Kate Winslet & Stunt Double Sarah Franzl – Titanic

If you watched the iconic Titanic film, then you would remember how hard it must’ve been for Kate Winslet to spend hours acting soaked in water. The truth is, her life was made easier by her stunt double Sarah Franzl. They have similar facial structures, and they sported the same hair color while filming.

Witherspoon posted a photo with her double on Instagram back in 2018, and everyone went crazy about how much they were twinning. She has a new Legally Blonde sequel coming up, but it’s unclear if Lessley will still be her double in the film. It’s likely, though, since she’s doubled for her in five films already.
