People Who Stumbled Upon Their Doppelgänger In The Wild

We'd all like to live our lives thinking that we're incredibly special and unique and that no one on Earth is like us, but that's not always the case.

The chances of someone looking exactly identical to you are slim (though not impossible), but there's an even slimmer chance that you're actually going to come across the people who look like you. In some cases, though, people beat the odds and come across their lookalikes in the wild.

This Has To Be A Joke

Rob (on the left) is a stand-up comedian who thought that someone must be pulling a prank on him when someone came up to meet him after a show and they looked exactly like him.

How are they not related?
