Regular People With Famous Names Pose As Their Celebrity Counterparts

Being a celebrity may have a lot of perks, but making their names exclusive is not one of them. In fact, there are a lot of regular people who share the same name with famous stars.

The celebrities inspired some of the names, but some were just a complete coincidence. Being fascinated by the similarities, photographer Troy Goodall wanted to introduce the faces of the regular people with famous names. He cleverly called the project “Almost Famous.”
