00:00I've seen you, I've seen you online, imitating me.
00:06Yes!
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:09And today, we're counting down our picks for the actors
00:12with more than a passing resemblance to another, more established performer.
00:16And if you look under your seats, I'm just kidding.
00:21There's a quiggle for everyone.
00:24Number 10. Jordan Fisher as Prince.
00:27The Purple Rain musician's talent, charm, and infinite charisma are a tough act to follow.
00:33Multi-talented Broadway performer, actor, and singer Jordan Fisher
00:37looks a lot like Prince in his 80s movie stardom days.
00:48This resemblance is more than just physical, though.
00:52Once that biopic comes around,
00:53Fisher might not even need to lip-sync to the artist's original tracks.
00:57He could do it all himself.
01:08He's got the confidence and swagger, as well as the vocal chops.
01:11He can also sell different genres of music,
01:14boasting an impressive range of notes and styles, just as Prince did.
01:18See you landing in the purple rain, purple rain, purple rain.
01:27Number 9. Ana de Armas as Sofia Loren.
01:31The star of the original Knives Out wowed audiences when she recreated one iconic movie star.
01:37They know I'm Norma, not Marilyn.
01:41Ana de Armas earned an Oscar nomination for her turn as Marilyn Monroe in the controversial Blonde.
01:47She bears an even more striking resemblance to an Oscar winner.
01:55Sofia Loren is one of the most famous actresses of all time.
02:00Her work in movies like Marriage Italian Style and Two Women
02:03cemented her as the very image of sultry European beauty.
02:07De Armas' smoldering screen persona would be an astonishingly good fit
02:20to recapture Loren in her cinematic heyday.
02:23She's okay. She's ready to talk.
02:29Number 8. Joey King as Drew Barrymore.
02:32With her more recent talk show success and internet virality,
02:36there's renewed interest in former child star turned successful adult actress and presenter Drew Barrymore.
02:43Joey King is our pick to play her in a biopic.
02:45And I am sorry we didn't make this our most memorable summer ever.
02:50King not only looks like the host, but the two also got along like gangbusters on her talk show.
02:55There's clearly a lot in common between them.
02:58We're not alone in that opinion.
02:59Oh my god, you are me!
03:05Barrymore herself agrees.
03:09Participating in a TikTok trend, she identified King as her choice to play her
03:13if a film version of her life ever comes to pass.
03:16We can meet here at Rob's and we can all share a limousine together.
03:22Number 7. Millie Bobby Brown as Natalie Portman.
03:26The Stranger Things breakout star and the star of the Star Wars prequel trilogy
03:30share more than a passing resemblance.
03:32I ask you to help us.
03:34No, I beg you to help us.
03:37Natalie Portman's early life and career would make a great biopic
03:40as she began her prolific film career at 12 years old.
03:44She and Millie Bobby Brown have frequently been named as celebrity doppelgangers.
03:49That resemblance has even been mined for comedy by Saturday Night Live of all places.
03:57Whoa!
04:01Whoa! So cool!
04:04And it has to be said, they're both world-class rappers.
04:07Hold up on NBC and smack a snap, Jeff Tucker!
04:10Bad news when you see that bloody nose.
04:16In 2018, Portman humbly downplayed their similarities,
04:21not wanting to horn in on Brown's moment of stardom.
04:24I'm like, that is very nice, but I think you're your own magical person.
04:30It's been long enough that if there were a biopic around the corner,
04:33Brown would probably be a contender to star.
04:36Number 6. Bill Skarsgård as Steve Buscemi.
04:39The acclaimed character actor from Fargo and Reservoir Dogs is known for playing offbeat characters.
04:46First thing you gotta do is fall into this pit.
04:52Steve Buscemi's distinctive facial features make him one of the movie's most recognizable actors.
04:58Meanwhile, Bill Skarsgård has recently made a run of embodying villainous monsters,
05:03but when he's not donning the monster makeup, the similarities are striking.
05:07Oh my god, I'm traumatizing this child.
05:10Yeah.
05:11Like, what am I doing?
05:13Some online users even have a hard time believing they're not related.
05:18Seeing the two side by side, it's easy to see why.
05:22Eh, Europe's too foofy.
05:24I bet we visit Robert in Africa.
05:26Skarsgård looks like the young Buscemi before he was a major star.
05:30If not a biopic, maybe a ghost story where a man is haunted by his younger self
05:35could make use of the resemblance.
05:37Sean was boss.
05:40Sean was boss.
05:42I'm the boss.
05:44Number 5. Lily Reinhart as Brittany Murphy.
