See all the celebrities with their lookalike children
The gene pool is strong between these celebrities and their mini-me children.
By Hayley Peppin
THE APPLE CERTAINLY doesn’t fall from the tree between some of Hollywood’s biggest stars and their mini-me’s.
Aside from talent and star treatment, kids such as Ava Phillipe, Kaia Gerber and Maya Hawke all share a most striking resemblance to their famous parents. When they’re photographed next to their celeb mum or dad, we often do a double-take — or quietly consider why they weren’t chosen to play a younger version of them in a film or series. Seriously, the perfect option is there, Tinseltown?
Nonetheless, here’s all the glitzy offspring who could very well be their parent’s doppelgängers.
