No doubt about it: Jaden Smith is his famous daddys son.
DNA testing isnt necessary with this Hollywood progeny. The way Jaden Smith cocks his head, peers into the distance and makes wisecracks cooler than theyre written in the script is Will Smith all the way.
The question is whether the 11-year-old star of The Karate Kid can match Dads successful summertime track record at the box office.
Growing up as a movie icons child can be tough, especially if the resemblance is as uncanny as the Smiths. Theyre expected to follow in their parents red-carpet footsteps, expected to be equally talented. It doesnt always work out that way, and gossip rags are dotted with disenchanted or disinherited celebrity children.
But now and then, the acorns dont fall far from family trees.
Here are six acclaimed Hollywood stars and their offspring, who have either matched their parents acting skills or appear primed to do so one day.
Tom and Colin Hanks
The similar tilt of their heads like dogs sniffing trouble, the earnest eyes and resolute jaw line. Both actors exude integrity.
Keeping it in the family: Father and son appeared together in The Great Buck Howard, as the naive assistant to a bumbling illusionist (John Malkovich) and his disapproving father.
Wouldnt you love to hear Colin say: Aww, come onnnnnn!
Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson
Those saucer eyes and pouty lips.
Keeping it in the family: They havent worked together yet, but Kates Cinema Italiano number in Nine is pure Goldie.
Wouldnt you love to hear Kate say: See, I did join the Army, but I joined a different Army. I joined the one with the condos and the private rooms.
Michael and Kirk Douglas
Those identically cleft chins.
Keeping it in the family: Believe it or not, this father and son appeared together only once in a movie, 2003s It Runs in the Family.
The film also starred Douglas-clan black sheep Cameron, Michaels son, who is currently serving a prison term for narcotics charges.
Wouldnt you love to hear Michael say: I am Spartacus!
Martin and Charlie Sheen
That Kennedyesque hair, those piercing eyes and a whiff of artistic arrogance.
Keeping it in the family: Although their relationship is often strained, the Sheens enjoy teaming in movies, notably Wall Street, in which they played father and son, and the elder Sheens cameo in Hot Shots, Part Deux poking fun at Oliver Stones movie.
Wouldnt you love to hear Charlie say: Saigon ... Im still only in Saigon ... Every time I think Im gonna wake up back in the jungle.
Vanessa Redgrave and Natasha Richardson
Those regal cheekbones and melodic English accents.
Keeping it in the family: Mother and daughter co-starred twice, in The White Countess (2005) and Evening (2007).
Wouldnt you love to hear Natasha say: Sadly, Richardsons 2009 death after a skiing accident robs us too early of her voice and talent.
Meryl Streep and Mamie Gummer
The luxurious slope of their noses, and small eyes soaking up everything.
Keeping it in the family: Mother and daughter played the same character at different ages in Evening.
Wouldnt you love to hear Mamie say: Details of your incompetence do not interest me.
