In this weekend's The Age of Adaline, Blake Lively plays an ageless woman, but she's not the only star who gets a fake fountain of youth treatment. Harrison Ford plays an old friend of Adaline's, and when we flash back to the younger version of his character, William, meeting Adaline, you'll swear it's really Harrison Ford 40 years ago. But it's not — it's up-and-coming star Anthony Ingruber, who looks and sounds so much like Ford it's mind-boggling. Turns out, Ingruber has been doing impressions of celebrities on YouTube for years, not limited to just Ford. Here's what you need to know about the Harrison Ford sound-alike and the videos you need to see.

And Here He Is in The Age of Adaline
He plays William, a young man who meets Adaline (Blake Lively) in the 1960s . . . and then grows up to be Harrison Ford.
Here's His Harrison Ford Impression
In 2008, Ingruber uploaded this video of himself imitating Ford as Han Solo, which led to his casting in The Age of Adaline. In an interview at the movie's premiere, Ingruber revealed that director Lee Toland Krieger found his YouTube channel and emailed him about the part in The Age of Adaline.

The Resemblance Is Uncanny
Director Krieger posted this Instagram of Ingruber on the left alongside a vintage picture of Ford, and in the caption of a video of Ingruber on his account, Krieger happily noted that several people who have screened the film have mistaken Ingruber's performance for a digital re-creation of young Harrison Ford!
He Does Other Impressions, Too
In another of Ingruber's videos, he imitates the voices of several celebrities, like Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, and Michael Caine.
