Can celebrities really manifest their dream roles through style choices?
We all inherit things from our families. In the case of these famous families, the lucky sons inherited their father's good looks and star power! While many of these celebrity dads are in their twilight years, or have even passed away, it's fascinating to look back at their youth and see just how similar they were to their handsome sons. Click through and prepare to be surprised!
Colin Hanks is the oldest son of Hollywood legend and all-around good guy Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks has four children in total, but Colin is the one who really has the look of a young Tom!
He's also had significant success in his own acting career, with memorable roles in shows like 'Dexter' and 'Fargo.'
This father and son duo have a pretty significant age gap. Clint had Scott when he was 56 years old!
They might not look so similar now, but if you look back at Clint in his Spaghetti Western heyday, you can see where Scott gets his looks.
Scott Eastwood actually dressed up as his father's most iconic character, the "man with no name" from 'A Fistful of Dollars,' for a charity event.
Prince William is much closer in appearance to his father than his brother Prince Harry is. There's something about the nose!
Then-Prince Charles was rather distinguished looking when he was younger.
William wasn't as lucky with his hairline, but he certainly got the jaw!
Ice Cube's son's name is O'Shea Jackson Jr., which means Ice Cube's real name is O'Shea Jackson. Who knew?!
Ice Cube is well known for his career as both a rapper and an actor.
His son is also an actor, and raps under the stage name OMG. He portrayed his father in the critically-acclaimed film 'Straight Outta Compton.' Needless to say, he did a great job!
Actor Lloyd Bridges was known for his role in the classic comedy 'Airplane!' as well as a string of other comedy and action movies. He passed away in 1998.
Lloyd had four children, two of whom also became famous actors. Beau Bridges was very successful, but his brother Jeff really has his father's looks.
Jeff Bridges, also known as "The Dude" for his role in the cult classic film 'The Big Lebowski,' really looks like his father's son.
Martin Sheen also has four children, and they all ended up in acting!
Martin was known for his enviable jawline and thick head of hair.
His son Charlie Sheen, well known for his years of acting success as well as his years of erratic behavior, certainly got his father's looks.
Martin's other son, Emilio Estevez, also has an uncanny likeness to his father!
Jerry Stiller found a true comedy legacy in his son, Ben.
Jerry and his wife, Anne Meara, were a famous comedy duo in their day, and Jerry went on to get a part in one of the biggest sitcoms of all time: 'Seinfeld.'
Raised by two comedians, it was inevitable that Ben would go on to dominate the comedy world. He inherited his late father's sense of humor as well as his wide grin (and his ears!).
Swedish actor Stellan Skarsgård has a whopping eight children! Two of them are still young children, but many of the others found success in acting.
Stellan had a varied career, starring in both Swedish and international hits. He's been in everything from 'Mamma Mia!' to 'Chernobyl.'
His most famous son, Alexander Skarsgård, has a serious resemblance to his father, but it's safe to say he has an extra edge that's all his own.
Alan Thicke was a Canadian actor best known for his role as the father in '80s hit sitcom 'Growing Pains'.
He also hosted several shows in Canada and the US, and continued acting in television and film until his death in 2016.
His son, Robin Thicke, climbed to fame with the infamous song 'Blurred Lines.' The eyes, the face, the hair: it's all Alan!
Famous father and son Will and Jaden Smith are polar opposites in terms of style. Jaden definitely takes after his mom, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
However, if you look back at a young Will, the resemblance is a lot stronger.
It's definitely easier to spot the similarities when Jaden doesn't have pink hair, blonde eyebrows, and a grill!
