  • Zach Braff and Dax Shepard look almost identical.
  • A face-swapped photo taken by Kristen Bell, who's married to Shepard, proves it.
  • Almost nothing changed between them.
  • Both Braff's and Shepard's fans are, for the most part, deeply shaken to discover this.

 

There are a lot of celebrities who look alike.

But Zach Braff and Dax Shepard take it to the next level.

When Kristen Bell, who's married to Shepard, used a Face Swap app on them a few years ago, almost nothing changed.

Their expressions were different when the photo was taken, so their mouth shapes are slightly different, but that's pretty much it. Aside from that, it's pretty much just the eyebrows and the angle to the nose.

Some of the actors' fans were shaken to the core.

Some had known this for awhile.

And some just thought it was funny.

The "Scrubs" and "Parenthood" actors (Braff and Shepard respectfully, in case you get confused) join a long list of celebrity doppelgängers. Between Amy Adams and Isla Fisher; Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel; and Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem, it's sometimes hard to tell stars apart.
