One of Selena Gomez's Doppelganger's Didn't Actually Know Who She Was At First!

Selena Gomez has a lot of look-a-likes – like, so, so many.

However, one stands apart from the others a little more, and that’s Erika Montates.

The 23-year-old Mexican student opened up to Daily Mail in a new video about her likeness to the 25-year-old singer and actress and revealed that she didn’t actually know who Selena was when the comparison was first made.

“When I was in high school, a friend told me ‘hey! You look like Selena Gomez’ and I was like, ‘Who?’ And he kept saying it, so I searched her, and I was like ‘OK we do look a little bit alike,’” Erika shared.

That comment led her to follow Selena on social media and look up to her as a role model.

“People have been telling me I look like her since I was fifteen, so I started to follow her at that age and she has since became my role model,” Erika adds. “I feel flattered, I think she’s so beautiful and an incredible human being. I love her.”

There are times when people come up to her, confusing her for Selena, too.

“It’s funny because some of them look surprised when they ask me if I’m Selena and I say no; they either just walk away or take pictures with me,” she shared. “…even when I went to San Diego, California, people kept staring at me and some of them asked me if I was her—that was crazy.”
