Is This Boy Not the Spitting Image of Natalie Portman?

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
We have only one question for you: Does this picture of a 13-year-old boy remind you of anyone?
When Redditer Shannon Welch posted her boyfriend Clyff’s childhood photo to the social news site, the photo for one unlikely reason: Clyff at 13 looked exactly like Natalie Portman, right down to the beauty mark on their left cheek!
Out of all the women out there wishing they looked like Portman, turns out the “Star Wars” actress’ real doppelgänger was a sixth grade boy.
This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
