A woman who constantly gets mistaken for Amanda Bynes – with even the Hollywood star herself left amazed at their resemblance – is leaving fans nostalgic as they say they “miss” the star’s old look.
Vicsvendetta is a dead ringer for what Bynes during her prime acting years, with her transformation since then having been well-documented.
Over the years, the 29-year-old could easily have been mistaken for being the movie star’s twin.

Now, Vicsvendetta spends her days sharing videos with her 24,000 followers, posing as some of Bynes’ most iconic characters.
And she claims the content has even reached the star herself.
“I started getting compared to Amanda Bynes when I was around six or seven years old, and I’ve probably heard it over a thousand times throughout my life,” Vicsvendetta, who lives in the US but doesn’t want to share a specific location, told What’s The Jam.
“Honestly, I’ve never thought much of it.
“Then a few months ago, after joining TikTok, I kept seeing the same comment repeatedly.

“That’s when I decided to make a simple comparison video – and it unexpectedly took off.
“I haven’t met Amanda.
“While it would obviously be exciting to meet such an influential actress, I think her privacy and boundaries are incredibly important.

“She’s interacted with some of my content online, and honestly, that was more than enough for me.
“If we ever did meet, I think it would be a great moment – but there’s no pressure around that.”
Amanda Bynes was the face of children’s TV in the late ’90s and early 2000s after rising to fame on Nickelodeon.
She went on to star in hit films such as She’s The Man, Sydney White and What A Girl Wants.
Despite the 39-year-old leaving the limelight after years of public controversies, Vicsvendetta is now painting her in a positive light with her light-hearted lookalike content.
Her latest video racked up a whopping 974,000 views and over 49,500 likes.
The content creator is constantly flooded with comments of fans reminiscing on their favourite kids’ programmes, such as The Amanda Show.
She said: “I think part of why this content resonates so deeply is because the late ’90s and early 2000s felt like a much simpler time for a lot of people.
“That era holds a kind of innocence and comfort that feels especially precious now.
“At its core, this nostalgia isn’t just about characters or pop culture – it’s about reconnecting with that feeling and with each other.
“Knowing that something I created might have made her [Bynes] smile really confirms that this is meant to be fun and nostalgic for everyone involved.
“I also think it’s worth noting that Amanda is stepping back into creative expression with new music, which is exciting to see after so many years.“
Vicsvendetta, who works as a creative director and brand development specialist, says her family piece of work from Bynes is her “iconic” Penelope Taynt character.
She added: “It’s definitely a tie.
“The Amanda Show, especially her Penelope Taynt character, is iconic – and Viola dressed as Sebastian from She’s the Man is unforgettable.”
Viewers familiar with Bynes’s output have been left gob-smacked by the online star’s uncanny looks.
One person declared: “Oh my God, the nostalgia.”
Another person added: “Amanda please! This is amazing.”
One other person said: “I miss her, you know what I mean.”
Another person said: “God this made me really wish we had her back.”
And a fifth viewer added: “Girl, they need to hire you for the remakes or sequels for real.”
