Carmine Coppola is the composer who won the Oscar for the music in the movie “The Godfather Part II.” The Coppola family is a lot bigger than most people would have guessed, and not only that, but it is also full of talent.
Due to a change of name, many people do not know that the famous actor Nicholas Cage was born Nicholas Coppola. Jason Schwartzman is also a part of this family and shares the same bold eyebrows, nose, and chin as his iconic grandfather.
Quinn Tivey: Grandson of Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor was one of Hollywood's biggest stars, and a few of her trademark features were her dazzling blue eyes and double row of eyelashes.

Taylor passed on her beauty to her grandson Quinn Tivey. If you put the two side by side, they have a nearly identical smile. Tivey is Liza Todd’s son and works as a trustee for the Elizabeth Taylor Foundation. We are sure that his cousins are envious of him!
Apple Martin: Granddaughter of Blythe Danner
Blythe Danner produced several clones, which, for the sake of her inheritors, is a win-win situation. Lucky for them, the former star of "The Great Santini" and "Meet the Parents" has strong genes in her. Apple Martin is only 14 years old, yet it’s apparent that she’s already rocking her grandmother’s stunning looks.
But Apple’s good looks don’t only come from her grandmother. As the daughter of actress Gwyneth Paltrow and the lead singer of Coldplay, Chris Martin, it’s evident that her good looks were also inherited from her parents. Apple looks like a carbon copy of her mother. But still, there are some notable similarities between her and her grandmother.

Ethan Peck: Grandson of Gregory Peck
If you put a picture of Ethan Peck next to his grandfather, the late Gregory Peck, you might not be able to tell who is who, had it not been for the quality of the photo and that one is in color and the other in black and white. Gregory was one of the most famous stars of the 20th century. He was nominated for an Academy Award several times and won one for his performance as Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Theodore Howard Gabel: Grandson of Ron Howard
There are those people who look like their parents or grandparents when they grow up. And then there are those people who only look like their older family members when they’re young. The latter is definitely the case for Theodore Howard Gabel and his grandfather, Ron Howard.
Howard’s first job in show business was on "The Andy Griffith Show." Theodore looks so much like his grandfather when he was this age. Howard later turned to directing and has worked on films like "Apollo 13", "A Beautiful Mind", and "The Da Vinci Code". In 1975, he married a writer, and they had four children together.

She is known for acting in independent films and shooting campaigns for major companies like Gianfranco Ferre and Salvatore Ferragamo.

It was actually Elizabeth who helped Naomi get a green card.
Naomi shared that her grandmother reassured her, ‘I’ll get you a lawyer, we’ll get you a green card, and everything will be okay.’ I came to stay with her, and I never left [California].” Naomi carries on her late grandmother’s advocacy work and does a lot of work with the Elizabeth Taylor Foundation. She also manages a contemporary art gallery located in Los Angeles.

His maternal grandmother, Anne Gwynne, was one of the most famous pin-up girls during WWII.

Kirk Douglas passed away when he was 104 years old. He was one of the last surviving actors of Hollywood’s Golden Age until his passing.

She had her breakout role in 'ET' in 1982 and has since made a name for herself as one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood.
Drew’s grandfather, John Barrymore, is considered to be the most acclaimed actor in the family. Although of different genders, John and Drew Barrymore’s looks are strikingly similar.

Anjelica has acted in "The Grifters and Enemies: A Love Story", "The Addams Family", and many more.

He started off as a singer and later switched to acting in Western films during the 30s. He had two children, Tom and John.

Fonda's youthful appearance really brings out the similarities between her and her granddaughter, Viva Vadim. Viva, like her grandmother, is stunning. She was born in 2002 to Vanessa Vadim, Jane’s daughter, and her husband, Paul Waggoner. Maybe Viva will follow in her grandmother’s footsteps and become an actress as well!
Steve R. McQueen: Grandson of Steve McQueen

Sadly, McQueen died young, at the age of 50, in Mexico.
His death was said to have been caused by mesothelioma after he was exposed to asbestos on movie sets. Fortunately for his legacy, he has two grandchildren. You could say that his grandson, Steve R. McQueen, has some pretty big shoes to fill if he ever plans on becoming an actor, especially with a name like that.
Benjamin Keough: Grandson of Elvis Presley
The king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley, had one daughter, Lisa Presley. Lisa’s son, Benjamin Keough, looked exactly like Elvis. Unsurprisingly, Benjamin was also in the music business. When your grandfather was one of the most famous musicians to ever live, it wasn’t hard to enter the business.
You can be sure that he inherited not only some of his grandfather’s wealth but also his talent. Keogh’s mother, Lisa, used to get really emotional when she looked at her son because of how much he looked like her father. Sadly, Benjamin died in 2020 at the age of 27.

