The issue of inheritance is often the source of many disputes among families. Many relatives have become estranged when it comes to the division of assets and estates. However, not everything that is passed across generations is necessarily tricky. In fact, a family resemblance can even strengthen such bonds. While these aesthetic qualities are pretty much expected between parents and children, there is something special when it is passed down another generation further. It’s even better if these physical traits are accompanied by intangible things like talent, personality, and success! Read on to learn more about stars whose grandchildren look just like they did once upon a time. Before we take a look, a word to the wise: some of these comparisons are chillingly accurate!
Quinn Tivey – Elizabeth Taylor’s Grandson
Elizabeth Taylor was one of the biggest stars of the 20th century. Her face is well-known across the globe, especially those striking violet eyes of hers. They were actually the result of a rare genetic mutation that also gave her eyelashes with two rows each! The film star was married a grand total of seven times and while she might have passed away in 2011, her looks live on in the face of her grandson. Quinn Tivey was born to Liza Todd, the only child of Taylor. The young man is listed as one of the trustees of the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
QUINN TIVEY – ELIZABETH TAYLOR’S GRANDSON
Steven R. McQueen – Steve McQueen’s Grandson
Back in the day, Steve McQueen’s ruggedly handsome face and daring demeanor made him the biggest action star Hollywood has ever seen. You probably remember him from movies like The Magnificent Seven and The Great Escape. The actor succumbed to mesothelioma in 1980, a disease that he was believed to have acquired after constant exposure to asbestos during filming. He is the father to two children. His grandson Steven R. McQueen was named after him and the two share both facial features and acting chops.
STEVEN R. MCQUEEN – STEVE MCQUEEN’S GRANDSON
Chris Pine – Anne Gwynne’s Grandson
We’re sure that you are familiar with hottie Chris Pine, but did you know that the Star Trek star comes from a long line of Hollywood actors? Yup, the star was actually born to a pair of actors, while his grandmother was none other than Anne Gwynne. She was a popular pin-up girl as well as horror film star during the time of the Second World War. These two share the same full lips and hooded eyes. Tragically, Gwynne died after suffering a stroke at the age of 84 in 2003.
CHRIS PINE – ANNE GWYNNE’S GRANDSON
Apple Martin – Blythe Danner’s Granddaughter
No one will ever claim that film star Blythe Danner has weak genes. A quick glance at the progenies of The Great Santini and Meet the Parents star will definitely refute it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Just take a look at her famous daughter Gwyneth Paltrow! She has also passed on her signature blonde and doe-eyed beauty to her granddaughter Apple Martin. The dame recently celebrated her 75th birthday but she’s still active in the acting industry. In fact, she has acted in four movies this year and also reprised the character of Will’s mom in the reboot of Will and Grace.
APPLE MARTIN – BLYTHE DANNER’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Ethan Peck – Gregory Peck’s Grandson
Wow! Ethan Peck is nothing short of a dead ringer for his grandfather Gregory Peck. Of course, we’re sure you remember the Hollywood legend who starred in classic films like To Kill a Mockingbird and Roman Holiday. The elderly film star was also quite the philanthropist as is evidenced by the social causes he supported. Meanwhile, the younger man appeared in the TV reiteration of 10 Things I Hate About You as well as the teen flick Passport to Paris opposite the Olsen twins.
ETHAN PECK – GREGORY PECK’S GRANDSON
Rose Kennedy Schlossberg – Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s Granddaughter
Former First Lady of the United States Jackie Kennedy was actually called Jacqueline Bouvier before she got married to John F. Kennedy. The couple was the very epitome of charisma and style back in the day. These days, you would not have a hard time finding references and tributes to the iconic duo. Their granddaughter Rose Kennedy Schlossberg bears a striking resemblance to Jackie. Aside from the physical inheritance, she is also an heiress to the Kennedy wealth. We bet you’re just as jealous of her as we are!
ROSE KENNEDY SCHLOSSBERG – JACQUELINE KENNEDY ONASSIS’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Stella Banderas – Tippihedren’s Granddaughter
When your parents are Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, it’s practically expected that you will end up as gorgeous as Stella Banderas. However, let us not forget about her grandmother Tippi Hedren! After all, the elderly actress was the star of iconic films like The Birds and Marnie. Here’s another interesting fact about her: she was able to win a $1.5 million malpractice settlement back in 2013! The photo below will show you that this granddaughter-grandmother duo shares the same nose and eyes.
