1. Jack Quaid: Meg Ryan & Dennis Quaid<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Fans of Jack’s memorable performance in The Boys, on which he began filming at age 27 in 2019, won’t be surprised to learn that all that charm is genetic \u2014 mom Meg is America’s Sweetheart who broke out in 1989 at age 26 with When Harry Met Sally, and dad Dennis, then 24, rose to fame with Breaking Away in 1979.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. John David Washington: Denzel Washington<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The son of Denzel and his actress wife Pauletta earned awards recognition for his first leading film role in 2018’s BlacKkKlansman, when he was 34, scoring nods from the Golden Globes and SAG Awards. Coincidentally, his dad was the same age when he got his first Oscar nomination in 1988, for Cry Freedom. But while John David came to acting late after a career in pro football, his dad began acting at 23 in made-for-TV movies until landing a breakout role at 29 in 1982’s St. Elsewhere.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Emma Roberts: Julia Robert’s Niece<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma Roberts, mostly known from a comedy We’re the Millers is the niece of Julia Roberts. She was born to actor Eric Roberts and Kelly Cunningham on February 10, 1991. Her father, Eric, is Julia Roberts’ older brother.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Nicolas Cage: August Coppola<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As if we needed more proof that Nic Cage is a time-traveling vampire (it’s a real theory people, look it up!!!), here’s a pic of him looking like an actual clone of his father, August Coppola. You know, the brother of Godfather director Francis Ford and uncle of Sofia?!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. Maya Hawke: Uma Thurman & Ethan Hawke<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The actress, who kickstarted her career at age 21 on season 3 of Stranger Things in 2019, had fans debating whether she looks more like her mother (who broke out at age 18 in 1988’s Dangerous Liaisons) or Ethan Hawke (who became an immediate star at age 18 in 1988’s Dead Poets Society).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. Margaret Qualley: Andie MacDowell<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 2019, a then-25-year-old Margaret made a big impact in two acting projects: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (pictured) and Fosse\/Verdon, in which she played Ann Reinking. Her mom, Andie, was 27 when she played the object of Emilio Estevez’s desire in St. Elmo’s Fire. Both started out as models, and both have acted together since \u2014 notably, in Qualley’s star vehicle Maid.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. Lily-Rose Depp: Vanessa Paradis & Johnny Depp<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The actress, just 17 when she landed her first leading role in 2016’s Yoga Hosers, comes from a line of young stars; her mom topped charts at age 14 with 1987’s Joe Le Taxi, and her dad was 24 when he got a main part in 1987’s 21 Jump Street (though plenty of fans had an eye on him from 1984 with his small part in A Nightmare on Elm Street).<\/p>\n
