Parents and children are genetically predisposed to look alike, but sometimes, the similarities can leave you gobsmacked. Case in point, Catherine Zeta-Jones and her daughter, Carys Zeta Douglas. Carys is anything but ordinary. She’s a rare kind of dynasty kid.
Her mother says Carys is young with a unique style but never “inappropriate.” Carys first captured the attention of the press after two fashion week appearances with her mother. Like her mom, Carys exudes glamor, serenity, and an intuitive sense of style.
Goldie Hawn & Kate Hudson
Goldie Hawn has been on TV screens as early as the '60s and is probably best known for her role in the movie Cactus Flower, for which she won a Golden Globe. Of her three children, the one you'll surely recognize is her daughter Kate Hudson. One of Hudson's most famous films, which also happens to be everyone's favorite romantic comedy, is How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
Kate was raised by her mother, and the two have stayed very close and supportive of one another throughout the years. On Goldie's 73rd birthday, her daughter posted a photo of them on her Instagram account, along with a heartfelt caption saying: “Fearless leader, my number one, my heart, my love, my joy, my everything, MY MAMA! Happy happy happy birthday.” These two superstars have become icons of their generations.
Diana Ross & Tracee Ellis Ross
Diana Ross started her career as a singer in the singing group The Supremes, then went on and became a successful solo artist, and eventually became an award-nominated actress starring in classic films like Lady Sings the Blues, Mahogany, and The Wiz, where she starred beside her friend Michael Jackson.
Her daughter with music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein, Tracee Ellis Ross, plays a lead character in the popular TV show Blackish. When she's not busy acting and producing, you can find video clips of her on Instagram that will make you instantly fall in love with her playful and quirky personality. They can both act, sing, and know how to move. Talk about a triple threat, times two! Name a more dynamic Hollywood duo, we'll wait.
Demi Moore & Rumer Willis
Demi Moore is an accomplished actress, director, model, and former songwriter. She has proven again and again how dedicated she is to her craft. You know, not many actresses would shave their heads bald for a movie role like she did in the iconic film G.I Jane. Rumer Willis is Moore's eldest daughter with ex-husband and "action hero" Bruce Willis. With such talented parents, it's no surprise that they would birth such an amazing woman. Rumer has had recurring appearances on the hit series Pretty Little Liars and Empire.
Despite their separation, Rumer's parents still remain close, and they even reunited for her 30th birthday celebration. With such a close-knit family, no wonder Rumer grew up to be so confident and successful herself. And there is surely more to come.
Madonna & Lourdes Leon
There's probably not a pop radio station in the world that hasn't played the tunes of Madonna. They don't call her The Queen of Pop for nothing, she doesn't even have to use her last name! Madonna has always been known as a rebel in the music industry, as far as her lyrics, fashion, and unapologetic behavior, and it seems that her personality has definitely rubbed off on her oldest daughter, Lourdes Leon.
Lourdes, who also goes by, Lola, is a runway model for Stella McCartney, and a fashion designer for her and her mom's clothing line, “Material Girl”. This young woman is already attempting to conquer the fashion world. She's just as fearless as her mama.
Reese Witherspoon & Ava Phillippe
Reese Witherspoon, the star of the cult movie franchise Legally Blonde must have carbon-copied herself when she and her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, had their daughter Ava Phillippe. The resemblance between this mother-daughter duo is probably the most striking in this whole gallery. There are photos of young Witherspoon where she looks exactly like her daughter. Just look at this photo below, you have to take a second glance to see who's who.
Phillippe made her first official mark in the fashion world when she starred in the lookbook for Rodarte's Fall 2018 collection, alongside huge names like Halle Berry. Not bad. Besides modeling, she's also a talented artist and often posts her sketches and sculptures on her Instagram account.
Lisa Bonet & Zoë Kravitz
Lisa Bonet & Zoë Kravitz are probably the most gorgeous mother-daughter duo on our list. Bonet is most famously known for her role as Denise Huxtable in the television classic The Cosby Show, and the spin-off A Different World. Kravitz has made quite a few Big screen appearances of her own — she played, Angel Salvadore, in the superhero film X-Men: First Class, and had a lead role in Mad Max: Fury Road.
