Robert Pattinson

How many people does it take to play a broody, sparkling vampire in a popular series of romantic fantasy films? Two, apparently. While Robert Pattinson is the man everyone remembers in the role of Edward Cullen, he couldn’t have done the job without a bit of help. That’s where Paul Darnell came in. Although the two don’t look overtly identical, there is a definite similarity in the body shape. We reckon Darnell needs some lessons on pulling off Cullen’s inherent moodiness, though.

Henry Cavill

The most recent actor to portray the iconic Superman is Henry Cavill who filled the role three times between 2013 and 2017. However, while the actor might have the body for the part, he doesn’t quite have the same abilities as Superman. That means rather than being able to fly around and do all his stunts, he has to rely on the help of a double. It’s a good thing Paul Darnell doesn’t just look like Robert Pattinson then, isn’t it?
