16 Celebrity Kids Who Stole Their Parents' Whole Faces: See the Side-by-Side Photos

These celebrity parents did more than just pass on their talent — they handed down their entire faces.

While the children of celebrities sometimes feel they need to distance themselves from their famous parents — especially as they venture into show business — sometimes it's not just the recognizable names that are a dead giveaway. It's the genetics.

Between Ray Nicholson's mischievous grin, Damon Wayans Jr.'s mannerisms and Lila Moss' distinct facial features it's clear that some celebrity parents just hit copy and paste when it came to their kids.

Below, see side-by-side photos of celebrity children who look exactly like their famous parents.

Ray Nicholson is fully embracing the horror king legacy that's inevitably following him. The 32-year-old actor's father is the one and only Jack Nicholson who brought the chills with his sinister grin in films such as The Shining, Wolf, The Departed and more.

Ray is undoubtedly bringing the same thrill to the screen as he caused quite the stir with his equally chilling grin in Smile 2.

When Damon Wayans Jr. first came on the scene, he went by Kyle Green to distinguish himself from his famous father.

("I just wanted an unassuming name so I did my middle name, which is Kyle, and then my grandma's maiden name which is Green, " the former New Girl star explained to Stephen Colbert.)

It never worked ... partially because he looked so much like his dad.

Now 41, Damon Jr. has embraced his roots and is working alongside his legendary dad in a new CBS comedy titled Poppa's House.

An established actor in his own right, John David Washington is the son to actors Denzel and Pauletta Washington, and you cannot watch a video of the star without someone commenting, "He sounds like his dad, but looks exactly like his mom."

Come Nov. 22, we'll be able to see John David in The Piano Lesson, which was directed by brother Malcom Washington and produced by Denzel.

O'Shea Jackson Jr. looks so much like his father, his breakout role was playing the legendary rapper in the NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton. The pair even reenacted Ice Cube's famous mean mug while on Conan back in 2015 and the resemblance was just too uncanny.

If you blink fast, you might genuinely mistake Michael Consuelos for his dad, Mark Consuelos. And while both his parents (mom is Kelly Ripa, of course) have flourished in front of the camera, Michael has dabbled behind the scenes as well. Not only has he appeared in Riverdale and Let's Get Physical he also served as a production assistant on three episodes of The Goldbergs.

Angelina Jolie's daughters Vivienne and Shiloh look so much like her, the two sisters can pass for twins. Vivienne, who is a twin to brother Knox, has already shown some interest in going into showbiz. The 16-year-old recently worked alongside her famous mom as a producer assistant for The Outsiders.

And while 18-year-old Shiloh lent her voice to Kung Fu 3 back in 2016, she hasn't ventured much into the family business — though she has proven to be one heck of a dancer.

It's the bright smile, bouncy blonde tresses and heart-shaped face that have us doing a double-take every time we see Ava Phillippe, who is a clear doppelgänger for mom Reese Witherspoon.

When your mom is Cindy Crawford and you look just like her, it's only natural you go into modeling — and Kaia Gerber has taken that torch and run with it.

When the 23-year-old is not digging into the archives and recreating her mom's iconic looks, she's busy walking the runway for fashion houses such as Valentino, Prada, Alexander McQueen, just to name a few.

The eyebrows alone could be a dead giveaway as to who Dan Levy's dad is. However, the 41-year-old actor and writer has never made us guess, as he has always been fully open about being Eugene Levy's son.

Dan and Eugene famously worked together playing a father and son on Schitt's Creek for six seasons; they have starred in commercials together; and most recently, the look-alike duo hosted the Primetime Emmys together this past September.

While it can be argued that Victoria and David Beckham's four children look like both of them, we think 19-year-old Cruz Beckham is a dead ringer for his stylish mother.

And the young lad doesn't just take after his mom in looks and style, but he is also musically gifted, just like his Spice Girl mum. His Instagram page features posts of Cruz singing, playing guitar and recording in the studio.

Margaret Qualley may have just played a younger version of Demi Moore in The Substance, but in real life, she is the younger version of her mother, Andie MacDowell.

And they've taken their genes to the screen, as well: The two played mother and daughter in Netflix's Maid.

Tracee Ellis Ross may not have pursued music, but there is no mistaking her as Diana Ross' daughter with their vibrant smiles, gorgeous hair and innate sense ofs tyle. And though Tracee has created her own identity as a superstar on the small screen, she embraces her A-list lineage, sharing stories from her childhood or paying homage.

Lila Moss' features make her a sure fit for the high fashion world, and she has her mom Kate Moss to thank.

While Kate Moss didn't want her daughter going into the fashion industry when she was still young, the runway legend eventually came around and the pair even fronted a Fendi campaign together — and walked the Victoria's Secret runway together! — earlier this year.

Clint Eastwood made his name starring in westerns back in the day and he has passed on the leading man gene (and that thousand-yard squint) to his son Scott. At 38 years old, Scott has taken on roles in films such as Diablo, The Longest Ride, Overdrive, Pacific Rim: Uprising and more.

Scott has also made appearances in Flags of Our Fathers, Gran Torino, Invictus and Trouble with the Curve, all of which either starred or were directed by his dad.

One look at 19-year-old Nico Parker and it's hard not to think of a teenage Thandiwe Newton in Flirting. And even when she is working the carpet solo, Parker's high cheekbones, luscious curly hair and effortlessly gentle smile makes her Thandiwe's equally beautiful doppelgänger.
