John Legend’s lookalike, Talakai, on The Voice, had the judge almost falling off his chair. The singer has revealed he’s the coach’s “long lost twin” after they came face-to-face in the singing competition. John Legend said, “I’m looking at myself!” in response to his doppelganger on The Voice. Meet Talakai…

As The Voice coaches start to fill up their spaces, John Legend is joined by Talakai on his team. It might be a little tricky to tell the two apart though, because Talakai is the spitting image of his coach. Fans are convinced they must be related and pose the idea of long-lost twins.

John Legend’s lookalike on The Voice

John Legend pressed his button on The Voice to come face-to-face with his doppelganger. He described his lookalike, Talakai, as a “taller, more handsome version” of him.”

Most of the time, John gets sent pictures of people who apparently look like him, but he usually doesn’t agree. However, he even admits that Talakai “legitimately looks like him” with the same haircut.

And luckily for Talakai on The Voice, John “loves the richness and tone” of his voice. “I know for sure you have the ability to be so great on this show,” the coach told the contestant.

Doppelganger jokes he’s judge’s ‘twin’

Talakai used to sing John Legend’s Ordinary People down the hallway all the time, and often gets called the singer’s lookalike. And his Instagram bio jokes that he’s John’s “doppelganger and long-lost twin.”

Fans are convinced the two are related. When trying to choose between Reba McEntire or John as his coach, Legend shouted, “Your family.” He also added: “One of the most handsome men I’ve ever seen.”

John told the cameras: “I’ve got my twin on my side and honestly, I think we’re going to have a lot of fun together.” The undeniably similar faces even captured a selfie on the special night.
