Celebrities

Forget spending thousands on plastic surgery or hitting all of the right Instagram angles in order to transform yourself into the hottest Hollywood stars, because sometimes, it's all down to genetics. And there's no denying that the best celebrity doppelgängers are kids who look like their famous parents. Whether the stars' offspring are still children or have grown up to be full-fledged adults, one thing's for sure: Genetics is cray, and seeing double, miniature versions of celebs we know and love is kind of a trippy experience. I'm talkin' double takes all around. Double takes for days. To be honest, I've always thought that one of the coolest things about being a parent is seeing your own DNA passed down to the next generation, a piece of you that will forever live on down the family line. When you can see yourself in your child — your own facial expressions, your own mannerisms, your own eyes or hair or smile — it has to be like looking into some futuristic, funhouse mirror. And when this happens in Hollywood — a place ruled by a celebrity-obsessed culture that allows people's faces to be so ingrained in our minds — there's no doubt that the double phenomenon is even crazier, because now the entire adoring public can freak out together at the wonder of genetics together. Biology, amirite? 1. We could have compared Sosie to her famous actress mother, Kyra Sedgwick, but, when you take a good look at this photo of Sosie with her dad, Kevin Bacon, she really looks like a softer version of him! Though she has her mother’s eyes, the rest of her face from her nose to her high forehead and her winning smile come from her father! Moving on, did you know Cindy Crawford had a daughter…? 2. Cindy Crawford’s access to the fountain of youth makes the notion of confusing her with her daughter, Kaia, as a younger sister totally reasonable. Same skin tone, hair color, eye color, and even career path! Kaia has started pursuing modeling similar to her mother who, you can imagine, has her concerns about her daughter entering the business of superficial beauty. The next father and son are a bittersweet flash to the past! 3. If you didn’t see an older George Harrison in this photo, wouldn’t you think for a moment that his son, Dhani, was a younger him? They are practically twins! It seems as though the only major difference between in appearance resulted from Dhani inheriting his mother’s hair type. Last, but not least, an apple which didn’t fall very far from the tree (we had to say it at least once!)… 4. Gwyneth Paltrow and her daughter, Apple have practically the same nose and hair and, though Apple’s father, Chris Martin from Coldplay, is clearly present in her eyes, Gwyneth’s intensity shines through Apple’s expression. Would this young girl remind you of the movie star if you saw her on her own? 5. Clint Eastwood and Scott Eastwood look just alike and they know it! See how much Scott looks like his dad back in his Western film days? If you check out Scott’s Instagram account, you’ll think a young Clint Eastwood found Marty’s time machine! Next up, take a good look at this mother and daughter and you’ll see the resemblance will only grow in time! 6. Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck’s daughter, Violet, is practically a clone of her mother with blonde hair. They have the same ears, smile, and focused eyes. The next father and son might win for the closest look-alike parent and child on this whole list – what do you think? 7. Ice Cube and O’Shea Jackson look so much alike that O’Shea was hired to portray his father in the biographical film “Straight Outta Compton” which centers around the early lives of the group of hip-hop artists who formed N.W.A. They have the same focused scowl, don’t they? Next up, you’ve heard her name, but, have you ever seen the fashion designer Donna Karan and her daughter? 8. Donna Karan and Gaby took the time to emphasize how much they look alike on this particular outing! Same style dress in black and white and their faces are so, so much alike! Same nose, smile, and eyes! The family is up for debate, but, we’ll share our thoughts with you on which one looks the most like their famous father… 9. A lot of people say that Will Smith and Jaden look just alike, but, can you deny his daughter, Willow, bares an even more striking resemblance to her father? They all have matching ears, but, Willow’s face is just like Will’s! The next pair, no matter what photo you see of the two of them together, will make you smile! 10. Aren’t Bette Midler and her daughter Sophie so stinking adorable!?! Even though they’re both adults, they sure look like they have all kinds of fun together! Maybe this is the result of Midler’s long-lasting marriage (with a few bumps here and there) with Sophie’s father, Martin von Haselberg. The next father and son are equally intense! 11. Jude Law gave his nose, brow, and intense eyes to his son, Rafferty, who has pursued a career in fashion modeling. Their face shape came from the exact same mold, too, wouldn’t you say? Right to the long ears? Next up, a famous family who made a beauty of a daughter! 12. Here on the red carpet, Susan Sarandon is accompanied by her son with Tim Robbins, Jack Henry, and her daughter with Italian director Franco Amurri, Eva. Though Eva took her facial length from her father, doesn’t basically look like Susan, just a little longer and taller? They have the same high cheeks, pretty eyes, and lips. They’ve even played mother and daughter in the 2002 film, “The Banger Sisters.” The father and son you’ll see next are often spotted watching sporting events together! 13. Jack and Ray Nicholson can often be seen taking in basketball games together – doesn’t Ray look just like Jack when he was younger? They have the same wide smile which has become synonymous with the panic-inducing call of, “Heeeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!” When you move on to the next mother and daughter, you will hear the sounds of Elvis Presley and Micheal Jackson in the background… 14. Lisa Marie and Priscilla Presley have both lost famous musician husbands in their lifetimes and their strength and intensity show all over their faces. At first glance, you could easily mistake one for the other! The next little girl experienced the great loss of her parental twin too early in life… 15. The late Heath Ledger died during the making of the epic 2008 film,”The Dark Knight,” when his daughter, Matilda, was only 3 years old. Isn’t the resemblance almost eery? She lives with her widowed mother, Michelle Williams, and is now 11 years old. The next mother-daughter duo is truly stunning! 16. Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke are the proud parents of this lovely young woman, Maya, who at the age of 18 just started down the career path of a fashion model. Though Ethan Hawke’s softer features rounded Uma’s edges, the eyes and smile are ALL Uma. The next two guys were absolute essential addictions to this list – they’re spookily similar! 17. The Sutherland boys unmistakably belong to the same family! Actor and musician, Kiefer Sutherland look just like his actor father, Donald! They performed together in the 2015 film “Forsaken” as a father and son – must have made the casting director’s job a lot easier when these two agreed to sign on! The next famous leading lady has a striking, look-alike daughter… 18. If you can’t get enough of Meryl Streep, you’ll never have to – it looks like she has bestowed all of her sophisticated grace (and those wonderful high cheekbones) to her daughter, Mamie, who is trying to break into a film career of her own. The next photo of a group of handsome gents is just so darling… 19. Isn’t this a touching image of the late Alan Thicke with his son, Robin, and his grandson? Alan died just last year and this is one of the last photos he took with his special guys before his passing. His son definitely has the family nose, doesn’t he? Next up, check out this famous father and his improved features on his daughter… 20. Aren’t Reese Witherspoon and her daughter Ava beautiful together? Not to mention, they are looking so much more alike as Ava grows – same eyes, same smile! Next up, this father and son could have been twins! Credits: modernmom.com
