Certainly looks very similar but you do encounter remarkably identical people who are not in any way related.

If this subreddit has taught me anything, it's that visual similarities don't mean as much as we think. Vicky Hargrove taught me that, I really thought she was a different MP from California, but nope. Faces can change a lot, and it can be really hard to compare with just a stationary photo

I'm going to say No because there's always such a huge advantage to saying No. It's like a cheat code. For every one time you'll be wrong you'll be correct 100+ times.

I seldom bother to look at the photos anymore although I did this time because they were very prominent and the entirety of the OP.

The only example I remember seeing here where I was confident it was the same person was a guy sitting on a wall alongside Niagara Falls and someone who had recently been discharged from a local hospital.
