The 50-year-old movie star shared the snap on Sunday alongside the caption: “My girl in the garden.”

It’s not the first time a celebrity has prompted jaws to plummet with their near-identical offspring.

Reese Witherspoon’s daughter Ava bears a striking likeness to her famous mum, as thousands of fans remarked when the pair uploaded a wild side by side snap.

Similarly, Liz Hurley and son Damian are virtually doppelgangers, as people couldn’t help but comment on when the 18-year-old made his modelling debut in a makeup campaign for celebrity artist Pat McGrath’s brand, Pat McGrath Labs.