She even starred in the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy from 2015 to 2019.

Princes William & Harry: Grandsons of Queen Elizabeth II

Camille Gottlieb, Kelly's granddaughter, is not really recognized either. This is mostly because of Camille’s place in Monaco’s royal family. Camille does not have a claim to the throne of Monaco because her father, who was a palace guard, was not married to her mother, Princess Stephanie of Monaco.

Tippi Hedren was an amazing actress with a lot of talent and good looks. She did quite well in passing down that talent and the good looks to her granddaughter because they look just alike!
Zion David Marley: Grandson of Bob Marley
If you are into music, you must know Bob Marley. Everyone knows who he is. He is responsible for making way for the reggae music we all know and love today. Bob’s career began in his home country, Jamaica. He released some of his first few songs there before becoming the icon he is now.
His musical talent was passed down to his children and Zion David Marley, his grandchild. He also pursued his music career.
Ryder Robinson: Grandson of Goldie Hawn
If you did not know Ryder Robinson, he is the son of famous actress Kate Hudson and the grandson of the iconic and classic Hollywood star Goldie Hawn. Hawn was seen in some of the most unforgettable Hollywood classics, such as "Overboard" and also "Private Benjamin".
While all that is great, young Ryder Robinson still has not decided whether or not he wants a future under the spotlight. However, one thing is for sure: he definitely has the looks inherited from his grandmother to help his career in the entertainment business.
Eden Brolin: Granddaughter of James Brolin
When you see James Brolin, you will most likely find him familiar. That is because he was a part of some of the most classic and iconic Hollywood films. Brolin was so talented that he won an Emmy and also a Golden Globe for his acting in "The Amityville Horror" in 1979 and "Westworld" in 1973.
Eden Brolin, his granddaughter, also seems to be making herself quite the name. She is a great actress and singer and has been in different TV shows such as "Yellowstone" and "Beyond."
Alyson Le Borges: Granddaughter of Alain Delon
You do not always have to be an actor from Hollywood to make a big difference; that is what Alain Delon did. He is a French actor who hit it big in France and abroad with his good looks and talent. He has been in the movies "The Swimming Pool" and "Purple Noon."
Alyson Le Borges was in a TV movie in 2001, "L’ile Bleue," as her debut movie. She has also been in the "Two Missing Hours" short from 2021.
Desiree Anzalone: Granddaughter of Lucille Ball
Lucille Ball was an amazing television star who passed away back in 1989. She starred along with Desi Arnaz, her both onscreen and offscreen husband. Desiree Anzalone, who sadly passed away back in September 2020, was the granddaughter of Lucille Ball.
Even though she was part of a good family and had striking similarities with her grandmother, Desiree did not have the best upbringing. Desiree might not share the same iconic red hair as her grandmother, but her dark hair definitely looked just as great on her.
Oona Chaplin: Granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin
A lot of people might not remember Oona Chaplin directly from her name but from her role as Talisa Stark in the hit series Game Of Thrones" from HBO. Oona shares a lot of similarities to her grandfather, Charlie Chaplin. That is right, she is the granddaughter of the legendary actor Charlie Chaplin.
Oona Chaplin is also just as great of an actress, and that talent also likely came from her grandfather. Aside from being in "Game Of Thrones", Oona also starred in other popular shows like "Quantum Of Solace" and "The Longest Ride".
Tatia Starkey: Granddaughter of Ringo Starr
Many people know Ringo Starr as a member of "The Beatles," but not many know him by his actual name, Richard Starkey. Richard has seven grandchildren, and one of them is Tatia Starkey. Tatia Starkey often also goes by Veronica Avant.
People have also said that Tatia was born to be a rocker and crushes it every time she is on stage. Unlike her dad and her grandfather, who are drummers, Tatia is a guitarist and a bassist. Not only does she look similar to her grandfather, but she also has his talent for music.
Amba Isis Jackson: Granddaughter of Mick Jagger
Amba Isis Jackson is the granddaughter of the famous rockstar Mick Jagger. While Amba decided not to follow her grandfather into the music business, she still got the features passed down to her from her grandfather.
Amba inherited the color and the cheekbones from the megastar. She is also now a parent, making the legendary rockstar Mick Jagger a great-grandfather. She named her child River, and we think River might just grow up to get some features from their great-grandfather as well.
Lula Rose: Granddaughter of Steven Tyler
