23 TV Kids Who Look So Similar To Their Fictional Parents They Could Be Related IRL
We asked the BuzzFeed Community which TV kids and parents look so alike, they could be related IRL. Here's what they said:
1.Olivia (Carla Gugino) and Theo Crain (Kate Siegel) from The Haunting of Hill House
"They look so much alike, it’s scary."
2.Pops (Laurence Fishburne) and Dre Johnson (Anthony Anderson) from Black-ish
"You would swear they were actually related."
3.Fred (Fred Willard) and Phil Dunphy (Ty Burrell) from Modern Family
4.Don (Jon Hamm), Betty (January Jones), and Sally Draper (Kiernan Shipka) from Mad Men
"The casting director for Mad Men hit the jackpot with Kiernan Shipka. How they managed to find a 6-year-old who could not only act but genuinely looked like the offspring of Jon Hamm and January Jones was some kind of miracle."
5.Hayley Marshall (Phoebe Tonkin) and Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) from The Originals
"They actually look like mother and daughter, it's wild."
6.Sasha (Lindsey Price) and Izzie Taylor (Fivel Stewart) from Atypical
"While watching Atypical, I kept thinking Izzie looked like Lindsey Price, then, low and behold, we're introduced to Lindsey Price as her mother in the show. I really thought they were related somehow, but nope."
7.Gavin Schmidt (Peter Gallagher) and Schmidt (Max Greenfield) from New Girl
"When I first watched New Girl and they introduced Schmidt’s dad, I genuinely believed that the two were related because Max Greenfield and Peter Gallagher look so much alike. Max Greenfield had even played a younger version of Peter Gallagher’s character on The O.C. back in 2007."
