Taron Egerton and Robert Patrick—what’s the deal? Fans can’t stop talking about how much Egerton looks like Patrick, especially the latter in his legendary T-1000 days from ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day.’ It’s like they could be time-traveling twins or something. The buzz around this has really taken off, and Egerton’s recent role in ‘Carry-On’ is only adding fuel to the fire.
In the Netflix thriller, Egerton plays Ethan Kopek, a TSA agent caught in a web of manipulation, forced to let a dangerous package slip past airport security during the chaotic holiday season. While the movie has everyone hooked with its edge-of-your-seat plot, let’s be real—what’s really blowing people’s minds is just how eerily similar Egerton looks to Robert Patrick. Seriously, someone needs to check if there’s a secret cloning lab involved!

Reddit’s buzzing with chatter about how much these two actors resemble each other, and honestly, the comments are gold. One fan confessed, “I found this page literally because I searched ‘Robert Patrick Taron Egerton.’ Watching Carry-On, my first thought was, ‘Wow, Egerton looks like a young Robert Patrick from T2!’” Another jumped in with, “He even runs the same way. The running! SPOOKY.”
The resemblance is so wild that people legit thought there had to be a family connection. One user said, “I thought he had to be Robert Patrick’s son or something!” And someone else was like, “Literally had to look up if Taron was Robert Patrick’s kid because the likeness was uncanny in that TSA uniform.” Reddit detectives, you’re on to something!
