Courteney Cox Responds to Being Mistaken for Caitlyn Jenner in a Recent Picture on Instagram
Courteney Cox responded on Instagram after fans mistook her for Caitlyn Jenner in a recent photo with David Spade and former Bachelor Nick Viall.

Celebrity doppelgängers: We all have them. Even actual celebrities.
Friends alum Courteney Cox recently learned that her famous doppelgänger is none other than Caitlyn Jenner.
Here's how this revelation came to be:
You see, after the barrage of comments on Spade's share of the group pic, Cox took to her own Instagram to weigh in.
"@davidspade posted this pic, now I really didn’t think I looked like myself but this was surprising....," she wrote in the caption of her post, a gallery of images that quickly and perfectly summarize the situation.
In the gallery post, Cox shared three images: First, the original selfie that Spade had shared. Next, a screenshot (with user names tastefully blacked out because Monica Geller is conscientious and classy IRL, too) of several of the comments pointing out how much she looked like Jenner. Finally a side-by-side picture of herself and Jenner, captioned, "Alright...I can see it."

As doppelgängers go, you could do a lot worse than a former Olympian and cultural icon like Jenner.
