You will find that some of our most beloved celebrities have passed on genes to their children, whether you love them or hate them! Some have a striking resemblance, and some look strikingly similar in terms of success, fame, and personality. That being said, if you look at them side by side when they’re the same age, we’re sure you’re going to be blown away!
Scott Eastwood – Clint Eastwood (30 years old)
Back in the day, Clint Eastwood was once the most sought after Hollywood actor. He’s still quite famous these days, though we daresay that his child has yet to get the same fame as he did. It seems he didn’t give his son much advice on earning international success! But Scott worked hard and is a talented actor himself. We are sure that his father’s resemblance did not conform to his disadvantage. He may have started from scratch, but you should know he’s recently cast as Little Nobody in The Fate of The Furious.
Scott Eastwood – Clint Eastwood (30 years old)
Goldie Hawn – Kate Hudson (25 Years Old)
We doubt you’re surprised that Goldie Hawn is the mother of some beautiful children. After appearing on the CBS comedy program Good Morning World, she got her breakthrough. She’s been a star for over three decades now, and she’s been working on various big-screen projects. She might be older than before, though her looks and talent live on in her beautiful daughter Kate Hudson. The younger woman is, just like her mother, a great actress who has made her mark in the industry. However, Hawn seems not interested in collaborating on a film. If we consider their net worth, they have no trouble rejecting offers they don’t like!
Goldie Hawn – Kate Hudson (25 Years Old)
Minnie Ripperton – Maya Rudolph (29 Years Old)
Back in the ’70s, Lovin’ You became a huge hit, and it is considered one of the best works by Minnie Ripperton, a singer-songwriter. She was only present in her child Maya Rudolph’s life for seven years, though it seems like her daughter inherited her stage presence nonetheless. Fun fact: near the end of the song, you can hear the musician sing ‘Maya!’ Sadly, due to Minnie’s passing, the two never actually went together on stage. Maya may not sing like her mother, but she’s certainly a riot performing her comedy acts!
Minnie Ripperton – Maya Rudolph (29 Years Old)
Kirk Douglas – Michael Douglas (30 Years Old)
You might be familiar with the Douglas family if you watched the 2003 film It Runs in the Family. After all, the film featured three family generations! One of the film’s key points is about having parents with traits one can be proud of, though we know that genetics is practically a lottery. Kirk Douglas must have set an example for his son, and his career now spans almost 70 years. Michael inherited Kirk’s looks, talents, and immunity to hair loss. It’s been about five decades since Michael entered the industry, and since then, he’s handed the baton over to his son, Cameron.
Kirk Douglas – Michael Douglas (30 Years Old)
Blythe Danner – Gwyneth Paltrow (30 Years Old)
Blythe Danner made her acting debut in the ’70s, with many accolades under her belt. She has both an Emmy Award and a Tony Award.

Danner is mainly involved in health and environmental activism, while Paltrow is passionate about women’s and children ‘s rights. She’s also a successful businesswoman who founded Goop. The two are close, and how they coordinate their outfits is proof of their special relationship!

Heath Ledger – Matilda Ledger (9 Years Old)
Matilda Rose Ledger resembles her late dad, Heath Ledger, an extremely talented actor who died about a decade ago. The young girl is currently living with her mother and the Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams. Matilda Rose seems to inherit her parents’ good looks, love for adventure, and her parents’ fashion style. We can’t deny Heath Ledger left us a fantastic legacy. However, we’re sure his daughter was his best treasure. Only time will tell if she’ll perform.
Heath Ledger – Matilda Ledger (9 Years Old)
Christopher Reeve – Will Reeve (25 Years Old)
Will Reeve has experienced, to say the least, heartbreaking things. His father, Christopher Reeve, died as an 11-year-old boy, and just two years later, his mother, Dana Reeve, died of lung cancer. He was an orphan, so he did not receive the love and affection that every child deserves. Understandably, for some time, his mental health has been quite a mess, but we’re glad to hear that he’s been able to move on with his life. He was able to get a college degree and now works for ESPN as a contributor.
