Even though we all know DNA is a thing, it never ceases to surprise and amaze when celebrity kids look like their famous parents. Whether it's their hair, their face shape, or simply the way they smile, it's always fun to spot the family resemblance, and marvel at the wonders of nature.
And with celebrities, these similarities are made all the more interesting because their faces, mannerisms, and famous grins are so burned onto our brains. I mean, how many times have we seen Reese Witherspoon on the big screen? How many music videos have we watched starring Jay-Z? How many times have we spotted Julianne Moore on a red carpet? These folks are a major part of our lives — or, at the very least, constantly splashed across our screens — so when little mini versions of them start running around, it can be a bit mind-blowing.
While many people look like their parents to one degree or another, there's no denying some celebrities and their are kids straight up doppelgängers. Whether they're twinning with one parent, or a spot-on mix of their mom and dad, it's interesting to see kids who could pass as doubles. Here are 25 celebrities whose kids look exactly like them.
