Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty for Netflix; Steve Granitz/FilmMagic Forthese fathers and sons, the applereallydoesn't fall far from the tree. Manychildren of famous dadsfollow in their footsteps, but these father/son duos are so similar, they could be mistaken for one another. Some even embrace the physical similarity: LikeO'Shea Jacksonportraying a younger version of his father,Ice Cube, inStraight Outta Compton(2015), orDan LevyplayingEugene Levy's son onSchitt's Creek. Whether they lean into it or not, these relatives share some powerful family genes. As we celebrate Father's Day, spot all the similarities between these famous family members.

Having long"lost track" of the look-alike comparisons, the actor — whoonce portrayed Mister Rogers onDrunk HistorybeforeTom Hanksdid inthe 2019 biopic— spoke toDax Shepardina 2018 episode ofArmchair Expertabout 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 inThat Thing You Do!(which Tom wrote and directed in 1996) and later inThe Great Buck Howard(2008). Frazer Harrison/Getty 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 onSchitt's Creek— a show they co-created and co-produced — they'vebeen naturally twinning since the '80s, though Dan insistsEugene 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 saidduring a 2019 appearanceonThe 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 theirSchitt's Creekdays, the duo has continued working together, co-writing the 2021 bookBest Wishes, Warmest Regards: The Story of Schitt's Creekand becoming thefirst-ever father-son duo to co-host the Emmysin 2024. Monica Schipper/Getty; Barry King/WireImage WhenRafferty Lawappeared in Apple TV+'sMasters of the Air, viewers couldn't help but noticehow much he resembled his father,Jude Law— particularly in his breakout role inThe Talented Mr. Ripley(1999). Inhis 2021 interview withGQ 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 inRepo Men(2010), where he played a younger version of his dad's character, Remy. Eric Charbonneau/Getty Jack Quaidhas often been likened to both ofhis famous parents,Dennis QuaidandMeg 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," hetoldUSA Todayin 2019. However, the resemblance between Jack and Dennis is undeniable, yet the young actor — who has starred in projects likeThe Hunger Games(2012),The Boys,Companion(2025) andNovocaine(2025), among other titles —didn't lean on his dad's connectionswhen establishing his career. "I mean he's right on track. He's way past me at that age," DennistoldETin 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!" Sam —Bruce Springsteen's youngest child, who works as afirefighter 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," Brucetold CBS New Yorkof his son in 2020. Rich Polk/Getty 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 theNew York Times, that the teasing is "our love language." The father-son duo get along so well, theycostarred in (and co-produced)the Netflix seriesUnstable,inspired by their relationship. The show ran for two seasons. Michael Kovac/Getty for J/P Haitian Relief Organization Sean PennandRobin Wright's son, Hopper — pictured here withsister Dylan— shares his father's pensive stare and hasopened up about his no-nonsense parenting stylewhile 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 inFlag Day(2021), again with his sister inSigns of Love(2022) and with his mother inDevil's Peak(2023). 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 ina February 2025 appearance onThe 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 sitcomPoppa'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. "My mini me is now major me,"Mark Consueloswroteon Instagramabout his doppelgänger, Michael — who played a younger version of his dad'sRiverdalecharacter, Hiram Lodge. And if that wasn't enough, Michael has evenconfessed 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!' " Related:Celeb Copycats! These Famous Family Members Played the Same Roles 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 biopicStraight 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'Sheatold Drew Barrymorein 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." Scott Eastwoodplayed up his resemblance to his famous father by dressing asClint'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 forAmerican Sniper(2015) was rejected,perVariety. He did, however, get to work with Clint inFlags of Our Fathers(2006),Gran Torino(2008),Invictus(2009) andTrouble with the Curve(2012). Ray Nicholsonis the spitting image of his legendary father's younger self. Fans couldn't get enough of Ray's performance inSmile 2(2024),where his smirking close-ups were near-identical to Jack's iconic grinsinThe 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," hetoldCBS Morningsin 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.' " Katelyn Mulcahy/Getty 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 wasdrafted by the Los Angeles Lakersas the 55th overall pick in the second round, making NBA history as part ofthe first-ever father-son duo to play simultaneously— and on the same team, no less.

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." Francis Specker/CBS via Getty Last name aside, when you saw this father-son duo standing next to each other, there was no mistaking thatRobin ThickewasAlan Thicke's son. AlthoughAlan 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" singertold 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." Cruz Beckham/Instagram David Beckham'ssons each look like the soccer star in their own ways, and two share his athletic side:Brooklynhas recently set his sights on becoming a race car driver (per TMZ Sports) andRomeoispursuing a soccer career. Meanwhile,Cruztakes after his mother,Victoria— focusingon musicand modeling. Gregg DeGuire/WireImage Jason Ritterlooks so much like his late father, belovedThree Is Companyactor, John, even he can be surprised by it. Asked whether his uncanny resemblance catches him off guard at times, Jason toldThe 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." 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 asThe Amityville Horror, Westworld, Traffic,and his Golden Globe and Emmy-winning portrayal of Dr. Steven Kiley inMarcus 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 inThe Gooniesand he would go on to build an equally impressive career with films such as21 Jump Street, Into the Blue, American Gangster,Milkand more. The Brolins also share a particularly dark sense of humor. Both actors have gone on record to share ahilariously grim taleof how their family once ate Josh's pet pig for dinner.
