They're literally identical.
If you've already sat down to watch Alex Strangelove on Netflix, then you're probably still gagging over the Panic! At The Disco joke or wondering what the hell that polyamory comment was about. Well, now people have pointed out that the lead actor looks SO similar to one of our favourites actors and, honestly, once you've seen it, you can't unsee it.
Netflix's new LGBTQ teen film follows Alex, played by Daniel Doheny, who's on a mission to lose his virginity to his girlfriend Claire, played by Madeline Weinstein. There's just one small problem: Alex is gay.
Alex Strangelove: Every Song On The Soundtrack
Before Alex Strangelove, Daniel wasn't very well known, having only a handful of acting credits to his name, including a small part in one episode of Supernatural. Now he's getting a lot more exposure, and people are starting to realise he looks incredibly similar to Andrew Garfield.
Did the casting director for #AlexStrangelove say 'we need to find a young Andrew Garfield' because NAILED IT! pic.twitter.com/sr1FYLoBr8

Someone give the casting director a pay rise.
Wait, I’m confused. Andrew Garfield just won a Tony but now he’s in a Netflix original movie called ALEX STRANGELOVE? It’s not bad. It’s just....okay.

I mean, has anyone taken a DNA sample from them both yet?
Andrew Garfield and Daniel Doheny need to play brothers in a film because their resemblance is ridiculous! #AlexStrangelove pic.twitter.com/StcZqW8qrs

This idea is making us THIRSTY.
The guy who plays the lead could totally play Andrew Garfield's brother in a movie!! I take full credit if this ever actually happens! #AlexStrangelove #DanielDoheny pic.twitter.com/gv17x8ogsg
