30 Celebrity Kids Who Probably Are Sick And Tired Of Hearing “You Look Just Like Your Mother/Father”
Sometimes you need just one glance and you instantly notice that two people you’re looking at are parents and children, because the resemblance is so obvious. But if they are so similar now, would we be able to tell the difference between parents’ younger selves and their children?
Some celebrities have children that look almost identical to them when they were younger and it is so fascinating to see what genetic traits from their appearance their children got.
A few years ago, Bored Panda looked at celebrities and their children at the same age and made a list of the ones that looked the most similar, so when you’re done with this article, check out the previous one.

I agree that Ava is absolutely her double, but these photos don't reflect that as well as other photos do
Yeah...she looks like her dad, too, though. She doesn't have The Chin", and her nose is different - that bump is genetic. All of her father's kids will have it.
Yep, I see Ryan Philippe here
Load More Replies...She looks like Ryan Phillipe. It's obvious, I swear I often think people who post these are just trolling.

Scott Eastwood And Clint Eastwood
Scott Eastwood, the son of Clint Eastwood, is an actor and a model. Scott was born Scott Clinton Reeves and at the beginning of his acting career, he stuck to his mom‘s last name to avoid nepotism, but eventually in 2008, he changed it, embracing the family legacy. The first movie in which he appeared was Flags of Our Fathers (2006). In 2016, Eastwood played Lieutenant GQ Edwards in the film Suicide Squad. His newest role was as Jani in Wrath Of Man, released this year.
LOL but in 2008 he changed it 'embracing the family legacy' - and giving in to the nepotism he had so richly avoided.
Not a lot of point using a different surname to avoid accusations of nepotism if your first film role is in a film directed, produced, and scored by your father. At that point your name is not why people are going to wonder.
When i watched this movie i thought he was the son of Clint Eastwood... MV5BMTQ2Nj...672308.jpg

Load More Replies...Well if you had any doubt he gave his son the same name!! This Jr thing i will never understand
Load More Replies...The whole "Jr." thing is so weird to me. Makes me think of Austin Powers and "Miny Me". Weird.
I recently watched the New Girl and Brooklyn Nine Nine crossover and now my head is exploding because Damon played a character in both shows. Which one is real??
Okay but maybe if Damon Wayans wasn't an immortal vampire that didn't age, I wouldn't mix them up

What?! There's going to be another season of American Horror Story?!!! Yay!

Is it just me... or does Wyatt Russel look like a grown up version of Dash from the incredibles
Same eyes, and identical ears, but not so much the rest. He didn't get the chiseled jaw line.
He looks a bit like his Dad,but I think he looks more like his Mum ,Goldie Hawn.
On the falcon and winter soldier series he really resembles his dad
I never thought Kurt Russel was handsome. And his kid sure looks odd in captain america
sorry WHAT EGO IS JOHN WALKERS FATHER? WHY WAS I NOT TOLD OF THIS DO BUCKY AND SAM KNOW

what a cool name! dhani or dhwani means sound in Hindi, Sanskrit, Bengali, and a few related languages.
Did you ever see the tribute that Dhani and some the world's greatest guitarists did for George, playing and singing "As My Guitar Gently Weeps"? And Paul McCartney once said that every time he looks at Dhani, he sees George.
Was that the one where Prince did the final solo, tossed his guitar in the air and it didn’t come back down? If that is the performance you are referring to then, yes I have seen it and it is incredible
Load More Replies...Dhani is freakishly similar. The Concert For George - I thought he was a hologram.

All of Stellan's kids look the same. You can see their father in every single one of them.
I agree you can see Stellan‘s looks in each of them, but they are all uniquely different. I don’t see strong resemblances to each other except for the fact they are all super tall!
Load More Replies...You can always tell that someone is a Skarsgård, but they really don't look that much alike.

Exactly what I was going to say. Ryan Phillippe!!
Load More Replies...He's got more than one. He's got six kids with four different women.

Michael Consuelos is the eldest son of the actor Mark Consuelos. Michael played the teen verion of his father in the third season of Riverdale (2017).

He majored in film and TV production at New York University and it seems that not only is he seriously following his father‘s footsteps in the acting world, but he likes to be behind the camera too as he has interned at a production company which provided him with an opportunity to learn about everything that is involved in making a TV show.
I can see Kelly Ripe in his features too. Father, mother and children all great looking.
Gwyneth Paltrow And Blythe Danner
Gwyneth Paltrow is the daughter of the successful actress Blythe Danner. As her mother, Gwyneth received numerous awards for her film work.

For some time, the actress was less seen as she was spending more time raising her children. But when she came back, it was with Iron Man (2008), which became Paltrow's highest-grossing film until The Avengers (2012).
And completely overrated! I can't believe she has an Oscar!!!

Beyoncé's mother is the fashion designer Tina Knowles, who established the brands House of Deréon and Miss Tina by Tina Knowles. Beyoncé rose to fame with the group Destiny‘s Child. It was with this group that Tina Knowle's name also became more known as she was the designer for the group. It seems that the two women chose different careers, but Tina Knowles actually once worked as a dance choreographer, so the interest in music and performing definitely runs in the family.
Nowadays, people would be like “Oh! Tina Knowles! You look just like Beyoncé!”
Just checked. She's black with some white ancestry, like a lot of African Americans.

