Famous Actors Whose Kids Look Exactly Like Them

Monica May 20, 2024

Resembling a parent can go one of two ways. We either love looking like them or want to look as different than them as physically possible. It could also go either way if you’re the parent and you have kids. Either way, we have zero control and don’t have a choice in the matter, and if we end up looking like our parents or our kids look like us, that’s up to the gene pool. But we regular people aren’t the only ones who have a striking resemblance to our kids or parents.

Actors do, too. You might not have known there are almost exact replicas of Uma Thurman, Tom Hanks, Kim Kardashian, and Kate Moss walking around this planet. These celebs have little mini-me’s to continue with their legacy, even if they might not have followed in their acting or modeling footsteps.

Kate Beckinsale and Lily Mo Sheen

There’s never been a more accurate way to say, “like mother like daughter.” Kate Beckinsale and her daughter Lily Mo Sheen look exactly like each other. Now that Lily is grown up, she looks more like her mother than ever before. Kate even plays around with the resemblance, and sends Lily texts like, ” ‘I do see it. Yeah, I do. Sometimes I’ll send her a text saying, ‘Get your face!’ ‘She’s like a better version. She’s got something that I don’t.” She’s already starred in several movies and seems to be following in her mother’s footsteps. If she’s as successful as her mother, she’ll be one of several actors hitting the big screen (via Daily Mail).

She’s taught me a lot about self-confidence.” She’s just one of those kids who followed in her parent’s footsteps (via Yahoo).

Barbra Streisand and Jason Gould

Famous idol Barbra Streisand passed along her sharp chin and nose to her son Jason Gould. He’s a singer and famous actor that followed in his mother’s footsteps. Even though he inherited her looks, he also inherited her talent and acting skills. He began singing on stage with his mom nearly a decade ago, and several years ago he said, “I honestly didn’t know if I could do it. I had never performed in front of anybody so going from zero to like 18,000 people was quite a challenge.” Thanks to his mom, he was able to overcome this fear (via People).
