Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community which Gen Z actors would be perfect to play the younger version of an older celeb. The answers were surprising but accurate.

Here are 17 Gen Z celebs people say look exactly like an older star:

1.Finn Wolfhard and Adam Driver.

"They look very similar to me, and I could see them as father and son in a movie."

5.Gaten Matarazzo and Adam Devine.

"The first time I saw Gaten on Stranger Things, I googled if they were related. They have a really similar goofiness about them, but also their expressions and eyes are kind of uncanny."

16.Millie Bobbie Brown and Elizabeth Perkins.

"She is clearly a young Elizabeth Perkins. Hands down, they must be related in real life.

17.And finally, Kiernan Shipka and Elizabeth Perkins.

"Oddly, while I agree that Millie bears a striking resemblance to Elizabeth as Elizabeth looks now, I feel Kiernan Shipka more closely resembles her in her younger days. They both have the same strong eyebrows."
