US senator posts selfie with ‘doppelgaenger’ German Chancellor Olaf Scholz

US Senator Chris Coons posted a selfie on Friday with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in which they share a shockingly striking resemblance.
The photo, posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows the two men with nearly identical greying hair, middle-aged baldness, and a remarkably similar smile.
Coons and Scholz also share the same relative age – 60 and 65 respectively – and the same relative height – about 5ft 7in.

“Wer ist wer?” the 60-year-old American Democrat tweeted, which is German for “who is who.”
Scholz tweeted out another picture, writing instead: “Great to see my Doppelgänger again – @ChrisCoons!”
Coons met Scholz at the German ambassador’s residence in Washington on Thursday evening.

The German chancellor was in the US capital for a scheduled meeting with President Joe Biden to encourage support for Ukraine.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed published on Thursday, Scholz wrote: “Others around the world are watching closely to see whether these divisions can be exploited.”

“We must prove them wrong by convincing citizens on both sides of the Atlantic that a Russian victory would make the world a far more dangerous place.”
