From the moment we’re born, we are compared to our parents. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins crowd around the baby crib to offer comments like “she has her father’s nose” or “she looks like her mom when she smiles.” However, rather than appearing like a blended version of both parents, some people really do follow firmly in the genetic footsteps of one of their parents. The same is true for celebrities and their children, which means that many children resemble one of their famous parents.
For example, Lily-Rose Melody Depp is a perfect replica of her mother, Vanessa Paradis, while Tish Cyrus‘s daughter, Miley Cyrus, inherited her lovely blonde hair and blue eyes. Especially, Reese Witherspoon and her lookalike daughter Ava Elizabeth Phillippe are often mistaken because they look like twins!
