Hollywood actors have a strong pool of genes. We have seen many actors and actresses who have crossed the threshold of beauty and are putting everyone else in an awkward position where they start questioning themselves and how they look. From David Beckham and his mini-me Brooklyn to Prince William and his near-clone Prince George, here’s what some of your favorite celebrity fathers and their doppelgänger offspring looked like at the same age.

Will Smith and Jaden Smith at 21

When Will Smith was turning 21, the rapper was going by Fresh Prince, but he hadn’t yet landed his breakout role on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. By the same age, Jaden was also pursuing a career in music and had already had a strong influence in the fashion world.

Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks at 41

By the age of 41, Tom had already won two Academy Awards for best actor, in consecutive years. His son, Colin, has followed his father into show business and by the same age, had a solid number of credits under his belt—from King Kong to House Bunny.

Prince Charles and Prince William at 37

Prince Charles was nearing the end of his marriage to Princess Diana and had recently welcomed his second son, Prince Harry, in his late 30s. As for Prince William, he’d been married for eight years and had three kids.

Ice Cube and O’Shea Jackson Jr. at 23

The son of the N.W.A. rapper-turned-actor, Ice Cube, looks so much like his famous father that he played him in the 2015 biopic about his 1980 group, Straight Outta Compton. Ice Cube was already a well-known rapper at the same age.

Kirk Douglas and Michael Douglas at 30

Both Kirk and Michael Douglas had distinguished acting careers and were considered part of A-list Hollywood. Back when Kirk was 30, he had just landed his first role in the film The Strange Love of Martha Ivers, while Michael, at the same age, was busy starring in the show The Streets of San Francisco.

Michael Douglas and Cameron Douglas at 43

Just like Michael is the spitting image of his father, his son Cameron very much resembles him. At 43, Michael starred in 1987 hit Fatal Attraction, while Cameron kicked off an acting career of his own in The Runner.

Clint Eastwood and Scott Eastwood at 28

By the time he turned 28, Scott was already following in his father’s footsteps and pursuing a career in acting, landing roles in 2015’s The Longest Ride and 2016’s Suicide Squad.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Patrick Schwarzenegger at 23

Former Mr. Universe, Arnold, and his son with Maria Shriver, Patrick, prove that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. By the age of 23, Patrick had worked as both a model and an actor—though we don’t know if he’ll be running for governor any time soon.

LeBron James and Bronny James in Their Late Teens

When your dad is one of the best NBA players of all time, it’s only natural that you follow suit. Bronny is well on his way to playing professionally, with LeBron often showing up to his son’s games to coach and cheer him on.

Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller at 44

It’s no wonder Ben Stiller is one of comedy’s biggest names—comedic genius runs in his blood, as his father was Jerry Stiller, who enjoyed a successful career spanning almost 70 years. Both actors were well-known in Hollywood by their mid-40s.

John Lennon and Sean Lennon at 40

Although his father was assassinated in 1980 at the age of 40, Sean Lennon has upheld his father’s name with honor by working as a musician, singer-songwriter, and guitarist.

Donald Sutherland and Kiefer Sutherland at 52

Donald Sutherland, who shot to fame in shows like M.A.S.H. and Dirty Dozen, hit his stride in the film industry when he won acclaim for his roles in 1900 and Ordinary People. His son, Kiefer, rose to fame for the ’80s film, The Lost Boys, and was later on the hit TV show 24.

Marlon Brando and (Grandson) Tuki Brando in Their Mid-20s

There’s no mistaking that jawline. The grandson of Marlon Brando, Tuki Brando, carries on the iconic actor’s legacy of devilish good looks working as a model for brands like Versace.

Alan Thicke and Robin Thicke at 42

Alan Thicke was America’s favorite sitcom dad on Growing Pains throughout his late 30s and early 40s. But the late actor’s son, Robin Thicke, has paved his way in the entertainment industry as a singer and has had several big hits by the same age, including “Blurred Lines.”

Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe at 24

At 23 years old, Brandon Thomas Lee, the son of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, opted for a different career than his father’s in Mötley Crüe. Instead of music, he pursued acting and was one of the newcomers on The Hills: New Beginnings.

Prince William and Prince George at age 5

Is style a prerequisite for being the future King of England? For Prince William and his son, George, who both pulled off the preppy sweater game even at the age of 5, it certainly seems like it.

Prince Harry and Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor at 6 Months

Prince Harry’s son attended his first official royal engagement while in South Africa for his parent’s royal tour, and people can’t get over how similar the two royals look at just 6 months old.

Ryan Phillippe and Deacon Phillippe as teenagers

Ryan Phillippe got his start in the industry on One Life to Live when he was still a teen. He later married his Cruel Intentions costar, Reese Witherspoon, but it’s unclear yet if their son, Deacon, will follow in their acting footsteps or not.

Jude Law and Rafferty Law at 22

At 22, Jude Law hadn’t snagged any of his more notable roles, but he had been tagged as an up-and-coming actor to watch. His son, Rafferty, has also made a play for the spotlight at the same age and is currently a model and musician.

Pierce Brosnan and Dylan Brosnan in Their 20s

Dylan Brosnan seems to have caught the acting bug just like his famous father, Pierce Brosnan. The former model made his movie debut in Iconic. Around the same age, his father was also just getting his start.

Denzel Washington and John David Washington at 35

Sean Combs and Christian Combs in Their Early 20s

Diddy began his journey to fame in his 20s, and his son has done the same. Christian Combs, or “King Combs,” as he often goes by, is a popular rapper with over 2 million Instagram followers.

Jeremy Irons and Max Irons at 33

Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. at 36

You probably remember James Caan from The Godfather, which was one of the actor’s most notable roles during his 40-year career. His son, Scott, inherited his movie-star looks, but strays from his father in a small way: He’s taken his career to the small screen, starring in shows like Hawaii 5-0 and Entourage.

Sean Penn and Hopper Penn at 26

Sean Penn’s son, Hopper Penn, had a solid start to his acting career in his 20s but ran into some legal trouble when he was arrested for drug possession in 2018. Sean, on the other hand, was just getting started in his early 20s.

Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell at 33

It’s obvious that Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell’s family is insanely attractive, and the only biological son of the Overboard actor, Wyatt Russell, is a chip off the old block—other than the fact that Wyatt delayed his acting career when he was playing ice hockey.

Lloyd Bridges and Jeff Bridges at 39

Mel Gibson and Milo Gibson at 28

Singer Bill Hudson divorced Oliver’s mom, Goldie Hawn, in 1980 and, unfortunately, didn’t have much of a relationship with his son afterward. Oliver has gone on to pursue a career in acting, much like his famous mother, and started a podcast, Sibling Revelry, with his sister Kate Hudson.
