18 Celebrity Father-Son Duos Who Look Exactly Alike: See the Photos

Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks

Colin Hanks knows he’s the spitting image of his two-time Oscar-winning father. Having long “lost track” of the look-alike comparisons, the actor — who once portrayed Mister Rogers on Drunk History before Tom Hanks did in the 2019 biopic — spoke to Dax Shepard in a 2018 episode of Armchair Expert about carving out his Hollywood career outside his family ties to a film icon

“When I was starting off, I was sort of lovingly naive, thinking that [being Tom Hanks’ son] wasn’t as big a deal as it is, that I would get the benefit of the doubt; that I was my own person. And that doesn’t happen,” he said.

The father-son pairing have shared the screen twice — first in That Thing You Do! (which Tom wrote and directed in 1996) and later inThe Great Buck Howard (2008).

Eugene Levy and Dan Levy

From the signature eyebrows and oversized black glasses to their witty sense of humor, Eugene and Dan Levy are total dead ringers for each other. But long before they played father and son on Schitt’s Creek — a show they co-created and co-produced — they’ve been naturally twinning since the ’80s, though Dan insists Eugene stole his signature hairstyle.

“He has since had like a full-body makeover on [Schitt’s Creek]. When he came in to do our show, he sat down and the hair and makeup team sort of did this coif … and he really responded to it, and now wears that every day,” he said during a 2019 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “What he didn’t necessarily realize is that it was my haircut at the time, so now we sort of have a very similar haircut … I remember thinking like, ‘Oh you just — that’s my hair. I guess you can have it.’ ”

Since their Schitt’s Creek days, the duo has continued working together, co-writing the 2021 book Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: The Story of Schitt’s Creek and becoming the first-ever father-son duo to co-host the Emmys in 2024.

Jude Law and Rafferty Law

When Rafferty Law appeared in Apple TV+’s Masters of the Air, viewers couldn’t help but notice how much he resembled his father, Jude Law — particularly in his breakout role in The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999).

In his 2021 interview with GQ Hype, Raff opened up about the constant comparisons. “I find it quite funny, because obviously we’re going to look quite similar — he’s my dad,” he said. “It’s nice because we do have similarities and we are so close. So, now that I’m older, he can help me work on scripts, and I can send him my music and he can say, ‘Yeah, that’s great.’ He’s just happy to see me becoming a young man that he’s proud to call his son.”

Fun fact: Rafferty made his on-screen debut in Repo Men (2010), where he played a younger version of his dad’s character, Remy.

Dennis Quaid and Jack Quaid

Jack Quaid has often been likened to both of his famous parents, Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan. “People think I’m a solid half and half, I think. Some people see Mom, some people see Dad. It’s kind of like an optical illusion,” he told USA Today in 2019.

However, the resemblance between Jack and Dennis is undeniable, yet the young actor — who has starred in projects like The Hunger Games (2012), The Boys, Companion (2025) and Novocaine (2025), among other titles — didn’t lean on his dad’s connections when establishing his career.

“I mean he’s right on track. He’s way past me at that age,” Dennis told ET in 2024. “I’m really so proud of him and he’s making great choices. … He’s done it his way and his own way. I offered to help get him an agent at first and he said, ‘No, Dad, I’m doing it on my own.’ ”

Dennis continued, “And then he got all these jobs from all these directors and I say, ‘How bout a little help over here?’ I don’t mind the nepo thing myself, okay? Reverse nepo, I’ll take it!”

Bruce Springsteen and Sam Springsteen

Sam — Bruce Springsteen’s youngest child, who works as a firefighter in New Jersey — looks just like his rocker dad (how many times a week do you think he gets an “I’m on Fire” joke?).

“It was a long road, he was very dedicated for quite a few years and we are just excited for him,” Bruce told CBS New York of his son in 2020.

Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe

Rob Lowe’s biggest internet troll is also his doppelgänger and lastborn son, John Owen. The 29-year-old gets a kick out of making fun of his dad’s fame, particularly his former Brat Pack days and heartthrob status.

It’s all out of love, though, as John Owen previously told the New York Times, that the teasing is “our love language.” 

The father-son duo get along so well, they costarred in (and co-produced) the Netflix series Unstable, inspired by their relationship. The show ran for two seasons.

Sean Penn and Hopper Penn

Sean Penn and Robin Wright’s son, Hopper — pictured here with sister Dylan — shares his father’s pensive stare and has opened up about his no-nonsense parenting style while growing up. “He was strict, and I was always getting into trouble,” Hopper said of Sean to PEOPLE in 2022. “We butted heads for a long time. But it’s very lax now. He’s chilled out in his older age!”

Hopper has also shared the screen with his family multiple times, acting alongside his father and Dylan in Flag Day (2021), again with his sister in Signs of Love (2022) and with his mother in Devil’s Peak (2023).

Damon Wayans & Damon Wayans Jr.

They share a name, nearly share a face and follow the same career path. Damon Wayans Jr. credits his dad’s success for inspiring his own acting dreams.

“I wanted to be an animator growing up for a long time,” he explained in a February 2025 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “I used to draw all the time and then one day I accidentally opened one of my dad’s checks and I was like, ‘I want to do that! That’s a lot better.’ ”

Damon and Damon starred on the CBS sitcom Poppa’s House, which centered around longtime radio host Poppa (Wayans Sr.) as he helped his son (Wayans Jr.) navigate the challenges of raising a family while living right next door.

