Famous person from the past. Doubles of famous people from the past (10 photos)
The favorite legend of fans of everything mystical says that each of us is not the first incarnation of ourselves. It is not so difficult to find evidence of this by looking at old photographs or paintings by famous artists. Doubles are found for famous actors and famous politicians. And if you dig around, then for each of us you can find a brother from the past who will look exactly the same as we do now, minus the fashionable hairstyle and mustache strange shape.
Nicolas Cage
Emperor Maximilian I of Mexico
Nicolas Cage has such a specific appearance that he not only has many doubles among historical characters, but also looks as if time has no power over him. His fans’ favorite joke that Cage is a vampire even made the actor want to publicly refute this information. Cage's favorite double today is the Mexican Emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg, brother of the Austrian ruler Franz Joseph. The similarity between these two people, however, is a little hidden when you look at traditional photos Emperor, where he has a beard. But here rare photos The young monarch looks as if a slightly thinner Cage had a strange hairstyle.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Judy Zipper
The funny thing about this pair of doubles is that the previous incarnation famous actor – unknown girl. One of Leo's fans was simply looking through his grandmother's yearbook and came across Judy Zipper, who looked exactly like the newly minted Oscar winner. However, even before this double was found, many noted DiCaprio’s strikingly pretty, almost girlish appearance. So it is not surprising that the most famous double Leo is female.
Nikolay Valuev
Henri Tillet
Boxer and politician Nikolai Valuev has a rather specific appearance. This fact, it would seem, should have saved him from doubles, but there was also a person who could be considered the incarnation of Valuev from the past. This is a Frenchman, born in the Russian Urals, Henri Tillet. Besides their appearance, these two men have quite a lot in common - Tiye is also a professional athlete. He gained fame as a strong wrestler, performing under the pseudonym " French angel" This nickname is no coincidence. As a child, Tiye was not at all like Valuev; everyone called him a little angel for his pretty appearance. But as they grow up young man discovered the disease acromegaly, due to which his bones began to thicken.
Johnny Depp
Arthur Schopenhauer
This is a not so popular pair of twins, because in his most famous photographs, the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer does not look at all like the handsome Depp. In them he is already an elderly, bald man of completely unattractive appearance. But once you take the earlier images of Schopenhauer, the similarities become obvious. From which we can conclude that the philosopher’s successes on the love front were in no way inferior to Depp’s.
Mark Zuckerberg
Philip IV
These doppelgängers, like the others on our list, are similar not only in appearance. Both of them can be called the richest and influential people of its time. There is no need to talk about Zuckerberg - everyone knows him, but the double of the founder of Facebook, King Philip IV of Spain, deserves a separate story. This man collected works of art, was a controversial personality, had dubious external and domestic policy, but that didn’t stop him from owning millions.
Sylvester Stallone
Pope Gregory IX
If you remember yourself famous hero Stallone - Rocky, then he was enough religious person and obviously a Catholic. But still not so much that one could imagine the Pope, exactly like him. Yet Sly's most famous counterpart is the Pope who ruled the Vatican in the 13th century, Gregory IX. It was this man who came up with the papal inquisition and was not against making fun of heretics.
Macaulay Culkin
Vladimir Putin
Macaulay Culkin was once considered the cutest child on the planet, and it was hard to imagine that as he grew older he would become like one of the harsh government leaders our time. Nevertheless, it is true. If you compare the photo of the matured Macaulay with the image of the young Vladimir Putin, the similarities are striking. And this is the only example of doubles on our list who live in the world at the same time. This means that Kalkin is not the incarnation of Putin after all.
Jennifer Lawrence
Zubaida Tharwat
Jennifer Lawrence is one of the most desirable girls modern film industry. The star of “The Hunger Games” is gaining more and more popularity and is slowly acquiring doppelgängers. Her most famous historical twin is the Egyptian actress Zubaida Tharwat. She was famous in her country, but the world would never have recognized her if not for her striking resemblance to the main character. Hollywood star.
Brad Pitt
Hermann Rorschach
Each of these handsome guys is famous in their field and looks pretty good. And if Brad Pitt can be called the most sexy actor, then Rorschach rightfully earned the title of the sexiest psychologist. At the same time, Brad Pitt only gets prettier over the years, but unfortunately, we won’t know what Rorschach would have looked like at Pitt’s age; he died at the age of 37.
Maggie Gyllenhaal
Rose Wilder Lane
Sophisticated Hollywood diva Maggie Gyllenhaal is known not only for the success in the acting and directing field of her brother Jake and father Stephen Gyllenhaal. She is quite talented in her own right. And her counterpart, Mrs. Lane, was a famous politician and writer of the early 20th century, and also played a prominent role in the American libertarian movement.