STELLA BANDERAS – TIPPI HEDREN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Conor Kennedy –Robert F. Kennedy’s Grandson
We already know that Jackie Kennedy’s looks were inherited by granddaughter Rose, but the other side of the family has strong genes as well! Jackie’s brother-in-law Robert F. Kennedy looks just like his grandson Connor Kennedy. You might remember Connor who came under the spotlight when he began dating Taylor Swift sometime in 2012. These lookalikes did not get to meet each other, however. RFK died after he was shot just hours after winning the Californian Democratic presidential primary back in 1968.
CONOR KENNEDY –ROBERT F. KENNEDY’S GRANDSON
Viva Vadim – Jane Fonda’s Granddaughter
Can you believe that Jane Fonda is actually 80 years old now? Well, maybe you don’t and we can’t really blame you. We have state-of-the-art plastic surgery to thank for that! She has also passed on her genes to her granddaughter Viva Vadim. The young girl was born in 2002 to Paul Waggoner, a musician, and Vanessa Vadim, Jane Fonda’s daughter with Roger Vadim.
VIVA VADIM – JANE FONDA’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Theodore Howard Gabel – Ron Howard’s Grandson
The younger crowd might not recall the TV show The Andy Griffith Show, but we’re sure the members of the older generation do. Actor and director Ron Howard portrayed the role of Opie on the show as well. Howard’s grandchild Theo seems to have inherited his endearingly large ears among other things. The young boy is the firstborn child of Bryce Dallas Howard, one of Ron Howard’s daughters. Here’s something you might not know: she suffered a bad case of post-partum depression after giving birth to Theo.
THEODORE HOWARD GABEL –RON HOWARD’S GRANDSON
Oliver Elfman – Peter Fonda’s Grandson
Aside from Jane, another Fonda made their way to our list. We are, of course, talking about her brother Peter Fonda. He shares his toothy, crooked smile and eyes with his grandchild Oliver. The little boy is the son of Peter’s daughter Bridget Fonda, who appeared in Single White Female. On the other hand, his father is composer Danny Elfman, who is known for his collaborations with Tim Burton. You might even recognize some of his works from films like Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas!
OLIVER ELFMAN – PETER FONDA’S GRANDSON
Dree Hemingway – Ernest Hemingway’s Granddaughter
Ernest Hemingway is one of the biggest literary giants of all time! We’re sure you are familiar with his works like ‘The Old Man and the Sea’ as well as his accolades like the Nobel Prize and the Pulitzer Award. Let us not forget to add passing on his genes to his great-grandchild Dree Hemingway to the list! While Dree does not seem to be as interested in literature as him, she has a name for herself in the fashion industry. She has worked on projects with designer brands like Givenchy and Calvin Klein! The young woman has also done some acting work in the past.
DREE HEMINGWAY – ERNEST HEMINGWAY’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Drew Barrymore – John Barrymore’s Granddaughter
Drew Barrymore was practically born and raised in the spotlight, though it was probably expected as a member of the prominent Barrymore acting clan. She is, in fact, among the last living members of the dynasty. Aside from her acting chops, there is a clear physical resemblance between her and her grandfather. John Barrymore was once the leading man of many films during the ’20s and the ’30s. Sadly, she also inherited the family’s substance abuse tendencies. While her father and grandfather passed away to alcohol-related conditions, Drew was able to overcome the problem after going to rehab at only 14 years old.
DREW BARRYMORE – JOHN BARRYMORE’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Anjelica Huston – Walter Huston’s Granddaughter
Anjelica Huston is an iconic actress who has worked on projects like The Addams Family and The Grifters. Her father is none other than director John Huston and her grandfather is the Academy Award-winning Canadian actor Walter Huston. Don’t you think that Anjelica inherited her pops’ mouth and cheekbones? Sadly, the two did not get to meet each other as Walter died from an aneurysm in 1950, a year before Anjelica was born.
ANJELICA HUSTON – WALTER HUSTON’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Jason Ritter – Tex Ritter’s Grandson
There is no denying the fact that Joan of Arcadia and Parenthood actor Jason Ritter inherited his good looks from his father. However, you might not know that this can be further traced back to his granddad Tex, a country musician and western film actor back in the 30s. Aside from these interesting career choices, he also spent his time and efforts launching a non-profit organization called United Cerebral Palsy.
JASON RITTER – TEX RITTER’S GRANDSON
Arthur Donald – Paul McCartney’s Grandson
