16 Actors With Their On-Screen Children Vs. Real-Life Children
Actors have children. But not all of them share the love for the silver screen and start acting early. Whether it's due to the script, or their kids just don’t want to be in a movie, often times the actors who play parent and children aren’t necessarily actual parents and children.
A part of casting actors to play parents and children is that they have to share some similar physical traits. Thus, a lot of time, the actors’ onscreen children look very convincing. This adds a realistic touch to the movie’s magic.
While the chemistry and acting make the relationship believable and even touching, at times, we have to ask: “What are their real-life children look like?” Well, wonder no more! We have 16 pairs of actors on-screen children vs. real-life children.
