Violet Affleck Is Spitting Image of Mom Jennifer Garner Yet Preferred Dad ‘To Anyone’ — 11 Stars & Their Lookalike Kids

Celebrities have different ways of navigating parenthood. While some encourage their children to follow in their footsteps, there are many others who would rather their kids live life outside the glaring spotlight.

Regardless of whether fans get to see their favorite celebrities’ kids or only get a glimpse of them occasionally, there are many celebrity children who look exactly like their famous parents.

Even Prince William himself was stunned at the striking resemblance he shared with his daughter Charlotte. “Is that me?” he asked, pointing to a baby picture of him on a cake. “Cause that looks just like Charlotte.”

Let’s take a look at 11 celebrity parent-and-child pairs that show an uncanny resemblance with one another. Some of these pairs can even pass off as twins!

8 Hollywood Greats with Lookalike Adult Children

Clint Eastwood and Scott Eastwood are a father-and-son duo that shares the same facial features. Scott could easily pass on as a younger version of his dad as they have the same eyes.

Scott Eastwood first lived in Hawaii with his mother Jacelyn Reeves until he decided to live with his father. They both raised him to be the best he could be, with Clint once crediting Jaclyn for teaching him all about values.

While his mom taught him how to be a good person, his dad taught him all about hard work. In fact, one notable teaching his superstar dad told him was never to go back to his trailer. Instead, they hung around on set and learned from the crew.

“My father’s definitely old-school,” Scott once shared. “And he raised me with integrity – to be in places on time, show up, and work hard.”

Of all his father’s work, Scott revealed that the movie “Unforgiven” is his favorite. He has decades’ worth of movies to look back at of his dad for inspiration, especially since he also followed in his dad’s footsteps as an actor.

Bette Midler and Sophie von Haselberg are Hollywood royalty in their own right. Midler spent decades as an iconic singer and actress, while von Haselberg followed in her footsteps.

Midler and von Haselberg look so alike that the singer once had to clarify who she was in a picture with her daughter. They aren’t only spitting images of one another, but they’re extremely close as well.

When von Haselberg got married to her husband Harry J.N. Guinness, it was a family affair amidst the pandemic. They initially didn’t plan on getting married, but when the reality of life being so short dawned on them during the lockdown, they decided to go for it.

There were only eleven people present, and it was a fun, intimate event prepared by the whole family. They cooked their meals, Midler did the flowers, and von Haselberg did the menu planning with her father, Martin von Haselberg of “The Kipper Kids” fame.

Barbra Streisand and her son Jason Gould love each other dearly. The international superstar was about to go on a 20-city tour back in 1966 when she discovered she was pregnant.

She shares her son with her ex-husband Elliott Gould, with whom she was married to for eight years before their divorce in 1971. She’d, later on, get married again to actor James Brolin in 1998.

Like his famous mother, Gould works in the entertainment industry as an actor and musician. He and his mom began singing together on stage in 2012, and they’ve been quite the duo, performing in front of crowds of 18,000 people.

Despite all the things he’s achieved, Gould prefers to keep a low profile. He is often only seen on tour with his mom and promoting his work and not much is known about his personal life.

Meryl Streep and Mamie Gummer have a tight-knit relationship despite Streep’s extensive Hollywood career. “At home, she’s not Meryl Streep – she’s mum. She’s great, and I love her a lot,” Gummer once said.

Gummer is Streep’s eldest daughter, born on August 3, 1983, in New York. Like her mom, she is an actress with her first role being in the film “Heartburn” when she was only 20 months old.

In her 20s, Gummer began modeling and starring on Broadway. Her first role was on “Mr. Marmalade,” and on the big screen, she starred with Richard Gere on “The Hoax,” and with her iconic mom on “Evening.”

Gummer grew up away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. She grew up in Connecticut with her older brother and two younger sisters.

Streep wanted to make sure her children had a normal upbringing, and keeping them away from the busyness of Los Angeles and New York was her way of doing that. Whenever the cameras weren’t rolling, she was at home with her children.

Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks could pass off as twins on any given day. Colin is Tom’s son with his first wife, Samantha Lewes, with whom he also shares a daughter named Elizabeth.

Admittedly, Tom said he welcomed Colin and his sister Elizabeth into his life when he was young. So, Colin and Elizabeth saw him as a struggling actor trying to make it work.

Colin grew up in Sacramento and Los Angeles, splitting his time between his mom’s and dad’s homes. He also had to travel a lot, and he’d tag along with his dad during summers while he was shooting.

Like his father, Colin chose to become an actor. He also has a side business called “Hanks Kerchiefs,” humorously playing with their surname in the process.

Before becoming an actor, Colin first worked as a production assistant on the film “Apollo 13” back in 1995. He starred in 2002’s “Orange County,” and “King Kong” in 2005 among others.

John Travolta and Ella Travolta have been close to one another ever since. Even now that Ella is an adult, she is always with her dad on special occasions like his 69th birthday, which they celebrated in Las Vegas along with a few friends.