Doesn’t this Yale undergraduate student look familiar? If he does, that’s probably because Arthur Donald looks just like his grandfather Paul McCartney as a young man! He is actually the Beatles member’s eldest grandchild through his daughter Mary. While the student debt situation in the United States is a disaster, we bet that the Arthur has zero problems paying the rather high tuition fees at the Ivy League university. After all, his grandfather has a net worth of over $1 billion!
ARTHUR DONALD – PAUL MCCARTNEY’S GRANDSON
Alia Shawkat – Paul Burke’s Granddaughter
Alia Shawkat is best-known for playing the character called Maeby Fünke on the American sitcom Arrested Development. However, not every knows that she is the descendant of the critically-acclaimed actor Paul Burke! Those charming grins apparently run in the family. The actress was apparently close to her grandfather, who starred in movies like The Thomas Crown Affair and Valley of the Dolls. We’re sure she was devastated when he succumbed to leukemia in 2009.
ALIA SHAWKAT – PAUL BURKE’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Bridget Fonda – Henry Fonda’s Granddaughter
What do you know– here are some more members of the Fonda family on our list. Their gene pool is impressively formidable, it seems. Actress Bridget Fonda is a talented actress in her own right and she has been nominated for both the Emmys and the Golden Globes. Physically, her grandfather Henry seems to have passed on his strong jaw line and large eyes to her. If you’re wondering about her relation to the other people on the list, she is actually the daughter of Peter Fonda and a niece of Jane Fonda.
BRIDGET FONDA – HENRY FONDA’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Zoe Kazan – Elia Kazan’s Granddaughter
The Big Sick star Zoe Kazan is yet another descendant of a well-established Hollywood dynasty. Her father is the screenwriter Nicholas Kazan and her grandfather was none other than the acclaimed director Elia Kazan. It’s incredibly easy to see the similarities between the grandfather and granddaughter! Of course, we are talking about the distinctive nose and eyes that they share. However, let’s just hope that Zoe enjoys a successful career without the bad reputation that Elia earned. He participated in the anti-communist witch hunts launched by Senator McCarthy during the 1950s and the general public has never forgiven him for it.
ZOE KAZAN – ELIA KAZAN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Sean Flynn – Errol Flynn’s Grandson
While Errol Flynn might no longer be as famous he used to be, there’s no use denying his influence on the scene back in the day. He used to play many heroic characters back in the 1930’s and the 1940’s. Sadly, he was basically bankrupt at the time of his death. While he had little financial assets to pass onto his progenies, Sean Flynn inherited his grandfather’s good looks. The young man has appeared in the Nickelodeon TV show Zoey 101.
SEAN FLYNN – ERROL FLYNN’S GRANDSON
Charlotte Casiraghi – Grace Kelly’s Granddaughter
While she was active during the 1950’s, it is safe to say that Grace Kelly remains well-loved even until the present. Perhaps this has something to do with her commoner-turned-royalty story as much as her acting skills! She got married to Prince Rainier III of the Mediterranean nation of Monaco in 1956. Charlotte Casiraghi is the daughter of their eldest child Caroline. Charlotte and Grace definitely share the same cheekbones and eyebrows! Of course, Casiraghi is also a member of the Monegasque royal family and she is, in fact, 11th in line for the throne.
CHARLOTTE CASIRAGHI –GRACE KELLY’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Emma Ferrer – Audrey Hepburn’s Granddaughter
Audrey Hepburn’s elegant beauty has made her one of the entertainment industry’s most iconic figures. We’re incredibly jealous that Emma Ferrer was able to inherit some of her grandmother’s lovely facial features! With those genes, it practically comes as no surprise that Emma works as a model. Audrey Hepburn is one of the rare E.G.O.T winners. Unfortunately, the Hollywood legend succumbed to appendix cancer in 1993.
EMMA FERRER – AUDREY HEPBURN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Katie Cassidy – Jack Cassidy’s Granddaughter
Fun fact: Jack Cassidy actually began acting on the Broadway stage before he decided to make the switch to television work in the 1960’s and the 1970’s. The talented actor had bipolar disorder and he died in a tragic fire accident back in 1976. We definitely miss him, but we’re also glad that his beautiful smile and perfect eyes live on in his lovely grandchild Katie Cassidy.
KATIE CASSIDY – JACK CASSIDY’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Billie Lourd – Debbie Reynold’s Granddaughter
You probably heard the tragic news that Debbie Reynolds passed away only one day after the death of her daughter Carrie Fisher. There is, however, much to celebrate about Debbie Reynolds’ career, which is something that has spanned over sixty years. Luckily, her granddaughter Billie Lourd was able to inherit the actress’s charm and good looks. Of course, let us not forget that she also received the fortune and talent that run in their family! The young woman has appeared in projects like American Horror Story: Cult and Scream Queen.