Carrie tried out writing too: she released several semi-autobiographical novels, the screenplay for the film version of Postcards from the Edge which garnered her a BAFTA Award for Best Adapted Screenplay nomination, and worked on other writers' screenplays as a script doctor.
Put up a picture of Eddie Fisher. Carrie got the shape of her face and her nose from her mother, but she looked a LOT like her father, too. She definitely has his eyes.
Actually, in many ways, Billie looks more like her grandmother than Carrie did.
how about a 70's or 80's picture of Carrie? not like there aren't some better pictures to compare her with her mom. CarrieFish...edb5d8.jpg
.... and then compare it with e.g. a still from “Singing in the rain” for a fair comparison.
Load More Replies...This seems to be after Carrie had some revisions. I never saw Debbie in her. Her dad was handsome in his youth.
Elizabeth Taylor's husband and Eddie Fisher's best friend, Mike Todd, was killed in a plane crash. Carrie Fisher would go on to say "my father comforted her... with his penis." :-D
Lily-Rose Melody Depp And Vanessa Paradis

Vanessa with Johnny's eyes. In fact she's a perfect mix of her parents.
Load More Replies...When you put her next to Johnny Depp then she also resembles him very much
She has the same tiny body as her mother, and I suppose mannerisms (and make-up) can go a long way. Her facial features (eyes, cheek bones, jaw line) are all her dad's, though.
Please she is 2x more beautiful than her mother her mother would agree...
Tracee Ellis Ross And Diana Ross
Tracee Ellis Ross is the daughter of the singer and actress Diana Ross. Tracee took the same career path as her mother and appeared on the big screen for the first time in 1996, playing a Jewish/African-American woman Far Harbor.

Miley Cyrus And Tish Cyrus
Tish Cyrus is an actress, a producer, and the manager of her daughter Miley Cyrus.

After the show ended, Miley still stuck to both singing and acting, although her career as a musician took off more.
She's not her aunt, she's her godmother. They aren't related.

He began his modeling career in 2014 and appeared on covers of such magazines as Vogue China, Miss Vogue, Interview, L'Uomo Vogue and others. Later he got into photography and in 2017 he published his first book of photography, entitled What I See.
The book bombed. His parents bought most of the sold copies it turns out! Plus he is not a photographer. He was bought a place in one of THE most prestigious art and photography schools in the world, and apparently turned up to one or two classes before quitting a month into his enrolment. It annoys me immensely when people try and list his talents, he hasn’t got any. Entitled :(
No way david beckham is the finest example of a man ever put on this planet and his son who is handsome isnt even close
Jobless Brooklyn looks more like a gingerbread man than he does his dad the creep .

I don't see the resemblance, if I saw them standing next to each other, I wouldn't automatically guess that they are mother and son.
He's the image of her when she was the same age. The picture of her here doesn't really look like her even now.

I was just thinking that! Looks fake, but I'm not a professional.
Load More Replies...Super filtered pic. Looks like she used one of the Asian app ones. They should have gotten a better pic of Lily Mo
I don't think she looks like her mum at all, she looks like her Dad, it's like her Dad with a wig on. They have the same nose and face.
Do they really look similar? (Not hating just wondering if its just me)
Shiloh Jolie-Pitt And Angelina Jolie

North West is the daughter of the rapper, record producer, businessman, fashion designer, and politician Kanye West. She is only seven years old but she has over 700k followers on Instagram and she is known for her fashionable outfits. Of course, they are curated by her mom, Kim Kardashian, but nevertheless, she has already become an icon. It seems that North has a talent for painting and is taking painting classes.
I don't see this similarity at all. I'd say there's more of Kim coming through there.
This resumé of Kanye West is simply beyond hilarious. Think they forgot to add in the description: astronaut and self taught surgeon. In the child pic anyway we see what truly resembles astonishingly his father: the hideous YEEZY slide. If he's a fashion designer, I'm definitely a submarine.
Wow, this was BAD. In most cases, the resemblance is not that striking, and half of the comparisons are between kids and their parent when old, not the same age as the kid. Jeez, get a grip, BP!
Exactly. You're really stretching Bored Panda. A more apt title would've been: "Family members who look nothing alike."
Load More Replies...really not feeling this one. I mean, i know not everything has to appeal to me, but "some celebrities resemble their children" isn't exactly a hot take.
It's the kind of post that you would see in tabloids.
Load More Replies...What I learned here is that a) Lithuanians who write Bored Panda need their eyes checked, b) Hollywood is full of nepotism and c) Most famous offspring become models if they can't act or get a job in the real world
dontcha just wanna grab some of these celebrities when they were younger and shake 'em and say "run! run far away from hollywood. you're life is about to get royally screwed up. and it will also ruin your family!"
The problem with this article: the child of each celebrity is the focused on one parent. Son compared to his father & daughter compared to her mother. I suggest show both parents (celebrity or not), then we will see the resemblances better.
Not all of these pictures are well chosen. More interesting ones out there, with stronger resemblances, have been forgotten. What comes to mind: Meryl Streep & daughters, Tom & Colin Hanks, Bruce Willis & Tallulah, Steve Irwin & Robert, and check out Bette Midler and daughter / twin.
