It is generally accepted that an apple does not fall far from an apple tree. True, this proverb is usually remembered when it comes to something bad: severe heredity or some not too socially approved qualities. In the editorial office of the site, we decided to look at representatives of famous acting (and not only) dynasties and evaluate how similar the children of the stars are to their parents at the same age.

Tom Hanks and Colin Hanks

Tom Hanks has always been a good guy - both on screen and in life. His son Colin celebrated his 40th birthday in 2017, and although his career does not look as brilliant as his father's, he continues the family business. One of his best roles, according to the editors of iznivsё.rf, is the slightly goofy but very, very good cop Gus Grimley in the first season of Fargo. And Colin Hanks is very similar to dad - the period of filming in "Forrest Gump".

Reese Witherspoon and Ave Elizabeth Philip

Ave Elizabeth Philippe is the daughter of a love marriage. In the 90s, the couple Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philip were considered exemplary. True, the idyll did not last long: his wife's career went uphill (she was even awarded an Oscar for the role of the wife of country musician Johnny Cash in his biopic with Joaquin Phoenix in the title role). The marriage fell apart, but the daughter turned out to be a beauty - my mother's copy.


Cindy Crawford and Kaia Gerber

The daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, Kaia Gerber, made a splash in the world in the year of her debut - many believe that she is not just a one-on-one mother, but her improved copy, so to speak. An Instagram icon and aspiring model, Kaia looks just like her mother in the 90s.


David Beckham and Brooklyn Beckham

The second pair of guys in our selection, but this time not actors (although celebrities). One of the best footballers of our time, David Beckham, first became a father in 1999. It's hard to believe, but in 2017 he and Victoria Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn turned 18. A very big guy - he already has a girlfriend, the famous actress Chloe Grace Moretz.


Vanessa Paradis and Lily-Rose Melody Depp

The daughter of Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp is already a big star herself, though so far only in the fashion world. Lily-Rose Melody Depp's track record is not so great yet, but it is already clear that the girl shows great promise. From her mother, she inherited the ability to behave with dignity (and, of course, external attractiveness), and from her father - an interest in cinema and the absence of embarrassment in front of the cameras.


Melanie Griffith and Dakota Johnson

Dakota Johnson did not even turn 30 when she became famous in the (albeit somewhat dubious) role of the lecherous shy Anastacia Steele from "50 Shades of Gray." Her mother, actress Melanie Griffith, just gave birth to Dakota at this age and she had drug problems and a career failure behind her.


Demi Moore and Rumer Willis

It is believed that the daughter of the beauty Demi Moore and superhero Bruce Willis Rumer was unlucky with her appearance. She, along with two other daughters of the couple, are included in all sorts of anti-ratings of Hollywood ugly women. Rumer Willis followed in the footsteps of her parents and also starred in films - without much, however, success.


Alla Pugacheva and Christina Orbakaite

Among Russian celebrities, Alla Pugacheva and her (now the eldest) daughter Kristina Orbakaite are most often compared. In 2016, Orbakaite celebrated her 45th birthday, she was a mother herself a long time ago. Many people notice that over the years she becomes more and more like Alla Borisovna. The editors of uznayvsё.rf notes that in the mid-90s, Christina played her own mother in one of the best social advertising projects - there she appeared with the popular phrase "Kriska, shut up!"


Vera Alentova and Yulia Menshova

Actress Vera Alentova once married director Vladimir Menshov, devoted a lot of time to her family and, perhaps, therefore, did not make a noticeable career in cinema. However, she was right: the film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears" with Alentova in the title role was awarded no less than the Oscar. Now Alentova is often reproached for abusing

Have you ever wondered what are the reasons for the increase in life expectancy? Modern people have access to the best medical developments and have long rethought their attitude to bad habits or to diet. When a healthy lifestyle is elevated to a cult, it inevitably generates more centenarians. Let's talk about the advantage of modern people over their parents.

More movement

We now know that aging should not be associated with inevitable illness or disability. The main secret to longevity is constant movement. Our parents were too busy with work and pressing problems, at the time of their youth, the fitness craze was not yet in vogue. They were not yet aware of the findings of scientific research that found a correlation between movement and cellular rejuvenation.

A new attitude towards aging

The old adage that “age is just a number in your passport” is more relevant today than ever. Indeed, rethinking your attitude towards the natural aging process can have a positive impact on your health. A study by Yale University researchers showed that the biological age of optimistic seniors is, on average, 23 years younger.

This colossal difference is formed in the minds of modern people. For example, if you think of aging as a crisis and associate it with a decline in energy, you are unconsciously programming yourself for a disastrous outcome. Conversely, if you associate old age with new opportunities and relaxation, you will be happy and healthy.

More plant foods

Over the past few decades, our knowledge of the benefits of organic and vegan diets has expanded. Pinchas Cohen, M.D., identifies two main ingredients for healthy aging: a lifelong diet and exercise. The key to your success is a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, as well as a gradual reduction in the proportion of animal products.

