We are often amazed at how people look identical to other people. This can happen between siblings and daughters or sons and their parents. Still, it can be also hard to explain why but people keep talking about doppelgänger and get stunned by the same old formulas, like "Oh God, he looks uncannily like his father," "Jesus, how they look so similar?"
And when it comes to celebrity children and their parents, the story can be even more predictable. Fans are extremely fascinated by how some children bear an uncanny similarity to their famous parents. Their stunning looks, from their extremely similar facial characteristics to their genuine grins and splendid hair, are a powerful giveaway of their familial link. And we wonder if they have inherited their parents' exceptional artistic talents, which could lead to them becoming A-listers when the time comes.
