One of two things has to be the truth. Either our looks aren’t as unique as we think [dramatic gasp—”No, that can’t be!”] or… the entire simulation we’re in is glitching out as Neo keeps doing cool stuff and we get nearer and nearer to the global release of ‘The Matrix Resurrections.’ (Keanu! We can’t wait to see you on the silver screen again!)
Our team here at Bored Panda has collected some great moments of people accidentally spotting their doppelgangers, interacting with their lookalikes, and documenting those rare moments that the Matrix’s programming makes doubles when it thinks nobody’s looking. Scroll down for some real-life glitchy copy-paste action and remember to upvote your fave pics! Do you have any stories about meeting people who look eerily similar to you? Let us know in the comments.
When you’re done enjoying the article, you should definitely give our other recent ‘glitch in the Matrix’ lists a look here, here, and here.
Bored Panda was interested to learn more about why we’re so fascinated by doppelgangers, so we reached out to Freddy Slivinski, the creator of the popular Same de la Same project on Instagram that celebrates people who are celebrity lookalikes. Freddy firmly believes that seeing your double with your own two eyes “is the most surprising thing that can happen to a person” while looking like a celebrity can absolutely change your life in very positive ways. Scroll down for our full interview with Freddy, dear Readers.
