Check out these celebrity actors with lookalike parents. Some on this list you may have known were related but others will give you an “Oh yeah… they’re twins!” reaction. This list is filled with all kinds of factoids about the stars… check it!
Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn
It would have been great to see the mother-daughter duo in Amy Schumer’s movie Snatched though the dynamics would have been different without the comedic great. Sadly, we wont see them in a movie together as Goldie explains in an interview with LA Times, “[It’s] too much baggage. You have to look at the reality because we’re very well known apart. There’s a lot of expectation coming into it.”
Tracee Ellis Ross and Diana Ross
Diana and Tracee honestly look more like sisters. Diana is an icon and she surely birthed entertainment royalty. No, no… MJ is not her Pop so stop the rumors. That credit goes to music exec Robert Ellis Silberstein. In a recent cover article in Elle Canada Tracee shares how her megastar Supremes lead mum saved her from “that monster of fame.” Check out Tracee’s return as the host of the AMAs!
Sanaa Lathan and Eleanor McCoy
Although Sanaa’s mom isn’t a traditional actress in Hollywood you cannot deny placing these two on the list. When I saw a pic the star of Netflix’s Nappily Ever After share of her mom- I took it for a throwback filter on the flick to explain the aged look of the photo itself. But a swift read of the caption reveals this mother-daughter gene bond is uncanny!
Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez, Charlie Sheen
Although bad boy Charles favors Pop… you cannot help but see the splitting image resemblance between Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen. Before I continue… you may ask why the difference in last names. Sheen is a stage last name, both Charlie and Martin chose to use it while Emilio chose to keep the original family last name when he was on his stardom track. You’ll find the duo featured in several movies together including The War At Home (1996), Bobby (2006), and The Way (2010).
Kiefer Sutherland and Donald Sutherland
Kiefer is one of my favorite actors, his intense character in faved 24 TV show locked biased for him in my mind forever (even despite his behavioral hiccups.) On the show, in season 6 there was a plot to have Jack Bauer’s father play an important twist role and they used actor James Cromwell versus Donald Sutherland. I personally thought this was odd- why not have a fine actor oppose his son on the tube than another actor. But there was good reason why. Son did indeed asked this father to portray the role but Dad turned it down because he did not want to play a father who plotted to kill both of his sons (and succeeding in murdering one) on the show. You can however find the duo paired in the movies A Time To Kill and Forsaken.
Robin Thicke and Alan Thicke
The R&B singer has been absent from the airways as of recent. But with reason. He’s untethered from actress ex-wife, suffered a major loss with his twin father but is headed on a new journey with a newborn baby girl. Robin was close to his late pop who passed December 2016. Their resemblance was uncanny. RIP Alan!
Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight
This daughter and father lookalike catches some people be surprise at first glance. Looking at Pop you can see where she gets her most sought after full lips from. The duo have not been seen together as much for years due to rife between them, but there are reports the two have buried the hatchet and improving their relationships. They have starred together in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider movie. The Voight genes are strong as we are noticing Angelina’s first born daughter Shiloh already looking like mom!
There are a few more we can mention on this list including Colin Hanks and Tom Hanks plus we cannot forget Kim Kardashian West and Kris Jenner!
