Lindsay Lohan gave a stellar performance in The Parent Trap playing twins when she was just a child, but she's not the only Hollywood star who has had to double the workload over the years, having to play twin characters.
This week, Tom Hardy was spotted on set of biopic The Krays, in character as one of the infamous East London gangsters, complete with crooked teeth and side-swept hair.
Only, the Dark Knight Rises star will have extra lines to learn and another character to channel as he's been roped in to play both of the twins. Tricky, right?
Well, he's got plenty of past movies to look to for inspiration as the following actors have also had to double up at some point in their careers...
