Laura Dern shares snap of dog ‘doppelganger’

Laura Dern showed her sense of humour when she shared a picture of a dog that people have said is her spitting image.

A picture of a pampered looking Maltipoo has been doing the rounds online, after a Twitter user posted it, saying: “This dog looks like Laura Dern.”

Dern spotted it and shared it with her own social media followers, joking that the dog could have taken her role in hit television drama Big Little Lies.

She wrote: “Should she have played Renata in Big Little Lies?!”

Plenty of fans have posted messages online about the apparent likeness between Dern and Kimchee the dog. “Can you even tell them apart?” one person asked jokingly, while another said: “Omg! Her doppelganger!”
