Online gallery showcases people accidentally cosplaying

Over the past decade cosplaying has become a phenomenon, with die-hard fans spending weeks creating costumes to resemble their heroes. 

However, the effective results achieved in these photos required no effort whatsoever – as they occurred entirely by accident.   

The gallery compiled by BoredPanda features people who look remarkably like famous faces from pop culture. 

The line up includes a bus driver that bears a striking resemblance to Breaking Bad’s Heisenberg, a commuter who could have stepped straight off the set of Kill Bill – and even an Albert Einstein lookalike.   

It isn’t just humans that feature, with one homeowner pointing out their sink pipe’s resemblance to the Lion King’s Rafiki, and a plastic bag carrier likened to the Star Wars character Jar Jar Binks.

A gallery compiled by BoredPanda reveals people who have unintentionally cosplayed, with this taxi driver in New York appearing more than happy to be compared to Albert Einstein