Other than her rising acting career, she's also the frontwoman in the band, LOLAWOLF. Did we mention that her father is no other than, Lenny Kravitz? No wonder she's such a rock star! Zoe Kravitz sure inherited her mom's air of mystique. Their aura almost makes you believe that they have magical powers. We're totally bewitched.
Brad Pitt & Shiloh Jolie Pitt
When your parents are two of the most alluring people in Hollywood, it's only natural that people will be drawn to you. This is the case of Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh Jolie Pitt. Shiloh shows a striking resemblance to her father, but you can also see here some of her mother's, Angelina Jolie's, features in the mix.
Shiloh Jolie Pitt, like her mother, goes by her own rules. When she was younger, some confused her for a boy, as she liked to dress in boyish clothes since she was 3 years old. We think that it's awesome that she has parents who give her the freedom to express herself how she chooses.
Halle Berry & Nahla Aubry
Halle Berry has been making history since the beginning of her career. In 1986, she was the first African-American Miss World contestant, she finished sixth. Later in 2001, she became the first African-American actress to win an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in the movie Monster's Ball. What a role model her daughter, Nahla Aubry, has to guide her.
As of late, Berry has been keeping Nahla out of the public eye. Halle is in the midst of a court battle with her ex-husband, Gabriel Aubry, who she alleges to be less than proud of his daughter's African-American Heritage. She claims that Aubry changes the texture and color of their daughter's hair whenever she's in his custody. We hope these allegations are false. It would be horrible if sweet little Nahla had to go through such psychological damage, not to mention her hair. Bleaching isn't healthy for the tresses.
Gwyneth Paltrow & Apple Martin
Among her many movie appearances, Gwyneth Paltrow's most notable role is from the movie Shakespeare in Love for which she won a Golden Globe AND an Oscar. She is also quite the businesswoman — she is the founder of the popular lifestyle newsletter Goop.
Just by looking at the photo, there's no doubt who Apple Martin's mother is, despite the fact that they have different last names. Her father, Chris Martin, is the lead singer of the English band, Coldplay. Apple is still young, but we can surely expect great things from her in the future if she emulates her parent's steps to success.
Katie Holmes & Suri Cruise
What happens when the star of the Mission Impossible franchise and the actress with girl-next-door vibes make a baby together? Well, you get Suri Cruise! The daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Suri Cruise is always seen looking her cutest, with her big bows and calf-length floral dresses, she has quite the fashion sense for a young girl. Future trendsetter?
Sadly, reports claim that Holmes is no longer a member of the church of Scientology and is therefore considered a Suppressive Person in their terms. The rumor says that because of that, Tom Cruise must limit his contact with her and his daughter Suri. It's pretty sad when differences in ideologies come between a family.
Cindy Crawford & Kaia Gerber
This supermodel and actress has an interesting background you may not have known about — Cindy Crawford graduated valedictorian of her high school, and was such a smarty-pants that she was granted an academic scholarship to major in chemical engineering in university. After one quarter, she dropped out of college too and decided to follow her passion, so she went on to pursue her modeling career full-time. In 1986 she signed with the Elite New York modeling agency. She's got the beauty and the brains!
From a young age, her daughter Kaia Gerber decided to step out of her mother's shadow and pursue a career as a fashion model in her own right. She has appeared in campaigns for high fashion brands such as Versace, Prada, and Chanel. Go get it, girl!
Vanessa Paradis & Lily-Rose Depp
Lily-Rose Depp is the daughter of French singer, actress, and model Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp, who portrays everyone's favorite pirate Jack Sparrow in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean. Lilly Rose-Depp is fluent in English and French and thus has the advantage of getting movie roles in both her mother tongues.
She also has quite the modeling catalog- she's been the face of Chanel's eye-wear line and their signature fragrance, No°5 L'Eau. Depp has admitted to suffering from anorexia in the past, which is still a battle for her at times. We hope she continues to recover, and love the skin she's in. We love seeing her on the big screen like her mom and pops.
