No, you're not seeing things double! Many of your favorite celebrities have such striking resemblances to their famous parents that it's tough to dispute that they share DNA.

They were fortunate enough to inherit some of their parents' exquisite genes. They are just as attractive and charming as their parents.

We've compiled a list of 18 parents and children who demonstrate that the apple doesn't always fall far from the tree. The likeness is startling!

Because the resemblance is so evident, sometimes all it takes is one glance to recognize that two people you're looking at are parents and children. Would we be able to identify the difference between parents' younger selves and their offspring if they are so similar now?

Some celebrities have children who seem very identical to them as youngsters, and it's intriguing to observe what genetic markers their offspring have inherited from their parents' appearance. We believe that most of us are born with a distinct personality.

Not everyone is destined to be famous singers, actresses, athletes, or even reality TV show stars. These movie stars and famous people were just ordinary kids who dreamed of performing on the great stage one day.

Some of these children are even more famous that their parents. Take a look at what we've prepared for you.

The question is, did the kids of famous people become famous because of their genes, or simply because they had influential parents to push them? Of course, we are not talking about some initial start, but support throughout their career.

We guess it has to be their talent because, let’s face it, no matter how much your parents try to help you, if you don’t have that X-factor, you won’t make it.
