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.
