Separated at birth? Mayor-elect O'Connor and Pens GM Dubas embrace the resemblance

Pittsburgh Mayor-elect Corey O’Connor and Pittsburgh Penguins General Manager Kyle Dubas bear an uncanny resemblance.

They look so much alike that O’Connor posted photos of himself with Dubas on social media Saturday, joking they could be twins like the separated-at-infancy siblings in the 1998 film “The Parent Trap.”

“Great to meet my doppelgänger tonight, GM Kyle Dubas, tonight cheering on our Pittsburgh Penguins against the Maple Leafs,” O’Connor wrote on social media.

At the same time, the Penguins posted a short video featuring the pair.

“People say I look like the new mayor of Pittsburgh,” Dubas says, walking into the Penguins’ front office.

Seeing double ????

The clip then pans to O’Connor, sitting at a desk and wearing a Penguins vest. “And people say I look like the general manager of the Penguins,” he says.

The two then stand side-by-side, showing an obvious height difference.

“For clarity, he’s the short one,” Dubas said, referring to O’Connor.

“And clearly he’s the tall one,” O’Connor responds.

Dubas, 40, a native of Canada, was named the team’s general manager in 2023, after serving as GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

O’Connor, 41, defeated Mayor Ed Gainey in the Democratic primary in May before handily winning the November general election to secure Pittsburgh’s highest elected office. He will be sworn in as mayor Jan. 5.

In the video, the Penguins GM explains he’s not the one to call about potholes or taxes. O’Connor quips that he’s not the one to call about the Penguins power play or who the team will put in the net.

“But we’re both proud to represent the black and gold,” Dubas said.

The pair end the clip standing before the Penguins logo and a Stanley Cup trophy, signing off with a line frequently heard in political ads: “And we approve this message.”
