Knowing that someone looks exactly like you do is just strange, isn’t it? We apologise to all identical twins out there, but it’s true. No matter how weird it may seem to us, we can’t help but gasp every time we notice an uncanny resemblance between two people.

Looking at the photo above, you already know who we’re talking about, but that doesn’t make the similarity between electro-Sha’bi icon AbdelSalam and American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish any less intriguing.

Egyptians on Twitter have been similarly intrigued and dealt with that intrigue the best way they know – through humour, of course!

Some have mentioned that radio presenter and comedian Khaled Eleish is the third twin, while others created a vivid narrative in which Abdelsalam and Billie Eilish fell out over family heirlooms.

Naturally, some used this opportunity as a chance to hope for a far-fetched collaboration between the two. Although, with Billie Eilish being a self-proclaimed Nancy Ajram fan, who knows how unlikely that truly is?

Another thing the uncanny resemblance between these musicians has made us remember is a few other doppelganger pairings that made us do a doubletake.

Case in point, the similarity between actresses Nisreen Amin and Jurnee Smollet is so prominent you’ll be rendered speechless.

One more doppelganger duo phenomenon is represented in Julia Roberts and Star Academy-era Mohamed Attia.

Yes, we know. Lookalikes are a special brand of strange, especially since the resemblances know no geographical boundaries. But, oddly enough, they add a dash of excitement to our lives.
