      It is possible but no scienctific reason for this unless they are part of your family.

      I’d say it probably wasn’t impossible, there’s only so many ways you can organise a set of eyes, a nose and a mouth. 😉

      There is always the possibility….. although I pity the poor person out there who shared my looks!

      A lot of the aspects of our looks are genetic, so if someone just happened to have the same genetic blend as you (either by family, or just by chance) they may have similar looks I guess…..

      Hi chamberlain,

      Probably. There are many lookalikes in the world. I don’t know who mine is yet. Hope to meet one in the future.