BILLIE LOURD – DEBBIE REYNOLDS’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Sarah Sutherland – Donald Sutherland’s Granddaughter
The young actress is best-known for playing the part of Catherine Meyer on the HBO show Veep. While the character is always depicted to be anxious and nervous, Sarah Sutherland has a lot of reason to be confident. After all, she is the daughter of 24 actor Kiefer Sutherland and the granddaughter of Donald Sutherland of the Invasion of the Body Snatchers fame. Just look at that photo and tell us that she doesn’t look like her granddad, we dare you. We bet you can’t!
SARAH SUTHERLAND – DONALD SUTHERLAND’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Tuki Brando – Marlon Brando’s Grandson
Sure, Tuki Brando is the progeny of the iconic Hollywood actor Marlon Brando, but that does not mean that his path to stardom was smooth-sailing. His mom Cheyenne Brando died at the age of 25 years old when Tuki was only five years old. This was already sad enough on its own, but he suffered another tragedy when his grandfather Marlon Brando left him out of his will so that it could be distributed to friends instead. At the moment, you will find Tuki making a name for himself in the fashion industry. He has modeled and collaborated with designer brands like Versace.
TUKI BRANDO – MARLON BRANDO’S GRANDSON
Amba Isis Jackson – Mick Jagger’s Granddaughter
Amba Jackson is the daughter of Piers Jackson and Jade Jagger, making her the grandchild of the Rolling Stones lead vocalist Mick Jagger. The young woman is currently dating Frankie Lagrange and she has in fact expressed her wishes to marry him when she was just sixteen. Amba actually prefers to keep her personal life private, though we do know that she and Frankie made the decision to move in together recently.
AMBA ISIS JACKSON GRANDDAUGHTER OF MICK JAGGER
Princess Charlotte – Princess Diana’s Granddaughter
Below, you will see how much Princess Charlotte looks like her grandmother Princess Diana! Interestingly, even their hairstyles bear some resemblance. The young royalty was born to Prince William and Kate Middleton, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. There is no denying the fact that Princess Di lives on in her charming little granddaughter. Let’s hope that the shared genes will also make the little princess as kind as her late grandmother! Only time will tell how she and the rest of her royal siblings will turn out.
PRINCESS CHARLOTTE – PRINCESS DIANA’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Riley Keough – Priscilla Presley’s Granddaughter
Danielle Riley Keough is the daughter of Danny Keough and Lisa Marie Presley. It should go without saying that her maternal grandparents are none other than Elvis and Priscilla Presley. The young woman is an actress, model, and producer. It definitely seems like she won the genetic lottery! You can see her in The Girlfriend Experience, Logan Lucky, and Magic Mike. Danielle is definitely a star to keep an eye on.
RILEY KEOUGH – PRISCILLA PRESLEY’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Pablo Dylan – Bob Dylan’s Grandson
When the decade was just starting out, Pablo Dylan started receiving attention as “Bob Dylan’s rapping grandson”. He was only 15 years old when he released a mixtape called ’10 Minutes’. Impressively, he has already collaborated with big artists like ASAP Rocky, Brent Faiyaz, and OG Maco. However, he decided to quit all of a sudden and opted to move into a different genre. He began dabbling in folk rock and this made people compare him to his grandpa. Maybe it has always been in his genes! He has explained that he admires Kanye West and he wants to have a savings account that is even a fraction of the prominent rapper’s.
PABLO DYLAN – BOB DYLAN’S GRANDSON
Edgar Cooper Endicott – Joan River’s Grandson
Joan Rivers is the grandmother of Edgar Cooper Endicott. You might have even seen the young man in the reality TV show alongside her. It was in 1998 that his mother Melissa Rivers and father John Endicott became man and wife in a ceremony that is believed to have cost a whopping $3 million! After five years together, they decided to get a divorce. These days, there have been many speculations about who the young man is dating but he has said that he is single. It’s difficult to keep track of him since he prefers to stay on the down low.
EDGAR COOPER ENDICOTT – JOAN RIVERS’S GRANDSON
Tayla Lynn – Loretta Lynn’s Granddaughter
The Tennessee native Tayla Lynn began her singing career with the help of her grandmother Loretta Lynn. Music had always been a family affair for them and Tayla’s father, Ernie also served as Loretta’s guitarist! Wow, that must have been a lovely environment to grow up in. When Tayla joined Loretta on tour, she had the opportunity to sing with the group Stealing Angels. She was signed by London Tone Music in 2016 but she also dabbled in film and TV work to keep herself afloat. She married Jon Cody Finger and they have two boys together.
