After a baby is born, people love to try to figure out which traits came from the mother versus the father. "Oh, he has his father's eyes," or "Look, she has her mom's nose!" But in the case of these celebrity parents, it's almost like they simply cloned themselves when they had children. These famous kids are spitting images of either their mom or their dad — to the point where it's almost like the other parent didn't contribute any genes at all.
This doesn't always happen. Usually kids are a mix of both their parents. But some genes are too dominant to ignore, and that's how you end up with Meryl Streep and her three carbon-copy daughters. Read on to see the actress' kids, as well as 19 other celebrity children who look exactly like their A-list parents.
Ice-T & Chanel Marrow
John & Miles Legend
John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's daughter, Luna, looks like a mix of both her parents, but their son, Miles, looks exactly like his dad. The 4-year-old is John's mini-me, especially when the two of them dress alike in matching swim trunks. We can't wait to see Miles grow up. Maybe he'll have his dad's music skills, too.
Goldie Hawn & Kate Hudson
Not only did Kate Hudson inherit her mother Goldie Hawn's gorgeous looks, but she got her acting talent as well. The two women both carved out space in Hollywood for themselves, each icons of their respective generations. Kate's brother, Oliver Hudson, is also an actor, but he looks almost nothing like his mom or sister.
Demi Moore & Rumer Willis
A few years ago, Rumer Willis posted this picture of her and her mom Demi Moore on Instagram. They look almost identical in their matching jumpsuits, glasses, and hairstyles. "That moment when you realize you actually are becoming your mother," Rumer captioned the pic, adding the hashtag "#imnotmad." You can never be mad about looking like Demi Moore.
Lisa Bonet & Zoë Kravitz
Lisa Bonet and Zoë Kravitz look so identical they could be sisters. But, nope, Zoë is Lisa's daughter from her marriage to Lenny Kravitz. Lisa was also married to Jason Momoa, which made Aquaman Zoë's stepdad. Weirder still is that Zoë's biological dad Lenny is close friends with Jason. Talk about a blended family.
Reese Witherspoon & Ava Phillippe
Reese Witherspoon has two sons and a daughter, and her daughter, Ava Phillippe, looks exactly like her mother. Seriously, if they did a remake of Reese's 1999 film Election today, they could cast Ava and no one would notice that it wasn't just a young Reese. The genes are so strong. Maybe Ava will venture into acting, too.
Tom & Colin Hanks
The Academy Award winner has four children — three sons and a daughter — but it's Colin Hanks who seems to have the most genetically in common with his father. It helps that Colin is also an actor, so the two share that bond, too. In fact, Tom even once played his son's father in the movie The Great Buck Howard. Very believable casting.
