Immediately following Caitlyn Jenner’s big reveal on the cover of Vanity Fair, people began making comparisons to her lookalikes in Hollywood.

The verdict was swift: Caitlyn, the Internet mob has decided, is a doppelganger for Academy-Award winner Jessica Lange.

Speaking to Lange over the phone, The Daily Beast broke the news to the Academy-Award winning actress that she was trending on Twitter. Her response: “What does that mean?”

Apparently, Lange had no idea what “trending” meant. After The Daily Beast writer gave her a quick lesson in “Twitter 101,” explaining “this was a good comparison, as the overwhelming response is how beautiful Jenner looks on the cover,” Lange simply responded: “Oh really?” That’s so wonderful. Well now I’m going to have to look for that picture.”

Social media burned up on Monday with responses to the Annie Leibovitz shoot — and Jenner’s resemblance to Lange.

“Plot twist: Caitlyn is Jessica,” one Twitter fan wrote. Another congratulated Jenner for her “transition into Lange,” adding, “Seriously, congrats. You look fantastic.”