Here's an entry to our list, straight from "Aerosmith." Steven Tyler. Apart from being a rock star, Steven is also a loyal family man who adores his daughters and grandchildren. One of his granddaughters is Lula Rose, who will probably follow in his footsteps.
Steven Tyler is known as Papa Stevie to his grandchildren, and Lula is surely going to grow up to see the resemblance that she shares with her Papa. Apart from the lush mane of hair, Lula has the same mouth as her grandfather.
Amarah Skye: Granddaughter of Whoopi Goldberg
Whoopi Goldberg is an actress that everyone loves for her role as the singing nun in "Singing Act." However, Amarah Skye only knows the actress as her grandmother. Amarah Skye is the daughter of the only child of Whoopi Goldberg, Alexandrea Martin.
Skye has gained a lot of similarities with her grandmother; she has gotten her grandmother’s smile, eyes, and, of course, cherubic cheeks as well. Not only that, but Skye coincidentally also shares her birthday with her famous grandmother.
Mason Dash Disick: Grandson of Kris Jenner
Now, this is a weird one because we all know about how the Kardashians like to separate themselves and their looks. It looks as though the famous mother, Kris Jenner, shares similarities with Mason Dash Disick, the son of her eldest daughter, Kourtney Kardashian.
Mason not only inherited his grandmother's face shape, dark eyes, and dark hair, but he also got her bold attitude and snazzy style. Mason calls his grandmother “Lovey,” and he is sure his brash actions would make Lovey proud.
Jude Stewart: Granddaughter of Martha Stewart
We now have Jude Stewart, who is the granddaughter of Martha Stewart, and by looking at the striking similarities that both of them share, we have to say that they look exactly like spitting images of each other.
Jude, the daughter of Alexis Stewart, Martha's oldest child, also has the same hairstyle as her grandmother. As it turns out, it is a hairstyle that Martha has been going back to since she was a child.
Clark Gable III: Grandson of Clark Gable
Not a lot of people might be able to recognize Clark Gable, but he used to be an iconic Academy Award-winning actor. He has been in some classic Hollywood movies, such as "Gone With the Wind" from 1939 and "Mutiny on the Bounty" from 1935.
Thanks to the handsome and stoic look that Clark Gable III got from his grandfather, he also made it into show business and became an actor himself. In an interview, even Clark Gable III agreed to the similarities that everyone else saw.
Jason Schwartzman: Grandson of Carmine Coppola
Carmine Coppola is the composer who won the Oscar for the music in the movie "The Godfather Part II." The Coppola family is a lot bigger than most people would have guessed, and not only that, but it is also full of talent.
Due to a change of name, many people do not know that the famous actor Nicholas Cage was born Nicholas Coppola. Jason Schwartzman is also a part of this family and shares the same bold eyebrows, nose, and chin as his iconic grandfather.
Ali Astin: Granddaughter of Patty Duke
Patty Duke is an iconic star who has had her family follow her into show business. Sean Astin, the son of Patty, got in on the business really early with movies such as "Encino Man" and "The Goonies."
Sean is the father of Patty’s granddaughter, Ali Astin. Ali’s career in the movie industry is likely helped a lot by the looks she inherited from her grandmother, especially her hair color and nose. When Ali shared a photo of her beside the Duke, it was hard for anyone to argue with the resemblance.
Ever Carradine: Granddaughter of John Carradine
John Carradine was considered one of the best character actors of all time back in his day. Some of his most notable work includes 1944's "House of Frankenstein," 1945's "House of Dracula," and 1966's "Billy the Kid Versus Dracula," in which he portrayed Count Dracula. In the second part of his career, he starred in mostly low-budget B-movies but has a hefty 351 television and film credits to his name. This makes him one of the most prolific actors of all time.
Having had a total of four wives throughout his lifetime, it's no wonder he had at least some grandkids who would follow in his acting footsteps. His granddaughter Ever Carradine is one of his offspring who took after his career and has created quite a name for herself with productions like "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Runways." It's not difficult to see the resemblance between these two Carradines.
Jason Patric: Grandson of Jackie Gleason
Jackie Gleason used his surroundings from his childhood to create the characters that he portrayed on screen. He grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and was known for his bold and verbal comedy, which was exemplified by his character Ralph Kramden in the series "The Honeymooners." He also created "The Jackie Gleason Show," which ran from the mid-50s to the 70s and maintained high ratings throughout the time that it aired.
