Earlier this year, the internet pretty much lost it's mind when it came across 22-year-old model Iza IJzerman who is, hands down, the best Gigi Hadid lookalike we've ever seen.

However, it appears the Californian model isn't the only A-list celebrity with a Twilight-zone-lookalike twin in the world as fans of her boyfriend, Zayn Malik, are now in shock after coming across a Turkish actor who apparently looks identical to the crooner.

An actor called Burak Deniz, who stars in Turkey's version of Shameless and Pretty Little Liars, is widely thought to be Malik's doppelgänger given his high cheekbones, jet-black hair and stubble.

Much like the Bradford-born star, the 27-year-old actor has graced the cover of numerous internationally renowned magazines and enjoys posing for moody black-and-white photographs.

Unsurprisingly, Zayn's fans have taken to Twitter to react in shock to the news there might be two Maliks out there.

We must admit, other than the hair and beard, we can't see much of a resemblance - can you?
