These Celebrity Kids Look Exactly Like Their Famous Dads
These celebrity kids look so much like their famous fathers that sometimes we do a double-take when we see them in photos.
Kids looking like their biological parents is nothing new. But kids looking so much like their celebrity parent, they could pass as twins? Now that’s next-level. Why? First, because they’re the offspring of a celebrity heavily followed by the media, and second, because we’re all admittedly (and some of us not-so-embarrassingly) obsessed with celebs. Sorry, not sorry.
Just look at Reese Witherspoon and her daughter, Ava. The 23-year-old is nearly the spitting image of her mom at that age — with a dash of Ryan Phillippe’s good looks, of course. And then you have Kaia Gerber, Cindy Crawford’s daughter, who not only looks just like her mom but is following in her modeling footsteps, too.
But it isn’t just celeb moms and their mini-me daughters. We’ve seen plenty of celeb kids who look so much like their fathers, it freaks us out. From Chris Martin to Jay Z and John Lennon to Steven Tyler, some of these kids are taking after their dads in more ways than one and we can’t wait to see the family legacy continue — even if it seeing these kids on the red carpet makes us feel like we’re going back in time to their famous dads’ early years of success.
Check out the list of celebrity kids that look exactly like their famous dads below!

Meanwhile, his older sister, Violet, looks identical to their mom.
David Beckham & Brooklyn Beckham
It’s a no-brainer that David and Victoria Beckham would produce gorgeous offspring. Just look at their eldest child, Brooklyn. No, he isn’t on his way to becoming a world-famous soccer player like his dad; instead, he’s a jack of all trades. He’s a photographer, a chef and a model.
Kurt Russell & Wyatt Russell
While Goldie Hawn’s daughter Kate Hudson might look like a carbon copy of her mom, Goldie’s son Wyatt looks exactly like his dad Kurt Russell — right down to those electric-blue eyes.

Will Smith & Jaden
Jaden is a force in the music world, much like his dad, Will Smith. While Jaden hasn’t become a full-blown movie star yet, he did star alongside his dad in the 2006 film The Pursuit of Happyness as his first movie role. He was also featured in the Netflix show The Get Down and starred in Life in a Year alongside Cara Delevingne.
Jude Law & Rafferty Law
27-year-old Rafferty Law is the eldest of Jude Law’s three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost.

Clint Eastwood & Scott
Scott's been following in his dad Clint Eastwood's footsteps for quite some time now, building up an impressive acting résumé for himself.

Chris Martin & Moses
Moses is only 18 years old, but he already knows what he wants to be: a singer and performer just like his dad, Chris Martin. In 2016, the father-son duo performed a cover of Twenty One Pilots’ “House of Gold,” with Moses rocking the mic and killing it.
Dennis Quaid & Jack
I’m sorry, you didn’t know Dennis Quaid had a son? And wait, you didn’t know he’s an actor, too? Do us a favor and rewatch the first two Hunger Games films — he’s Marvel! Jack’s been in plenty of films and TV shows since then, like Plus One and The Boys.
Arnold Schwarzenegger & Patrick
Of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger and his ex-wife Maria Shriver would raise incredibly good-looking, incredibly talented children. Their son Patrick has had quite a few roles in films and television shows already, including Grown Ups 2 and Scream Queens an Midnight Sun.
Sean Lennon & John Lennon
John Lennon’s only son with Yoko Ono looks uncannily like him. The Beatles member was sadly killed when Sean was just five years old but that hasn’t stopped Sean from carrying on his father’s memory with his own music career.
Donald Faison & Rocco
Rocco, 9, looks more like his dad, Donald Faison, the older he gets — the only thing that sets these two apart is the hair.

Ice Cube & O’Shea Jackson
In 2015, our minds were collectively blown when Ice Cube's son O'Shea Jackson starred in the film Straight Outta Compton, playing the role of his dad — because not only does he clearly have the looks, he's got the acting chops, just like his dad.
Lily Rose & Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose is only 25 and she’s already building up an impressive IMDb page.
Not only is she an actress — having starred in Yoga Hosers and The Summoning in 2016 and the notorious Sam Levinson series The Idol — but she’s also a model.
Jack & Gordon Ramsay
Jack is one-half of Gordon Ramsay’s now-24-year-old twins. Along with twin sister Holly, Jack has one older sister, a younger one and a little brother.
Despite their similarities, Jack has not taken after his dad in her chef career. Gordon revealed in October 2020 that Jack joined the United Kingdom’s Royal Marines, a division of the U.K.’s Navy.
Usher Raymond IV & Naviyd Raymond
Usher Raymond IV — better known as simply Usher — has two sons, Usher Raymond V and Naviyd Ely Raymond, but it just so happens that 14-year-old Naviyd looks far more like his dad.