TAYLA LYNN – LORETTA LYNN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Princes William And Harry – Queen Elizabeth’s Grandsons
If you don’t know who Prince William and Prince Harry are, we bet you have been living under a rock! After all, these two gentlemen grew up in the spotlight. The brothers are the children of Princess Diana and Prince Charles. Unfortunately, their mother passed away in 1997 and we’re sure that was a difficult period for them. It has been said that Prince Harry took her death harder, but we’re glad that the two of them have since moved on and found the loves of their lives. Prince William is also the father to three lovely kids and considered the second in line for the throne.
PRINCES WILLIAM & HARRY – QUEEN ELIZABETH’S GRANDSONS
Sophie Dahl – Roald Dahl’s Granddaughter
Children and former children all over the world adore Roald Dahl and his story-telling skills. On the other, his grandchild Sophie Dahl is a beautiful model. While she is a size 14 and bigger than the usual models, she nonetheless continues to experience success in the fashion industry. Of course, it must be more difficult for her to land gigs than skinnier models but we hope things will change in the future. Oh, and how can we fail to mention that ‘Sophie’ from The BFG is actually inspired by Roald Dahl’s granddaughter!
SOPHIE DAHL – ROALD DAHL’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Alyson Le Borges – Alain Delon’s Granddaughter
It is easy to see that Alyson Le Borges is a knockout. It’s not really a surprise that she has a well-established acting and modeling career, is it? Perhaps you saw her in the French movie Blue Island. Meanwhile, her grandfather Alain Delon was a well-known ‘pretty boy’. It’s easy to figure out where Alyson inherited her good looks. It seems that she is following her grandpa’s footsteps as she makes waves in the French film industry. Let’s hope that she becomes just as successful as him!
ALYSON LE BORGES – ALAIN DELON’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Mahogany Lox – Berry Gordy Jr.’s Granddaughter
Mahogany Lox is the grandchild of the extremely talented Berry Gordy Jr. Surely, you know the musician who founded Motown in 1959? After all, Gordy helped make Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson into the stars that we love. Mahogany is also in the music industry and she is a social media star as well. She actually garnered millions of fans and followers on platforms like Vine and Youtube! Oh, and let’s not forget the fact that she was fortunate enough to be able to accompany Fifth Harmony on their tour.
MAHOGANY LOX – BERRY GORDY JR.’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Sky Blu – Berry Gordy’s Grandson
Let’s not neglect Berry Gordy’s other grandchild and Mahogany’s brother, Skyler Austen Gordy. Skyler is actually better known as ‘Sky Blue’ and he too is a rising star in the music scene. Wow, how much musical talent could there be in a single family! Sky Blu is in the electronic dance music group LMFAO alongside his uncle Redfoo. They have released hits like ‘Party Rock Anthem’ and ‘Sorry for Party Rocking’. We’re excited to hear more of Sky Blu’s works in the immediate future!
SKY BLU – BERRY GORDY JR.’S GRANDSON
Tony Goldwyn – Samuel Goldwyn’s Grandson
Film big shot Samuel Goldwyn is best known for producing movies together with Paramount Pictures back in the day. This was during the time that it was only a small studio start-up he was running with his brother-in-law. We bet they did not expect the company to become this big! Tony Goldwyn is Samuel’s grandson and he prefers to remain in front of the camera. He has several acting credits for film and television ever since he started his career in the 1990s. One of these projects is Ghost. We bet Samuel Goldwyn would be proud if he were still alive!
TONY GOLDWYN – SAMUEL GOLDWYN’S GRANDSON
Cameron Douglas – Kirk Douglas’s Grandson
Take a look at the photo below and we’re sure you will agree with us when we say that Cameron Douglas is a dead ringer for his grandpa Kirk Douglas. The latter is now 101 years old and it goes without saying that he has an impressive acting resume under his belt. His son Michael Douglas is another terrific actor and they have most recently passed it on to Cameron. While Cameron was able to appear in several films, it seems that his legal problems make it difficult.
CAMERON DOUGLAS – KIRK DOUGLAS’S GRANDSON
Jenna Bush-Hager – George H. W. Bush’s Granddaughter
Jenna Bush Hager is the grandchild of the 41st President of the United States of America. Yes, she and her twin sister were born to none other than George W. Bush. She might be born into a political family, but Jenna is making waves as a reporter, journalist, and teacher. Impressive! She also finished an internship with UNICEF. She definitely appears to be someone who is both hard-working and ambitious. We bet that she learned the importance of these traits from her family!
JENNA BUSH-HAGER – GEORGE H. W. BUSH’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Sarah Sutherland – Donald Sutherland’s Granddaughter

