On Thursday, all eyes were on Australian swimmer Kyle Chalmers after he won the gold medal in the 100m freestyle final at the Rio Olympics.
But viewers were quick to notice that the 18-year-old champ had a very familiar face… specifically, the face of X-Men: Apocalypse star Nicholas Hoult!
Fans flocked to Twitter to point out the uncanny resemblance between Chalmers and Jennifer Lawrence‘s ex-boyfriend.

Though the Aussie athlete is almost a decade younger than the 26-year-old Brit, we have to say they do look strikingly similar!
Let’s hope Kyle has some sort of poignant yet inspiring Olympian backstory, because we already know who would play him in the biopic! LOLz!
Ch-ch-check out the best reactions from Twitter users (below)!