05:47The mysterious, tragic, and premature death of the beloved Clueless star
05:51could be a movie all its own.
05:53Since her passing, Brittany Murphy's talent has been appreciated for how unique it truly was.
05:58Few actors today have the combination of gifts she had.
06:02This is, uh...
06:03It's my new apartment.
06:05Okay, this way is the kitchen area.
06:08And over here in this direction, you'll find the very private,
06:12trickle-to-to-bathroom section.
06:14Fabulous, huh?
06:16While a biopic would hopefully treat her life with care and respect,
06:19casting her should be a no-brainer.
06:21Riverdale actress Lily Reinhart's wide, warm eyes and bone structure
06:26are uncannily similar to Brittany Murphy's.
06:32Reinhart demonstrated an ability to balance that naturally vulnerable face
06:36with some real dramatic skill.
06:39I'm supposed to say yes.
06:42That's what the nice girl always says, but...
06:45No, I'm not.
06:47Number 4. Zendaya as Rihanna
06:49Her rise from troubled childhood to international pop star
06:54to billion-dollar mogul
06:55is as good as anything Hollywood ever came up with.
07:03We need the story behind Rihanna's upbringing,
07:06career, and business empire like yesterday.
07:09To play younger Rihanna, we have to go with Zendaya.
07:12Everyone's gotten it.
07:16She's had massive success and more mature roles
07:19since her Disney days.
07:20Most importantly, she can sing and dance
07:23as well as any modern pop star.
07:31As Rihanna, she'd be coming for that Oscar.
07:34Hopefully, she's not too traumatized by Tom Holland
07:36absolutely destroying that umbrella lip sync.
07:39Number 3. Halle Bailey as Beyonce
07:52Few actors could compare to the current reigning global superstar.
07:56Then again, few biopic actors would have as much of a masterclass
08:10in their subject as Halle Bailey.
08:11I don't wanna do it, I can't fall
08:15Just come right over here
08:16Shut the door
08:18She and sister Chloe Bailey were mentored by Beyonce herself.
08:23Like Beyonce early in her career,
08:25Bayley recently parlayed her music career into one on the screen
08:28starring as Ariel in the live-action Little Mermaid.
08:32I didn't fight alone, father.
08:35Eric was with me.
08:38Beyonce's singular presence would indeed be hard to imitate
08:41but Bayley is at the start of an iconic career of her own.
08:44With her growing star power,
08:46she would be the ideal candidate to play a younger version.
08:49Number 2. Kiki Palmer as Angela Bassett
09:01They've already played mother and daughter in Akela and the Bee.
09:05Even then, Angela Bassett was highly impressed by Kiki Palmer's abilities
09:09and the young actress was still a child.
09:12Mama, you think that maybe you might go back to college?
09:19The easy chemistry between them is something that really can't be explained by just working together.
09:24There is such camaraderie that Palmer should be the easy pick to play Bassett in a biopic.
09:29I just believe that anything is possible.
09:32You know? Anything.
09:34Given what an incredible mimic she is,
09:36Palmer's performance in an early career biopic
09:39could give the same kind of uncanny power as Bassett's incredible work as Tina Turner.
09:44Palmer's imitation of her has already earned Bassett's approval.
09:48Hey, you know, and it was a lot of pressure.
09:51And I just remember that you looked at me and you grabbed my hand
09:53and you said, you love what you do, right?

10:15This resemblance is so strong that the internet randomly decided
10:19the star of FX's The Bear was the grandson of Gene Wilder himself.
10:23What the hell do you think I'm doing?
10:25I come here to help a girl who may be killed at any minute.
10:28You're playing cops and robbers like you're on television.
10:30Few movie stars had curls and piercing blue eyes like Wilder.
10:34So when Jeremy Allen White blew up in the aftermath of The Bear,
10:37it was like seeing lightning strike twice.
10:48More than the physical similarities, Wilder is a prime subject for a biopic.
10:52He frequently worked with fellow comedian giants Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor.
10:57His marriage to the late comedian Gilda Radner could be a love story all its own.
11:02The only question that remains is, who should play her?
11:05I don't know, guys. I don't know.
11:08What celebrity lookalikes did we miss?
11:10Let us know in the comments.
11:11Mother and daughter duo.
11:13Oh, I taught you everything you know.
11:14You taught me everything I know.
11:16But then you upped the game because, you know, it's all digital and stuff, you know.
11:21I just think we would kill something like that.
11:23I think we would.
11:24So I literally, I'm like, that needs to be me and her.