The elder Sutherland first rose to fame when he starred in movies like Animal House, The Dirty Dozen, and M*A*S*H. He is 83 years old at the moment but it doesn’t look like he is planning on retiring anytime soon! He still lands several parts from time to time and for good reason. Maybe you remember him as the antagonist President Snow from The Hunger Games franchise. Sarah, meanwhile, is best-known for playing the First Daughter Catherine Meyer on the political comedy Veep.
SARAH SUTHERLAND – DONALD SUTHERLAND’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Arabella Churchill – Winston Churchill’s Granddaughter
Anyone who has studied history is probably familiar with Winston Churchill, who became the United Kingdom’s Prime Minister after the resignation of Neville Chamberlain. Churchill is recognized for his efforts to end the Second World War in 1945. There’s no denying that the man played an important role in history. With her interest in the arts, Arabella Churchill definitely sounded like a cultured lady. She seemed to have inherited his grandfather’s philanthropic endeavors as well.

ARABELLA CHURCHILL – WINSTON CHURCHILL’S GRANDDAUGHTER

EVER CARRADINE – JOHN CARRADINE’S GRANDDAUGHTER

She received the Oscar for her performance in The Miracle Worker in 1962. The year after that, The Patty Duke Show began airing. Patty continued to work until 2015 and then passed away the following year. Her grandchild Ali is very similar to her in more ways than one.

ALI ASTIN – PATTY DUKE’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Abby Elliott – Bob Elliott’s Granddaughter
Bob Elliott was a successful comedian who made up half of the comedy duo Bob and Ray. Of course, his partner was none other than Ray Goulding. Bob enjoyed a great career guest starring on shows like Get A Life, King of the Hill, and Saturday Night Live. It’s safe to say that he had a great life before his death in 2016. His grandchild Abby Elliott also joined the crew of Saturday Night Live for four years until she decided it was time to move onto other projects. She has since appeared in many films and TV shows. We daresay that their acting gene is pretty formidable.

You can watch her performances in 24, American Horror Story: Murder House, Chappaquiddick, house of Cards, and Murder House. She has been active in the industry since 1999 and we see more success for her in the future!

Jason Patric – Jackie Gleason’s Grandson
Jason Patric is the son of Jason Miller and the grandchild of Jackie Gleason. While he has his deceased grandfather’s walking stick in his possession, he claimed that they were not close. When Gleason passed away in 1987, Jason Patric explained that he did not get the opportunity to get to know his grandfather. Apparently, the elder man had always been a quiet and private person. Patric even went as far as to describe him as occasionally lonely! Regardless, we are sure that Jason is lucky to be part of the family. After all, the decision to hold onto the walking stick must mean something, right?
JASON PATRIC – JACKIE GLEASON’S GRANDSON
James Thierree – Charlie Chaplin’s Grandson
Here’s an interesting tidbit: Charlie Chaplin is the grandfather to over 26 individuals! Yep, that’s a lot. Well, what can we expect when he is the father to eleven kids? Only eight of them are alive and the family has since expanded to its current state. It seems that he and Oona had quite strong genes since their offspring all bear resemblance to the deceased actor. His grandchild James Thierree definitely seems to have inherited his grandpa’s distinctive curly mane and bone structure. Interestingly, he is also a professional circus performer.
JAMES THIERREE – CHARLIE CHAPLIN’S GRANDSON

ZOË KRAVITZ – ROXIE ROKER’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Charlotte Ritchie – Richard Burton’s Granddaughter
The British musician and actress was born to Kate Burton, who is Richard Burton’s daughter. Charlotte Ritchie has appeared on both the big screen and the small screen. The talent extends to her brother Luke Ritchie as well! He is also a musician and songwriter. They even collaborate occasionally. We wonder if Richard Burton’s performances in Shakespearean plays and his low baritone have served as sources of inspiration for them.
CHARLOTTE RITCHIE – RICHARD BURTON’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Max Irons – Cyril Cusack’s Grandson
The gorgeous Max Irons is the son of Jeremy Irons and Sinead Cusack. Of course, this means that his grandfather is none other than Cyril Cusack. Apparently, the young actor’s father was not supportive of his acting ambitions due to his learning disability. Regardless, Max pursued acting and succeeded. He has starred in The Host, Riding Hood, and The Riot Club. He also models from time to time, but did you know that he once worked in a bar to make ends meet?
MAX IRONS – CYRIL CUSACK’S GRANDSON

