What would you do if you looked near-identical to Scarlett Johansson or Angelina Jolie?
For some people, it seems, nothing. Photos have emerged on Reddit showing ordinary people who have extraordinary celebrity doppelgangers.
From Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles, to Emma Watson and Taylor Schilling, the resemblance some of these people and their celebrity 'twins' share is uncanny.

The Reddit thread, which started a year ago, has invited a whopping 13,000 comments, with people posting photos either of themselves or their celebrity-lookalike friends.
Because Reddit allows users to remain anonymous, the location and identities of these people are largely unknown.
One man, who looks so much like musician Ed Sheeran it's frankly terrifying, wrote alongside his portrait: 'I keep getting stopped in the street because people think I'm Ed Sheeran.'
He then responded to the flood of feedback, saying: 'Thanks for all the comments... I have some cool ideas on how to have some fun with this!'
A rather modest young woman with more than a passing resemblance to Harry Potter heroine Emma Watson, stated: 'People compare me to Emma Watson.. Not doppelganger but I guess we look a like.'
One user responded: 'If you ever see Emma Watson and she makes direct eye contact with you I want you to mirror her every movement to freak her out.'

Another submitted a photo of his father and wrote: 'My dad got mistaken for Craig Ferguson.. at The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.'
One woman who didn't appear on the thread but has emerged more recently is Scottish student Chelsea Marr, 24, who looks astonishingly like Angelina Jolie.
But the stunning lookalike has turned down the chance of a glamorous life of modelling in favour of working as a recruitment manager.
Her Instagram account has 56,000 followers, with hundreds liking and commenting on her pictures.
Friends describe her as shy, and she said in a recent Facebook post that she is just a 'normal girl' who happens to look like the A-list beauty.
