Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community which Gen Z actors would be perfect to play the younger version of an older celeb. The answers were surprising but accurate.
Here are 17 Gen Z celebs people say look exactly like an older star:
1. Finn Wolfhard and Adam Driver.
"They look very similar to me, and I could see them as father and son in a movie."
2. Iain Armitage and Nicholas Hoult.
3. Lili Reinhart and Brittany Murphy.
"Especially when Lili's hair is curly. ❤️"
4. Maisie Williams and Olivia Ross.
5. Gaten Matarazzo and Adam Devine.
"The first time I saw Gaten on Stranger Things, I googled if they were related. They have a really similar goofiness about them, but also their expressions and eyes are kind of uncanny."
6. Madeleine Arthur and Portia Doubleday.
7. Jabari Banks (who plays Will on Bel-Air) and Will Smith (the star of the original The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air).
8. Dylan Sprayberry and Kevin Zegers.
"I literally messaged The Rookie: Feds on Instagram to get them to play siblings. I will die on this hill."
9. Odeya Rush and Mila Kunis.
"I want Odeya Rush to play Mila Kunis's daughter or younger self sooo badly. Hollywood, make it happen, because I said so."
10. Katie Douglas and Kate Moss.
"Abby from Ginny & Georgia looks like a young copy of Kate Moss."
11. Julia Butters and Brooke Shields.
12. Holly Taylor and Sutton Foster.
13. Millie Bobby Brown and Audrey Hepburn.
"Depending on how they highlight and contour her cheeks and jawline."
14. Millie Bobby Brown and Natalie Portman.
"Especially, Millie as Eleven from Stranger Things."
15. Millie Bobby Brown and Larisa Oleynik.
"She looks just like Larisa Oleynik from The Secret World of Alex Mack and 10 Things I Hate About You."
16. Millie Bobbie Brown and Elizabeth Perkins.
"She is clearly a young Elizabeth Perkins. Hands down, they must be related in real life.
17. And finally, Kiernan Shipka and Elizabeth Perkins.
"Oddly, while I agree that Millie bears a striking resemblance to Elizabeth as Elizabeth looks now, I feel Kiernan Shipka more closely resembles her in her younger days. They both have the same strong eyebrows."
Which of these lookalikes do you agree with the most? Did we miss a Gen Z celeb you think looks exactly like an older star? Share your answers in the comments!
