No matter when you were a fan of these celebrities, they and their children are nearly one and the same… well, most of them are anyway. Take one look at some of these famous celebrities and their children at the same age, and you’ll be absolutely stunned!
Scott Eastwood – Clint Eastwood (30 years old)
In his generation, Clint Eastwood got the attention of nearly everyone in Hollywood. He was one of the most highly sought after actors in the industry. His son, Scott Eastwood, hasn’t quite had the same luck. In fact, his father Clint hasn’t been quick to give his son acting pointers to improve his acting game.
Scott Eastwood – Clint Eastwood (30 years old)
However, thanks to some great genes, Clint was able to inherit his father’s incredible jawline and a striking resemblance to his father. This is one actor we can say “started from the bottom” and worked hard to earn a role as Little Nobody in The Fate of the Furious.
Goldie Hawn – Kate Hudson (25 Years Old)
We’re not surprised that the ever-gorgeous Goldie Hawn would have beautiful babies that would turn into beautiful young women like Kate Hudson. Goldie Hawn was given high marks for her feature performance in Good Morning World, a comedy produced by CBS. She’s been a prominent star for over thirty years and has aged beautifully well, but Goldie has taken a step back from acting in recent years and Kate has come up in her place. Kate not only inherited her mother’s jaw-dropping looks but also her stellar acting talent.
Goldie Hawn – Kate Hudson (25 Years Old)
Today, Kate Hudson is an internationally renowned actress. The sad side to this story is that it seems that Goldie doesn’t like working with her daughter, once recorded as having said she would never want to make a film with her. Despite this, Kate has a stellar career for herself, with or without her mother’s support.
Minnie Ripperton – Maya Rudolph (29 Years Old)
Minnie Ripperton changed the world of smash hit music of the 70s with her song, Loving’ You. It seemed possible to fans that Minnie was not talking about some random lover, but instead, her daughter Maya Rudolph. At the end of the song, fans can hear Minnie audibly sing “Maya” for her loving daughter. Maya worked for years learning her mother’s skills on the stage, and her hard work paid off.
Minnie Ripperton – Maya Rudolph (29 Years Old)
Maya inherited her mother’s incredibly gorgeous looks but fell short in the singing category. Maya is more known for her acting and comedic abilities rather than her singing abilities. She is a cast member of Saturday Night Live and appeared in a few films, some of which included 50 First Dates and Shrek the Third. While their respective acting and singing abilities differ, one thing is certain: they share the same eyes, lips, and overall beauty.
Kirk Douglas – Michael Douglas (30 Years Old)
The 2003 hit film, It Runs in the Family, featured not one, not two, but three generations of the Douglas family. Critics alluded the movie as a kind reminder of how inheritable traits, good and bad, are passed between generations – and you better hope that your family had ample good traits, and at least some that you could be proud of. Kirk Douglas set the stage for his son, Michael Douglas, and his father’s highly successful acting career that spanned almost seventy years.
Kirk Douglas – Michael Douglas (30 Years Old)
Michael Douglas seemed to inherit not only his father’s stellar acting skills but also his incredibly good looks and an uncanny ability to be immune to hair loss after the age of thirty. After Michael’s debut on the stage, he passed the torch to his son Cameron, who hasn’t been as successful. Keep at it, Cameron — you’ll get there one day.
Blythe Danner – Gwyneth Paltrow (30 Years Old)
How many children can say their mothers started their careers in the ’70s and went on to win not only a Tony Award but also a Primetime Emmy award? That solitary child is Gwyneth Paltrow, who has been able to inherit her mother’s striking beauty as well as her acting skills. While Gwyneth’s mother, Blythe Danner, has stellar achievements in film, she has also dedicated much of her time to fundraising for health care and pertinent environmental issues.
Blythe Danner – Gwyneth Paltrow (30 Years Old)
Paltrow took after her mother and went on to find her own lifestyle company titled Goop, and also is active in the realm of women’s rights. Despite their age difference, you can often find Danner and Paltrow wearing matching outfits and coming to each other’s defense should the need arise.
Kate Beckinsale – Lily Sheen (17 Years Old)
Lily Sheen looks so much like her mother Kate Beckinsale that you would think they were practically twins! Kate uploaded a photo of her daughter Lily on Instagram, and we’re guessing that Lily looks a lot more like her mom than her dad, Michael Sheen.