Hutch Dano is the son of Rick Dano and the grandchild of Royal Dano. He is well-known for his appearance on the Disney show Zeke and Luther. It seems that his net worth is continuously increasing.

Alexa Davalos – Richard Davalos’s Granddaughter
Alexa Davalos has quite the lineage to live up to. After all, she is the daughter of actress Elyssa Davalos and the granddaughter of actor Richard Davalos. She wanted to be independent at age 17 so she moved out. She initially started out as a model before moving onto theater. It was there that her love for acting began. She has appeared in works like Clash of the Titans, The Man in the High Castle, and Mob City. It’s a good thing that the lovely actress has been able to live up to everyone’s expectations!
ALEXA DAVALOS – RICHARD DAVALOS’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Clark Gable III – Clark Gable’s Grandson
It must be tough living under the shadow of your relative, especially when they are as handsome and charismatic as Clark Gable! It’s a good thing that Clark Gable III is just as charming as his beloved grandfather was. He started modeling at five years old if you can believe that! His modeling career is still going strong at the moment and he has actually since worked with Chrome Heart, Disney, and Prada!

Tatia Starkey – Ringo Starr’s Granddaughter
Ringo Starr might not be the most popular member of the Beatles, but we’re sure that his grandchild Tatia Starkey thinks the world of the drummer! Here’s a fun fact: the birth of Tatia actually made Ringo the first Beatle to become a grandfather. Tatia herself gave birth in 2016, effectively making her father the first great-grandfather in the band. Tatia is a musician herself and we’re sure that her grandpa is a huge influence on her work. Do you think her son, Stone, will also inherit those looks and musical talent?
TATIA STARKEY – RINGO STARR’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Jordan Bridges – Lloyd Bridges’s Grandson
Well, will you look at that! Jordan Bridges looks like a replica of his grandfather Lloyd Bridges. These two share more resemblance than Jeff Bridges does to either of them. Only enough, the physical resemblance seems to have skipped a generation. Lloyd Bridges is best known for his work in Western films throughout the 1950’s as well as comedies during the 1980’s and 1990’s. He is also well-known for his dedication to environmental charities until his death in 1998.

John Schlossberg – John F. Kennedy’s Grandson
While John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy had a lot of children and grandchildren together, they were only blessed with a single grandson! We are, of course, talking about Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg’s son Jack. The young man apparently inherited his grandfather’s dedication to civil service as well as his dark good looks. We’ll know that he will go on to do successful things. After all, he has a Harvard Law degree, the distinct Kennedy chin, and the family’s finances at his disposal!
JOHN SCHLOSSBERG – JOHN F. KENNEDY’S GRANDSON
Dakota Johnson – Tippi Hedren’s Granddaughter
Actress Tippi Hedren already has a spot on the list for her resemblance to Stella Banderas, but she also bears great resemblance to her other granddaughter Dakota Johnson.

Dakota is a great actress herself and she made her film debut in the 2015 film called Fifty Shades of Grey.
DAKOTA JOHNSON – TIPPI HEDREN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Oona Chaplin – Charlie Chaplin’s Granddaughter
We have another one of Charlie Chaplin’s progeny on the list! A lot of people have a hard time imagining the comic actor without the costume and the makeup, but he is actually an attractive fellow. His grandchild Oona inherited her grandmother’s name and his good looks. Sadly, the two never met as Charlie Chaplin passed away in 1977 after suffering a stroke at the age of 88.
OONA CHAPLIN – CHARLIE CHAPLIN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Assisi Lola Jackson – Mick Jagger’s Granddaughter
Well, it’s no surprise to hear that Mick Jagger is a grandfather. Assisi Lola is just one of many, but there is no denying that she has the Jagger gene in her DNA. Just take a look at the almond-shaped eyes and pouty lips the two of them share. Lola gave birth to Mick Jagger’s first great-grandchild in 2015. The Rolling Stones’ lead vocalist is still living it up to this day. No elderly care is necessary for this rock star, thank you very much!
ASSISI LOLA JACKSON – MICK JAGGER’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Riley Keough – Elvis Presley’s Granddaughter
Aside from his legendary musical career, Elvis Presley left another legacy. It is undeniable that he passed on his eyes and bone structure to his only child, Lisa Marie Presley. Luckily, these same features live on in actress and model Riley Keough, his grandchild. She has also appeared in movies like Magic Mike and American Honey.
RILEY KEOUGH – ELVIS PRESLEY’S GRANDDAUGHTER

