Not every child is a clone of their mother or father; they can also resemble a grandparent. It's not unusual for children not to look like their parents.

However, we are peculiar beings, and even though we know that we can't predict whose genes a child will inherit, we mistakenly assume it will primarily be from the parents. This likely stems from a sweet desire, fueled by love, that our child should look like us.

Anyway, if you had met these celebrities' children in person, would you recognize whose children they are? Did you expect them to look exactly like their parents?