Christopher Reeve – Will Reeve (25 Years Old)
Paul Walker – Meadow Rain Walker (19 Years Old)
Paul Walker effectively left his entire estate to Meadow Rain Walker, his young daughter, when he passed away in a car crash. Since she turned out to be a lovely woman, we’re not worried! We’re sure she’ll be responsible for her inheritance. Did you know she was celebrating the birthday of her late father differently? On that day, in honor of her father, she urged her Instagram followers to do good deeds and post a photo of it.
Paul Walker – Meadow Rain Walker (19 Years Old)
Meryl Streep – Mamie Gummer (31 Years Old)
Being a child of a celebrity must be challenging, but can you imagine how difficult it must be to be the daughter of Meryl Streep?! We’re sure it’s incredibly hard to work with the pressure, though Mamie and Grace Gummer seem to have things under control. The daughters of the Academy Award winner also dived into acting, though it might take them a while to achieve the same level of success as their mother. Fortunately, Meryl seems to support their choices and even starred at Mamie in Ricki and Flash!
Meryl Streep – Mamie Gummer (31 Years Old)
Jerry Stiller – Ben Stiller (39 Years Old)
You won’t wonder where Ben Stiller got his sharp good looks, comedic timing, and acting skills if you’re familiar with his parents. Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller were his parents, making him a royal Hollywood baby. Besides his impressive net worth, Ben Stiller also seems to inherit his father’s comedy talent. Did you know that the duo has also appeared in movies together? You can watch them in action in the film Heartbreak Kid, Zoolander, and Heavyweights. Ben seems to handle pressure effortlessly, and we’re excited to see what he’ll do next!
Jerry Stiller – Ben Stiller (39 Years Old)
Robert Downey Jr. – Indio Downey (24 Years Old)
Well, there’s plenty to say about Robert Downey Jr. Captain America: Civil War Star was a Hollywood A-lister, millionaire, playboy, party animal, and drug rehab patient, depending on what point in history you’re talking about. We bet that you don’t know he’s a proud dad, either! He expressed on Facebook how proud he was of his son, Indio Downey, for his musical talent and sobriety. The two seem to share many things in common, and the list includes issues of substance abuse and artistry.
Robert Downey Jr. – Indio Downey (24 Years Old)
Jim Carrey – Jackson Riley Santana (8 Years Old)
For all his slapstick comedy over the years, you probably know Jim Carrey. In Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, and Bruce Almighty, he’s shown a specific comedy style. During his career, he has accumulated a fortune of $150 million. Did you know that his daughter, Jane Erin Carrey, gave birth in 2010 to her child? Yep, Jim Carrey is the proud grandfather of Jackson Riley Santana, Jane, and her former husband, Alex Santana.
Jim Carrey – Jackson Riley Santana (8 Years Old)
Heidi Klum – Leni Samuel (Age 14)
Heidi Klum has passed on her model genes to her gorgeous eldest daughter, Helene Boshoven Samuel, as one of the most successful supermodels of all time. She is already a teenager, affectionally known as Leni, and has all the makings for a cover girl and runway model in the upcoming years.
Heidi Klum Leni Samuel (Age 14)
John Travolta – Ella Bleu Travolta (Age 18)
The daughter of John Travolta and Kelly Preston, both Hollywood giants, is Ella Bleu Travolta. Ella Bleu has only turned 18 and is already following her father’s star-studded footsteps by becoming an actress. Having celebrity parents has given her a head start in life, but she has also shot through various acting ventures to the limelight in her own right. Recently, she starred alongside her father in the Disney movie Old Dogs and is set to star in the film The Poison Rose.

Elizabeth Taylor – Quinn Tivey (30 Years Old)
The extraordinarily beautiful and talented movie actress Elizabeth Taylor is best known for her excellent performance in Cleopatra. Her looks also gave her legendary status in Hollywood. She could have died some time ago, but she has no fear as her lovely features and innate kindness lives on in Quinn Tivey, her grandchild. The young man is devoted to charity work, and his involvement in the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation clearly shows this.
