(Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic)Axelle/Bauer-Griffin—FilmMagic by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Jan 19, 2018 2:23 PM UTC Don’t ever think the internet is done with [_Stranger Things_](http://time.com/5002685/stranger-things-season-3-details/) conspiracy theories. This week, a Twitter user juxtaposed a photo of a young [Natalie Portman](http://time.com/5092587/natalie-portman-globes-reactions/) and several snapshots of [_Stranger Things_](http://time.com/4980832/stranger-things-season-2-trailer-friday-the-13th/) breakout star [Millie Bobby Brown](http://time.com/5021407/drake-stranger-things-millie-bobby-brown-photo/) writing, “I NEED ANSWERS.” Boy, did the internet deliver. It was only a matter of time before photos of the 36-year-old Oscar-winning actor and the 13-year-old _Stranger Things_ star looking strikingly similar made the rounds. The original tweet has been retweeted 902 times as of Friday, spread on the wings of all the people who agree the resemblance is uncanny. Some users are suggesting the two distinct people have simply morphed together. Others have put forth a very different, very reasonable explanation: the entertainment industry clones stars. So what to do with this development? Fans are already clamoring for Brown to make her debut in a [_Star Wars_](http://time.com/5063406/star-wars-character-quiz/) prequel. But hopefully this new revelation means that Portman can one day play adult Eleven if there’s ever a 20th season of _Stranger Things_. > [](https://twitter.com/jansantaliz/status/953089226190589952) > [](https://twitter.com/dcstinancy/status/953213130758385664) > [](https://twitter.com/shylachney/status/954350172447936517) > [](https://twitter.com/gracektum/status/953967462797791232) > [](https://twitter.com/mellow947/status/954270371305242624) > [](https://twitter.com/karianagrand/status/953331617359163392) > [](https://twitter.com/kezhialacson/status/953970931193409538) > [](https://twitter.com/gulapulp/status/953984183612858368) The internet can be life-affirming. > [](https://twitter.com/crossbaylon/status/954001234800754688) > [](https://twitter.com/TaylorCelestee/status/954081423366881280) > [](https://twitter.com/AlleeGoodfellow/status/954084350148136960) > [](https://twitter.com/vaderstyles/status/953983080565415938) > [](https://twitter.com/Dminikov/status/954014729877438464) But don’t forget about Indiana’s realest. > [](https://twitter.com/deviousjourney/status/954163729763008512) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5109471/millie-bobby-brown-lookalike-natalie-portman/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5109471/millie-bobby-brown-lookalike-natalie-portman/"},"headline":"The Internet Found Millie Bobby Brown's Lookalike and She's a Young Natalie Portman","datePublished":"2018-01-19T14:23:28.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:52.517Z","description":"The internet discovered that breakout Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown looks a lot like a young Natalie Portman","url":"https://time.com/5109471/millie-bobby-brown-lookalike-natalie-portman/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","natalie portman","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt43229628127141f7/6988f8c9929fad2d3abef485/gettyimages-903518242.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt43229628127141f7/6988f8c9929fad2d3abef485/gettyimages-903518242.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"75th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals","caption":"75th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Arrivals","creditText":"Axelle/Bauer-Griffin—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5109471/millie-bobby-brown-lookalike-natalie-portman/","name":"The Internet Found Millie Bobby Brown's Lookalike and She's a Young Natalie Portman"}}]}] ```
