If your grandparents are particularly glamorous (like mine), then it can be high praise to hear you share a striking resemblance two generations back. For these stars, their grandparentsâ good looks have often passed to their parents and all the way down the decades to the latest celebrity generation.
Read on to find out which silver screen icon Drew Barrymore resembles and the strong genetics at play in the Presley family.
Blythe and Apple both bear a striking resemblance to Gwyneth Paltrow
Blythe Danner & Apple Martin
Gwyneth Paltrow, is that you? Either her actress mother Blythe Danner or model daughter Apple Martin could easily be mistaken for the â90s icon.Â
It seems to be a family of lookalikes, with a shot of all three likely forcing fans into an unwitting game of spot the difference. Three generations of blonde bombshells, we salute you!
Weâd love to see Drew rock a wide brim hat for the summer
Dolores Costello & Drew Barrymore
We didnât think anyone could equal Drew Barrymoreâs doe-eyed glamour but it seems grandmother Dolores Costello was peeking out from oversized bonnets before she was born.
Itâs clear Drew feels a close connection to her lookalike grandmother, commenting on a compilation of photos featuring Dolores: âYou brought me my grandmother!!! I have tears streaming down my face as I write this!! Thank you. I needed this tonight!!!! Ps. Isnât she so neat?! Thank you đ.â
Like his grandfather, Pablo sports a head of curls and ears full of music
Bob Dylan & Pablo Dylan
Pablo Dylan has reconnected with his roots, shifting track from a hip-hop career to folk-rock. With that same head of curls and a shared talent for folky tunes, weâre excited to see how Pablo carries on his grandfatherâs intimidating legacy.
It seems music has always been a family affair, a young Pablo told AllHipHop (in an interview widely syndicated by Rolling Stone): âMy grandfather, I consider him the Jay-Z of his time. I love him to death.â
Riley is the spitting image of grandmother Priscilla Presley
Priscilla Presley & Riley Keough
Riley Keough showed off her grandfather Elvisâ singing skills in Daisy Jones and the Six â yes, the Elvis â but has seemingly inherited her grandmotherâs glam good looks.
The pair are keeping close, despite a bout of disputes over Lisa Marie Presleyâs will, and Riley couldnât be prouder of her nanâs hard work. She told Vanity Fair, âSheâs a beautiful woman, and she was a huge part of creating my grandfatherâs legacy and Graceland. Itâs very important to her.â
Ethan Peck is the spitting image of his grandfather Gregory
Gregory Peck & Ethan Peck
Ethan Peck and his grandfather Gregory Peck share an enviably chiseled jaw and dark wavy hair that is just as swoon worthy today as it was in Gregoryâs heyday.Â
But even Ethan canât comprehend the heights of his grandfatherâs fame. He told the New York Post, âWe share the name. But it feels like my own. He was Grandpa â and also an icon.â
Elvis Presley passed on his star looks to his grandchildren
Elvis Presley & Benjamin Keough
Lisa Marie Presley welcomed a lookalike of her famous father in son Benjamin Keough. The resemblance wasnât lost on her, and she called their similar looks âuncannyâ.Â
She told CMTÂ in 2012: âSometimes I am overwhelmed when I look at himâ. Benjamin sadly died in 2020 at the age of 27.
