You’ve heard of Nine Perfect Strangers — now get ready for our pitch for Hulu‘s follow-up series, two perfect doppelgängers. Fans of the new drama series are taking to Twitter to express their confusion over one of the show’s stars who looks a lot like a familiar face. Grace Van Patten, who stars as a daughter of two of the show’s main characters, is Shailene Woodley‘s lookalike.
But are the two related? Well, we know they share one common thread: Nicole Kidman, who leads both Nine Perfect Strangers and Woodley’s Big Little Lies. Maybe the two are sisters, and Kidman met Van Patten on set of the HBO series, helping her get a turn in Nine Perfect Strangers. No, that’s not actually the case here — but Van Patten does have some interesting ties to the industry.
Are Van Patten and Woodley related at all? Who is Grace Van Patten, and what else have we seen her in? Here’s everything we know about the doppelgängers:
Who is Grace Van Patten on Nine Perfect Strangers?
Grace Van Patten is a star in Hulu’s Nine Perfect Strangers, in which she plays Zoe Marconi. Zoe is the daughter of Napoleon (Michael Shannon) and Heather (Asher Keddie), a couple grieving the loss of their son. She’s also in mourning, as she’s lost her closest confidant in life: her twin brother.
Van Patten is a star of both films and TV, with roles in hits like Maniac, Boardwalk Empire, and The Sopranos. Coming up soon, she’ll star alongside Mia Goth in the Sundance action drama Mayday.
How old is Grace Van Patten?
Van Patten is 24 years old and is from New York City
Is Grace Van Patten related to Shailene Woodley?
While fans were adamant that Grace Van Patten looks like Shailene Woodley, it turns out that their resemblance is just a coincidence, not a shared family tree. Don’t believe us? Van Patten comes from a long line of celebs, including her director father Tim Van Patten (who directed episodes of The Sopranos, Sex and the City, and Black Mirror) and uncle Dick Van Patten (star of Spaceballs, Westworld, and Soylent Green).
Woodley, who recently wed football pro Aaron Rodgers, only has a younger brother. Her acting chops are fresh, with a mother who is currently a school counselor.
