Sometimes, you may come across a kid in a magazine or on TV that reminds you of a Hollywood star. In all likelihood, they could be related in some way! Hollywood has countless numbers of stars with kids who resemble them uncannily. But here, we look one generation further —grandparents and grandkids! It may seem unusual, but DNA can be rather dominant and can show through down several generations. Just take a look at this list of celebs and their grandkids to see exactly what we mean. Some grandkids even pursued the same career in Hollywood! What better recipe for success is there than natural talent and resembling an existing Hollywood star?

Brendan Wayne - Grandson of John Wayne

Charlotte Casiraghi - Granddaughter of Grace Kelly

If you know anything about the ‘50s, you definitely know Grace Kelly! She was a Hollywood bigshot at the time and even became royalty by getting hitched to Prince Rainier III of Monaco in 1956. A Royal Hollywood star indeed! Her granddaughter is the lovely Charlotte Casiraghi, who inherited her timeless beauty and is putting it to good use! In 2011, Charlotte became a Vogue Paris cover girl. She has more experience in being a model. She is also a mother to a beautiful child she gave birth to in 2013 with the comedian Gad Elmaleh.

Laela Wilding - Granddaughter Of Elizabeth Taylor

When Elizabeth Taylor passed away in 2011, the world lost a great talent, however, her legacy now lives on with her 10 grandchildren. During her marriage to Michael Wilding, they had two children, which brings us to Laela, her granddaughter. Growing up, Laela had a great relationship with Elizabeth and she remembers her fondly. She is a graphic designer, married, and also has children, making Elizabeth a great grandmother. Laela has also occasionally worked with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation that was founded by her grandmother herself, with whom they share the vision of helping those afflicted by the condition.

Clark Gable III - Grandson of Clark Gable

Clark Gable III is the grandson of one of the greatest names in Hollywood history – Clark Gable. Clark Gable had earned the title ‘King of Hollywood’ and he played lead actor in about 60 motion films, until his last, The Misfits. He suffered an untimely death, but his legacy lives on in the form of Clark Gable III, who tried to establish a career in the entertainment industry by hosting Cheaters. However, he hasn’t worked a role of significance yet, but we’re waiting! Such genes could not go to waste for sure!

Casey LaLonde - Grandson Of Joan Crawford

Joan Crawford was an American film and TV actress that achieved national fame in the ‘30s. She usually portrayed a hard-working woman finding love and success, a plot that was widely popular amongst the Depression-era audience. After the release of the 1981 Mommie Dearest movie, which was basically based on how Crawford was a terrible mother, her name would become forever tainted by scandal.  Now, over 40 years after Crawford’s death, the TV show Feud is helping to clean the actress’ name by exploring her rivalry with Bette Davis. Casey LaLonde, the grandson of the late film star, has declared that he's enjoying this new depiction of his grandmother. 

Theodore Howard Gabel - Grandson of Ron Howard

You may not recognize him from a picture of him so early in his youth, but that is, in fact, the renowned filmmaker and actor Ron Howard. He is best recognized for his roles in The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days, and The Music Man. Ron fathered the dazzling actress, Bryce Dallas Howard, who is the mother of this charming young man pictured—Theo Howard Gabel. Theo sure resembles Ron when you look closely at these snaps. No DNA test necessary here, yet we hope that apart from the appearance he has inherited his talents, too!

Steven R. McQueen - Grandson of Steve McQueen

If you’ve watched either The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, or The Sand Pebbles, you’re familiar with the warm welcoming face of the talented actor, Steve McQueen. His grandson has managed to put together an impressive acting portfolio that his granddad would be proud of for sure! Steven R. McQueen first tasted fame after he was cast in The Vampire Diaries, playing the character Jeremy Gilbert. He’s acted in Everwood and Chicago Fire as well and he has reprised his role as Jeremy Gilbert in Legacies back in 2018.