Kanye West & North West
North West is the eldest child of one of Hollywood's most controversial couples — Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. From promiscuous videos to questionable tweets, it seems like the West-Kardashians are always in the headlines for something.
Not only does little North have one of the coolest names in young Hollywood, but she is also one of the most fashionable, which is expected considering that both her parents are icons in the fashion industry. She is still too young to realize what all the fuss around her parents is, but we do wonder what she'll think about her parent's shenanigans once she gets older. Will she join the family's shenanigans? Wonder if she thinks about her dad wearing MAGA hats?
Tish Cyrus & Miley Cyrus
It seems as if overnight Miley Cyrus went from being America's sweetheart, starring in her Disney show, Hanna Montana, to appearing half-naked on a wrecking ball in a controversial music video. Miley has definitely been through a bad-girl phase, but that's pretty normal for adolescence, and even more so for those who grew up in the spotlight.
Tish Cyrus is an actress and producer, married to country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. The couple has filed for divorce twice in the past (yes, twice), in 2010, and 2013, but ended up dropping the divorce on both occasions. Seems like despite their differences at times, they can't live without one another.
Teresa Giudice & Gia Giudice
This spicy Italian mother and daughter pair are best known from the reality TV show, The Real Housewives of New Jersey. This family has had their fair share of drama, and viewers LOVE drama. Teresa and her husband Joe Giudice were charged with some major criminal charges: conspiracy, wire and bank fraud, and bankruptcy fraud. Consequently, they were sentenced to serve jail time, yes, real jail! Teresa was sentenced to 15 months in federal prison, and her husband Joe was sentenced to 41 months, PLUS deportation back to his homeland, Italy. This all played out on viewers' TV screens, making their family one of the most interesting to watch.
Their daughter Gia was in the midst of her family falling apart, and was really strong throughout the whole endeavor, making people fall in love with her strength and bravery. She also declared that she would fight the court's decision to deport her father to Italy. Gia stated "My father is no threat to society[...] he is one of the most warm-hearted people I know, he would never harm a soul. He puts everyone else before himself... My father did his time and learned from his mistakes. Isn’t being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person?"
Damon Wayans & Damon Wayans Jr.
Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. must be the most hilarious father-son duo in Hollywood. Damon Sr. comes from a lineage of talented performers; his mother was a singer, and six out of his nine siblings are accomplished actors. What are the chances?! So it seems that it is only natural that Damon Jr. would follow in his family's footsteps. Damon Sr. was a writer for the hit sketch comedy show In Living Color, and the co-creator/co-producer of many other classic movies and TV shows like Major Payne and My Wife and Kids.
Damon Jr. started his acting career at a young age when he played the younger version of his father in the movie Blankman in 1994. You can catch him on the comedy show New Girl. They actually look like brothers in this photo rather than father and son. Would you believe that Damon Sr. is 58?! He sure is aging well, but then again you know what they say, "black don't crack".
Natalie Portman & Aleph
Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman's most celebrated role was in the film Black Swan, where she portrayed a ballerina with a dark side. She won several awards for her performance. Portman is married to French dancer and choreographer Benjamin Millepied. The couple are both dedicated to supporting the arts, which they feel are neglected in the public education system.
The couple has two children, including their young son, Aleph. With the support of two very artistic parents, we can surely expect Aleph to have the support he needs to cultivate his talents. Will he be a dancer like his father? An actor like his mother? Who knows?
Mike Tyson & Miguel Tyson
Mike Tyson, formerly known as The Baddest Man on the Planet, was once the champion of the boxing world since then he's calmed down his aggression and became a family man. After all, he has 8 kids, it's hard to have a healthy work-life balance when you have a house so full.
In a recent video, Miguel Tyson, Mike Tyson's son, was seen showing his moves on a punching bag, and it's safe to say that he definitely inherited some of his father's talent. His father, however, prefers that he pursue a different career path than he did. With all the talk around the damages of Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), no wonder he is not keen on his son being a pro boxer.
