Claude François, Edith Piaf, Jackie Kennedy ... Many famous personalities have been the subject of a film. And for some, the actors were chosen with accuracy. Overview of these actors who really look like the stars they have incarnated in the cinema.

Thanks to some artifices for some, quite naturally for others, the similarity of these actors with the famous personalities they incarnated in the cinema is more than disturbing!

Jérémie Renier and Claude François

In 2012, "Cloclo" is released, a biopic about the icon of the French song Claude François. A film in which we find the actor Jérémie Rénier, in the role of the main character. A choice more than judicious, as the two men are alike. Same look, same smile, same nose, same face shape, same hair ... they are almost identical.

Sveva Alviti and Dalida

Former professional tennis player and former model, Sveva Alviti is the one who will play Dalida in the cinema from January 11, 2017. A fantasy come true for this Italian who dreamed actress in the past. And if Sveva Alviti won the cast, it is partly for its resemblance to the singer. A mane of fire and a radiant smile that are reminiscent of Dalida's face.

Nicole Kidman and Grace Kelly

Released in 2014, "Grace of Monaco" tells the story of Princess Grace Kelly . And who else but Nicole Kidman could have played that role with such credibility? Probably nobody. From the look to the smile to this graceful port of head, the similarities between these two icons is disturbing.

Natalie Portman and Jackie Kennedy

On February 1, 2017, Natalie Portman will play Jackie Kennedy in the movie "Jackie" by Pablo Larrain. A highly anticipated film for which the actress has incredibly well slipped into the skin of the character. Thanks to a brushing can not be worked any more and to dresses could not be more identical to those that carried the former first lady of the United States, Natalie Portman is the perfect incarnation of a Jackie of the modern times.

Pierre Niney and Yves Saint Laurent

In 2014, Yves Saint Laurent was the subject of two films about his life, his work and his loves. One by Bertrant Bonello and played by Gaspard Ulliel, the other by Jalil Lesper and played by Pierre Niney. And it is without dispute the striking resemblance between the latter and Yves Saint Laurent that we will remember. During the shooting, Pierre Niney wore the real glasses of Saint Laurent. A role for which the actor will receive the César of the Best Actor.

Audrey Tautou and Coco Chanel

It is in 2009 that the film "Coco avant Chanel" comes out, biopic on the life of Gabrielle Chanel. And in the role of the main character, we find the French actress Audrey Tautou , delivering a remarkable interpretation. "I wanted a French actress who combines elegance, strength of character and a certain physical fragility, with a powerful look and an androgynous side.Apart Audrey Tautou, I saw no one," explained Anne Fontaine, director of the film.

Marion Cotillard and Edith Piaf

In 2007, the French actress Marion Cotillard interpreted the legend of the French song, Edith Piaf, in the film "La Môme", directed by Olivier Dahan. If the two women are not physically true copies, some strands of make-up and the irreproachable game of the actress are enough to transport us. So much so that the film has won multiple awards. As for Marion Cotillard she was rewarded by the César and the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance.
