Five years her junior, Hathaway shares the same almond shaped brown eyes, pronounced eyebrows and porcelain skin as Clooney’s love interest.

Fans of the 52-year-old newly engaged Clooney took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the similarities between the two beauties.

E! News correspondent Giuliani Rancic saw Alamuddin is a slightly different light, writing on the social media site, “George Clooney's new woman Amal Alamuddin looks like a hybrid of Mr. Bean & Anne Hathaway.”

Shocked fans

Besides sharing a physical resemblance, that’s where similarities between the two women end.

While actress Hathaway studied women’s studies at Vassar College, Alamuddin is an Oxford and NYU law graduate and former United Nations consultant.

Fans were shocked when reports circulated on Sunday that the Gravity star had gotten engaged to his rumored girlfriend of only six months.

Clooney, 52, has had a string of younger model and actress girlfriends over the years but had shown little interest in settling down.

Since Clooney’s divorce in 1995, he has been apathetic at best at the idea of getting married again.

In an interview following the end of his first marriage, he told Barbara Walter that he wouldn’t get married again because he “wasn’t very good at it.”

As recent as 2012, Clooney told The Hollywood Reporter marriage was something he did not even think about.
