The acting industry, probably more than any other business, is famous for having children following in the footsteps of their acting parents. There are several examples of this in the United States, England, France, and just about any other country. We couldn’t even begin to imagine the sort of pressure that a child would be under if they chose to be an actor like one of their parents.
To have a little fun, we’ve put together a list of celebrity dads and their lookalike sons! Sit back, relax, and get ready to learn of some father-and-son duos you may not be familiar with.
Alain Delon and Alain-Fabien Delon
If you are around your parents enough, there is a good chance that you will pick up some of their interests. This is the case for Alain Delon, and his son, Alain-Fabien Delon. The elder Delon was known for his work in French films in the 1960s where he was known as a s*x symbol. His son not only took up acting but put his good looks to use and also did some modeling.
It would be cool to follow your family into the acting business. We’re sure that Alain Delon wishes that he could have the opportunity to act alongside his son in a film.
John Lennon and Sean Lennon
Being the child of one of the world’s most famous musicians can’t be easy. But Sean Lennon, son of the late John Lennon, seems to be alright with it. Not only was his father famous, but his mother, Yoko Ono, was a great musician in her own right. That’s a lot of pressure! But Sean has made his own music and has also featured in his mother’s music. That’s one musical family!
Honestly, it would be strange if the kids of stars didn’t do anything related to their parents’ work. You almost expect to hear that they have picked up where their parents left off.
Don Johnson and Jesse Johnson
Miami Vice was a huge show in the 80s, and no one was more popular than Don Johnson. Not only is he an actor, but he’s also a director, producer, and singer. His son, Jesse Johnson, followed in his father’s footsteps and has started an acting career of his own. His father must be very proud! It has to be nice to get tips from someone who has had such a long career.
We can’t even begin to imagine the sort of pride a parent must feel when they hear that their child wants to do something close to what they did. We’re sure there were tears.
Eugene Levy and Dan Levy
Eugene Levy has had an amazing acting career The Canadian comedian started in the 70s and is still acting today. That’s an incredible achievement. He’s even had the opportunity to act in a show with his son, Dan. The show, Schitt’s Creek¸ is loved by so many, and part of the reason is because of the relationship between the characters. We’re sure that this was a dream come true for both of them.
We’re not sure Eugene and Dan imagined Schitt’s Creek would turn out to be the hit that it was, but we have to assume that they’re pretty happy that it did.
