Ever heard the saying “there’s someone else out there who has the same face as you”? According to you, it’s probably Bradley Cooper or Beyoncé. But in all likelihood, it’s a normal person you’ll never meet (with 7.4 billion people on the planet, there’s likely to be someone else out there who shares some of your features). Regardless, on April 20, we observe National Look-Alike Day. It’s the ideal day to attempt to convince people your match is a celebrity, instead of that completely normal person you bumped into at the supermarket.
The background of National Look-Alike Day
Most of us think fairly highly of, well, us. Since people are so egocentric, of course, they think other people resemble them. (Although, we’re confident if you asked the doppelganger, it’d probably be the other way around.) Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the finest of all? Don’t answer—we already know what you’re going to say.In fact, most of us are searching for intangible similarities in education, humor, and creativity. In fact, we might even be looking for people who appear similar. Science states we are more likely to prefer faces which possess some of our own features.The notion of having a double makes us feel prettier, cooler, more attractive, and even more likable. Moreover, living in the internet age makes it seem like a not-so-strange occurrence that we might even meet them. So would it be that weird to inadvertently stumble across your look-alike on Instagram during National Look-Alike Day? We assume not.
NATIONAL LOOK-ALIKE DAY ACTIVITIES
Meet your celeb double
Your celebrity mystery match might be just a few clicks away. Check out some look-alike-generating websites, upload a photo, and live vicariously through your much more famous double. And then, go around informing everyone you’re the famous celebrity you look like—only to be told you don’t resemble them at all. Don’t get your spirits down though — we believe you’re pretty enough to appear like a celebrity.
Play dress up
Sometimes it’s enjoyable to play dress up, so do your best celebrity impression and dress like your look-alike. Let people do double takes while you’re strolling down the street. Who knows, someone might even ask you for an autograph! Have you seen the classic Hillary Duff film “The Lizzie McGuire Movie”? That’s exactly what we’re envisioning. Be mistaken for a celeb on National Look-Alike Day and you might become the pop star of your desires!
“Accidentally” match with your closest friend
Sometimes the best things arrive in pairs. Make others glance twice by planning a fun, matching outfit with a friend. If you’re connected at the hip (as in wardrobe) there’s no opting out of a friendship now, is there? Maybe your faces don’t appear alike at all, but the next best thing is to match outfits.
