Helen Mirren as Queen Elizabeth II
During 2006, the biographical drama film The Queen was released. It narrates a series of events that lead up to Princess Diana’s death.

Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo
Although the Mexican actress didn’t need many transformations when it came to playing her hero, artist Frida Kahlo, in the 2002 biopic Frida. She hands down did a spectacular job, so much so that her performance was nominated for a Best Actress Oscar. She has often said that she has not just been obsessed with her but felt very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to show a Mexico in an era where it was very sophisticated.

Jamie Foxx as Ray Charles
Jamie Foxx has starred in a few good and bad movies. But one of his greatest appearances was in the 2002 film Ray. For his Academy Award-winning role Foxx played the legendary blind musician Ray Charles. Jamie Foxx not only successfully played the part, but the resemblance between the two is so striking.

Jennifer Lopez as Selena Perez
For many, this film might be quite the throwback! But when it comes to Latin musical dramas, Jennifer Lopez is no doubt the ideal star to feature in these films. Back in 1997, Lopez played the role of Selena Quintanilla Pérez in the biopic Selena. The resemblance between these two Latinas is quite astounding, but that’s not all…Lopez spent many hours with the late singer’s family to get a better understanding of Selena’s character and she definitely did an excellent job.

Walter Matthau as Albert Einstein
This may be a surprise for most because when you see Einstein in a film you probably won’t expect it to be a Romantic Comedy, right? In the film, I.Q, Walter Matthau portrays the ever so brilliant Albert Einstein. We totally understand that this kind of role that needs to be played perfectly only because it features a world-class idol. What’s so scary is the uncanny resemblance between the two, perhaps they are indeed blood relatives and were unaware of it.
