From Elvis to A Complete Unknown, biopics are a booming genre. One of the most important aspects of such a movie is casting an actor who physically resembles the subject in their youth.

So, this had me thinking, which young actors look the most identical to older stars?

For example, IMO, Lily Collins looks almost exactly like PJ Harvey in the '90s.
