            With her pouting red lips and smouldering eyes, there are worse people in the world to be compared to than Angelina Jolie.And one woman is reaping the rewards after talent-spotters noticed she was a dead ringer for the A-list actress.Argentine model Victoria Furnari, 24, who now lives in New York, says she is always getting mistaken for the American superstar – although she can’t see the resemblance herself.Victoria is now using her lookalike credentials to launch a glamorous modelling career.She said: ‘I always have comments from people who I work with, makeup artists, stylists and so on saying how much we are alike.‘I did pictures for a magazine in France recently, playing the character of Angelina, I thought the pics were brilliant but to be honest I didn't think I look much like her.’But others do not agree with Victoria. The fashion website FashionTV has also commented on her amazing resemblance to the American actress.But the model is just taking her moment in the spotlight in her stride and is amused but not fazed by the comparisons.She said: ‘I do not put myself limits in my career. I feel able to do anything I have in my mind.‘I think the best thing that can happen is being known all over the world for what you do, for what makes you happy and step by step I am achieving that.’Victoria is currently the star of the new campaign Hello California for the brand Las Oreiro.She has also been the face of other major brands such as TRESemme and modelled for Balmain, Paris and shot commercials for Playboy, Coca Cola, Cereal Mix, Avon, L'Oreal, O'lays, Axe, Calvin Klein and Make Up For Ever.She lives in the States with model Tomas Guarrachino who starred in the recent Estee Lauder campaign.She started her modelling career at age 15 thanks to the stylist Miguel Angel Alessi and then she was taken on by IMG Models Milano and soon started to become famous.
