Henry Winkler recently showed off his lookalike son, Max, on Instagram, and fans could not get over how much he reminded them of Fonzie from Happy Days. In the snap, the 41-year-old was working on his laptop with one hand and carrying a baby on the other.
Henry simply captioned the photo “Double duty,” explaining it perfectly. Although laser-focused on his laptop, Max looked cool sporting a causal white T-shirt, a pair of jeans and a snap back hat which he wore backwards. He looked just like his dad’s famous character Fonzie but with blonde hair.
Fans gush about Henry Winkler’s son
The comments had Happy Days fans gushing nostalgically about the uncanny resemblance between Henry and Max, who is the last of his three children with Stacey Weitzman. “Your son looks so much like you! And sweet, precious baby!” someone gushed.
Others assumed the baby was Max’s since his wife Jessica Barden announced she was pregnant with their second child this year. “He’s your twin. Get him a leather jacket, a motorcycle, and a comb. Congrats on for your family’s newest addition,” another wrote.
Meet Max Winkler
Max works in the entertainment industry like his dad. However, he prefers being behind the scenes as a writer, director, or producer. Henry once mentioned that Max had dreamt of becoming a director since he was 10, and thanks to his parents’ support, he became a successful one at 41.
Max, who fell in love with his actress wife on set while directing Jungleland, has been instrumental in his dad’s career by helping him land some roles. Henry admitted that Max helps him prepare for auditions, and unlike fans, Max does not fancy him improvising so much.
