Celebrities and Their Doppelgangers | Reincarnation?

What is a doppelganger: A doppelganger is a mysterious, exact double of a living person. It’s a German word that literally translates to “double walker” or “double goer”. Sightings and reports of doppelgangers have been around for centuries, and a great deal of superstition has developed around them. Traditionally, they have been viewed as sinister or even evil entities. Seeing a doppelganger has also been considered an omen of misfortune or bad luck.

They say we all have a doppelganger somewhere in the world, but what about in a previous life?

Could it be Reincarnation?

Robbie Williams and Jesse Pomeroy

9th Century child killer and Robbie Williams look-alike Jesse Pomeroy was certainly no Angel. He was aged just 14-years-old when he was sentenced to hang for the brutal murder of a 10-year-old girl and the grisly mutilation of a 4-year-old boy. He cheated the gallows, dying in prison aged 72, sadly with No remorse.

Nicolas Cage and unknown 19th Century gentleman

Not much is known about the look-alike in this American Civil War era photograph dated 1870, other than that he was from Tennessee and the fact he’s the spitting image of Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage!

Eminem and Emperor Alexander Severus

This stoney faced chap Alexander Severus was a Roman Emperor from the third century. Both Alexander and Eminem have had their shady moments, with the emperor being assassinated aged 27 and Eminem courting controversy throughout his career.

Orlando Bloom and Nicolae Grigorescu

Side-by-side, British actor Orlando Bloom and Romanian painter Nicolae Grigorescu appear nearly indistinguishable. Grigorescu, born in 1838, was a writer and one of the founders of modern Romanian painting. Over the course of his career, he created hundreds of pieces that were displayed throughout Europe is countries like France, Vienna, Greece and Italy.
Not surprisingly, Orlando Bloom also has a connection to the brush.

Jack Gleeson and Caligula

On the left, the Emperor Caligula, one of the most famous – and notorious – rulers of ancient Rome. On the right, Jack Gleeson as Joffrey in the Game of Thrones TV series, who feels a ongoing urge for power in the series.

Caligula has long held a reputation – one that, to be fair, is being dialled back substantially by modern research – as one of Rome’s most debauched public figures, a man renowned for depravity, sexual excess and cruelty a bit like Joffrey!

Sylvester Stallone and Pope Gregory IX

A visitor to Vatican City was stunned when he found the subject of a Raphael masterpiece had an uncanny resemblance to – Sylvester Stallone.
The Cardinal and Theological Virtues is a 1511 fresco adorning one of the Raphael Rooms at the Vatican.
It depicts Pope Gregory IX approving the Vatical Decretals – with a spitting image of Hollywood hardman Sylvester Stallone, 65, looking on.

Johnny Depp and A Redditor’s Great Grandfather

Redditor mwjstone14 posted a photo of his great-grandfather, who just by bizarre coincidence is the identical, temporally misplaced twin of Johnny Depp.