Dakota Johnson - Granddaughter of Tippi Hedren

Tippi Hedren's beauty genes are a force to reckon with! She passed them on to her daughter, Melanie Griffith, and now we see it plain and clear that that DNA is strong in Dakota Johnson as well! All three of these beautiful women are well and with us today, and boy, are we fortunate! The baton has been passed down to Dakota, who has satisfactorily proven she has inherited the talent too, by the account of her performance in the Fifty Shades trilogy! With the success of her films, we expect her savings account to grow over the next several years!

Tuki Brando - Grandson of Marlon Brando

Tuki Brando almost looks like Marlon Brando just with longer hair! It sure is amazing how Marlon Brando’s genetics passed through so strongly to his grandson, Tuki, and it sure is plain to see! The legendary actor that his grandpa was is remembered for his performance in The Godfather, On the Waterfront, and in A Streetcar Named Desire. Tuki has not gone to the screens but is in front of the camera nonetheless. He opted for a career in modeling and has done campaigns for the likes of Versace and TechnoMarine.

Ethan Peck - Grandson of Gregory Peck

Gregory Peck found success on the big screens back in the ‘40s. He is recognized for his roles in The Yearling, The Keys of Kingdom and Twelve O’Clock High. His grandson is the dashing Ethan Peck, who resembles him a great deal! Ethan is in the pursuit of a successful Hollywood career as well, and he has been making money acting in 10 Things I Hate About You, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, and Passport to Paris. Gregory was fit and well but passed on at 87 from bronchopneumonia in 2003. If you want to have a taste of Ethan’s latest work you must watch The Holiday Calendar.

Conor Kennedy - Grandson of Robert F. Kennedy

Here, we have Robert F. Kennedy, the brother of former US President John F. Kennedy. Robert F. Kennedy was a politician and a lawyer. He was assassinated in 1968, at the age of 42, by a Palestinian going by the name of Sirhan Sirhan. Conor Kennedy is his grandson. Maybe you have even come across him before because he was linked to Taylor Swift in 2012. Conor studied in Massachusetts’ Deerfield Academy. We hope that we will soon hear great news for young Conor and wish that he has escaped his family’s tragedy.

Oliver Elfman - Grandson of Peter Fonda

We’ve talked about the dazzling Jane Fonda, and now we’re talking about her brother, Peter Fonda. Peter is best known for his acting in Ulee’s Gold and Easy Rider. His daughter is former actress Bridget Fonda, who has a son named Oliver Elfman. He is a spitting image of his grandfather as they share the same eye shape and face shape. Oliver is rather young to have decided just yet what it is he wants to do to earn his money when he grows up. But we hope it will be acting—like his famous relatives!

Dree Hemingway - Granddaughter of Ernest Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway is one of the most notable authors in literary history. The books he is best known for are The Sun Also Rises, The Old Man and the Sea and For Whom The Bell Tolls. His great-granddaughter is Dree Hemingway, who pursued an acting and modeling career. She has acted in the film Starlet and has also done campaigns for Givenchy, Chanel and even Topshop. The talent is there, for sure but Dree has even more reasons to stay in the limelight and that is her gorgeous looks, of course.

Aiden and Jacob - Grandsons of Dave Bautista

Dave Bautista was a force to reckon with in the wrestling arena. His net worth expanded when he ventured into acting. He is now famous for having played the role of ‘Drax the Destroyer’ in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Keilani is his daughter, who was born in 1990 and has two sons who look like mini Dave Bautistas. The boys must be proud of their cool granddad—especially when they get to tag along for Marvel movie premieres! The little ones are a bit too young to decide their career just yet but something tells us their granddad will teach them a thing or two.

Drew Barrymore - Granddaughter of John Barrymore

Drew Barrymore is a name you definitely recognize, as she probably starred in several of your favorite movies (especially if you are into romantic comedies!). She hails from a family full of actors, so you could say that acting is in her blood. She resembles her grandfather, John Barrymore, an actor who was famous in the 1920s. You may not know it, but Drew battled with alcoholism like her grandfather. Thankfully, alcohol rehab set her straight and now she is as fresh as ever! She is currently filming her new movie The Stand-In.