Studies have shown that vegetarians are less likely to suffer from chronic diseases. In comparison with convinced meat-eaters, they step over the 70-year mark more often. In addition to red meat and deli meats, centenarians cut out processed foods containing hydrogenated oils and sugars. Their diet consists of plant-based foods, whole grains, fish, and healthy fats.

Improving Exercise Performance

Practice shows that exercise intensity also matters for your well-being. Modern people have given up on simple walking and jogging. They are focusing more and more on the study of specific exercise patterns that are most beneficial to health. There is still a fierce debate about which is more important: aerobics, yoga, strength training or high-intensity interval training? In fact, each of the listed areas of fitness has its own tangible advantages.

If you want to lose weight, you can use HIIT and aerobic exercise. If you want to train body balance, coordination of movements and develop flexibility - choose yoga. If you want to strengthen your muscles and prevent osteoporosis, choose strength training and jumping. Ideally, experts advise alternating training types or combining them into one complex.

Reducing the number of smokers

The most important health change over the past 20 years has been the decline in the number of people who smoke. Smoking is the main cause of serious medical problems, from heart attacks to certain types of cancer. This persistent habit harms your body at the cellular level and significantly accelerates skin aging.

The good news is that smoking rates are declining, falling from 40 percent to 31 percent of the total adult population between 2009 and 2016. Improvements in statistics were achieved thanks to the adoption of the anti-tobacco law, as well as through the popularization of the principles of a healthy lifestyle.

Human papillomavirus vaccine

The body's ability to avoid disease helps us live healthier lives in old age, and vaccines help develop a protective barrier. For example, the HPV vaccine helps prevent the risk of cervical and other cancers. PhD, a researcher at Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center Elektra Paskett, says preventing cancer is far better than curing once diagnosed.

Greater socialization at retirement age

We now know that social interaction is necessary to maintain our mental health. Maintaining an extensive social circle and regularly participating in social activities can help alleviate the sense of unnecessaryness that often occurs in older people. The more often you meet with friends and family, the more you get out of the house, the more hobbies you have, the less you are at risk of depression.

Two or three decades ago, this serious mental illness was a faithful companion of pensioners who raised children and were left alone with their illnesses. We now know that social connections and a positive attitude can help you live longer, with beneficial effects on cardiovascular performance.

Human genome sequencing

With the completion of the Human Genome Project, doctors can make a major breakthrough in disease diagnosis. Now medicine has a unique opportunity to find out which genes are responsible for certain ailments. Genome sequencing creates tremendous opportunities for the treatment of disease. Doctors will now be able to help people make specific health decisions based on their unique genetic makeup.

Targeted cancer therapy

A better understanding of the mechanisms of genetic mutations that cause cancer has led to new treatments for these diseases. One of them is called targeted cancer therapy. It has a tangible advantage over traditional cancer treatments. Unlike chemotherapy, this method can recognize changes that cancer cells cause in the body.

Means of targeted (from the English target - "target") therapy recognize diseased cells and ignore healthy ones. It is believed that older people are most susceptible to the side effects of regular chemotherapy, so the new method is intended to alleviate their suffering.

Development of ultrasound diagnostics

While you might think that ultrasound is only needed to screen pregnant women, it is actually used to detect a wide variety of conditions. Ultrasound reveals pathologies of blood vessels, heart, malignant neoplasms, thyroid dysfunction and much more. New generation diagnostic devices make it possible to understand what is happening in your body right now. They are equipped with portable scanners that are connected to a tablet or smartphone, so they provide more accurate results.

Fitness Gadgets

In addition to all the beloved fitness trackers that record the level of intensity of your workout, a number of fundamentally new technologies are currently being developed. More recently, a shirt with heart rate monitoring sensors, headphones that measure body temperature, a glucose sensor for diabetics and even a wearable ECG monitor launched via a mobile application were presented to the public.

In one of our hit materials this year, we have already tried to understand the curious phenomenon of why, at the same age, modern women look much younger than their predecessors, who were born several decades earlier. Then we compared the photos of contemporary celebrities with the shots of their no less famous, but much older "peers". In continuation of this topic, we decided not to go that far and just looked into the family albums of the stars to appreciate the difference between their actual pictures and those of their mothers at the same age as they are now. Errors in a couple of years do not count!

Kim Kardashian (36 years old) and Kris Jenner (61 years old)

Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner have been starring in the same reality show for many years and regularly appear together. However, few people know how the mother of Kanye West's wife looked about 25 years ago, when she was the same age as her middle daughter now. Well, let's rate it!

Alla Pugacheva (67 years old) and Kristina Orbakaite (45 years old)

Every year Alla Pugacheva looks younger and younger. The celebrity, it seems, is already tired of answering journalists' questions about how she succeeds. Christina Orbakaite's youthful appearance can only be envied. When a star comes out with her eldest son, many say that she looks more like his sister than her mother.