Kate Moss & Lila Grace Moss
Kate Moss, the English fashion model and businesswoman, was known as one of the “50 Sexiest Women of All Time” and has made the cover of several magazines around the world. Her daughter, Lila Grace Moss, has already landed a cover of Vogue!
Kate Moss was once known as the face of "Heroin chic" and for her infamous mantra "Nothing tastes as great as skinny feels." Years later, now as a mother to a young woman, she regrets spreading that idea. She empowers her daughter and other young women and encourages them to be body-positive and not give in to western beauty standards.
Will Smith & Jaden Smith
There's almost no need to explain who Will Smith is. Among his Oscar nominations and Grammys, he's currently also one of Instagram's favorite personalities. Jaden Smith is a young philosopher at heart, sharing his deepest thoughts on social media, but they aren't often understood by his peers. Jaden attempted to open more people's minds to gender fluidity when he became the first male model to model women's wear for Louis Vuitton.
Jaden also is a co-owner of the spring water company Just Water, which manufactures and distributes water in paper bottles rather than plastic, in order to reduce waste. He has also attempted to develop a water filtration system that's affordable and can be used in underdeveloped countries. Fun fact about the Smiths: Jaden's name is inspired by his mother, Jada Pinkett Smith's name, while his sister's name, Willow, was inspired by their dad's name William.
Christie Brinkley & Sailor Brinkley Cook
In 1981, Christie Brinkley appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated for the third year in a row (1979-1981). That had never been done before. She was also the face of Cover Girl for 25 years and has appeared on the cover of more than 500 magazines! But don't let her good looks fool you, she's quite the businesswoman as well. In 2018 her financial holdings were worth an estimated $250 million, primarily from real estate and several companies that she owns.
In 2018, her daughter, Sailor Brinkley Cook, also graced the cover of Sports Illustrated just like her mama. People were quick to comment on the striking resemblance between the two. In 2019's New York Fashion week, Christie and Sailor walked the runway together! How cool is that?
Tom Hanks & Colin Hanks
Tom Hanks is the fourth highest-grossing actor in North America. He has been nominated for several awards during his career. He's won a Golden Globe, an Academy Award for Best Actor, a People's Choice Award for Best Actor, and a Screen Actors Guild Award... the list goes on actually. Quite impressive for a college dropout we must say.
His son, Collin Hanks, has a few hot series on his resume, he starred in the beloved teenage drama The O.C. and had recurrent roles in Fargo, Roswell, and The Good Guys.
John Ritter & Jason Ritter
John Ritter was a beloved actor and comedian. He was best known for his role in the classic series Three's Company. In 2003, John passed away from complications after a heart attack, 6 days shy of his 55th birthday. Tex Ritter, the popular Country Music Hall of Fame singer was John Ritter's father.
Jason Ritter is the eldest son of John Ritter and the grandson of Tex Ritter. Being from a family of celebrated entertainers you'd probably think that Jason Ritter couldn't handle the pressure, but he seems to be doing just fine. He was nominated for an Emmy for his role in the series Parenthood, and he starred in the comedy TV series, Kevin (Probably) Saves the World. Fun fact: If you go back to the opening credits of John's show, Three's Company, you'll notice a little boy with blond hair running up to the actress Joyce DeWitt — that's little Jason!
Jennifer Lopez, Max & Emme Muñiz
Jennifer Lopez is arguably one of the most, if not the most famous Latina entertainers of all time of all times. She started her career as a Fly Girl — the house dance troupe of the sketch comedy series In Living Color. She moved on to pursue an acting career, and in 1997 she landed her first leading role in the biopic Selena. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her wonderful performance and became the first Latina actress to earn over $1 million for a film. The rest is her-story. In November 2007, Jennifer Lopez and her ex-husband Mark Anthony announced that they were expecting twins, and today we have the adorable Max and Emme Muñiz.
Young Emme already has plans to publish her first book, a children's book called, Lord Help Me! Her twin brother Max is very supportive of the idea. Maybe he'll help her with the marketing?
JAY-Z & Blue Ivy Carter
JAY-Z, one of the most acclaimed rappers of all time (though now we mostly hear about his business endeavors), is married to none other than Queen Bey herself — Beyoncé. Together they have 3 children. The oldest one, Blue Ivy Carter already has an undeniable stage presence.