The show was cancelled after a season.

Mark Consuelos and Michael Consuelos

“My mini me is now major me,” Mark Consuelos wrote on Instagram about his doppelgänger, Michael — who played a younger version of his dad’s Riverdale character, Hiram Lodge. And if that wasn’t enough, Michael has even confessed to swiping clothes from his father’s wardrobe.

“My dad has a cool closet,” he told PEOPLE in 2022. “I often raid my dad’s closet — and he always notices. He’s like, ‘Hey, where’s this?’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, you weren’t home. You were in Vancouver for a while, so I figured…’ He’s like, ‘Don’t figure, ask!’ ”

Ice Cube and O’Shea Jackson Jr.

O’Shea Jackson Jr. looks so much like his rapper father that he played a young version of Ice Cube in the 2015 N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton — but he still had to work hard to get the role.

“He’s the greatest coach you could ever ask for. I was a student at the University of Southern California. I was there for screenwriting and in the middle of my second year, my dad was like, ‘We’re taking this N.W.A. movie serious,’ ” O’Shea told Drew Barrymore in January 2025. “And I’m like, ‘Oh man, that’s good Dad, I’m happy for you. He’s like, ‘No, in a perfect world, I would want you to play me.’ ”

He continued, “I ended up leaving school and I auditioned for two years to get the role. … I had to work for it because I was just a guy off the couch. So, I’ve just been trying to make it work ever since.”

Clint Eastwood and Scott Eastwood

Scott Eastwood played up his resemblance to his famous father by dressing as Clint’s iconic spaghetti Western character, The Man with No Name, for Halloween, in 2016.

Scott has been acting for years, but he still had to work to get cast in his father’s movies; his audition tape for American Sniper (2015) was rejected, per Variety. He did, however, get to work with Clint in Flags of Our Fathers (2006), Gran Torino (2008), Invictus (2009) and Trouble with the Curve (2012).

Jack Nicholson and Ray Nicholson

Ray Nicholson is the spitting image of his legendary father’s younger self. Fans couldn’t get enough of Ray’s performance in Smile 2 (2024), where his smirking close-ups were near-identical to Jack’s iconic grins in The Shining (1980).

“My dad and I don’t talk that much about acting. I think I’d probably hang on to his word too much. You know, I think it’s important for me to find my way,” he told CBS Mornings in October 2024. “And with the smile, funny enough, my mom says, ‘You know Ray, you were such a beautiful boy, and then you started to look like your father.’ “

LeBron James and LeBron “Bronny” Jr.

The NBA star’s firstborn son, who goes by Bronny, is not only growing into his father’s likeness but also following in his legendary footsteps on the court.

In June 2024, Bronny was drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers as the 55th overall pick in the second round, making NBA history as part of the first-ever father-son duo to play simultaneously — and on the same team, no less.

Jon Bon Jovi and Jack Bongiovi

He may not have pursued his father’s musical career, but Jake Bongiovi is an undeniable double for his rockstar dad, Jon Bon Jovi.

And while millions of people would love to get a word of advice from the “Livin’ on a Prayer,” singer, when asked if he had given Jake and his now-wife Millie Bobby Brown any advice about being a couple in the public, the long-married laughed it off saying, “You don’t think they’re gonna listen, do you?”

He added, “The magic for me has just been growing together with [wife] Dorothea, and every day is a challenge and change, but if you’re growing together, then hopefully everything will work out.”

Alan and Robin Thicke

Last name aside, when you saw this father-son duo standing next to each other, there was no mistaking that Robin Thicke was Alan Thicke’s son.

Although Alan died in 2016, Robin revealed that he carries his father’s spirit through his own parenting.

“Every time I speak to my son Julian, I feel him because I’m saying the same things he told me,” the “Lost Without You” singer told PEOPLE. “When I was young, I wanted to be a rebel because my dad was Mr. Good Guy. Now I just want to be as much like him as possible. In the end, all the advice he gave me was correct.”

Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz & David Beckham

David Beckham’s sons each look like the soccer star in their own ways, and two share his athletic side: Brooklyn has recently set his sights on becoming a race car driver (per TMZ Sports) and Romeo is pursuing a soccer career. Meanwhile, Cruz takes after his mother, Victoria — focusing on music and modeling.

Jason and John Ritter

Jason Ritter looks so much like his late father, beloved Three Is Company actor, John, even he can be surprised by it. Asked whether his uncanny resemblance catches him off guard at times, Jason told The Talk, “Every once in a while, in the mirror, or if I see myself on [TV], I’ll go, ‘Oh, wow.’ I’ll have a little moment of seeing him. It’s always nice to see him.”

Josh and James Brolin

The thick brows and endearingly serious vibes aren’t the only things these two have in common; the leading man genes are also very strong.

With films such as The Amityville Horror, Westworld, Traffic, and his Golden Globe and Emmy-winning portrayal of Dr. Steven Kiley in Marcus Welby, M.D., under his belt, James Brolin’s lookalike son, Josh Brolin, had some huge steps to fill when he ventured into acting. And he did just that.

Josh made his film debut in The Goonies and he would go on to build an equally impressive career with films such as 21 Jump Street, Into the Blue, American Gangster, Milk and more.

The Brolins also share a particularly dark sense of humor. Both actors have gone on record to share a hilariously grim tale of how their family once ate Josh’s pet pig for dinner.
