The Crown, Scam 1992, Dahmer: 5 web shows that cast the perfect lookalike for dramas based on true events

Elizabeth Debicki has left fans and royal experts "breathless" with her portrayal of the late Princess Diana in the recently released 5th season of the streaming show 'The Crown'. While Elizabeth is winning praise for her stellar act in the series, here are some other actors who proved to be the perfect lookalike cast in dramas based on true events. Take a look...

2/6

The Crown

Elizabeth Debicki is all anyone (who watched Season 5 of 'The Crown') is talking about. The actress, who plays the role of Princess Diana in the latest season of the Emmy Winning show, scooped up rave reviews not just for her spitting resemblance to the late Princess, but also for nailing her mannerisms. While some were left double-checking clips to see if it was indeed Debicki or Diana, others were left 'breathless' and 'shaken' by her stellar act.

Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story

Although mired in controversy, the Evans Peters starrer 'Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' became Netflix's most-watched series of all time. The limited series ruled the popularity charts, prompting the makers to return with two more seasons on the story of one of America's most notorious serial killers who took the lives of over 17 men between 1978 and 1991. He was sentenced to 16 life terms.

Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story

Pratik Gandhi won praise for his role as Harshad Mehta in 'Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story', based on the true story of the stockbroker who led the stock market to dizzying heights before its collapse. Set in 1980's and 90's Bombay, the series followed Mehta's rags-to-riches story till financial journalist Sucheta Dalal exposed him as the man behind India's biggest financial scam.

5/6

Pam and Tommy

Fans could not believe their eyes when the first look pictures of Lily James and Sebastian Stan from the limited series 'Pam & Tommy' dropped online. The comedic limited series is based on the true story behind the release of the first-ever viral video in history — Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's sex tape.

6/6

The Girl From Plainville

Elle Fanning physically transformed into Michelle Carter to bring the first 'texting suicide' case to screens. 'The Girl From Plainville' narrated the story of Carter, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter, following a lengthy and highly publicised trial. Given its subject matter, the case caught the attention of the world and raised questions surrounding mental health, free speech and definitions of crime.
