Scarlett Johansson Has A 72-Year-Old Doppelgänger And She’s Literally Her Spitting Image
The actress and her lookalike will 'meet at the bar' of the Rough Night film premiere.
Scarlett Johansson is one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she’s not the only one who looks like that. It’s recently come to light that the actress’s doppelgänger is actually a 72-year-old woman called Geraldine Dodd.
Last week, a Reddit user called ‘Denver’ uploaded a photo of his grandma Geraldine to the social networking site in a post titled “My Grandma Looked Like Scarlett Johansson When She Was Younger”.
The image has been viewed over a million times already – which Geraldine probably didn’t expect when she took the snap in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1967.
Once Scarlett saw the uncanny resemblance, she sent out a video invite to Grandma Geraldine asking her to accompany her to a film premiere.
“This video is for Grandma Geraldine,” the 32-year-old said, “Geraldine, I have been absolutely inundated with emails and messages about how much we look alike, and I had to look at the photo myself. Holy crap! I want to meet you in person, I saw that you were ‘drunk as a skunk’ when taking that photo, and I would like to see your drunk face. I wanna share a drunk face with you! Let’s have a drink, Geraldine.
“Do you want to come to see Rough Night with me? Be my guest? We’re a bunch of partying girls, so it’s a good running theme, and I’ll cover all of your hidden costs. I’ll see you at the bar – be there, or be square.”
Geraldine told Time, “I’m not going to be square. I’m going to drink with her and see if I can drink her under the table. She has got to remember to take it easy on me. I’m 40 years older than her.”
This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