Kate Beckinsale – Lily Sheen (17 Years Old)
Beckinsale has had a vibrantly successful acting career, starring in hit blockbuster films such as Much Ado About Nothing while she was still a student at Oxford, and recently, Van Helsing. This has allowed her to give her daughter Lily a comfortable (and maybe luxurious) life. While Lily is still uncertain about whether she wants to go into acting, there’s still hope that she follows in her mother’s footsteps.
Elvis Presley – Benjamin Keough (25 Years Old)
If Elvis Presley were alive today, he would be tickled to know how similar he looks to his 25-year-old grandchild, Benjamin Keough. Lisa Marie Presley has only one son, which makes Benjamin the only grandson of this King of Rock and Roll. The reason Benjamin looks so similar to his grandfather is probably due to the fact that Lisa Marie bears a striking resemblance to her father, and then passed down those genes to her son.
Elvis Presley – Benjamin Keough (25 Years Old)
Ben is a musician like his grandfather, often referred to as the “New Elvis Presley.” We’re thinking that he might be the greatest Elvis impersonator out there today.
Arnold Schwarzenegger – Joseph Baena (20 Years Old)
“The Arnold” has had a multifaceted career as a famous actor, bodybuilder, and former governor of California. He’s a fan favorite among US movie watchers, who remember him as in the Terminator series of blockbuster films. He’s not only an action guy, though; he’s also appeared in Predator and Kindergarten Cop. His biggest fault and the things that made many fans turn away was the defamation of his marriage vows when he cheated on his wife Maria Shriver, with his housekeeper, Mildred Patricia Baena.
Arnold Schwarzenegger – Joseph Baena (20 Years Old)
While this was a break in the ethical code of the governor, it did result in something very positive for Arnold: his son, Joseph Baena. Joseph was recently seen in public looking positively dashing. I think it’s safe to say that his good looks came from his father.
Patrick Swayze – Jason Whittle (40 Years Old)
Patrick Swayze takes the cake when it comes to celebrity controversy surrounding his love life. There are rumors to this day that Jason Whittle is his son, and the story became even more convincing when Jason’s mother added more juicy details to the story on her deathbed.
Patrick Swayze Jason Whittle 40 Years Old
In what she described as a “thing” (or what we might today say, was a “fling”), she claimed that she and Swayze got together and had Jason Whittle. While there haven’t been any DNA tests to prove the legitimacy of the rumors, just a look in the two actors eyes says a lot more than what a DNA test could.
Heath Ledger – Matilda Ledger (9 Years Old)
Matilda Rose Ledger has always had a striking resemblance to her father, Heath Ledger. Heath was an Australian actor and director who was best known for playing the heartthrob in the romantic comedy, 10 Things I Hate About You and for his performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight. Since her father’s death in 2008, she’s been living with her mother Michelle Williams, in New York.
Heath Ledger – Matilda Ledger (9 Years Old)
It appears she inherited her father’s good looks and his sense of style and love for adventures. Heath left a major legacy behind after his death, and we’re certain that his daughter Matilda will follow in his footsteps in the acting world and carry on the family name.
Christopher Reeve – Will Reeve (25 Years Old)
Few life stories rival that of Will Reeve. His father was Christopher Reeve, who passed away after fighting a slew of infections from an equestrian injury that left him paraplegic. As if losing his father when Will was only 11 years old wasn’t bad enough, his mother, Dana Reeve, passed away from lung cancer just two years later.
Christopher Reeve – Will Reeve (25 Years Old)
After such a challenging start in his childhood, Will eventually succeeded over some mental health issues and was able to graduate from college sans student loans, thanks to his inheritance. He is now an ESPN contributor who has had a lot of success in his field.
Mel Gibson – Milo Gibson (27 Years Old)
Mel Gibson is a famous action star best known for his roles in Mad Max, Lethal Weapon, and Brave Heart. He and his former wife Robyn Moore had a son together named Milo Gibson. Milo is fortunate enough to have inherited his father’s stunning nose and gorgeous eyes.
Mel Gibson – Milo Gibson (27 Years Old)
It might not be surprising to hear that Milo has been trying to get into acting, just like his father. He is currently filming a few projects, and he’s set to star in the WWII action drama Hurricane: Squadron 303, which is set to come to theaters later this year.