Ella and John have been keeping each other company following the passing of their beloved Kelly Preston. The devoted mom and wife passed away of breast cancer in 2020.

Like her famous parents, Ella is an actress and singer. However, she’s been more active as a model, attending Fashion Weeks in the most stylish outfits, and posing for brands that fit her vegan lifestyle.

Preston was best known for her roles in “Twins,” “The Last Song,” “Death Sentence,” and “Jerry Maguire.” Meanwhile, Travolta’s best hits include “The Punisher,” “Pulp Fiction,” and “Grease.

Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri sometimes open up about what life has been like as a family. Amurri once described her upbringing amidst the entertainment industry as a “circus,” and how after a project ends, she’d have to deal with the fact that she wouldn’t get to hang out with people she had already gotten close to again, as people tend to go their own ways.

Sarandon believes there’s nothing wrong with her children growing up in a “circus-like” environment, for as long as nothing is out of control. She admits bringing her kids with her around the world for her work, and she believes it’s one of the best things she’s ever given them.

Along with Eva, Sarandon has two more children, Miles, and Jack. Although they don’t see each other as often as they used to, Sarandon credits social media for making it easier to keep track of her children.

Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz are perhaps one of the most famous mother-and-daughter duos. Add Zoe’s dad, Lenny Kravitz, and stepdad Jason Momoa to the picture, and you’ve got a Hollywood superstar family right there.

Zoe has been in the entertainment industry for 15 years as a singer, producer, and actress. She marked her 15th year with the role of Catwoman in “The Batman,” alongside Robert Pattinson.

It’s not just Zoe who’s made a mark in the industry, as her mom is best known for being Denise Huxtable on “A Different World” and “The Crosby Show.” Her dad Lenny is an international superstar, and her stepdad, Jason, is best known for “Game of Thrones” and “Aquaman.”

Despite being from such a famous family, Zoe worked hard to step away from her parents’ shadows. While they are extremely close to one another, she’s made sure to make a name for herself all on her own.

3 Hollywood A-Listers and Their Lookalike Younger Children

Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck look like twins. While Garner and her ex-husband Ben Affleck are known for being fiercely protective of their children, glimpses of their grown-up kids are sometimes seen by fans.

The “13 Going On 30” star might have split from Affleck after 10 years of marriage, but they remain on good terms and co-parent their kids, Violet Anne, Seraphina Rose, and Samuel together.

Garner has been vocal about keeping her kids off social media, claiming she doesn’t see “anything positive” for them in it. She also rallied beside Halle Berry in trying to keep the paparazzi from taking pictures of her children.

Both Garner and Affleck have had quite extensive Hollywood careers, with many directors, producers, and staff crediting Garner for being one of the easiest actresses to work with.

After years of being in the industry, they remain one of the most famous. So, the paparazzi always try to get a glimpse of them no matter where they were, and it affected their children.

When Violet was a young girl, she had to deal with grown men trying to take pictures of her whenever she was in school. She was also removed from a soccer team because of the frenzy her parents would make.

Ultimately, Garner’s work paid off, and the bill intending to protect children from the paparazzi was signed into law in 2013. Her children were so afraid of cameras that they barely had any family pictures together, but that’s changed now that they’re older.

Violet may be the spitting image of her mother, but she is reportedly a daddy’s girl. During one interview, Garner couldn’t help but gush about what a hands-on dad her then-husband was to their daughter. Violet appreciated it, and she preferred him “to anyone.”

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise have only had one another for the past couple of years, as Tom Cruise is reportedly not in contact with them. Suri is already 17 years old and is nearing adulthood.

Tom is famously known for being a follower of Scientology, something that Holmes simply did not agree with when she left him in 2012. They had been following the religion when Holmes abruptly left him and filed for divorce.

Now that Suri is a teenager, Holmes’ top priority is to keep her safe and protected, because she had been visible to the public eye since she was a child. Ultimately, she is grateful to be Suri’s mom, saying:

“I’m very grateful to be a parent, to be her parent. She’s an incredible person.”

When it comes to her work, Holmes once shared she never required her daughter to watch any of them. However, her daughter has seen “Dawson’s Creek,” and it’s something they had a good laugh about during the pandemic.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, has been exposed to the entertainment industry since she was a young child. After years of starring on blockbuster hits, Brad once shared that being a dad is his “true joy,” and the “best thing” he’s ever done.

He also once claimed that being a father changes his perspective on things, and has taken the focus away from himself. Unfortunately, years after, he and his ex-wife Angelina Jolie would file for divorce.

After a gruesome custody battle, Brad was given visitation rights to his children. Despite not always being with his kids, he has nothing but admiration for them, especially his daughter Shiloh.

In 2022, Brad shared his thoughts on Shiloh’s video dancing, which was seen on social media. He had nothing but nice words to say about his daughter, calling her beautiful and joking about how he doesn’t know where she got her talent for dancing.

Ultimately, Brad isn’t one to limit his kids on what they want to do with their lives. He wants them to find their own way and find their own passions rather than impose what they should do.