You have to watch the clips of Blue Ivy's reactions to her parents performing, or bossing them around! You can tell by her facial expressions that she doesn't understand what their fans are going crazy about, yet. We can't wait to see what's in store for the little Queen Bey, or should we say Princess B?
Salma Hayek & Valentina
Mexico-native actress Salma Hayek made her most iconic performance when she portrayed the exquisite Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo, in the film Frida. This performance led to many roles that have made her one of Hollywood's favorite actresses today. Salma Hayek has a daughter named Valentina Paloma Pinault with her husband François-Henri Pinault. Salma has expressed that because she waited to have kids relatively late in life, she wasn't sure she would be successful, and once she did give birth, she cherishes every moment with her kid.
Salma famously posted a sweet video of her daughter Valentina giving her a haircut! It was so sweet, as Hayek is used to getting professional haircuts that cost hundreds of dollars, but she still let her daughter practice her styling skills and used herself as the canvas.
Kris Jenner & Kimberly Kardashian
Kim Kardashian rose to stratum after a sex tape was "leaked" starring her and her boyfriend at the time, R&B singer, Ray-J. Shortly after, Kim's family landed a reality TV show deal, and thus, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, also known by the acronym, KUWTK, was born. The mother, Kris Jenner, along with Kim and her 4 sisters are the stars of the show. The show debuted in October 2007 and has become one of the longest-running reality television series in the U.S.
Kris Jenner manages her daughters' careers. With all of her daughters' business endeavors — makeup lines, modeling campaigns, new fragrances, and more — she sure has a lot on her hands. Not to mention that she too has her own projects, she's hosted her own talk show and has authored a cookbook. It's probably not hard to believe but Ms. @kimkardashian is the eighth-most-followed user on Instagram.
Kate Beckinsale & Lily Mo Sheen
Kate Beckinsale is a British actress, who you probably recognize from movies such as The Aviator and Click. In the latter, she appeared alongside Adam Sandler. Guess who else starred in the movie Click with them — Kate's daughter, Lily Mo Sheen.
Lily Mo Sheen already seems to be walking in the footsteps of her parents, Kate and Michael Sheen. Maybe we'll catch more of her collaborations with the family in the future.
Yolanda Hadid & Gigi Hadid
In 2013 Gigi Hadid was signed to IMG Models and quickly rose to fame. A year later she won the title of International Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council. It's safe to say that her place in the modeling world is secure for this beauty.

Seeing both of them, in the same movie! In 2015 the father and son appeared together in the western-drama film Forsaken. Fun Fact: Kiefer and fellow actor Robert Downey Jr. were roommates for 3 years when he first moved to Hollywood.
Martin Sheen & Charlie Sheen
Martin Sheen didn't get an easy start, to say the least — he contracted polio when he was a child making him bedridden for a year, then lost his mother and was about to be sent to an orphanage... through all of his hardships, he managed to prevail, and even make his dream of becoming a performing artist a reality.
He received his widest recognition for his performances in the war film Apocalypse Now and the political drama series The West Wing, and has been sought after ever since. His son Charlie Sheen, on the other hand, didn't have to experience such hardship, luckily! Charlie Sheen has a very successful acting career, to the point where he was the highest-paid American TV star on a network primetime show ($1.8 million per episode) for his role in Two and a Half Men.
Clint Eastwood & Scott Eastwood
Clint Eastwood is an American filmmaker, actor, and political figure, yes, that's right, in the mid-80s he served as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. His son, Scott Eastwood, not only looks very much like young Clint, but he has his natural talent as well. He's appeared in several movies, including some of his father's movies.
But the fact that Scott is Clint's son doesn't mean he gets any role he wants in his father's movies. In fact, Scott auditioned for a role in American Sniper and didn't get it! Tough love, huh?
Meryl Streep & Mamie, Grace, and Louisa Gummer
Meryl Streep has been referred to as the best actress of her generation. Not only is she an amazing character actress, but she has the ability to mimic many different accents as well.

