Daniel Radcliffe asked an important question on last night’s Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

Radcliffe, 26, and Fallon, 41, looked through a series of historical photographs that resembled the Harry Potter actor. The images were originally shared by users on Reddit, and range from a young man going off to war, to those of serious-looking women. In response to the collection of images, Radcliffe was surprised that there so many similarities, “There’s a lot of people in the past who I look like, it turns out,” the actor told Fallon. “What is it about me that I look like so many stern old ladies?” And yes, this is a question we would like to know the answer to, too!

As if looking through the images wasn’t funny enough, Fallon had the brilliant idea of getting Radcliffe to dress up like one of his look-alikes. Fallon got Radcliffe to put on a big ’70s wig to match one of the photographs. The host also joined in on the fun by dressing up like one of his own doppelgängers: a long haired, mustached rock star. The results are hilarious!
