15 Olympians who resemble celebrities

New Delhi: Not every Olympian needs success at the Games to make them feel like a celebrity. Some of them feel like celebrities every time they look in the mirror—because they already have celebrity doppelgangers.Here is a list of 15 athletes from the 2012 Summer Olympics who have celebrity look-alikes. Some are more uncanny than others, but there's a definite resemblance with each pair. Kerri Walsh and Laura LinneyKerri Walsh and Laura Linney could definitely pass for sisters. The more attractive one, of course, is the movie star. But the jock gets the last laugh: I'd take 2 gold medals (and maybe a 3rd, but at least a silver, still to come) over 3 Oscar nominations any day.Usain Bolt and Puff DiddyUsain Bolt looks like Puff Diddy. But if you see them in person, there's no way you could mistake one for the other. Why…? Because Bolt is 6'5″ and with one of the greatest athletic physiques of all time. Diddy…well, he's doesn't have that going for him. Aly Raisman and Sarah SilvermanTeam USA's surprise gymnastics star Aly Raisman, winner of 2 gold medals and 1 bronze, sort of looks like comedian Sarah Silverman from the side. Both have thin lips and noses that are kind of pointy. Nathan Adrian and Joseph Gordon-LevittNathan Adrian won gold in Beijing at the age of 19 in the 4x100m relay. This year, at the age of 23, he's won 2 more golds (100m and 4x100m medley) and 1 silver (4x100m freestyle). His quasi-doppelgänger is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who pretty much can't go wrong these days.The guy in Nolan's Inception and The Dark Knight Rises, but he's soon to appear in another action flick co-staring the legendary Bruce Willis.Francesca Piccinini and Giselle BundchenItalian volleyball player Francesca Piccinini topped our list of hottest Olympians at the 2012 Summer Olympics a few weeks back, not so much because she was hands-down the best looking female athletes at the Games. She could pass for Mrs. Tom Brady herself, Giselle Bundchen in one of the picture where she laying on the sand.Andy Murray and Andrew GarfieldI think even if Andrew Garfield actually was Spiderman, and he came swooping into London by attaching his web right to the Tower Bridge and swinging across the Thames, he would still not be more popular than Andy Murray right now. Gurbaj Singh and James MarsdenGurbaj Singh is a 23-year-old Indian field hockey player. And, strangely enough, in his official Olympic profile picture he looks like James Marsden of such films as X-Men, Enchanted, and Hairspray. 0-5.Ryan Lochte and Jason SegelA lot of people have said said American swimmer Ryan Lochte looks like Channing Tatum. However, he looks like a slightly younger and much more physically fit than Jason Segel. .Andy Roddick and Sean William ScottAndy Roddick was the number 1 player in the for a brief period back in 2003. Then Roger Federer came along…and Rafael Nadal…and Novak Djokovic, and he hasn't won squat since. And that trend continued at the 2012 Olympics. Roddick didn't even sniff the podium, losing to 4th place finisher Djokovic in the second round. But at least Andy still looks like Stiffler—a.k.a. Sean William Scott.Lolo and Rashida JonesEveryone's favorite 30-year-old virgin Olympian looks so much like Rashida Jones that, given the last name, anybody would think the two might be sisters. Of course, they're not. Rashida is the daughter of legendary music producer Quincy Jones, while Lolo is from Iowa and has regular, not-rich and famous parents. Oh well.Michael Phelps and John KrasinskiMichael Phelps is the most-decorated Olympian of all time, with 18 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 2 bronze medals. In the looks department, however, he's like a caricature of John Krasinski from The Office. Laure Boulleau and Elisha CuthbertFrench soccer player Laure Boulleau's celebrity look-alike is none other than legendary Canadian hottie Elisha Cuthbert. Both of these gorgeous women have already won gold…in our hearts.Natalie Couglin and Miley CyrusAmerican swimmer Natalie Couglin looks a lot like Miley Cyrus, despite the fact that the former is 10 years older than the latter. Of course, looks is where the similarities end with these two. Coughlin has 12 Olympic medals, including 3 golds, over the course of three Olympic Games. Cyrus, on the other hand, is just the daughter of a one-hit wonder who can barely sing.Roger Federer and Quentin TarantinoThough you wouldn't know if from this picture, Swiss tennis superstar Roger Federer is like a better-looking version of Inglorious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino. And the similarities don't stop with their looks. Both of these guys have won gold in the past—Federer at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Tarantino at the 1995 Academy Awards.Ginobili and Mahmoud AhmadinejadGinobili was already a huge star in Argentina thanks to his success in the NBA. However, when he led Argentina to the gold medal in basketball at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens? That made him a national hero. Unfortunately, Ginobili can sometimes resembles Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