Elizabeth Taylor – Quinn Tivey (30 Years Old)
Silas Timberlake
Silas Timberlake has just turned three and has already visited more countries in a lifetime than most of us do. Well, his parents are among the most renowned and talented stars on the planet, so that we can see why. Similarities can be seen with his pop legend dad, Justin Timberlake, and Hollywood actress Jessica Biel. On Justin’s recent album tour, the lucky little guy will have the opportunity to travel around Europe.
Silas Timberlake1
Nicholas Iglesias
Last December, in Miami, Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova welcomed their adorable twins, Lucy and Nicholas, into the world, and you can already see the family resemblance. Enrique, the Spanish pop-legend and tennis champion Anna Kournikova, first met in 2001 on Enrique’s Escape music video and has been strong ever since. While the talented couple is notoriously private about their personal lives, Enrique said he hopes to be “first and foremost a good father and raise them properly.” Well, we can’t wait to see if they have a bright future as tennis champions or pop stars, or both!
Nicholas Iglesias
Robert Redford & Amy Redford
Have any of you ever heard of a renowned actor, Robert Redford? Well, did you know that he had a 49-year-old daughter named Amy? Amy got her dad’s fiery red hair, big blue eyes, and a perfect nose. She also followed in his footsteps, along with inheriting his good looks. Amy is a well-known actress, producer, and director.
Robert Redford & Amy Redford
Mel Gibson – Milo Gibson (27 Years Old)
After Mel Gibson starred in movies like Lethal Weapon, Brave Heart, and Mad Max, he became a household name. With his former wife, Robyn Moore, he had a son named Milo. We are a little envious that Milo has inherited his dad’s beautiful eyes and perfect nose. It seems like Milo decided to follow the example of his dad, and he was reported to be working on multiple projects. Hopefully, he will be able to achieve the impressive success his father achieved later on.
Mel Gibson – Milo Gibson (27 Years Old)
Cher & Chaz Bono
Having two famous and talented parents meant that Chaz inherited the family gene. He is a musician, actor, and entertainer. Cher is one of thebusiness’s business’s baving significant shoes that will probably never be filled. However, Chaz says that Cher has always been an overprotective mother. Well, we hope Chaz finds some luck in the business.
Cher & Chaz Bono
Salma Hayek & Valentina Pinault
Sama Hayek is a well-known film and TV actress. Valentina Paloma Renault is the name of her 12-year-old beautiful daughter. This young girl inherited her mom’s gorgeous curly locks, full eyebrows, nose, eye shape and color, and full lips.
Salma Hayek & Valentina Pinault
Prince Michael Jackson II
The resemblance of the family between Prince Michael Jackson II and his late father, Michael, crowned the King of Pop, can already be seen. Prince is growing up fast, and he’s already a teenager. While his father, Michael, was in the spotlight from a young age, Prince prefers to stay away from the spotlight to focus on being a normal teenager. And we get why!
Prince Michael Jackson II
Elvis Presley – Benjamin Keough (25 Years Old)
Lisa Mary Presley, meanwhile, has a son named Benjamin Keough. Yes, this makes the young man the King’s only grandchild! He is also the beneficiary of his estate, of course. He looks just like his grandfather, but then again, his mother is the musician’s carbon copy, as well. Since then, Ben has dipped his toes into music and was even called Elvis Presley’s reincarnation!
Elvis Presley – Benjamin Keough (25 Years Old)
Kate Beckinsale – Lily Sheen (17 Years Old)
In our eyes, there’s no doubt that Kate Beckinsale is proud of her daughter. Recently, on her Instagram account, Kate posted a photo of Lily Sheen, and you can see that the young girl looks more like her instead of Michael Sheen. Beckinsale enjoyed a successful acting career filled with the most significant blockbuster movies. Her daughter has not expressed any interest in following her footsteps so far, although if she wants to pursue acting, we are sure she will be great at it!
Kate Beckinsale – Lily Sheen (17 Years Old)
Charlie Chaplin – Oona Castilla Chaplin (30 Years Old)
Charlie Chaplin is an icon, and we firmly believe that he is one of the greatest filmmakers ever to exist. During the ’20s to the’ 40s, he left his mark as a silent film star and a talented comedian. We’re pretty sure, though, that you don’t know he’s the granddad of Oona Chaplin, the actress who portrayed Talisa Maegyr in HBO’s Game of Thrones. It was in the Spanish and British entertainment industry that she began acting. She’ll also be starring in an Avatar movie soon.