Paul Walker – Meadow Rain Walker (19 Years Old)
Paul Walker’s tragic death took the world by storm, and also changed his daughter’s life forever. Despite losing her father, Meadow Rain Walker has stayed positive and kept up her appearance to be the lovely woman that she’s matured into today. Unlike other celebrity children who’ve lost a parent, she’s been proactive about keeping her father’s dreams alive.
Paul Walker – Meadow Rain Walker (19 Years Old)
In an Instagram post on his 44th birthday, she encouraged followers to share a picture of a good deed they’ve done in his honor. Meadow seems to be quite the philanthropist, too. In 2015, she launched the Paul Walker Foundation, which has a “do good” hashtag to “continue the work that Paul started.”
Meryl Streep – Mamie Gummer (31 Years Old)
Of all the celebrity parents you could choose from, we think Meryl Streep would probably be the best celebrity mom of all time, except for one thing: Meryl’s a perfectionist. Mamie Gummer, Meryl’s daughter, stepped up to the plate with this challenge and decided to build her career in acting, just like her mother.
Meryl Streep – Mamie Gummer (31 Years Old)
Well, her hard work has paid off. Mamie Gummer earned a role on Ricki and the Flash along with her mother back in 2015 but fell short of winning any awards. While it seems that Mamie enjoys acting, her true skills might be in theatre, as she earned a Theatre World award right out of college.
Jerry Stiller – Ben Stiller (39 Years Old)
Ben Stiller’s unrivaled good looks have the appearance of being chiseled out of marble. That’s no surprise considering his parents are Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. Jerry was a comedic legend of his generation and teamed up with his wife Anne for performances. He most notably played the slightly deranged father on the hit television series, Seinfeld. Their son, Ben, inherited their good looks and their knack for acting.
Jerry Stiller – Ben Stiller (39 Years Old)
In a side-by-side picture of the two of them, you can see their striking resemblance. In fact, directors have cast the father-son duo together in many movies such as Heavyweights, Heartbreak Kid, and Zoolander. Ben looks to be taking advantage of the groundwork his father laid for his success and is living up to the legacy set by his parents!
Robert Downey Jr. – Indio Downey (24 Years Old)
There are some genes we would all hope aren’t passed to our children, and drug addiction is among the top of them. Unfortunately for Robert Downey Jr., his son Indio Downey took after his father in more ways than one. Instead of going down the career path of acting like his father, Indio pursued his father’s interest in recreational drugs.
Robert Downey Jr. – Indio Downey (24 Years Old)
Like his father, he was arrested for drug possession but recovered much faster than Robert. In a public Facebook post, Robert congratulated his son Indio for being clean and for producing some really stellar music. While we won’t anticipate Indio to star in any upcoming films, we can be sure to look out for his artistic talents in other areas. As his father said, Indio is a “musician at heart.”
Jim Carrey – Jackson Riley Santana (8 Years Old)
Epic comedian Jim Carrey is known by many for his slapstick humor and crude jokes. In fact, his iconic comedic acts have made him a star in films such as Bruce Almighty, Dumb and Dumber, and The Mask. While many can naturally assume he has a mega-high net worth of $150 million, there’s one thing some people don’t know: he has a daughter named Jane Erin Carrey.
Jim Carrey – Jackson Riley Santana (8 Years Old)
When she introduced him to his grandson in 2010, Jim became a very proud grandfather of Jackson Riley Santana. Riley definitely has his grandfather’s eyes and hopefully will develop to have his father’s unrivaled comedic skills.
Pierce Brosnan – Isabella Sophie Smith (5 Years Old)
Pierce Brosnan started smiling a bit more in 1998. His daughter, Charlotte, introduced the famous James Bond film actor to his granddaughter, Isabelle Sophie. Her grandmother, however, had died of ovarian cancer just seven years before, leaving her out of this happy moment.
Pierce Brosnan – Isabella Sophie Smith (5 Years Old)
As if that wasn’t enough tragedy for young Isabella, her own mother’s life was taken by the same disease in 2013. Isabella is now 19 years old and still the apple of her grandfather’s eye. In these two photos, Isabella shares Pierce’s nose and eyes.
Bruce Willis – Rumer Willis (18 Years Old)
Bruce Willis is the kind of actor that needs no introduction. Starring in over 70 films, he’s known as an action movie hero among fans. Rumer Willis, the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, bears a striking resemblance to both her father and her mother.