His grandson Jason Patric from his daughter also made a mark in the show biz industry and is most famously known for his roles in "Sleepers" from 1996 and "The Lost Boys" from 1987. Besides Patric inheriting his grandpappy’s acting skills, he definitely got gifted some of his facial features.
Abby Elliott: Granddaughter of Bob Elliott
Bob Elliott was a famous actor and comedian back in his day. He started out as a DJ, but when he met Ray Goulding in the mid-40s, everything about his career changed almost instantly. The two fellas got instant rapport thanks to their improvisation talents. Their comedy duo "Bob and Ray" ran for five decades, from 1946 to 1988, appearing on CBS, NBS, WHDH, and many more New York Stations.
Abby Elliot, the granddaughter of Bob and daughter of Chris (who also happens to be an actor), also made a name for herself in the world of acting. She played a few roles in SNL from 2008 to 2012, and most recently, she acted in the award-winning series "The Bear." It's safe to say that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree since it seems like Abby got her grandfather's looks as well as his talent for acting.
Hutch Dano: Grandson of Royal Dano
Royal Dano's acting career spanned over 46 years. His roles as villains and cowboys in western and mystery films were perhaps what he was most well known for, as well as Abraham Lincoln in "Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln " from 1964's Walt Disney. Another notable character that Royal played was his role as Sherlock Holmes.
His grandson, Hutch Dano, definitely got some of his grandfather's acting talents and is best known for his roles in "Ramona and Beezus," in which he starred alongside Selena Gomez. Besides his grandad's acting skills, he also got some of his looks, which are clear to see in the eyes and eyebrows. When Hutch isn't pursuing acting roles, he likes to create abstract paintings and sculpt plastic art.
Rooney Mara: Granddaughter of Wellington Mara
Wellington Mara was a co-owner of the NFL New York Giants. It was his father, Tim Mara, who founded the club in the mid-1920s. It was under Wellinton's direction that the Giants won a total of six NFL titles, including two Super Bowl wins. He was once the youngest owner of a professional sports team, and thanks to the success of the Giants, he was known as the patriarch of the NFL.
His granddaughter Rooney Mara didn't exactly take after his career in the world of sports, but she has made quite a mark for herself in the world of acting. Her most notable roles include those in "The Social Network" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo," for which she earned herself an Oscar nomination. It's pretty clear to see that Rooney got some of her grandpa's facial features, such as his nose.
Alexa Davalos: Granddaughter of Richard Davalos
Richard Davalos started his acting career at the early age of six. By age 25, he landed himself a role in "East of Eden," in which he portrayed James Dean's brother. A few of his descendants also took the acting route, such as his daughter Elyssa Davalos and his granddaughter Alexa Davalos. Alexa is best known for her role in "The Chronicles of Riddick," in which she starred alongside Vin Diesel and Judi Dench.
One could probably tell that Alexa and Richard are related if one saw them from miles away. Besides their matching hair color, they have other striking resemblances, including the eyes, nose, and mouth. Alexa probably got a lot of "you look like a mirror image of your granddad" comments when he was still alive, and it's not difficult to see why.
Lena Redford: Granddaughter of Robert Redford
Besides Robert Redford's hunky status back in the day, he also had an extremely successful five-decade-long acting career. One of his early appearances on screen includes his role as Death in the production "The Twilight Zone." Not long after this stint, he made it big on Broadway and ultimately became one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood of all time.
His granddaughter Lena Radford has not had such an illustrious career in the world of acting like her father and grandfather, but she did earn both of their looks. It's pretty clear to see the features that they all have in common, including the Redford hair color, chin, and nose.
Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann: Granddaughter of Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman was a stunning actress of Swedish descent. She is best known for her role as Ilsa Lund in "Casablanca," and due to her contributions to the industry, she was ranked the fourth greatest star of American cinema by the American Film Institute. This accolade probably came from her three Oscar wins, two Emmy awards, and a Tony Award. Let's not forget her Hollywood Walk of Fame star that she was awarded in 1960.