Sarah Sutherland – Donald Sutherland’s Granddaughter
There seems to be something special about the Sutherlands, don’t you think? Maybe it really is in the DNA. We already know that Sarah Sutherland’s grandpa Donald Sutherland is a great talent, but let’s not forget about her dad Kiefer Sutherland himself. The Designated Survivor star became a grandfather himself at the age of 38 years old when his stepdaughter Michelle Kath Sinclair gave birth to a son.
SARAH SUTHERLAND – DONALD SUTHERLAND’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Jackson Riley Santana – Jim Carrey’s Grandson
Jim Carrey must have discovered the fountain of youth because he just doesn’t seem to age! Actually, he was a father at the age of 25 years old and then his daughter became a parent at the young age of 22 years old. When Carrey mentioned that he enjoyed telling his grandchild bedtime stories, it didn’t really come as a surprise.
JIM CARREY – JACKSON RILEY SANTANA
Parker Brett – Brett Favre’s Grandson
We can’t imagine having a grandparent who was still playing in the NFL, but that was the reality for Parker Brett! All of this boils down to Brett Favre’s early parenthood. He was just 19 years old when he had his first child. He was still active in the NFL at age 40. The man is definitely a unique football player AND grandfather!

Bri’asia – NeNeLeakes’ Granddaughter
The show she stars in is called the Real Housewife of Atlanta, but let’s not forget that she is a grandmother as well.

It’s clear that she was delighted about having a granddaughter!
BRI’ASIA – NENE LEAKES’ GRANDDAUGHTER
Troy Wolfsmith – Vicki Gunvalson’s Grandson
It is difficult to determine whether 50 years old is too young, too old, or just right for grandparenthood. Regardless, OC’s Real Housewife Vicki Gunvalson does not look like a grandmother. However, facts show otherwise. We were all happy for her and her family when Briana gave birth to a baby boy called Troy!
TROY WOLFSMITH – VICKI GUNVALSON’S GRANDSON
Luna – Charlie Sheen’s Granddaughter
Did you know that Charlie Sheen himself became a grandparent at the age of 47? Yes, this was the time that his daughter had her first child. While he dotes on his grandchild, he doesn’t take too kindly on the title of grandpa. “Me as a grandfather, Dave . . . I don’t know. It’s like the world’s going to crack in half,” he jokingly said on David Letterman’s show, “It’s fabulous. It’s just not a title I’m ready to adopt.”
LUNA – CHARLIE SHEEN’S GRANDDAUGHTER
Amarah Skye – Whoopi Goldberg’s Granddaughter
Speaking of young grandparents, Whoopi Goldberg herself turned into a grandma at the tender age of 34 years old! Moreover, Whoopi also became a great-grandmother at only 58 years old.

Ava Vieth – Tamra Judge’s Granddaughter
Not one to be left behind, Real Housewife Tamra Judge has also joined the ranks of the grandmothers on the show. While she did not really approve of her son’s decision to have a baby with his partner, she quickly became ecstatic upon the realization that this means she would become a grandmother. “I’m going to be ‘Tam-ma. NeNe has Glam-ma and Vicki has Nana and I’m going to be Tam-ma! I’m so excited!” she once exclaimed in reference to the other housewives.
AVA VIETH – TAMRA JUDGE’S GRANDDAUGHTER

Elijah – Naomi Judd’s Grandson
The country singer Naomi Judd made headlines when she welcomed a daughter into the world at only 18 years old. It seems like her daughter decided to follow in Judd’s footsteps and gave birth to her own child while she was young. Judd was only 48 years old when she became a grandmother. This sounds like material for a country song if you ask us.
ELIJAH – NAOMI JUDD’S GRANDSON
Kids And Kids – Grandchildren Of Jim Bob And Michelle Duggar
Let’s face it: if you have 19 children, it goes without saying that you will have quite a high number of grandchildren! In this day and age, having even a single one before 50 years old is considered impressive. Not for this family, however.
