From the moment we're born, we are compared to our parents. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins crowd around the baby crib to offer comments like 'she has her father's nose,' or 'she looks like her mum when she smiles.' However, rather than appearing like a blended version of both parents, some people really do follow firmly in the genetic footsteps of one of their parents. The same is true for
celebrities and their children, which means that many children resemble one of their famous parents.
For example, Miley Cyrus is a perfect replica of her mother, Tish Cyrus, whereas Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's daughter, Giovanna LaValle, has inherited her lovely dark locks and eyes. Especially, Reese Witherspoon and her lookalike daughter Ava Elizabeth Phillippe are often mistaken because they look like twins!
Scroll down to see a list of 15 celebrities and their lookalike children. I'm curious as to how these stars feel about having a younger version of themselves hanging around...

Looking at her 22-year-old daughter Ava Phillippe is like going back in time for Reese Witherspoon, who began her career at such a young age. When they pose together, the resemblance is especially obvious. Phillippe has inherited her mother's eyes, smile, and pretty much everything else.