Paul McCartney. If you haven't heard this name before you couldn't possibly be from Earth, so you must be an alien. So we'll give you a briefing. Once upon a timeת there was a British band, arguably one of the most influential bands of all time, called The Beatles. He was one of the songwriters and singers of this iconic group. Needless to say, he was quite a big deal at one time.

Tina Fey & Alice Richards
Elizabeth Stamatina Fey, most commonly known as Tina Fey, proves again and again that comedy is certainly not a man's playing field. From Saturday Night Live to 30 Rock, she proves again and again that she is one of the funniest actors in Hollywood.
Alice Zenobia Richards, Tina Fey’s oldest daughter with husband Jeff Richmond, has already gotten quite a bit of screentime. Both Alice and her younger sister Penelope have starred in their parents’ television projects. Alice played young Liz Lemon on the show 30 Rock, and also in an American Express print ad alongside her mother.
Uma Thurman & Maya Thurman-Hawke
Uma Thurman is an actress of the highest caliber, able to adapt to a variety of genres, ranging from romantic comedies and dramas to Sci-Fi and action movies. She's probably best known for her roles in Quentin Tarantino's films Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. Did you know that when Uma was a child, a friend's mother suggested that she get a nose-job? We're so glad she didn't take that rude mom's advice!
Most people didn't realize that Uma Thurman had a daughter because she tried her best to keep her personal life as private as possible. But, as her daughter wishes to pursue a career in entertainment her mother is giving her the tips of the trade. Like her mother (and grandmother), Maya Thurman-Hawke has appeared on the cover of Vogue. She dropped out of the famous school of arts, Julliard, to accept a role in a BBC mini-series adaptation of Little Women. She's also famously appeared on the hit series Stranger Things.
Kim Zolciak & Brielle Biermann
The viewers of the Real House Wives of Atlanta were introduced to this mother-and-daughter team, Kim Zolciak and Brielle Biermann along with her other five other kids. They were so popular on the show that they were given their own spin-off, “Don’t Be Tardy…”.
Brielle is like her mother's side-kick, serving as her backup against co-stars like Kenya Moore. Kim and Brielle are not ashamed about the cosmetic procedures they undergo and ignore the critics who tease them for it. Hey, it's seems to have gotten them this far, so if it ain't broke...
Nicole Richie & Harlow Richie
Nicole Richie was adopted by the legendary singer and songwriter, Lionel Richie. He was able to provide her with a better life than her biological parents. She rose to fame from the Reality TV show The Simple Life alongside her side-kick at the time, Paris Hilton.
Nicole Richie expressed how her feelings of abandonment, criticism, and all the struggles she's experienced have made her want to be the best mother as possible to her daughter Harlow. We're sure she won't have to experience any of those hardships with her mother by her side.
Britney Spears, Sean & Jayden James-Federline
Britney Spears has been entertaining fans ever since she was a child on the Micky Mouse Club. But when she released her single ...Baby One More Time, the game changed competently and she became one of the biggest teenage pop stars of all time.
Nowadays Britney still performs, but she would much rather spend her time with her sons, Sean & Jayden James Federline. With such a dedicated, fun, and outgoing mom we have no doubt they will grow up to be awesome adults.
James Marsden & Jack Marsden
James Marsden is a model turned actor. He started his acting career guest-starring in hit TV shows but got his breakthrough role in the X-Men film series followed by Superman Returns.

Lori Loughlin & Olivia Jade
Lori Loughlin was one of the most sought-after women actresses in the '80s. But millennials will always remember her as Aunt Becky from Full House.
Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade, is already a star in her own right. She runs a very successful YouTube channel where she gives fashion and lifestyle tips. Her bubbly personality is one of the reasons she has millions subscribed to her channel.
Jessica Alba & Honor Marie Warren
Jessica Alba, the Fantastic 4 and Sin City veteran is more than an action hero. She is also a successful businesswoman — she founded “The Honest Company”, which is an 'ethical' brand of household consumer goods, with a list of components that the company promises to never allow in its products. The company has an estimated value of over $1 billion.