It's certainly not easy to follow in footsteps such as those, but luckily, her granddaughter Elettra Rossellini Wiedemann opted for a career in writing and modeling. She has written blog posts for Refinery29 and New York Magazine, and she may not have taken after her grandmother's career, but she certainly got gifted some of her fine features. Sadly, Elettra never got to meet her iconic grandmother, who passed away a year before her birth.
Grace Van Dien: Granddaughter of Chris Mitchum
Chris Mitchum didn't get to make it as big as his father in the world of acting, but he was nonetheless bitten by the cinema bug, thanks to his father's illustrious career in acting. He is best known for his role in 1970's "Rio Lobo" and 1972's "Summertime Killer." Clearly, acting runs in the bloodline, as is granddaughter Grace Van Dien, from his daughter's side, also followed in her great-grandfather and grandfather's footsteps.
She not only got her grandfather's acting talents, but it's pretty clear to see the striking resemblances between these family members. Van Dien is best known for her role as Brooke Osmond in "Greenhouse Academy," and in 2022, she even made an appearance in three episodes of the critically acclaimed series "Stranger Things."
Samantha Brooks: Granddaughter of Mel Brooks
Mel Brooks was doing the most back in his glory days. Thanks to his numerous awards, he is one of only 18 actors in the whole world to have an EGOT to their name. This means an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.
These are quite the footsteps to follow, but his granddaughter Samantha Brooks has already entered the acting scene before even reaching 20 years old. Who knows, perhaps she will aspire to live up to her grandfather's name. For now, though, she can thank him for gifting her with a famous family name and a lovely smile.
Gia Coppola: Granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola
Francis Ford Coppola is an Italian-born director and producer who made a big name for himself in America. He rose to prominence during the 'New Hollywood' movement of the 60s and 70s, and to date, he has received a whopping five Oscar Awards and six Golden Globe Awards for his writing and directing skills.
This is a great example of big shoes to fill for descendants. Like Francis, his granddaughter Gia Coppola is also pursuing a career in directing and screenwriting, but so far, she still has a long way to go. She not only earned his drive for creating movies but also got gifted his facial features and dark hair, as you can see pictured here, from when Francis was in his younger days.
Jennifer Wayne: Granddaughter of John Wayne
John Wayne made quite an impression in the Hollywood scene back in his day. Throughout his 50-year career, he starred in over 180 films that ranged from genres of war, detective, and even a few romantic comedies. However, it was Western films that cemented the star's status in the showbiz industry. In 1969, Wayne received an Oscar for his role as Rooster Cogburn in the Western flick "True Grit."
The granddaughter of John Wayne, Jennifer Wayne, may not have followed the grandpappy’s exact footsteps in the world of acting, but she did opt for a career in the music industry. Nowadays, she is a country singer in the country group "Runaway June." Perhaps all those Western films that her grandfather played in inspired something for the genre of music she chose to pursue. She may not have gotten his acting streaks, but she did get his looks to kill.
Talita von Furstenberg: Granddaughter of Diane von Fürstenberg
Diane von Fürstenberg is a fashion designer of Belgian descent who achieved fame in the fashion industry when she created the wrap dress. Thanks to her contributions to the industry, she was named a Time 100 icon by Time Magazine, and in 2014, she was listed as one of the top 70 most powerful women.
Her granddaughter Talita Von Fürstenberg has also decided to mold a career in the fashion industry as a model and a fashion designer. The pair even launched their own fashion line, TVF, in partnership with Diane's line, DVF. Besides Talita living up to her grandmother's fashion abilities, she was also gifted with her delicately fine features.
Laela Wilding: Granddaughter of Elizabeth Taylor
During Elizabeth Taylor's time on earth, she captivated millions around the globe with her iconic roles and her personal life. She had a good heart, and today, the legacy that she created lives on with her grandchildren. Of all of Taylor's grandkids, another one who was gifted her looks is granddaughter Laela Wilding.
She may not be the sort of movie star that her grandmother was, but besides being a yoga instructor and graphic designer, she is also an activist for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Laela is the oldest grandchild out of Taylor's ten grandchildren and probably got to spend the most time with her grandmother since she was already 30 years old at the time of her passing.
India Eisley: Granddaughter of Anthony Eisley
