Robert Irwin
The son of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, 17-year-old Robert not only looks like a splitting image of his father, he has all of his charisma and showmanship. In these photos — taken a decade apart — he’s with his older sister Bindi, who is becoming a celebrity in her own right.
Bindi Irwin
Perhaps it comes as no surprise that Steve Irwin’s daughter was named after his favorite female crocodile at the Australia Zoo. She first gained attention after giving the eulogy at her father’s funeral at the age of 8. She went on to win the US version of Dancing With the Stars in 2015 and is currently a judge on the Australian version. In the first picture, Bindi’s mother Terri is pregnant with Robert. Bindi recreates the photo with her husband Chandler. She gave birth to daughter Grace in March 2021.
Will Smith
When the decision was made to create Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for Will Smith, the producers were taking a gamble. After all, while Smith was having success as a rapper, he had never acted in anything. But it paid off and today he’s one of the biggest Hollywood stars on the planet. The first photo is a screen shot of the opening credits to the sitcom while the recreation was done with Ellen DeGeneres.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
While Johnson is the most bankable wrestler-turned-actor of all time, he got off to a bumpy start in the WWE (then known as the World Wrestling Federation). Although he was heavily pushed as the next big star under the Rocky Maivia moniker, fans were not impressed. But once he took on the cocky, bad guy persona, he became the legend he is today.
Busy Phillips
The talented actress who currently stars on the Peacock streaming service original Girls5eva is photographed with her daughter Birdie, who she had with husband and screenwriter Marc Silverstein, as a toddler and again at the age of 12.
Janet Jackson and Keshia Knight Pulliam
In the first photo, Jackson, who is starting to break out as a pop star at that point, is photographed with Knight Pulliam, the youngest daughter on The Cosby Show. They got together again in 2019 for the second picture. The actress has stated that if a biopic of Janet is ever made, she intends to portray the singer.
