The ensemble cast of Netflix’s hit series Stranger Things has become iconic, but intriguing similarities have emerged between its cast members and various Hollywood celebrities. As the Duffer Brothers consider future spinoffs, the potential for new faces that resemble these beloved characters is certainly promising.
Among the many lookalikes, Finn Wolfhard and Timothée Chalamet stand out as a notable pair. With their dark hair, sharp cheekbones, and slender builds, the two actors could easily portray brothers in a film or TV series. Meanwhile, Natalia Dyer, who plays Wolfhard’s sister on the show, similarly shares a striking resemblance with Chalamet, leading to playful comparisons among fans who argue they resemble twins.
Millie Bobby Brown, another standout from the show, has been likened to pop sensation Halsey. During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2022, Halsey declared that Brown would be her ideal choice to play her in a biopic, commenting on their uncanny resemblance. Brown enthusiastically echoed this sentiment on social media, showcasing the connection between the two stars.
Other notable pairs include Winona Ryder and Keira Knightley, who share a unique affinity for similar hairstyles and makeup styles. The likeness between Joe Keery, known for his role as Steve Harrington, and Ben Schwartz, famous for Jean-Ralphio Saperstein from Parks & Recreation, sparked a humorous fan theory linking their characters due to the geographic connection of both shows being set in Indiana. The actors even addressed this playful speculation during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
Dacre Montgomery, recognized for his unlikable characters, has often been compared to Leo Woodall, with both actors having blue eyes and brunette hair. Meanwhile, Joseph Quinn has been noted for his resemblance to Daisy Edgar-Jones, with fans often drawing parallels between them. Additionally, Jamie Campbell Bower and Sam Claflin could serve as a perfect father-son casting choice for any spinoff centered around Vecna, given their similar features.
The list of lookalikes continues with Cara Buono resembling Sara Rafferty, as well as Charlie Heaton showing similarities to Harry Styles. Even Gaten Matarazzo and F1 driver Lando Norris have drawn attention for their similar curly hair and bright eyes. Finally, David Harbour and Kristofer Hivju, known for their formidable on-screen personas in Stranger Things and Game of Thrones respectively, share a striking resemblance in both appearance and character traits, characterized by their bushy beards and commanding physical presence.
As fans continue to engage with the series and its characters, the potential for new creative opportunities only grows, bringing hope for even more captivating storytelling in the future.