Bruce Willis – Rumer Willis (18 Years Old)
Comparing the photos of the two, both at 18 years old, one can see that Rumer takes after her father in his eyes, smile, and unique nose. You can find Rumer Willis acting in the hit television series, Empire.
Elizabeth Taylor – Quinn Tivey (30 Years Old)
Elizabeth Taylor began her acting career in the ’40s, making a name for herself nearly 20 years later with the historical epic film Cleopatra in 1963. She is considered one of the most critically acclaimed film stars of all time and a cultural icon of her generation.
Elizabeth Taylor – Quinn Tivey (30 Years Old)
Her grandson, Quinn Tivey, seemed to inherit many of her most gorgeous features, and while he isn’t an actor like Elizabeth, he has kept her incredible legacy alive by working with The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation and fundraising for HIV/AIDS. At present, he is a co-trustee for the Elizabeth Taylor Trust and an artist.
Charlie Chaplin – Oona Castilla Chaplin (30 Years Old)
Charlie Chaplin was among the most influential and far-reaching filmmakers of the silent film era. From the ’20s and on, he wrote, directed, or starred in over 82 official films, and had many cameo appearances in unofficial films as well. He is also one of the most iconic comedians of all time.
Charlie Chaplin – Oona Castilla Chaplin (30 Years Old)
It seems that acting runs in this family because Oona Chaplin, his granddaughter, went on to play the role of Talisa Maegyr on the hit television series, Game of Thrones. Oona started her career acting in British and Spanish short films, though she will play a role in the Avatar sequel, which began filming in 2017.
Kurt Cobain – Frances Bean Cobain (24 Years Old)
Music legend Kurt Cobain changed the landscape of rock music for generations for bringing Nirvana to listeners around the world. To date, the band is known as one of the most influential alternative rock bands in history. His daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, did not pursue music like her father, instead opting to model and pursue other artistic talents.
Kurt Cobain – Frances Bean Cobain(24 Years Old)
While her passion for visual arts is well known, her career has not achieved the same success as her father’s. Kurt took his life in 1994 after leaving rehab while battling depression and drug addiction. We’re hoping that Frances lives a long and successful life and is able to step out of her father’s tragic shadow to achieve her dreams.
Peggy Lipton – Rashida Jones (30 Years Old)
One might say that Peggy Lipton and her daughter Rashida Jones are among the top actresses in cult television. Peggy won a Golden Globe for her portrayal of a counterculture flower child on The Mod Squad in the ’70s, and also starred in the mystery horror ABC series, Twin Peaks. While Rashida didn’t seem to inherit her mother’s golden locks or go into modeling, it’s clear she inherited Peggy’s prowess for acting.
Peggy Lipton – Rashida Jones (30 Years Old)
Rashida has found success in singing, acting, and producing, most notably portraying Ann Perkins on the series Parks and Recreation. She’s also starred in the series Angie Tribeca since 2016, which has had critical acclaim. She’s even ventured into the world of commercials, appearing in a 2015 ad for Verizon.
Robert Downey Sr. – Robert Downey Jr. (34 Years Old)
Robert Downey Jr. made a name for himself in a variety of different ways, taking the lead from his father, famous actor, and cinematographer, Robert Downey Sr. His father paved the landscape for his success starting his own career in avant-garde film making in the ’60s, utilizing a minimalist budget and over the top satire. He retired in 2013, leaving his son to take the reigns.
Robert Downey Sr. – Robert Downey Jr. (34 Years Old)
While Downey Jr. briefly struggled with substance abuse and incarceration in early 2000, he turned his career around when given the lead role in Marvel’s Iron Man. That film, along with The Avengers, Iron Man 3 and Captain America: Civil War earned over $1 billion in the box office. He is one of Hollywood’s highest-paid actors to date, making an estimated $80 million in just one year.
Debbie Reynolds – Carrie Fisher (23 Years Old)
Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher were a mother-daughter acting duo that had few rivals in Hollywood. Debbie earned her success staring in many Hollywood films, and Carrie made a name for herself portraying Princess Leia in Star Wars. Building upon the groundwork that her mother set, Carrie went on to grow her reputation to international proportions.
Debbie Reynolds – Carrie Fisher (23 Years Old)
The mother and daughter were close in many respects, and unfortunately, their deaths also coincided within a day of each other.
