4 Pairs of Celebrity Twins Who Aren’t Related

Mistaking celebrities for others is a common occurrence for many people, and when it comes to these stars, one would definitely believe you if you said they were related. Here are 4 pairs of actors and musicians who look nearly identical!

Leehom Wang (王力宏) and Purba Rgyal (蒲巴甲)

The former has been a mega superstar since the early 2000’s, while the latter made his debut in 2006 through the singing competition My Hero <加油好男儿>. Leehom and Purba often get mixed up for looking similar, but the two actually share nothing in common except for being singers.

Dong Xuan (董璇) and Tong Liya (佟丽娅)

Tong Liya and Dong Xuan, also known as Michelle Dong, are close friends. Besides sharing the same career, the celebrity sisters also went through similar scandalous relationships—Liya’s husband Chen Sicheng (陈思诚) had been caught cheating on her, while Michelle’s husband Gao Yunxiang (高云翔), also known as Gavin Gao, is in the midst of a sexual assault lawsuit.

Sun Yi (孙怡) and Li Qin (李沁)

Both Sun Yi and Li Qin debuted relatively recent in the industry. 24-year-old Sun Yi’s popularity skyrocketed after starring in Because of You <因为遇见你> in 2017, and her marriage and subsequent pregnancy made top headlines. 27-year-old Li Qin, on the other hand, found fame starring as Xue Baochai in 2010’s The Dream of Red Mansions <红楼梦>.

Tong Yao (童瑶) and Zhang Ziyi (章子怡)

For years, Tong Yao was known as the “little Zhang Ziyi”. The former debuted in 2002 drama Lin Hai Xue Yuan <林海雪原>, while the latter is an international superstar, having appeared in films such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon <卧虎藏龙>, Hero <英雄>, and House of Flying Daggers <十面埋伏>.
