In the glitzy world of Hollywood, unexpected celebrity lookalikes can emerge, and this time, it’s none other than makeup mogul Kylie Jenner and acclaimed actor Cillian Murphy. A tweet comparing the two stars went viral over the weekend, leaving fans in splits over the uncanny resemblance between the reality star and the Peaky Blinders actor.
Both Kylie Jenner, 26, and Cillian Murphy, 47, graced the 2024 Golden Globes, each photographed with beaming smiles as they enjoyed the star-studded event from their respective tables. Little did they know that a single tweet would set social media abuzz with hilarious comparisons.
The tweet that started it all humorously declared, “Someone said Kylie looks like Cillian Murphy and now I can’t unsee it.” Fans quickly joined the fun, pointing out similarities in their “cheeks and smile,” with one user even suggesting they looked like “siblings” due to the way they smiled.
Another fan chimed in, exclaiming, “She DOES! Now I can’t unsee it,” while someone else playfully referred to them as “twins” followed by a laughing emoji. The internet has spoken, and the verdict is clear: Kylie Jenner and Cillian Murphy have become the unexpected twins of the celebrity world.
Meanwhile, the Golden Globes night was not just about lookalike comparisons; it also witnessed romantic moments between other celebrity couples. Timothee Chalamet, the 28-year-old Wonka star, brought his girlfriend Kylie as his date, adding a dash of PDA during a commercial break. The couple, dating since early 2023, couldn’t hide their affection, with an onlooker describing their interaction as “puppy dog love, like high school.”
Kylie, stunning in a black sequin and lace backless dress, held hands with Timothee, who donned a matching black sequined suit. The couple’s relationship became more public after they attended Beyoncé’s concert together, marking a shift from Kylie’s previous relationships with rappers.
The unexpected romance sparked intrigue and disbelief among fans, with some questioning if it was a prank. However, the Golden Globes served as a platform for the couple to showcase their love, proving that their relationship is no hoax.
Amid the lighthearted banter and romantic moments, the Golden Globes itself underwent significant changes behind the scenes. A Los Angeles Times report in 2021 revealed a lack of diversity within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), which led to a boycott and NBC refusing to air the awards in 2022.
In the aftermath, the HFPA implemented reforms, adding journalists of color to its ranks. After a one-year probationary agreement with NBC, the Golden Globes returned in January 2023. However, a major shakeup occurred in June when billionaire Todd Boehly acquired the HFPA’s assets, dissolving the association and transforming the awards into a for-profit venture.
The 81st Golden Globe Awards, hosted by comedian Jo Koy, marked a new chapter for the event, with CBS airing the ceremony on January 7, and streaming on Paramount+. The diverse group of over 300 people nominating and voting for the awards reflected a positive shift toward inclusivity in Hollywood.
As the glittering night unfolded with unexpected twinning moments, viral tweets, and love in the air, the Golden Globes showcased the ever-evolving landscape of the entertainment industry, setting the stage for a more inclusive and vibrant future.
