Reece Witherspoon’s daughter looks near identical to her and people can’t get over it

The apple doesn’t far from the tree.

Reese Witherspoon was joined by her daughter Ava at a recent premiere for her upcoming movie, A Wrinkle in Time, and people couldn’t get over how similar the two looked. As in, people were genuinely surprised a mother and a daughter looked so alike. Incredible, I know.

In fairness, the reaction is partly due to Reese Witherspoon apparently not ageing at all over the last 20 years, perhaps due to being a vampire, or also perhaps due to a healthy lifestyle and plenty of yoga. Gun to my head, I’m going vampire.

Despite the uproar – and it was an uproar – about the two looking so similar, Reese herself has admitted that she can’t see it. Whilst she was appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in September, the host held up a picture of the pair and said: “She looks just like you. I know everybody keeps saying it.”

Quite a statement. YOUR DAUGHTER LOOKS LIKE YOU, WITHERSPOON. DEAL WITH IT YEAH.

However, the actress simply responded: “Really? She and I are always like: ‘We don’t see it!'” Crazy, crazy stuff.

Will the world keep on turning? Find out next week on “Family members that look like each other”. See you then. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this good tweet.
