Chace Crawford from The Boys says he was mistaken for a Vampire Diaries star, so I guess Paul Wesley isn’t the only one with a famous doppelganger.

Chace Crawford from The Boys says he was mistaken for a Vampire Diaries star, so I guess Paul Wesley isn’t the only one with a famous doppelganger.

The cast of the Vampire Diaries apparently has a running gag about how much Justin Bieber resembles one of his stars, Paul Wesley. The conversation – and photos comparing the two – recently resurfaced when Wesley’s former co-star Ian Somerhalder released pictures to Biebs’ upcoming child with wife Hailey. However, it turns out that Wesley is not the only Salvatore brother with a prominent doppelganger, because Chace Crawford from The young recently admitted that fans confused him with Somerhalder.

Chace Crawford met with some of his co-stars from The young — whose fourth season premiered last week in a wild and winding finale — where they answered some of the most frequently asked questions about themselves. When the actor from The Deep was asked who he looks like, Crawford was able to answer pretty quickly and said on the WIRED video:

Most of the time I got Ian Somerhalder. And who else? That’s pretty much it. People actually thought I was him. “Oh my God, I loved you so much on the vampire show.” And I said, “Yeah, come on, come here, let’s take a picture.” Like, “I love you too. That show was great.”

Wow, I can well imagine that fans have confused Chace Crawford with Ian Somerhalder, especially since Crawford in his gossip Girl days. I’m sure it didn’t help that they both starred in teen dramas on The CW. Just look at the actors side by side:

I'm Somerhalder on Jimmy Kimmel Live and Chace Crawford as Nate on Gossip Girl.

I actually think these two might be more similar than Justin Bieber and Paul Wesley, so I wonder if that’s something that ever crossed Ian Somerhalder’s mind. the Vampire Diaries Sentence.
