Downton Doppelgangers

The entire time binge watching Downton Abbey a couple weeks ago I had the strangest feeling that I’ve seen all these people before. Each season, as new characters were introduced, I was struck with the feeling that I knew them. Finally, I caught up entirely and had to share my findings with the world. Yes, I know everyone thinks that Mary Crawley looks like Keira Knightley, but I don’t see it. I think they’re just familiar with Keira Knightley playing period piece damsels. However, literally everyone else on the show is a slightly odd-looking version of someone real. Let me know your thoughts in the comments, whether you see the resemblances in these Downton Abbey lookalikes or not.

Here is my list of Downton Doppelgangers:
