We all know that kids take after their parents—that’s no shocker, it’s basic genetics. What is surprising, however, is just how closely some children take after one of their folks. So much so that you could easily mistake them for twins at a glance.

Our team here at Bored Panda has curated a list of comparison photos, showing what high-profile celebrities and their children looked like at approximately the same age. The similarities between them go so deep, they might just make you do a double-take. Check out the pics below and see for yourselves, dear Pandas!

Bored Panda reached out to Mike Sington, an entertainment, pop culture, and lifestyle expert from Los Angeles, to hear his thoughts on the types of challenges that the children of celebrities might face, and how they can be protected from unwanted attention. You'll find our full interview with Hollywood's Ultimate Insider below, so be sure to read on.