Anthony Eisley was an actor best known for his role as the detective Tracy Stelle in "Hawaiian Eye." The series was set in tropical Honolulu and ran for four seasons from 1959 to 1962. Besides this famed series, Eisley was also part of the cast of the crime drama "The Naked Kiss," which aired in 1964. He made quite a name for himself with over 100 acting credits to his name.
His granddaughter India Eisley not only got his bloodline's acting talents, but apparently, she also got his looks. As you can see, they have almost identical noses and smiles. Unlike her grandfather's detective roles, she has gone for thriller roles, and her most prominent acting job to date has probably got to be 2012's "Underworld: Awakening."
Brooke Shields: Granddaughter of Francis Xavier Shields
Due to the debonair good looks that Francis Xavier Shields carried, he managed to land himself a few minor Hollywood roles. However, he started out as an amateur tennis player in the 1920s, and by the age of 22, he was ranked as the second-best tennis player in the world. His second marriage to American heiress Marina Torlonia di Civitella-Cesi produced two children, Francis Xavier Alexander, Jr. and Christina Shields.
Brooke Shields, the granddaughter of Francis Xavier Shields, started acting at the age of 11 months and later gained notoriety for her role in "Pretty Baby," in which she starred at the age of 11 years. She not only got her grandfather's talent for acting, but she also got the bloodline's refined looks. It's easy to see why she has landed on countless "Most Beautiful Actresses" lists, and that's thanks to her grandpappy’s good genes.
Frankie Barrymore Kopelman: Granddaughter of John Drew Barrymore Jr.
John Drew Barrymore and his daughter Drew Barrymore all reign from the Barrymore family, which is kind of like a British-American acting dynasty that traces its roots to the mid-1800s in London. John made his acting debut at just 17, despite his mother trying to dissuade him from the career path by sending him to the military academy. Obviously, her efforts didn't work, as he went ahead and followed an acting career and made quite a name for himself and his descendants. Today, he has over 40 acting credits to his name.
His daughter, Drew Barrymore, has also followed in his acting footsteps, and his granddaughter, Frankie Barrymore Kopelman, is still pretty young and hasn't entered the acting scene yet, but with a name like that, what else is there to expect? Frankie did, however, earn her grandfather's blonde hair, and let's see if she follows the acting succession.
Giada De Laurentiis: Granddaughter of Dino De Laurentiis
The Oscar-winning Dino De Laurentiis ran away from home at the age of 17 to enroll himself in film school. He supported himself by taking odd jobs in the movie industry, including acting as a propman, an extra, and at times, an actor. It paid off since he had already produced his own film before reaching the age of 21.
In his late 30s, he earned himself an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for the flick "La Strada." His granddaughter Giada De Laurentiis did not follow his career in the showbiz industry, but she did at least get to earn some of his looks and his family name. Giada is a chef, writer, and TV personality, quite the contrast from her ancestor's career paths.
Raphael De Niro: Grandson of Robert De Niro Sr.
Robert De Niro Sr. was an expressionist abstract painter. He was quite prolific in the art scene, and today, a short documentary about him was created by his son Robert De Niro Jr: "Remembering the Artist According to De Niro Jr." Robert also took a creative career path, except he opted for acting, and due to his talents he managed to forge a big name for himself in the industry. Besides numerous awards in the world of acting, he also earned himself a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016 from President Barack Obama.
His most notable flick has probably got to be "The Godfather" and most recently "The Irishman." His son Raphael De Niro has not followed the career paths of his predecessor father or grandfather since he took a career in high-end real estate, but we can say that he did gain his grandfather's features.
Julian Thicke: Grandson of Alan Thicke
Alan Thicke is a Canadian actor best known for portraying Dr. Jason Seaver on the 80s sitcom "Growing Pains." In 2013, he was awarded a spot on Canada's Walk of Fame. His son, Robin Thicke, didn't exactly take his father's acting talent, but he did garner a successful music career for himself. He has collaborated with numerous big names from the music industry, including Nicki Minaj, Usher, and Pharrell Williams, to name a few.
His son is still young, but it's pretty clear that Julian looks more like his grandfather than his father. We will have to wait and see if he follows in the footsteps of his father's music career or his grandfather's acting career. Either way, he has been blessed with a famous family name, so it would be easy for him to enter into either one.
