We never saw such perfectly matched younger versions of the main characters.

With a great movie comes great responsibility for casting calls. Casting plays a crucial role in the success of a movie or television series.

The lead actor can capture the hearts of the audience or become their biggest disappointment.

But it becomes even more impressive when casting directors manage to find little talented actors who perfectly resemble their older counterparts and leave the audience speechless.

Here are 7 times when young actors made us doubt the possibility of time travel.

1. Armen Nahapetian and Joaquin Phoenix as Beau (Beau Is Afraid)

Hold on, hold on. Take the photos of Armen Nahapetian and Joaquin Phoenix at the same age and put them side by side.

How is it even possible to find a child that looks exactly like you at your younger age? It's brilliant and terrifying at the same time. Ari Aster, you're a goddamn genius.

2. Sophie Nélisse and Melanie Lynskey as Shauna (Yellowjackets )

We still can't believe that Sophie Nélisse didn't actually come from the 90s as a young version of Melanie. The same deep dark eyes, voluminous brown curls, charming smile. These two must be definitely related.

3. Kyra Adler and Sydney Sweeney as Cassie (Euphoria )

In fact, all the young representatives of the main cast were mind-blowing. But look at little Kyra, she is exactly the same as Sydney.

All these similarities between the two actresses make our jaws drop on the floor.

4. Lulu Wilson and Elizabeth Reaser as Shirley (Haunting Of Hill House)

How are these two different people? Not only does Lulu Wilson bear an undeniable resemblance to Elizabeth, but she's also managed to perfectly embody the quietly haughty character of the older Crain sibling.

She also kind of looks like the younger Pam from The Office, don't you think?

5. Nikki Roumel and Brianne Howey as Georgia (Ginny & Georgia)

No one could portray a teenage version of fierce, determined, and passionate Georgia like Nikki.

Her blonde hair, charming smile, and Southern accent make the connection between the younger and adult versions of the character so strong, and the differences so subtle, that you might actually believe you are looking at the same person.

6. Mckenna Grace and Kiernan Shipka as Sabrina (The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina)

McKenna Grace proves time and time again that she can nail any role that is given to her. We don't know what kind of witchcraft it is, but her ability to shapeshift into any role, both in appearance and character, is mind-blowing.

7. Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones As Agent K (Man In Black)

Josh Brolin's portrayal of a younger version of Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K in the third installment of the iconic action comedy was nothing short of uncanny.

First, Josh perfectly captured the dry wit and deadpan delivery that made Jones' performance so beloved.

Second, just look at them, they are literally the same person. Does this mean there are aliens among us?