Charlie Chaplin – Oona Castilla Chaplin (30 Years Old)
Patrick Swayze – Jason Whittle (40 Years Old)
There is no way that his controversies will be left out if you want to talk about Patrick Swayze. There is, amongst other things, a story about Jason Whittle and his mother. She told him that he was the result of a 1972 rendezvous! This remains unverified, though we strongly recommend that they take a DNA test for everyone’s peace of mind.
Patrick Swayze Jason Whittle 40 Years Old
Sunday & Faith Kidman
Meet Sunday and Faith, a carbon copy of their mother, Nicole Kidman, a multi-award – winning actress, father, Keith Urban, the singer, songwriter, and record producer. Nicole is so proud of her adorable daughters that she recently dedicated her Golden Globes Award for Little Big Lies. The girls are now 7 and 9 years of age and growing up fast, and we can’t wait to see if they inherited some of their talented parents acting or singing skills.
Sunday Faith Kidman
Kurt Cobain – Frances Bean Cobain(24 Years Old)
We are sure the world will never forget the music legend that is Kurt Cobain. He is, after all, one of the reasons that Nirvana exists, right? He and Courtney Love have a daughter named Frances Bean Cobain. But she’s passionate about modeling and visual arts, so she didn’t get into music. In 1994, her father passed away, and the whole world suffered a significant loss. However, we are sure that he left a vast inheritance to Frances that would last her a lifetime.
Kurt Cobain – Frances Bean Cobain(24 Years Old)
Pierce Brosnan – Isabella Sophie Smith (5 Years Old)
The James Bond star, Pierce Brosnan, effectively became a grandfather after Charlotte had given birth to Isabella Sophie in 1998. However, as she had had cancer seven years ago, Charlotte’s mother, Cassandra, was not there to share the happy moment. Charlotte also succumbed to ovarian cancer at only 42 years of age in 2013, at a tragic turn of events. Isabella may be a young adult now, although we’re sure she’s always going to be a little girl to her grandfather.
Pierce Brosnan – Isabella Sophie Smith (5 Years Old)
Bruce Willis – Rumer Willis (18 Years Old)
It would be difficult to keep a low-profile if you were the child of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. However, you should know that, in her own right, Rumer Willis is a talented actress! If you look at these photos, both taken when they were 18, you can see that Rumer had her father’s eyes, nose, and smile. Rumer made her acting debut back in the ’90s, although her performance in the movie House Bunny served as her breakthrough role. You can catch her on the TV show Empire nowadays.
Bruce Willis – Rumer Willis (18 Years Old)
Peggy Lipton – Rashida Jones (30 Years Old)
The queens of cult television are Rashida Jones and Peggy Lipton! For her equally lovely and talented daughter, Rashida Jones, it seems like Peggy Lipton acted as a kind of predecessor. Although Rashida did not become a model like her mother, she is, in her own right, a wonderful actress, singer, and producer. Interestingly, the pair have appeared together in a 2015 Verizon commercial as well as in Angie Tribeca.
Peggy Lipton – Rashida Jones (30 Years Old)
Robert Downey Sr. – Robert Downey Jr. (34 Years Old)
Robert Downey Sr. indeed served as his son’s role model, who portrayed Iron Man in Marvel’s cinematic universe. As a filmmaker and an actor, the older Downey gentleman experienced a lot of success, although he ended up retiring in 2013. While the younger actor tended to appear in action and comic book works, he was particularly active in the art house scene. Downey Jr. continues to star in different projects, and we are sure that his current $180 million fortune will grow some more in the long run.
Robert Downey Sr. – Robert Downey Jr. (34 Years Old)
Debbie Reynolds – Carrie Fisher (23 Years Old)
As both an actress and a singer, Debbie Reynolds achieved a lot, though, in her later years, she also dipped her toes into business. Her biggest accomplishment was giving birth to Carrie Fisher, another prominent talent and outstanding lady. The younger woman also became a huge actress with an impressive net value in Hollywood. Unfortunately, on December 27, 2016, she passed away. In a tragic turn of events, the following day, Debbie died of a broken heart.
