Some celebrities have such distinctive features that it’s hard not to notice when an animal looks remarkably similar to them. From matching expressions and hairstyles to uncanny face shapes and coloring, these celebrity and animal lookalikes make for some seriously funny comparisons. Here are 24 celebrities and their animal doppelgängers.
Snoop Dogg and a Greyhound
Snoop Dogg’s long face, narrow eyes, and famously relaxed expression have made greyhounds an almost suspiciously good match. The resemblance gets even stronger when both are photographed looking straight at the camera.
Steve Buscemi and a Dog
Steve Buscemi’s distinctive wide-set eyes and slightly droopy expression have inspired countless comparisons to dogs with the same permanently concerned look.
Samuel L. Jackson and a Poodle
Jackson’s intense stare and expressive eyebrows make certain poodles look like they’re about to deliver a very serious monologue.
Nicolas Cage and an Owl
The comparison works because of Cage’s large eyes and unusually expressive face. Put him next to an owl staring directly into the camera and the resemblance becomes weirdly convincing.
Danny DeVito and a Bulldog
DeVito’s compact build, round face, and unmistakable expression have made bulldogs a natural comparison for decades.
John Travolta and a Bald Eagle
Travolta’s sharp eyebrows and intense eyes create an oddly similar look to a bald eagle photographed from the front.
Ed Sheeran and an Orangutan
Sheeran’s red hair and expressive eyes make certain orangutans look remarkably similar, especially in close-up photographs.
Ron Perlman and a Bulldog
Perlman’s heavy brow, broad jaw, and deeply set eyes give him an unmistakable bulldog quality.

This is one of the internet’s most famous celebrity-animal comparisons. Cumberbatch’s narrow face, prominent cheekbones, and expressive eyes can look remarkably otter-like.
Adam Driver and a Cat
Driver’s unusually long face, large ears, and intense eyes have repeatedly earned him comparisons to cats with similarly elongated features.
Rihanna and a Cat
Rihanna’s almond-shaped eyes and sharply defined features can create an uncanny resemblance to certain cats when photographed from similar angles.
Adrien Brody and a Horse
Brody’s exceptionally long nose and narrow face make the horse comparison almost unavoidable. Certain long-faced horses look like they could be his distant relatives.
Miley Cyrus and a Husky
Cyrus’s eyes and facial expressions can look surprisingly similar to a Siberian husky, particularly when both are photographed staring directly into the camera.

Reeves’ famously melancholy expression has an animal counterpart in dogs that appear permanently worried about something.
Ariana Grande and a Deer
Grande’s large eyes, delicate features, and narrow face give her a strong resemblance to deer, especially in photographs emphasizing her eyes.

Keira Knightley and a Fox
Knightley’s angular face, pointed features, and sharp eyes give her a surprisingly fox-like appearance.
Dwayne Johnson and a Gorilla
Johnson’s enormous frame and broad facial features make the gorilla comparison pretty obvious. His shaved head and muscular build only strengthen it.
Jeff Goldblum and a Llama
Goldblum’s long face, prominent eyes, and perpetually curious expression have an oddly accurate counterpart in the llama world.
Jack Black and a Bear
Black’s thick eyebrows, round face, and expressive eyes make him look surprisingly similar to a bear when photographed with a similarly expressive animal.