Rumer Willis (28 years old) and Demi Moore (54 years old)

As a teenager, Rumer Willis was an ugly duckling, but recently she has literally blossomed. According to many fans, over the years, the girl has become very similar to her mother, Demi Moore, who, by the way, has repeatedly entered the world's most beautiful celebrity lists.

Yulia Menshova (47 years old) and Vera Alentova (74 years old)

Fans are sure that TV presenter Yulia Menshova looks better than most of her peers, despite the fact that she does not visit aesthetists. But her mother Vera Alentova is often accused of abuse of plastic and cosmetic procedures. According to many, it has changed beyond recognition.

Gigi Hadid (21) and Yolanda Foster (52)

Model Gigi Hadid inherited from her mother not only a bright appearance, but also a love for bright camera flashes. It seems to us that now Yolanda looks amazingly fresh and young. Now let's remember what she was about 30 years ago, at the peak of her career.

Ksenia Alferova (42 years old) and her mother Irina (65 years old)

In her numerous interviews, Irina Alferova has repeatedly admitted that in her youth she considered her beauty to be a mere punishment. Most often, directors simply refused to shoot her in films because of the type that was unsuitable for the Soviet era. Even after exchanging her seventh decade, Irina remained beautiful, and her daughter Ksenia took all the best from her.

Catherine Zeta-Jones (47) and Patricia Fair (exact age unknown)

Catherine Zeta-Jones's mother has always been far from the world of cinema and show business. Patricia is a seamstress by profession. Even when her daughter became famous throughout the world, Fair continued to remain in the shadows and almost never went out with her. That is why it was not so easy to find archival footage of Katherine's parent, but we were still able to do it. We invite you to take a look at them too!

Agnia Ditkovskite (28 years old) and Tatiana Lyutaeva (51 years old)

Tatyana Lyutaeva was repeatedly called one of the most attractive Soviet actresses. Her daughter Agnia Ditkovskite, however, is also a recognized beauty.

Gwyneth Patrow (44) and Blythe Danner (73)

Actress Gwyneth Patrow and her mother Blythe Danner come out together quite often. It is worth admitting that now Blythe, who carefully looks after herself, looks great for her age, thanks to which, rather, she resembles her daughter's older sister. Let's see what Danner was about 30 years ago ...

Maria Shukshina (49 years old) and her mother Lydia (78 years old)

Actress Maria Shukshina is strikingly similar to her mother Lydia. By the way, by her own admission, the eldest daughter of a famous Soviet writer and film director, she took an example from her famous parent from early childhood. As a result, she also devoted her life to cinema and raised her children in severity. Let's take a look at the photo of Lydia Fedoseeva-Shukshina, which was taken on the threshold of her 50th birthday, and compare this archive frame with the current image of her daughter Maria.

Dakota Johnson (28 years old) and Melanie Griffith (59 years old)

Dakota Johnson and her mother Melanie Griffith, who has gone under the surgeon's knife more than once in an attempt to preserve her youth, are not very similar today, but let's remember what Melanie looked like when she was 28.

Nicole Kidman (49) and Janelle Kidman (76)

Nicole Kidman is very close to her mother Janelle. You must admit that Nicole Kidman would be even more like her mother if she had not had nose surgery. However, comparing these photos, in which they are both 49 years old, it is safe to say that Nicole looks much younger (albeit less natural). We must pay tribute to her plastic surgeon and cosmetologist.

Sharon Stone (58) & Dorothy Stone (83)

Sharon Stone is often asked: how does she manage to look so great? The actress's secret is simple: "I listen to my mother, who adhered to and still adheres to an iron discipline in taking care of herself." On her 16th birthday, Dorothy gave Sharon a moisturizer and said: "Don't ask too many questions, just do what I say, then you'll be thankful to yourself."

Kate Winslet (41) and Sally Bridges (exact age unknown)

Kate Winslet's mom Sally Bridges was also an actress, but she could not achieve world fame, unlike her daughter. But now she proudly walks with Kate to various awards and looks as elegant as her famous daughter.

Joely Richardson (51) and Vanessa Redgrave (79)

In one of her interviews, actress Vanessa Redgrave admitted that at one time she sacrificed the interests of children for the sake of career development. Her daughter Joely Richardson, although she became an actress, did not repeat her mother's mistakes, devoting herself entirely to her daughter and abandoning the role in the series when Daisy became seriously ill.

Kate Hudson (37) and her mother Goldie Hawn (71)

Actresses Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn spend a lot of time together. The famous mother and daughter not only go out from time to time, but also often go in for sports together. It is worth paying tribute to Goldie: having exchanged her eighties, she looks just fantastically young.

They say that if you want to know how a girl will look at 40, just take a look at her mother. It seems to us that today this principle has little to do with reality. Thanks to the achievements of modern cosmetology and plastic surgery, as well as the improvement of the general standard of living, women successfully cheat the time, staying young and beautiful for much longer. Once again, you can make sure that today the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity do not look at all the same as their mothers looked at exactly the same age, in our new photo gallery.
