Celebrities, whether well-liked or despised and their children live in the spotlight. It’s obvious to see how the children have acquired their famous parents’ genes, both physically and psychologically. Not every child of an actor or actress will go on to become an actor or actress themselves.
Each child of the celebrities is unique, and you can be confident that they have lived extraordinary lives. When you put them side by side at the same age, you’ll be amazed at how similar they look. Here we have plucked a list of celebrities and their kids looking amazingly similar at the same age.
1. Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson
It’s no wonder that Goldie Hawn is the mother of some stunning children. She rose to stardom thanks to the CBS comedy Good Morning World, and has since created a name for herself in the industry that has lasted more than thirty years. Her exquisite beauty and tremendous talent have handed down to her daughter (Kate Hudson), despite the fact that she has aged inexorably since those early days.
Kate has had a lot of success as an actor and has worked on a lot of different projects. Given their respective achievements, it’s understandable that Goldie Hawn is wary about collaborating with her daughter. Whether the rumors are accurate or not, they are well-off enough to turn down any offers that require them to work together.
2. Blythe Danner – Gwyneth Paltrow
Since the 1970s, the lovely Blythe Danner has done a lot in her Hollywood career. It’s no surprise that her beautiful daughter Gwyneth Paltrow has followed in her mother’s brilliant footsteps, having won both an Emmy and a Tony Award. Gwyneth Paltrow is a well-known actress, businesswoman, and activist who inherited not only gorgeous features but also talent and a compassionate nature.
Mom and daughter are still close, and they both want to raise awareness about a variety of social concerns and advocate for human rights. They frequently coordinate clothing and are not afraid to defend one another if required.
3. Kirk Douglas – Michael Douglas
It runs in the Family, a 2003 film, was a good example of how genetics can be passed down from fathers to sons. It’s easy to see why the Douglas men have had so much success in Hollywood after covering three generations of the Douglas family. Michael Douglas inherited his father Kirk Douglas’s good features, natural talent for acting, and gorgeous hair.
Cameron, in turn, received the famed Douglas genes, and with such a successful family line, it’s understandable that Cameron feels a lot of pressure to succeed! We would love to see a lot of Cameron’s amazing work and wish him the best of luck in his endeavors!
4. Kate Beckinsale – Lily Sheen
Lily Sheen, the daughter of Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen, is a carbon copy of her beautiful mother. Kate has had a phenomenal career with many blockbuster films such as Much Ado about Nothing Haunted, Absolutely anything, Love & Friendship and much more. We are sure that this super talented actress has passed on some of her skills to her daughter Lily Sheen.
Lily hasn’t indicated any interest in following in her parents’ footsteps, but we’re confident she could do so with ease if she so desired! Wouldn’t you agree that she has a considerably more innocent-looking face than her vampire-slaying mother?
5. Heath Ledger – Matilda Ledger
Film: 10 things I hate about you
Matilda Rose Ledger, the young daughter of Heath Ledger, has an uncanny likeness to her father. Although her father did not have the opportunity to meet her because he died when she was only two years old, he left a lovely legacy for her to uncover. Matilda lives with her mother, Michelle Williams, who is no stranger to professional success.
This young lady has evident physical features as well as a great adventurous spirit, and who knows if she may wish to follow in her late father’s path in the future. We will keep our fingers crossed to see the Matilda stun the world with her performance on screen.
6. Melanie Griffith – Dakota Johnson
Dakota Johnson is best known for playing Anastasia Steele in the phenomenally popular Fifty Shades of Grey film franchise. But you may not know that she is Don Johnson’s and Melanie Griffith’s daughter! This 80s power couple passed down their talents and stunning looks to their daughter, who is making the most of them! How could we have overlooked the family resemblance? Maybe it had something to do with Dakota’s slightly more heavenly beauty.
But look at the picture of mother and daughter; they have the same lips, nose, and eyes as each other. That’s right, and it’s the same face.
7. Scott Eastwood – Clint Eastwood
Clint Eastwood is a well-known actor who has had tremendous success in Hollywood for decades. He’s still in demand, having directed a film as recently as 2019. While his son, Scott Eastwood, has yet to reach the heights of celebrity that his father did, the family resemblance is undeniable! Scott has worked hard in the profession since the beginning to establish his own name.
He was recently cast in The Fate of the Furious as Little Nobody, and this could be the break he’s been waiting for. We wish Scott Eastwood a successful career in film industry as his father had.
8. Mel Gibson – Milo Gibson
Mel Gibson’s portrayal of William Wallace in Braveheart, released in 1995, is legendary! Mel Gibson is a father figure to aspire to, with films like Lethal Weapon and Passion of the Christ to his credit. Milo Gibson is doing exactly that, which we applaud! His father’s piercing, steely stare and sculpted features were passed down to him.
We look forward to seeing more of him in the future! Milo appears to have the same machismo and intensity as his father. Milo Gibson is well known for his roles in Breaking & Exiting, All the Devil’s Men, Hacksaw ridge, gangster Land.
9. Anna Nicole Smith – Dannielynn Birkhead

What a name! This attractive young man recently celebrated his birthday, and his expression indicates that he inherited more than just his father’s wonderful looks! We’re confident he’ll do his parents proud! He appears to be a kind kid, but we can’t help but notice that he has the same naughtiness in his face as his father.

Remember that on November 30, 2013, Walker died as a result of injuries sustained in a single-vehicle incident.

Mamie, Grace, and Louisa, Meryl Streep’s three gorgeous kids, are not one, not two, but three. Mamie, the eldest, resembles her mother not just in appearance but also in work. Many people might be intimidated by having a daughter who is the daughter of such a powerful Hollywood figure, but Mamie has handled it in stride, achieving great things on stage and screen.
Ricki and the Flash, in which she co-starred with her mother Meryl, is one of her favorite films. If you haven’t seen it yet, we strongly advise you to do so!

Ben and his father have worked together in films like Zoolander and Heartbreak Kid throughout the years.
