A Minnesota woman has the internet and passersby doing double takes with her mind-blowing similarities to actress Megan Fox, showing off an identical pink pout, piercing blue eyes, and raven hair that have many thinking the two could be twins.
Laboratory technician Bethany Anya, 26, fills her social media with selfies and professional shots of her mastered kissing face smolder and fans of her celebrity-esque looks fawn over her intensely dark brows, wispy lashes, and over pronounced cupids bow.
Her 16,000 followers are so geeked, nearly all of her photos reveal unconvinced fans who write, ‘that’s Megan Fox’ on her photos. But the artist, although flattered, believes her look is completely her own.
Twins! Bethany Anya, 26, suddenly skyrocketed to internet fame when fans and passerby gave her doubletakes for her nearly identical appearance to Transformers actress Megan Fox
Good genes: The Minnesota artist shares dark high-arched brows, blue eyes, wispy lashes, a thin nose, and a classic pink pout in common with the sex-icon actress
Foxy lady: The laboratory technician and sketch artist reveals that she is flattered and sees some similarity but said ‘I resemble myself’
‘It’s very flattering; I see it from time to time but I mostly just think I resemble myself,’ Bethany revealed.
But the young beauty appreciates the similarity and has posted images of the Transformers actress onto her Instagram with the captions ‘classic’ to share her fandom for the Tennessee star. She even takes noted from Megan’s poses for her own photo shoots.
‘I have gotten comments that I look like her but I’m a much taller version with many more tattoos. I’m a little apathetic about it but it’s always nice to be compared to someone so lovely,’ Bethany shared.
The scientist even noted out, if there is a similarity, it’s mostly rooted in Megan’s look from her 2009 horror film Jennifer’s Body, where Fox plays a possessed high school student who slays her classmates.
‘I think she is incredibly smart and witty, way more than people give her credit for. She tends to get brought up just for her looks but she’s certainly much more than a beautiful woman,’ she added.
Perfect pout: When placed side by side the similarity between the two is undeniable
Blue-eyed gal: Even slight side profiles of the two match up under a curtain of raven hair
Celeb-approved glam: Bethany reveals, however, she only spends 15-20 minutes on make-up
However the social media star reveals that she really wants Instagram to be a place to showcase her art, not her looks.
‘It’s gotten my art more attention and that is ultimately what I want to use Instagram for but unfortunately in this day and age, being a pretty face gets you more noticed than your talent does, but I’d like to change that,’ she said.
Nevertheless the dopppleganger’s following has exposed her art to new audiences and Bethany is glowing with the awareness her gothic sketches and Hollywood and superhero-inspired pieces are getting.
‘When I’m not in the laboratory; I’m painting, drawing or spending time with my amazing friends,’ she shared.
‘I’m incredibly blessed to have the things I have in life and being compared to Megan is just an added bonus,’ Bethany added.
Strike a pose: In a photoshoot, above, Bethany even poses similarly to the actress, who she occasionally posts on her Instagram as beauty inspiration
Insta-famous: The young beauty, above dressed in costume, has amassed 16,000 fans for her uncanny Fox-y photos
Twinning: Bethany revealed that a positive outcome of the online flattery is the attention it has brought to not just her selfies, above, but also to her paintings and sketches that she posts
Despite her megawatt-looks, Bethany can’t be bothered with intense make-up routines and reveals she only spends around 15 minutes every morning on her make-up and wardrobe routines.
‘I usually wear black basic clothes as I work most of the time and haven’t got time to dress up,’ she revealed.
‘On make-up, I spend about twenty-five dollars a month give or take and take around 15 to 20 minutes applying it every morning,’ Bethany confessed.
‘I’m a minimalist when it comes to my look and fashion. I might splurge on a bright red lipstick but that’s about as dramatic as I get,’ she said.
But with Megan Fox-esque genes like hers, her low-key beauty routine makes complete sense.