Anjelica Huston - Granddaughter of Walter Huston

Walter Huston is a well-respected name in the show business with a huge legacy of films. The actor rose to fame in the ‘30s and was praised endlessly for his performance in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. He even grabbed an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role. His granddaughter, Anjelica Huston, is also an award-winning actress. She has landed and delivered roles in Enemies: A love story, Prizzi’s Honor and in The Addams Family. Walter died from an aortic aneurysm in 1950 in Beverly Hills in a hotel suite.

Jason Ritter - Grandson of Tex Ritter

Jason Ritter and Tex Ritter sure look like brothers in this side by side picture of them both at the same age (if you take away the black and white color of Tex’s picture). Tex is Jason’s grandfather, but they both look like twins! This just proves that the Ritter genes are sure strong alright. In the ‘30s, Tex Ritter built a successful career in the music industry. However, he passed on in 1974 from a heart attack in Nashville. Jason has taken up acting and has appeared in Another Period, Joan of Arcadia and Kevin (Probably) Saves the World.

Alia Shawkat - Granddaughter of Paul Burke

Paul Burke is best remembered for his impressive acting skills in Twelve O’Clock High. He died from leukemia in 2009, but he left his genes to his granddaughter to continue his legacy. Alia Shawkat became an actress known for her work in Search Party and in Arrested Development. She is attracted to both men and women and her openness regarding her orientation helps bring acceptance of others in her position. She is currently filming her new work, a drama directed by Sophie Hyde, Animals.

North West - Granddaughter of Kris Jenner

Being the matriarch of the family that currently almost monopolizes the limelight does not mean that you do not have time to be a grandparent just like anyone else. Kris Jenner is already pulling pranks on her lovely granddaughter North West and she surely enjoys every moment of her growing up. As she has already admitted, it is so beneficial for her well-being to be living only a few minutes away from her grandchildren as she gets to spend all the time she wants with them! We don’t know what are the plans for North West yet, however it would not surprise us to see her involved even more in the famous reality show of her family.

Bridget Fonda - Granddaughter of Henry Fonda

Henry Fonda is the 1930s actor who made it big both on Broadway as well as on the big screens. You may find his face familiar from his performances in The Ox-Bow Incident, Once Upon a Time in the West and The Grapes of Wrath. His granddaughter is the lovely Bridget Fonda, who decided in the ‘80s that acting was in her blood and went on to deliver her skills in Single White Female and The Godfather Part III. She entered into retirement in the early 2000s, so she was probably one for a low-key, private life!

Zoe Kazan - Granddaughter of Elia Kazan

Elia Kazan is among the most notable and most well established Hollywood stars in the entertainment industry. He is the mastermind behind several noteworthy movies like A Streetcar Named Desire and East of Eden. Kazan was well talked about in his day, mostly because of the controversial issues he dared to tackle in his films. His granddaughter is Zoe Kazan, and she is very active in the entertainment field as well. She’s generated her earnings through acting in films like The Big Sick and What If, since the 2000s.

Chris Pine - Grandson of Anne Gwynne

Chris Pine is the actor in Star Trek, who is easily recognized now thanks to his role. His grandmother is the popular pin-up girl of the ‘40s, Anne Gwynne, who unfortunately died in 2003 from a stroke. Pine’s net worth has been on the rise through the past couple of years as his acting skills have increased in demand. He sure is easy on the eyes - we know we could certainly watch a whole lot more of him in films in the next years!

Amba Isis Jackson - Granddaughter of Mick Jagger

Amba Isis Jackson’s granddad is the iconic rocker, Mick Jagger, and she resembles him quite a bit. Amba was born to Jade Jagger and has a sister called Assisi Lola Jackson. Amba has Mick’s recognizable pout and large welcoming eyes, but it doesn’t seem like she’s inherited his passion for music. She hasn’t started up a career in music or entertainment at all, but she’s attended a couple red carpet events. At the moment it seems her education is her top priority.

Sean Flynn - Grandson of Errol Flynn

Errol Flynn’s career in acting was at its peak in the ‘30s through the ‘40s. He lived lavishly and, much like the crowd at the time, gave in to toxic habits. He ended up almost filing for bankruptcy, just before he died in 1959. His grandson is Sean Flynn, who is best remembered for his acting in the Nickelodeon TV series called Zoey 101. Since then, he hasn’t found a lucrative role to gain momentum within his career.  

