The real Kate Moss was reportedly unimpressed with her lookalike's runway antics.

Kate Moss’ lookalike caused confusion among runway fans Monday at a Paris Fashion Week show, but she’s not the only celebrity who looks alike.

The legendary British supermodel was reportedly not a fan of the antics of Denise Ohnona, who has made a career impersonating Kate.

However, Denise ‘Fake Moss’, 43, from Lancashire, is not alone in the world of celebrity clones.

Those lucky enough to look like a well-known star may suddenly discover their similarities when they are stopped on the street by adoring fans.

Some maintain their celebrity appearance as a peculiar fact of their existence.

Others have taken advantage of it, becoming professional stuntmen in advertisements, charity events and photo shoots.

But can you tell the difference between a real celebrity and a fake one?
