The world has admired Angelina Jolie's striking looks for pretty much forever, so the fact that there's another woman out there who looks almost exactly like her? We can barely handle so much gorgeous in the world.Jolie's stunning doppelganger is Chelsea Marr from Aberdeen, Scotland, and she's achieved internet fame because of her resemblance to the Oscar-winning actress. Case in point: Her Instagram account has more than 113,000 followers—and a quick scroll through it is enough to make even the most devoted Angelina fans question which woman is which. Crazy, right? Back in August 2015, Marr wrote a lengthy post on Facebook responding to her look-alike status. "I don't really see the resemblance myself to be honest," she wrote. "I just see the imperfections in the mirror like most girls do, nor did I post these pictures so I didn't expect all of this to happen so out of the blue too. Despite what the articles say I am not a model I work for an oil and gas recruitment company as an Operations Manager in the city so trying to get work done with all of this has been a bit of a strain as you can imagine." Marr also said that she has had surgery on her nose (for complications from a childhood accident), a breast augmentation, and lip fillers, but not with the intention of looking like anyone else.But being known for looking just like one of the most beautiful women in the world? Not too bad. Now where's a Brad Pitt doppelganger?

Today is actress Angelina Jolie’s birthday. As one of Hollywood’s biggest leads, Jolie has appeared in several blockbusters throughout her career.

She will be reprising her role as Maleficent in Disney’s upcoming Maleficent 2. Of course, Jolie’s resume runs far deeper than those films. She also played Grendel’s mother in the motion capture Beowulf film, Jane Smith in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, and Evelyn Salt in Salt. Kung-Fu Panda fans may also recognize her as the voice of Tigress in Kung-Fu Panda 2 and 3. Born in Los Angeles, California, Jolie turns 41 today. Happy Birthday, Angelina Jolie.

OK! recently claimed that the royal and had become close in the past few months."Kate is one of the few women that Angie cares about and the two have become firm friends since their tea party last summer."“They’ve bonded over motherhood and life in the public eye – Kate thought she had it bad until she heard some of Angie’s stories about stalkers and weirdoes trying to break into their properties.”According to Celebrity Dirty Laundry, Catherine's thin frame was all anyone could talk about at the May 16th Heads Together launch she attended with Prince William and Prince Harry.Wearing a Goat blouse tucked into a Banana Republic skirt, Catherine "looked haggard, overtired and outright miserable in one of the photos taken at the event," Celebrity Dirty Laundry alleged."Kate Middleton has stated clearly that Angelina Jolie is her idol – so good luck with that Wills, your wife wants to look like a Hollywood star – and that means sick skinny!" "Is Prince William stuck with a shallow wife with an eating disorder who wants nothing more than to be Hollywood glamorous and not be saddled with any substantial charity work?"
