Twitter never ceases to amaze with its outlandish commentary and memeing of all things pop culture. With no one exempt from this online jesting, it's become normal for celebs to sometimes join in the conversations about themselves. Recently the subject of an adorable comparison, Laura Dern responded to her dog doppelganger with a tweet so perfect, it’ll make you want to watch Big Little Lies over and over again.

The hilarious Twitter moment happened on Tuesday, Jan. 23 when a fan posted a photo which featured an incredibly well coiffed Maltipoo, who goes by the name of Kimchee, and commented that the demure doggie bore a striking resemblance to Golden Globe-winning actor Dern. After a few hours, the post actually caught Dern's attention, causing her to question the dog's ability to command a performance in the HBO miniseries. A good sport through it all, she jokingly jumped in and asked, "Should she have played Renata in Big Little Lies?!" The moment understandably sent fans into a frenzy, as they immediately responded to Dern's hilarious reaction to the comparison.

For what it's worth, Kimchee already seems to be somewhat of a star in his own right. As a doggie fashion model and online product reviewer, Kimchee currently boasts just over 6,000 followers on Instagram — a number which is likely grow exponentially once word gets out about his bond with Dern.

As a huge success in its first run, Big Little Lies received critical acclaim and garnered 16 Emmy Award nominations with eight wins, including Outstanding Limited Series. Among those awards, Dern took home the trophy for Outstanding Supporting Actress for her exceptional portrayal of the villainous and slightly obnoxious mother, wife, and Silicon Valley executive Renata Klein.

Shortly after accepting the award, Dern notably gave thanks to those who came together to create an amazing project featuring the lives of "dynamic women," such as Renata. According to Variety, Dern spoke to reporters backstage, explaining:

“The show was delicious and fun to get inside of for so many people, but also it was speaking directly about being true to your voice and standing up for yourself, and I feel very proud to be a part of a group of women getting to tell that story right now.”

With remarkable talent and poise already unmistakable factors of her success in Hollywood, Dern's recent participation in Twitter's dog meme only helps solidify her in a class all her own.
