Amy Adams and Isla Fisher. Jessica Chastain and Bryce Dallas Howard. Margot Robbie and Jaime Pressly. Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel. The list goes on and on when it comes to celebs who bear a striking resemblance to another famous person, and now, thanks to the current season of RuPaul's Drag Race, we have another entry to the list: Sex Education star Asa Butterfield and season 12 queen Aiden Zhane.

When the 29-year-old, Georgia-based drag performer made her debut on the second premiere of season 12 of Drag Race last week, many fans on Twitter were quick to point out that out of drag, Aiden looks a lot (and we really mean a lot) like the 22-year-old British actor Asa Butterfield from the Netflix favorite Sex Education.

There was so much buzz online that Asa himself even chimed in on the resemblance.

"S3 Spoilers," he tweeted, jokingly alluding to the series' upcoming, recently-announced third season.

So does this mean we'll be seeing Asa on the Drag Race UK judges panel sometime soon?!? Or maybe Ru can make have a cameo spot on Sex Education?!? We're sure fans would be fine with either!

Season 1 & 2 of Sex Education are streaming now on Netflix.