Janet Leigh – Jamie Lee Curtis (20 Years Old)
Janet Leigh had a well-known career in Hollywood as an American dancer and actress before passing in 2004. Her stunning performance in the movie Psycho portraying Marion Crane earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. Her daughter, Jamie Lee Curtis, is one example of a celebrity child that has made inroads to matching — and possibly exceeding — her mother’s success. Jamie Lee also won a Golden Globe Award in 1994 for her performance in Truth Lies.
Janet Leigh – Jamie Lee Curtis (20 Years Old)
Deviating from the path of acting, she’s taken up the hobby of writing children’s books, several of which are critically-acclaimed and earned her a spot on The New York Times best-seller list. Looking at the two women side by side, it’s easy to see that they share the same genes.
Anthony Perkins – Oz Perkins (27 Years Old)
Anthony Perkins is best known for playing in movies Friendly Persuasion and Alfred Hitchcock’s horror film, Psycho. He continued to play Norman Bates in the three Psycho sequels and was eventually nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Anthon y passed away in 1992 and left behind a son, Oz Perkins, who has inherited not only his dashing good looks but also his knack for acting.
Anthony Perkins – Oz Perkins (27 Years Old)
Thanks to his incredible resemblance to his father, he was able to play his father’s 12-year-old self in Psycho II. It seems that Oz’s niche is geared more towards writing and directing than acting, though. He is best known for his performance in Legally Blonde and has since made the switch to solely work in horror films. We’re not the slightest bit surprised.
Carrie Fisher – Billie Lourd (23 Years Old)
It’s hard to challenge the acting powerhouse that produced Billie Lourd. Her grandmother was the ever prolific Debbie Reynolds, who in 2015 received the pinnacle of achievements, the Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award (among a multitude of other awards). As if that didn’t set the foundation for Billie Lourd’s success well enough, her mother was Carrie Fisher, best known for her role as Princess Leia in the Star Wars films.
Carrie Fisher – Billie Lourd (23 Years Old)
In a tragic loss to Billie, both Debbie and Carrie died within a day of each other in December, 2016. Despite these life changing odds, Billie Lourd has been slowly building her fan base as an actress, playing characters in films such as Scream Queens and American Horror Story: Cult.
Lauryn Hill – John Nesta Marley (15 Years Old)
Lauryn Hill is a legendary hip-hop goddess and definitely on the top of any astute critic’s best singers list. She is a former member of the Fugees, a group that’s had multi-platinum success from their album The Score. Now, at 42 years old, Lauryn doesn’t seem to have aged a bit, and her teenage son John seems to have inherited many of her best features.
Lauryn Hill – John Nesta Marley (15 Years Old)
Though still young, John hasn’t earned the attention of modeling agents or music fans like many other celebrity children, but he still has some time. At 15 years old, we’ll give John a few more years before he makes the step into the celebrity spotlight like his singing powerhouse mother. Will he be able to beat his mother’s 8 Grammy nominations and five Grammy awards? We’re thinking he will do that and achieve so much more.
Naomi Judd – Ashley Judd (39 Years Old)
Naomi Judd seems to be a type-A kind of woman. She plans out her songs, she plans out her country music albums, and she probably planned out that her children would grow up to be just like her. Unfortunately for Naomi, not everything goes according to plan. Ashley Judd inherited her mother’s gorgeous smile, perfect nose, and incredible acting skills.
Naomi Judd – Ashley Judd (39 Years Old)
What she didn’t inherit was her decision to join the Judd singing group. By much of a surprise to her entire family, Ashley has used her skills as a political activist and has been among the slew of actresses who sued Harvey Weinstein for making defamatory remarks about her.
Steven Tyler – Liv Tyler (In Their Thirties)
Who can sing, act, play three instruments including the harmonica, and be the lead singer of rock band Aerosmith? In case you lived under a rock in the 70’s, it’s Steven Tyler! This massively popular Boston-based band’s lead singer, and model Bebe Buell married briefly and had daughter Liv Tyler in 1977. The resemblance between the two is stunning. Just look at those eyes! Liv initially wanted to model, but she stayed in that career path for only a year before turning her sights to acting.
Steven Tyler – Liv Tyler (In Their Thirties)
She has played roles in films such as Armageddon, and The Incredible Hulk. But there’s more to Liv than meets the eye. Her charitable contributions to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) have been so significant that she was named a Goodwill Ambassador to the United States in 2003. Do you remember the Emergen-C Pink energy drinks back in 2007? That was Liv’s idea. She, along with her mother and grandmother launched the product for Breast Cancer Awareness month. Go Liv!