Katie Cassidy - Granddaughter of Jack Cassidy

Katie Cassidy is no stranger! She’s been hitting the screens since the 2000s and she is well known for having acted in Harper’s Island, Melrose Place, and Arrow. It sure seems like the acting bug has been passed on to her through her DNA because Jack Cassidy was her grandfather. The successful actor made it big both in Broadway and on the big screen. He was just 49 years old when he died in 1976 in a tragic fire in his apartment.

Billie Lourd - Granddaughter of Debbie Reynolds

Debbie Reynolds’ acting career spanned over sixty years in Hollywood. But even so, her legend lives on even after her death! The story of her death was so bizarre that it was spoken about across the globe. She died from a stroke in 2016, just one day after her daughter, Carrie Fisher, died from a heart attack. Her granddaughter, Billie Lourd, reminds us of Debbie Reynolds so much—and even more so now that she is building an acting career for herself! You can see her in Scream Queens and American Horror Story: Cult.

Sarah Sutherland - Granddaughter of Donald Sutherland

Donald Sutherland has been acting since the 1960s but younger fans will surely know him for playing President Coriolanus Snow in the Hunger Games movies. Donald is far from retiring because he is reported to be currently filming for a new movie. Sarah Sutherland is his granddaughter who is most known for her role in the show, Veep. Sarah really pursued acting formally because she was able to go to the Tisch School of the Arts of New York University.

Tatia Starkey - Granddaughter of Ringo Starr

Ringo Starr is a hit in the music industry! His name is one with plenty history, as he is recognized for being the drummer in the famous band, The Beatles. His son is Zak Starkey who has a lovely daughter called Tatia Starkey. Tatia is also in pursuit of a successful career in music. However, she has a long, long way to go before she’s anywhere near the net worth of her grandfather!

Jordan Bridges - Grandson of Lloyd Bridges

Lloyd Bridges appeared in over 150 films in his successful acting career. He died in 1998 from natural causes. Jordan Bridges, his grandson, has taken the baton and is trying to establish himself in Hollywood as an actor as well. He has played roles in Conviction, Dawson’s Creek and Rizzoli & Isles. Jordan got his education through Bard College of New York, majoring in theatre. He also studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts.

Jack Schlossberg - Grandson of John F. Kennedy

Jack Schlossberg is the son of Caroline Kennedy, who is actually the daughter of John F. Kennedy himself. Jack has similarities with his grandfather's features—his nose, eyes, and jawline are some. Jack obtained a Japanese History Degree from Yale University in 2015 and currently attends Harvard Law School. It seems he has inherited more than John’s looks alone—he seems to have his brain power as well! We wouldn’t be surprised if Jack ran for office in the future.

Quinn Tivey - Grandson of Elizabeth Taylor

To say that Elizabeth Taylor was a huge name in Hollywood is still an understatement—she was a sensation! She was the talk of the ‘50s throughout the decades after, and she was infamous for her several failed marriages—all seven of them! Boy, she sure made her divorce lawyer wealthy! She had a daughter with Mike Todd named Liza. Liza’s son is Quinn Tivey, who didn’t pursue a career in front of the screens but did work behind the camera. He is also a trustee of the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, where he is rather active.

Riley Keough - Granddaughter of Priscilla Presley

Riley Keough is pictured here with her grandmother, Priscilla Presley. Riley is fortunate to share a resemblance to both her celebrity grandparents. Priscilla and Elvis Presley were married six years before calling it quits. The couple had one daughter named Lisa Marie. She got married to Danny Keough and the couple became parents to two kids. One of them is Riley Keough, a multi-talented young woman who is an actress, producer, as well as a model.

Assisi Lola Jackson - Granddaughter of Mick Jagger

Mick Jagger is famous for being one of The Rolling Stones, and he is among the most successful and most famous rock stars in the music industry. Mick’s daughter, Jade, is the mother of Assisi Lola Jackson. As Mick’s granddaughter, it’s expected that she bears resemblance to him as well! They share several facial features. Lola is now a mom as well, so Mick Jagger is actually a great-grandfather! But this great-grandfather still rocks, and he sure is far from announcing his retirement!

