Celebrity children often find themselves under the spotlight, not necessarily for their personal achievements, but also for their striking resemblances to their famous parents. It’s intriguing to observe the role of genetics within these high-profile families, with some offspring appearing as the mirror image of their superstar parents.
They sometimes inherit not just their physical attributes, but also their mannerisms and occasionally, their career trajectories. Meet five celebrity children making waves on social media due to their striking looks. One is considered the female version of Tom Cruise and another is viewed as the young twin of Pierce Brosnan.
There’s also a young man who looks exactly like Michael Jackson did at 21, a woman who is the spitting image of Anna Nicole Smith, and another who is seen as the female version of Brad Pitt.

This sparked a friendly debate among fans, with some seeing more of Katie in Suri, while others were convinced she was Tom’s “clone.”
One fan commented, “It really is ‘like mama, like daughter’ here,” and another agreed, saying, “Looks like her mom when she was younger.” Another fan suggested that she looked like a combination of both her parents, calling her a “Cruise/Holmes clone.”
