Irish actor Domhnall Gleeson is very much famous in his own own right.

For example, he is well known to Harry Potter fans as Bill Weasley, tugged on everyone’s heart strings in About Time, and has an illustrious stage career, even gaining a Tony nomination.

He recently appeared on the Graham Norton Show alongside actors Sterling K. Brown and Dakota Johnson, where Graham asked him about his celebrity doppelganger.

Here’s what happened.

“I’d be walking down the street and people would stop to tell me I looked like Cate Blanchett, which was, like, upsetting as a young man trying to make your way in the world.”

“I said goodbye and I walked away and it was amazing, but I walked straight into the women’s bathroom.”

TikTok users could see the likeness.

OH MY GOD he is Cate Blanchett.

You know, all British ppl look alike.

How about if one’s Irish and the other is Australian?

Introvertigus had another lookalike in mind.

I think he looks like Vincent van Gogh

We’re not sure whether Lord Matthew was joking with this comment.

I think he kinda looks like Brendan Gleeson from Gangs of New York.

There might a good reason for that.

Brendan is his Dad.
Miriam Henry

His dad? Yeah, fair enough.