Debbie Reynolds – Carrie Fisher (23 Years Old)
Janet Leigh – Jamie Lee Curtis (20 Years Old)
There is no denying that before she died in 2004, actress and dancer, Janet Leigh enjoyed a successful career. Her impact will never be forgotten, and besides, her daughter Jamie Lee Curtis is a fantastic author and actress herself. There seems to be a ‘Scream Queen’ gene running through their bloodlines! In the classic film Psycho, Janet Leigh was simply incredible, while in various horror movies, Jamie Lee was also a hit.
Janet Leigh – Jamie Lee Curtis (20 Years Old)
Anthony Perkins – Oz Perkins (27 Years Old)
In projects like Psycho and Friendly Persuasion, Anthony Perkins is perhaps best known for his portrayal of various characters. His career lasted almost four decades and only came to an end with his death in 1992. Nevertheless, in his footsteps, his child Oz followed and picked up where the older Perkins actor left off. Oz inherited his father’s acting chops, and he has been acting since he portrayed the 12-year-old version of his father’s character in Psycho II. He also dipped his toes into acting in teen movies, though later, he focused on directing and writing horror movies.
Anthony Perkins – Oz Perkins (27 Years Old)
Carrie Fisher – Billie Lourd (23 Years Old)
Billie Lourd probably had to deal with a lot of pressure, considering her maternal family’s talent and fame. Fortunately, she was up to the challenge and delivered accordingly. She is none other than Carrie Fisher’s daughter. This turns her into Debbie Reynolds’ granddaughter. As her mother and grandmother passed away in quick succession towards the end of the year, we are sure that 2016 was a tough time for her. But the young woman managed, despite everything, to move forward gracefully. You might even saw her in American Horror Story: Cult and Scream Queens!
Carrie Fisher – Billie Lourd (23 Years Old)
Lauryn Hill – John Nesta Marley (15 Years Old)
In any crowd, you will notice Lauryn Hill. She is still breathtakingly gorgeous at the age of 42, apart from the fact that she used to be part of the legendary hip-hop group the Fugees. It’s not all that surprising when you consider how beautiful she was as a teenager. She seems to have passed on her significant genes to John, her teenage son. With his looks and lineage, there is no doubt that if this young man decides he wants to be one, he can become a star!
Lauryn Hill – John Nesta Marley (15 Years Old)
Naomi Judd – Ashley Judd (39 Years Old)
Do you think Naomi Judd, the actress and country musician, expected her children to be as talented as she was? Ashley Judd served, although she was not eager to follow in her mother’s footsteps. She certainly got her mom’s acting chops and beautiful locks, even though she didn’t end up joining The Judds. Instead, she chose to pursue her political interests. And how cool that?
Naomi Judd – Ashley Judd (39 Years Old)
Steven Tyler – Liv Tyler (In Their Thirties)
As a singer-songwriter and instrumentalist, Steven Tyler has become a cultural icon. Of course, without mentioning his popular rock band, Aerosmith, it would be a complete detriment to him, as well. He may have a lot of physical resemblance to his daughter Liv, although we’re not sure how great she’s in singing. Regardless, as both a model and an actress, she has already found her success.
Steven Tyler – Liv Tyler (In Their Thirties)
Vanessa Paradis – Lily-Rose Melody Depp (18 Years Old)
Lily-Rose Paradis is a living proof that it can be entirely seamless to inherit the good looks of your parents. Her mother is Vanessa Paradis, a French-born musician and actress who gained international fame when she released ‘Joe Le Taxi.’ Her parents got involved in a short amount of time, and this lead to her birth. We’re sure that if she wants, she could be a talented model or actress!
Vanessa Paradis – Lily-Rose Melody Depp (18 Years Old)
Kim Basinger – Irene Baldwin (In Their Twenties)
The singer, model, and actress Kim Basinger has earned a lot of success and fame for all of her work, although she is perhaps best known as a Bond Girl. She and Alec Baldwin, from Ireland, have a daughter. As far as looks are concerned, the younger woman took after her mother and used it to her financial advantage. Although she has yet to achieve the same level of success as her parents, she is also a model and actress.
