Dozens of Russian men and women have entered a competition aiming to find the country's best Hollywood look-a-likes.

A handful of hopeful entrants posted pictures of themselves online to see if anyone else agreed with what they believed were striking similarities. 

The photos show varying degrees of success, with some looking just like their A-list counterparts and others believing that having the same hair colour is enough.

One Russian woman became a social media sensation after a user suggested she looked like Angelina Jolie.

Assol was told she was very similar to the actress after posting a photo, which showed her with dark hair and a similar shaped nose. 

She said she was very flattered to be nominated and praised the actress for her work with children.

She said: 'I start laughing when they compare my looks to Angelina. I reply: "It is still better than if you compared me to Jim Carrey."

'But to be honest I do not see Angelina when I look in the mirror.'

Other look-a-likes in the competition include Evgeny Kozubovsky, who claims to bear a resemblance to actor Hugh Laurie.

Darya Myasoedova added that she would not like to work as a model - despite being told she resembles Kendall Jenner from the hit US show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Ms Myasoedova said: 'My friends keep telling me I look like Kendall, but I would never have noticed it myself. I am OK with it, but I do not want to work as model. It is not my thing.' 

Viktoria Baidik, a bank officer from Tyomen, also said she believed she looked like A-lister Keira Knightley.

She said: 'They used to say I looked like Keira while I was still at the university. 

'There were students who wanted to take photos with me for that reason.

'Sometimes, younger students would shout "look, Keira Knightley" when I was passing by.'