Vanessa Paradis – Lily-Rose Melody Depp (18 Years Old)
If you needed proof that some children look identical to their beautiful parents, look no further than Lily-Rose Melody Depp. Born from a brief fling between actor Johnny Depp and French singer, songwriter, and actress Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose is increasingly capturing the attention of innumerable suitors. You might remember her mother Vanessa singing the hit single, ‘Joe Le Taxi.’
Vanessa Paradis – Lily-Rose Melody Depp (18 Years Old)
Lily-Rose decided not to sing like her mother, and instead has concentrated on other paths and has gone in the direction of acting and modeling. She was so determined to prioritize her modeling career that she actually dropped out of high school! She later declared on her Instagram that she would become the new face of Chanel.
Kim Basinger – Irene Baldwin (In Their Twenties)
Kim Basinger began her career in modeling in the 70 ‘s and quickly grew to one of the most iconic models of her generation. She moved to acting in 1976 and starting in supporting actress roles to soon becoming an iconic Bond Girl. Alec Baldwin and Kim welcomed their daughter Ireland (Irene) Baldwin to the world in 1995.
Kim Basinger – Irene Baldwin (In Their Twenties)
Ireland seems to be honing her skills in a similar fashion to her mother, as she’s taken her inherited good looks to the modeling world. She signed her first modeling contract at only 8 years old, and has since appeared in Elle and Vanity Fair.
Mick Jagger – Georgia May Jagger (25 Years Old)
With a name as iconic as Mick Jagger, the man needs no introduction. He has a career that spans almost the entirety of his entire life and a with such an outstanding singing and songwriting role in The Rolling Stones, it’s clear that his children will be on the fast path to greatness.
Mick Jagger – Georgia May Jagger (25 Years Old)
His daughter, Georgia May Jagger, moved away from the singing and songwriting path blazed by her father and instead opted for modeling. She has his lips, his eyes, and his nose, and still looks amazing. It looks like Mick Jagger’s androgynous looks are what captured our eyes and our hearts.
Robert Pine – Chris Pine (In Their Thirties)
How is it possible that both Robert Pine and his son Chris Pine have absolutely hypnotic looks… just once glance into either sets of those blue eyes and we can’t look away! Robert Pine has been acting in Hollywood for forty years, and he has no intentions of stopping anytime soon. He’s acted in films since 1964, and recently played the voice of Bishop in Frozen and also portrayed a character in the film Jobs.
Robert Pine – Chris Pine (In Their Thirties)
Chris has been following in his father’s shadow ever since he first started batting those mesmerizing blue eyes. They have an unique ability to portray any character with a very high level of skill and attention. In fact, Chris has done so well in his roles that he’s starred in multiple Star Trek films, as well as A Wrinkle In Time, and the 2017 fan favorite, Wonder Woman. It won’t be long before Chris’ smolder sends us all head over heels.
Gwyneth Paltrow – Apple Martin (13 Years Old)
Fourteen years ago, Gwyneth Patrow and then-husband Chris Martin welcomed their little bundle of joy, and started the trend of slightly off-kilter baby names that has continued to this day. Meet Apple Martin, who was shaded from the Hollywood limelight for over a decade by her protective parents.
Gwyneth Paltrow – Apple Martin (13 Years Old)
Only within the last year did Gwyneth post a picture of her daughter on her fourteenth birthday. Can you see that Apple is nearly a splitting image of her mom? She has her beautiful eyes, perfect nose, and darling lips, even for a fourteen year-old. We think we see modeling or acting in Apple’s future.
Jon Lennon – Sean Lennon (31 Years Old)
If Jon Lennon’s doppelganger was alive today, we’re thinking he would look exactly like his son, Sean Lennon. Jon, of course, was the legendary co-founder of the hit UK band, The Beatles, and stayed with the band as a singer and songwriter. He lived through the ’60s as a peace activist and also met Yoko Ono. Together, they started a family, and Sean Lennon was introduced to the world.
Jon Lennon – Sean Lennon (31 Years Old)
Sean took his father’s legendary talent for his own and began singing in the ’90s, but took a detour towards acting and has stayed the course since. While he has yet to achieve the international attention that his father received, he did inherit a lot of his similar looks, as well as his philanthropic and protest-driven nature. How was he involved in the Occupy Wall Street Protests of 2011? On the ground with everyone else protesting, of course.