Emma Ferrer - Granddaughter of Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn is a beauty of the ‘50s. She is known for her stunning acting skills and her performances in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Roman Holiday and Wait Until Dark cemented her as a star in Hollywood. Her son is Sean Hepburn Ferrer, who has fathered the lovely Emma Ferrer pictured here. Emma is capitalizing on the beauty she inherited from her grandma as she is a model. The renowned Storm Model Management even signed her in 2014.

Victorie Franklin - Granddaughter of Aretha Franklin

The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, broke hearts with her death from a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor at the age of 74. Grieving fans and family were left in sadness, and one of them was her granddaughter, Victorie Franklin. Pictured here, the eighteen-year-old looks so much like Aretha did! Of course, she inherited Aretha’s talent too, as she has started making a singing career for herself. She has big shoes to fill!

Arabella Churchill - Granddaughter of Winston Churchill

Sir Winston Churchill is considered one of the most popular Prime Ministers of the U.K., primarily as a result of his leading Britain to its victorious outcome following WWII. His legacy has thus trickled through all the generations after him down to his grandchildren, too. Arabella Churchill is his granddaughter, and she too has played a crucial role—she is credited for developing the Glastonbury Festival. She continued contributing to the festival until her death in 2007.

Jenna Bush-Hager - Granddaughter of George H. W. Bush

Jenna Bush Hager is one of the first set of twins to have been born to a U.S. president—she is the daughter of former US President George W. Bush. While it is not an accomplishment, it is still historically noteworthy! The historical act has helped Jenna gain more attention than she would have had she not been one-half of the twin siblings! Jenna has authored books professionally and has made TV appearances as a correspondent, mostly on NBC.

Tony Goldwyn - Grandson of Samuel Goldwyn

Samuel Goldwyn is a famous Hollywood film producer who is considered a pioneer in the film industry. His grandson, Tony Goldwyn, has also entered show business but has opted to be in front of the camera as an actor. He gained a media degree from London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. As many actor’s careers do, his began with guest roles but quickly progressed to some noteworthy roles. In his portfolio, you will find Ghost and The Mechanic.

Princess Charlotte - Granddaughter of Princess Diana

Princess Charlotte is so little yet she probably needs no introduction. This sweet little girl is the daughter of Prince William and Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. Naturally, she is Lady Diana’s granddaughter. In the pictures above, you can most definitely see they are related—in fact, you could barely tell them apart! Charlotte is fourth in line to the throne, and boy, does she have a life of luxury waiting for her! We sure hope she has inherited her grandmother’s generous and heart-warming characteristics in her DNA, too!

Alexa Davalos - Granddaughter of Richard Davalos

Alexa Davalos is best recognized for her work on the popular TV show, The Man in the High Castle. Alexa comes from a family full of artistic talent. Members of her family have contributed to the show business for generations. Her mother was an actress and her grandfather is Richard Davalos, a famous film, stage, and TV actor. However, her career has not gained the momentum we would have expected it to, and it would not come as a surprise if Alexa switched careers! She may have a passion for it but if there’s no money in it, she’s got to get it elsewhere!

Rooney Mara - Granddaughter of Wellington Mara

Rooney Mara hails from a family of wealth and riches. And we know it must be true since she is the granddaughter of Wellington Mara! Wellington was the owner of the phenomenal American football team, New York Giants, for about five decades until he died in 2005. The Girl With a Dragon Tattoo star has established a thriving acting career and even has an Oscar-nominated performance in her portfolio already.

Hutch Dano - Grandson of Royal Dano

Royal Dano left home one day, in the name of traveling, and he was just twelve years old at the time! He pursued an acting career and eventually had the experience of portraying over 200 diverse characters! Boy, does his grandson Hutch Dano have a lot to live up to! Hutch has a net worth of $1.1 million and counting. At just 26, it’s a pretty decent fortune! He recently appeared in Behind the Walls, a horror film.