Luckily for her, Jessica Alba's daughter, Honor Marie Warren, gets to benefit from not only having such an inspirational mom but also enjoying her cruelty-free products! Her mother also tries to expose her to Latina heritage as much as possible and speaks to her in Spanish. Alba once stated: “They are going to be global citizens and will need to understand many languages, including Spanish, to make a difference in the world.”
David Beckham & Brooklyn Beckham
David Beckham, now retired, is one of the most famous English footballers ever. At one point he was on top of the world. His wife is Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl turned fashionista and lifestyle guru. With two parents out of this world, some would expect their kids to be spoiled brats. But their son, Brooklyn Beckham, is very grounded.
Brooklyn once worked a very regular job in a café as a teenager, not rushing to be in front of a camera. He's an aspiring photographer and has already published a book of his photo collections.
Robin Wright & Dylan Penn
Robin Wright is actually one of the few actors who've managed to transition from soap operas to film. She made her debut on the big screen in the magical Princess Bride and recently appeared in the DC comic movie Wonder Woman.
Robin Wright's daughter, Dylan Penn, who looks a lot like her, is a model. Her father is none other than Sean Penn. Before being a glamorous model, she delivered pizzas, waited tables, and worked at an advertising agency! We're sure all those experiences gave hr the work ethic she has today.

She's won Emmys and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences awards for her amazing television show. Her ex-husband is Arnold Schwarzenegger, with whom she had a very public break after he cheated on her with their nanny. Fun fact: She's also a member of the Kennedy family.
Maria Shriver definitely passed down her tenaciousness to her daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger. With that unique last name, no need to tell you who her father is. Katherine created and operated a popular lifestyle hub, and she has authored many books, including a children's book. She's a wordsmith like her mama!
Olivia Wilde & Otis Sudeikis
Olivia Wilde is one of the renaissance women we have on the list. She's an actor, director, activist... and the list goes on. Somehow, she finds the time to be a nurturing mother to her young children — her daughter Daisy Josephine, and two sons, Jason and Otis Sudeikis, and tries to give them a "normal" life.
Olivia Wilde often shares sweet moments of her adorable kids on her social media accounts, you have to check them out, your heart will absolutely melt.
Stephen Baldwin & Hailey Baldwin
The Baldwins are a household name in Hollywood. Stephen Baldwin, who is a Trump supporter, is Alec Baldwin's brother, who does the hilarious impersonations of Trump. Let's just say, family dinner can get really tense at times. It was reported that the bרothers didn't even meet for Thanksgiving because Stephen dined with the Trumps. Whatever happened to blood being thicker than water?
Unfortunately, Stephen Baldwin's beautiful daughter, Hailey Baldwin, is caught in the family mix. She once said, “The thing that’s tough that I still struggle with is any decision that my father makes, his choices personally or publicly, it does reflect on me.” But we think this young model carries herself very well. She is now married to the singer, Justin Bieber. We hope she enjoys her life as a newlywed and that her family sorts their differences out soon.
Minnie Riperton & Maya Rudolph
The melodic old Hollywood singer, Minnie Riperton rose to fame with her hit song, Lovin’ You, in 1975. Her unique five-octave operatic soprano voice makes it one of the most difficult songs to master. But you could never tell when she sang it. She was also known as the Queen of the Whistle Register because of her vocal range.
Minnie Riperton's daughter, Maya Rudolph, started her career as a singer in an alternative rock band called The Rentals. However, people quickly noticed her great comedic side and pushed her to be a comedian. So Saturday Night Live was the obvious place for her to land.
Bette Midler & Sophie Von Haselberg
Bette Midler is undoubtedly in the pack of Hollywood’s leading ladies, standing in the same line as Meryl Streep, Geena Davis, and Barbara Streisand. Her daughter, Sophie Von Haselberg is almost a splitting image of her, take a look!
Sophie is not only her mother's spitting image, but she also shares a sense of humor and vivaciousness. She has starred in Woody Allen‘s Irrational Man. In an interview, Allen said about her, “She’s wonderful. She came in with a lot of other women that read [...] and she was just good… She projects intelligence because she’s intelligent.”