Lisa Bonet – Zoë Kravitz (In Their Twenties)
Zoë Kravitz is an astounding beauty in Hollywood, most likely because of the combination of genes she received from her parents Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz. Her mother started her acting career on The Cosby Show as Denise Huxtable and later was featured on the sitcom A Different World.
Lisa Bonet – Zoë Kravitz (In Their Twenties)
From these two photos from the women in their twenties, we can clearly see that Zoë has the same breathtaking beauty as her mother — and also incredible acting skills as well. Zoë not only acts and models but also sings when she has time between movie and television show takes. Just shy of thirty years old, it won’t be long before we see her in another blockbuster like Mad Max: Fury Road or Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.
Josh Brolin – Eden Brolin (24 Years Old)
When Josh Brolin and Alice Adair married in 1988, they had two children. Together they welcomed Eden Brolin in 1994, and nobody at the time would have ever guessed that she not only inherited Josh’s stunning looks but also, his raw acting talent.
Josh Brolin – Eden Brolin (24 Years Old)
Though only 24 years old, already she’s known for portraying Charlie in the TV series Beyond and for her amazing roles in films like Back Fork and Manson’s Lost Girls. While you might remember Josh Brolin starring in films like No Country For Old Men, Eden prefers dramatic and fantasy series over the realistic roles portrayed by her father.
Martin Sheen – Charlie Sheen (28 Years Old)
A fun fact you might not know about Martin Sheen is that he is a first-generational American of Spanish and Irish descent. His legal name is Ramón Estévez, but he adopted the stage name Martin Sheen to help him get roles in different films. He knew back them what many immigrants with low privilege in our society have been saying all along: there’s a lot in a name. After conquering the acting world with roles in major films such as The Departed, Badlands, Apocalypse Now, and the television series The West Wing, he turned his sights to activism and has spoken at college campuses across the country on topics ranging from immigration to the environment.
Martin Sheen – Charlie Sheen (28 Years Old)
He is one of the most applauded and colorful characters in Hollywood. His son, Charlie Sheen, had fewer steps to climb as he began his work as an actor, is well known for his hit television series, Two And A Half Men, where he was the highest paid actor on television. It’s really amazing how far the apple can fall from the tree, as Martin is known for his incredibly positive achievement and Charlie is now infamous for his drug and alcohol abuse and domestic violence allegations.
Tom Hanks – Colin Hanks (25 Years Old)
We think Tom Hanks and son Colin look so similar that Colin could do a remake of Tom’s 2000 starring role in Cast Away! Get your Wilson balls ready, people. All jokes aside, Tom has had a remarkable acting career that started almost fifty years ago. Colin has been tottering around his father’s giant footsteps ever since he was a baby in the 90’s. At 25, Colin hasn’t quite had the acting success that his father had at the same age.
Tom Hanks – Colin Hanks (25 Years Old)
He portrayed a character in the movie King Kong and has played Gus in the TV series Fargo. He was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Fargo, but didn’t get to take it home. Don’t fret, Colin! There’s still time to surpass your father’s glory.
Stellan Skarsgård – Alexander Skarsgård (35 Years Old)
Stellan Skarsgård is not only a total hunk, but performed incredibly well in movies such as Cinderella, Thor: The Dark World, and Good Will Hunting. The 67-year-old Swedish-born actor and father has no intentions to stop his work in acting or guiding his son along, either. Alexander Skarsgård has a nice younger version of his father’s smoldering good looks and has the same beautiful blue eyes, dreamy gaze, and conveniently did not inherit his father’s early-receding hairline.
Stellan Skarsgård – Alexander Skarsgård (35 Years Old)
Even though he would probably be able to switch to modeling anytime, he has worked hard in his roles in True Blood, Tarzan, and Straw Dogs. In fact, his performances have been award winning! He won a Primetime Emmy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Golden Globe Award for his role in Big Little Lies.
Melanie Griffith – Dakota Johnson (25 Years Old)
Dakota Johnson of the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise did not start her acting career as the meek, amiable woman that her character would have us assume… in fact, she’s the daughter of a power couple straight out of the 80’s — Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson. Looking at Dakota and Melanie side by side, you might think that this mother-daughter duo were sisters!
Melanie Griffith – Dakota Johnson (25 Years Old)
