the hosts of MythBusters, the TV show that aimed to use scientific practice to debunk common myths.
MythBusters ran for 14 years on the Discovery channel, but there was one myth that the team were never quite able to crack: whether Jamie Hyneman is actually a Walrus.Ron Perlman
Aside from debunking myths, animal celebrity lookalikes can also help the world in another way: by ending the long-standing, inter-species war and finally bringing dogs and cats together. The solution to this conflict? Ron Perlman’s face.
Perlman may be known for playing a half-demon in Hellboy, but the actor actually looks exactly like certain pets.
Steve Buscemi
Perlman isn’t the only actor who’s been likened to both cats and dogs. The legendary Steve Buscemi is the star of Reservoir Dogs, the original Fargo movie, and HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. But this animal look alike is more interested in board-walkies.
A Pekingese-poodle mix called Chuchi was rescued by the Faithful Friends Animal Shelter in Delaware, and many online viewers insist his slightly crooked stare resembles Buscemi’s.This cat looks more like Steve Buscemi than Steve Buscemi looks like Steve Buscemi. 😂
Rowan Atkinson
From a strange animal to a very strange human, British comic legend Rowan Atkinson’s character Mr. Bean isn’t exactly known for being wise. Even so, online commenters insist the dim-witted character’s wide eyes, raised eyebrows and pointy ears still make him look remarkably like an owl.
Mr bean
Peyton Manning
Star Quarterback Peyton Manning only ever played for horse-themed teams, throwing the pigskin for the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos. However, the retired football player is more of a puppy than a pony, channeling this frustrated dachshund dog throughout his career.
Interception, Peyton Manning. #ruhroh
Michael Cera
Unlike Peyton Manning, actor Michael Cera isn’t exactly known for his athletic prowess. However, becoming a famous actor takes talent, dedication and a lot of hard work, so it’s fair to say that the star probably isn’t lazy.
Unfortunately for Cera, that doesn’t stop him from looking exactly like the world’s laziest animal, the sloth.this video of michael cera turning into a sloth is what keeps me up at night.
William H Macy
William H Macy is an Emmy award-winning actor, known for his role alongside the aforementioned Steve Buscemi in Fargo, and playing Frank Gallagher in the hit TV show Shameless.
A little-known fact about the actor is that the ‘H’ in his middle name actually stands for Hound. Okay, I made that up; it actually stands for ‘Hall’. But you can’t deny that the star looks exactly like this funny looking dog.Today is #LookAlikeDay so here's a picture of William H. Macy and his dogpelgänger
Gilbert Gottfried
Calling somebody’s pet funny looking isn’t necessarily nice, but this redditor’s dog looks absolutely hilarious, largely due to its resemblance to famous comedian Gilbert Gottfried. The chihuahua looks just like the funny man, right down to its little teeth.
Now that the real Gottfried has sadly left this mortal coil, we have even more reason to cherish this little pooch.Sofia Vergara
No celebrity loves a laugh in a more epic manner than actress Sofia Vergara, which leaves her with a certain similarity to an unexpected animal.
Vladmir Putin
Moving to Moscow now, Vladmir Putin is known for ruthlessly ruling Russia and topless horse-riding. Putin isn’t exactly known as a good-boy, so it’s surprising that his body-double is man’s best friend, the goodest of boys, a dog.
Every time I think of Vladimir Putin I picture his dog look-alike:
Vladimir Lenin
Let’s keep things along the lines of cuddly communism now, with this little cat. He appears to want to overthrow the upper classes and seize the means of paw-duction, because he looks just like Russian communist leader Vladimir Lenin.
Not to be confused with Lenin Cat
Cher
Popstar Cher is a prolific wig-wearer, and has stated in interviews that all of her wigs and outfits represent different versions of herself. And, as it turns out, one of the many versions of Cher is an Afghan hound.
If Cher reincarnated as dog she would likely return as this one if you ask me. Do you know what breed this is?
