Doppelgängers might be incredibly rare, but they're nothing new. Even celebrity doppelgängers pop up now and again.

But having people repeatedly tell you you're the doppelgänger for a Pixar character? That has to be way less common.

Earlier in the week, 19-year-old kitchen porter Joshua Carpenter-Jones from the UK shared the following selfie on Reddit's r/pics sub.

In case you need reminding, here's a picture of Linguini from Ratatouille:

It's definitely the hair that does it.

“I wore the chefs hat and whites when they put me on desserts service, and they loved it even more because they said I looked even more like Linguini,” Carpenter-Jones told Storyful.

With 174,000 upvotes, it looks like Reddit loved it too.

This man clearly has a bright future ahead.