Kim Basinger – Irene Baldwin (In Their Twenties)
Mick Jagger – Georgia May Jagger (25 Years Old)
The English songwriter and singer is not someone whom you need to introduce themselves. For almost 50 years now, Mick Jagger has been one of the most influential rock and roll figures. As a model, Georgia May, his daughter, is rapidly earning international fame. She inherited those fascinating and unique looks from her father.
Mick Jagger – Georgia May Jagger (25 Years Old)
Robert Pine – Chris Pine (In Their Thirties)
Why does it seem that the Pine men have the genetic traits to hypnotize you with their striking looks? Their family is bound to achieve success when the guys look like this. As an actor, Robert Pine might have spent 40 years now, although he still manages to be relevant in the industry. Of course, his son Chris isn’t far behind. Along with the incredible acting gene, he inherited the same piercing blue eyes!
Robert Pine – Chris Pine (In Their Thirties)
Gwyneth Paltrow – Apple Martin (13 Years Old)
Gwyneth Paltrow might have become one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, though she has always done her best to keep her kids with Chris Martin out of the publics’ eye. However, she recently uploaded a picture of her teenage daughter. Apple inherited her famous mother’s striking looks, although the verdict is still out if she’s as talented!
Gwyneth Paltrow – Apple Martin (13 Years Old)
John Lennon – Sean Lennon (31 Years Old)
John Lennon was used to the spotlight as a member of the legendary English band The Beatles. He was an activist for peace and the father of a son who seems to have followed in his footsteps. Back in the ’90s, Sean Lennon started performing, and he dipped his toes into acting too. His father has left a great legacy, so we will not blame him if he can not achieve the same status for quite some time.
Jon Lennon – Sean Lennon (31 Years Old)
Lisa Bonet – Zoë Kravitz (In Their Twenties)
Zoë Kravitz is gorgeous, and when we discovered that she was the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet, we expected nothing more. Her mother portrayed Denise Huxtable at the Cosby Show, and she appeared in the sitcom A Different World. Lisa and Zoë are very similar in appearance, and both are talented women. Zoë works as an actress, a singer, and a model, and she’s on her way to stardom as well!
Lisa Bonet – Zoë Kravitz (In Their Twenties)
Josh Brolin – Eden Brolin (24 Years Old)
Eden Brolin was born to Josh Brolin and Alice Adair back in 1994. Her father, Josh, had a stellar career, and this young woman seems to have inherited her acting chops from him! She’s been causing a stir in the film industry relatively recently, and she also appeared in Manson’s Lost Girls and Black Fork movies.
Josh Brolin – Eden Brolin (24 Years Old)
Martin Sheen – Charlie Sheen (28 Years Old)
Did you know that Martin Sheen, an American actor, was the son of an immigrant? He wanted his children to live more comfortably than he did, so he worked hard to become a huge name and an activist. Charlie Sheen is proud, we’re sure, to have him as a lookalike and a father. We must say that while they seem similar, they have quite different personalities. Martin is always praised for his activism, while his son Charlie is famous for controversy.
Martin Sheen – Charlie Sheen (28 Years Old)
Tom Hanks – Colin Hanks (25 Years Old)
Oh man, can you believe how similar Tom and Colin Hanks look? For nearly fifty years now, Tom has enjoyed a great career as an actor to lightly. Colin, meanwhile, has been active since the late ’90s in the industry. On his own, he has earned a fair amount of success, although we are sure that he looks like his famous father helped him along the way.
Tom Hanks – Colin Hanks (25 Years Old)
Stellan Skarsgård – Alexander Skarsgård (35 Years Old)
In the movies, Thor: The Dark World, Good Will Hunting, and Cinderella, did you enjoy watching Stellan Skarsgård appear? If so, we’re sure you’re just as fond of Alexander, his gorgeous son. The younger man inherited the smoldering gaze of his father, his lovely eyes, and his immunity to hair loss. We certainly think he’s capable of filling in for his dad. If you want to confirm it, you just need to watch his Tarzan, Straw Dogs, and True Blood performances!
Stellan Skarsgård – Alexander Skarsgård (35 Years Old)