George Harrison & Dhani Harrison
George Harrison is not the only member of the Beatles to get a spot on our list. As their lead guitarist, George had a major role in song curation and was credited for incorporating Indian instruments and Hindu spirituality into their melodies.
His son, Dhani, has got a good sum of his dad's genius and is a gifted musician in his own right. He performs all over the world with his band. At one time was also a model, and was the face of GAP. But we guess it really wasn't his style because he retired early to launch his composing career, in which he was quite successful. In October 2017, he released his first solo album, In Parallel.
Kyra Sedgwick & Sosie Bacon
Kyra Sedgwick is a talented actress, producer, and director. Remember her from The Closer? After having a daughter, Sosie Bacon, she admits that she and her husband, Kevin Bacon, tried to "shield" young Sosie from the entertainment industry. In an attempt “to get it out of her system” Kevin cast her in “Loverboy”, but that probably just sparked her love for performing.
Young Sosie has also appeared alongside her mom Kyra in four episodes of The Closer and since finishing school is gradually going to auditions and following her parents' footsteps. She stars in the hit series, 13 Reasons Why.
Jessica Simpson & Maxwell Johnson
After exposing your whole life for anyone with a TV set to watch, there's probably little we don't know about Jessica Simpson. This pop star, reality TV star (Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica), and businesswoman has been in the entertainment business since she was 16 years old.
Her daughter, Maxwell Johnson, is still very young but already has a reputation for being a fashionista. Maybe she will design clothes for her mom's fashion line someday.
Drew Barrymore & Frankie Barrymore Kopelman
Drew Barrymore comes from a family of actors. Google the last name "Barrymore" and you will find it connected to the who's who of Hollywood. Drew gained fame of her own as a child after starring in the classic film E.T. Not everyone knows how to handle so much attention, and she pretty much lost control of her life during her teenage years. She obviously got herself together and besides being an actress she's also quite the entrepreneur.
In this photo, you can see one of Barrymore's youngest daughters, Frankie Barrymore Kopelman. Naturally, Drew Barrymore's not eager to push little Frankie into acting roles as of yet, but from the looks of it, her daughter seems to like the cameras just fine.

So much so that in 2018 she was listed in Time Magazine's annual 100 most influential people in the world. Gal Gadot once said in an interview “Alma, I’ll tell you, she’s the best thing that ever happened to me.”

Her firstborn son, Bentley Edwards, with her ex, Ryan Edwards, who also appeared with her on the reality TV show, was born at a time when his parents were very young (too young for that matter).

Celine Dion & Rene Charles Angélil
The legendary Celine Dion — the voice of Titanic’s "My Heart Will Go On" — needs no introduction. But did she pass down her incredible talents to her children? This seems to be the case with her eldest son, Rene Charles Angélil — except his musical style is worlds apart from his mother's.
Rene is a rapper in the making, with an album called "CasiNo. 5" under his belt. In 2018, he released five singles on SoundCloud, with "Catwalks" touching over 100,000 plays the following year. Mother and son are incredibly supportive of each other’s lives and careers.

Jada Pinkett Smith & Willow Smith
Think Hollywood royalty and power couple Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith immediately come to mind. Jada and her daughter, Willow, share a particularly close bond. In an interview, Jada shared she was stricter with Willow than Jaden because Black women "get judged on everything" and need to work twice as hard.

Catherine Zeta-Jones & Carys Zeta Douglas

Gordon Ramsay & Matilda Ramsay
Gordon Ramsay is known for unleashing furious f-bombs in the kitchen, at least on screen. With kids, however, the "Hell's Kitchen" star is a total softie. A father of six, the celebrity chef frequently posts about his children on Instagram. But his fourth child, Matilda, better known as Tilly, appears to share his passion for cooking the most.
Like Gordon, Tilly has appeared on cooking shows and written a cookbook, "Matilda & The Ramsay Bunch: Tilly's Kitchen Takeover." They have collaborated on several cooking shows, and Tilly has appeared as a guest on some of Gordon's best-known shows.
