25 Acting Duo Who Were Perfectly Matched Their Roles Of Parents And Kids

Jimmy Henton

Scientists show that some children with the same parents may look so different. But two people who don’t relate to each other can be so alike, especially in the movie field. Some actors who take the roles of parents and kids in a movie, resemble the partners in the movie. Of course, they don’t even know each other before. In fact, so many people misunderstand that they are parents and kids in real life. 
Olivia as Carla Gugino and Theo Crain as Kate Siegel in The Haunting of the Hill House are examples. Absolutely, we are convinced that they are mother and daughter. They look so much alike! And Shelby Corcoran as Idina Menzel and Rachel Berry as Lea Michele in Glee are also worth mentioning. They are supposed to share the family name in real life. Or, at least, they are related to each other. But it never happens.