Max Irons - Grandson of Cyril Cusack

Max Irons has an electric presence! Viewers are very grateful for his good looks, too. And considering the family he is born into, it isn’t a surprise that he’s as dashing as he is! You can certainly see Cyril Cusack’s genetics in play all over Max’s features! Cyril Cusack is a legend who dedicated more than seventy years of is life to superb acting. Max appeared in the TV show, Condor, and also had a film role in The Host. But in the beginning, Max’s earnings came from his work as a barman just till his acting career kicked off. Celebs are human, too!

Charlotte Ritchie - Granddaughter of Richard Burton

Charlotte Ritchie’s piercing eyes are a pair you’ve seen before—in Richard Burton, of course. Burton was one of the highest paid actors on the planet. And while Charlotte sure shares his genes, she doesn’t share the same fortune when it comes to her earnings! If she is worthy of a space among the greatest, she will have to work hard at proving it to the tough film critics in the industry. But we have faith in you, Charlotte!

Zoë Kravitz - Granddaughter of Roxie Roker

Roxie Roker became the first actress to have landed a role in a plot around an interracial relationship, on regular prime time TV that is. It was on the show called The Jeffersons. Roxie is the mother of the iconic and eccentric Lenny Kravitz, who in turn is the father of equally eccentric Zoe Kravitz. She is recognized for her performance in Divergent, Mad Max: Fury Road, and also for her role in the TV show Big Little Lies. Zoe is well on her way to stardom, upholding her legendary parents’ names in the tough entertainment industry.

Rose Fowler - Granddaughter of Marty Wilde

Rose Fowler resembles her grandfather, English singer-songwriter Marty Wilde, quite a bit! Marty has fathered many singers—Roxanne, Ricky, and Kim are all in his clan. His granddaughter sure is artistic, much like him, and it sure looks like she’s about to take the world by storm like her mother, Kim. We’re keeping our eyes peeled for this one! There’s no doubt that her savings account will plump up quite nicely as time passes, what with the talented family she comes from.

Carys Zeta Douglas - Granddaughter of Kirk Douglas

Carys Zeta Douglas is anything but your typical teen. She’s practically third-generation Hollywood royalty! She is fathered by Michael Douglas and her mother is the dazzling Catherine Zeta-Jones, so this girl has talent in her blood indeed! Of course, her grandfather is Kirk Douglas, who has made history in show business. Carys is into acting too and has started out with school productions like Spring Awakening and Tommy. She also has her heart in music and plays the piano pretty well. Whatever she does, she sure doesn’t ever have to worry about bankruptcy!

Oona Chaplin - Granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin found international fame from his humble comedic acts in the 1910s. His career was solid and spanned over seventy years in the entertainment industry. In 1977, he died from a stroke at age 88. His wife was named Oona, and his granddaughter also shares the same name—though she shares her grandfather’s expressive eyes and charming smile! Oona is also in the entertainment industry, but as an actress. You may have watched some of her works already, such as Game of Thrones, Taboo, and Black Mirror. We can’t wait to see what her special DNA has in store for us next!

Viva Vadim - Granddaughter of Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda is an actress who is dear to Hollywood’s heart! This multi-awarded actress sure doesn’t have retirement on her cards just yet! And why would she? She is still gorgeous, alluring, and carries herself with a poise that even young girls could envy! Her daughter, Vanessa Vadim, has a daughter named Viva who resembles Jane Fonda greatly! Let’s hope Viva comes to the party and continues her grandmother’s excellent and engaging work on the screens! Jane is fit as a fiddle, still acting at 81! Catch up with her work at Grace & Frankie!

Arthur Donald - Grandson of Paul McCartney

You know by looking at Arthur Donald's face that his eyes, nose, and lips definitely remind you of somebody, but you can’t quite place it! Well, it’s only because he reminds us so much of his grandfather, Paul McCartney. Looking at them side by side leaves no doubt that they are relatives! However, his resemblance is skin deep because Arthur has not shown interest in a music career, and is concentrating on his studies at Yale University. Now at his 20s, rumor has it that Arthur is dating Ava Philippie.
