Man Meets An Identical Stranger On A Ryanair Flight And Twitter Is Going Crazy

This is pretty creepy... Two almost identical men boarded the same Ryanair flight this week in what is the latest of a sequence of uncanny lookalike stories. Scottsman Neil Thomas Douglas was travelling to Ireland with the low cost airline when he bumped into the man who is his mirror image. Lee Beattie posted a snap of the pair side by side to Twitter, writing: "Guy on right is the husband of my friend. Guy on left is a STRANGER he met on a flight last night!"

Of course Twitter went mental, with some eagle eyed users noticing the amazing photobomber in the background...

Others were more interested in the aesthetic of the men in question...

Some were accusatory...

@leebeattie @smavincent @elrottencrotch It looks like the father has got some explaining to do, the #naughtylittleman ?

@leebeattie @BarkingMadGC @elrottencrotch These guys need to have a serious talk with their mums. — hashhag (@vviivviieennnne) October 30, 2015

And others were just generally amused:

@leebeattie @elrottencrotch Wow, they have to be related.
