Even though they tend to preserve them as much as possible from the flashlights and we generally don't see them in tabloids, famous people have families like the rest of us.
And genes are working the same way for them, too! Take Shiloh Jolie-Pitt after her transition - you won't believe the uncanny resemblance to her father Brad. Shiloh looks like a female version of her father and looks more mature with her long hair. Here are celebrity kids who look exactly like their parents and family members.

Jerry Stiller and Ben Stiller
Maybe one of the reasons why Stiller succeeded as an actor is because he was born to famous parents - Anne Meara and Jerry Stiller. And, after looking at Ben and Jerry’s photos, you can truly notice the resemblance. Jerry Stiller is known for playing Frank Constanza in "Seinfeld," and Anne’s most popular role is that of Veronica Rooney in "Archie Bunker’s Place."
Vanessa Paradis and Lily-Rose Melody Depp
The name Vanessa Paradis may not ring a bell straight away, but Lily-Rose Melody Depp sure does. She is Johnny Depp’s eldest daughter. Even though she does resemble her father, she actually takes after her mother. Just take a look at them!
Heidi Klum and Helene Klum
Heidi Klum is truly a superwoman. She has an incredibly successful career and works as a businesswoman, fashion designer, singer, actress, producer, supermodel, author, and even a TV star. Klum has been married three times, and she is a proud mother of four children.
Dating a racing manager resulted in Klum giving birth to a lovely girl called Helene “Leni” Klum. Heidi stated that she gives all her children the freedom to be themselves and choose their own path. It seems that Leni inherited her mother's beauty, even though she's not a copy of Heidi. She does resemble her mother in her love for the arts and dance
Mick Jagger and Georgia May Jagger
Even though Mick Jagger’s days of performing and partying are gone, he still does indulge in luxury living. And, his daughter, the gorgeous Georgia Jagger, makes his life better and more fun. Georgia may not have inherited her dad’s musical talent (although we’re not 100% sure of that), but she already has a successful career. Georgia decided to take up modeling, and we don’t doubt that many great things are awaiting her.
Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie
It's true that Jon Voight and his daughter, Angelina Jolie, aren't exactly similar. But take a closer look and you will definitely notice some family resemblance, something in the cheekbones and talent maybe? Jon Voight is a profoundly talented actor, and so many people have enjoyed watching the movies he starred in. So the most important thing he passed on to Angelina wasn't her good looks, but her acting skills and talent.
Lisa Bonet and Zoe Kravitz
Lisa Bonet is an American actress and activist. She is probably best known for playing Denise Huxtable in The Cosby Show. However, some people also know her from her marriage to Lenny Kravitz and Jason Momoa. Lisa sure did appear on the small screen but also on the silver screen as well. She gave birth to her daughter, Zoe Kravitz, while she was still married to Lenny.
Zoe was lucky enough to inherit the best of both worlds from her parents. She got her father’s musical talents and her mother’s acting skills and looks. The first movie Zoe appeared in is No Reservations. Later on, she starred in popular blockbusters such as Divergent and Mad Max.
Ron Howard and Bryce Dallas Howard
Ron Howard entered the entertainment industry when he was just a child. Besides acting in popular movies, he also tried himself out in the field of filmmaking.

Julia Roberts and Emma Roberts
Saying who Julia Roberts is and what she does for a living is really unnecessary. However, it is worth pointing out that she has been an icon in Hollywood for about four decades. Roberts rose to fame after she appeared in the 1990 movie Pretty Woman. And the movie was so successful that it made $464 million worldwide. And, her younger fans recognize her mostly from the movie Eat, Pray, Love.
Julia Roberts has children of her own, but it is her niece, Emma Roberts, that also chose acting as a profession. Funny enough, despite just being her niece, Emma quite resembles Julia. Emma even talked about her resemblance to her aunt, jokingly attributing their likeness to the fact that they both "have a lot of teeth."
Emma showed her love and affinity towards acting when she was just a young girl. One of the first roles she scored was in TV shows such as Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous. These roles enabled Emma to score bigger ones and start appearing on the big screen. We have no doubt that this young lady will be as successful as her aunt.

Brian Williams and Alison Williams
When times were tough, and people were confused, they would seek comfort and reassurance in Brian Williams’ coverage on the NBC network.

Alison Williams is also a singer and songwriter. Her most famous role is the character of Marnie Michaels on the show Girls. The two have some resemblance, but we think you can see the father-daughter tie most strongly in their smiles.
