Genetics are a tricky thing. Usually, we think we know what we're getting when we have a baby. At least, we seem to think that we understand the parameters of how a child may look when they come out of their mothers. After all, there are really only two people they can look like the most: mama and papa. And they usually find a healthy combination of the two.

But a child could easily take on traits from older generations, as well as recessive genes that exist somewhere in the family. More often than not, the child takes on the appearance of one parent over the other. Whatever the case may have been for the celebrity children on this list, they definitely don't look like the fathers who helped to create them. This is slightly unfortunate for these actors, musicians, athletes, and business tycoons who fathered sons and daughters they hoped would take on some of their better physical traits.

Still, it doesn't stop them from loving their children to the fullest. But it does cause fans to raise our eyebrows and maybe even question if these kids and teenagers actually belong to these celebrity dads. Buckle up, because eyebrows are definitely about to get raised. Without further ado, here are 20 celebrity kids who don't look like their dads.

20 Ireland Baldwin Looks More Like Her Mom

Famous model and influencer, Ireland Baldwin, looks almost identical to her actor mom, Kim Basinger. Seriously, the resemblance is just uncanny. For those who aren't aware of Kim Basinger's astounding filmography, rewatching the original Batman with Michael Keaton and L.A. Confidential is a must. Basinger was also in the Fifty Shades of Grey series. Ireland's father, on the other hand, is an actor, comedian, and game show host that most people are well aware of. After all, he's basically in every movie, show, and skit on SNL. But Alec looks almost nothing like his father who has the pale skin and statuesque height that he could only dream of. Nonetheless, she is his child.

19 Chet Hanks Seems A Bit Edgy Compared To Tom

Life in Pieces star Colin Hanks looks precisely like his dad did in movies like Forest Gump, Splash, and Castaway. But Chet, who is one of Tom Hanks' sons with actor Rita Wilson, doesn't look like him at all. In fact, Chet is more classically handsome and shares similar facial similarities to his talented mother. There are one or two similar features that they share, but they probably have to tell others that they are indeed related and not just good buds -- as everybody seems to be with Tom. After all, he just seems like one of the nicest guys in Hollywood.

18 The Mystery Of Khloe Kardashian's Parentage

For the longest time, people have been noticing the differences between Khloe Kardashian and the rest of her family. Although there's no doubt that Kris Jenner is her mother, the pair just don't look alike. And as for his sisters, Khloe could not be more dissimilar. One of the reasons that Khloe stands out so much is the fact that, with the exception of Kendall, all fo the Kardashians and Jenner daughters really do look identical. The fact that they dress and act alike doesn't help. But as dissimilar as Khloe looks to her mother and sisters, she looks even less like her dad, Robert Kardashian. There have been some totally factless ideas that Khloe is actually O.J. Simpson's daughter. The only thing that props this rumor up is the fact that she shares many of the same features as the disgraced football player, as well as that Kris Jenner admits to having had relationships with people other than Robert.

17 Nicolas Cage's Son Has To Be Adopted

Only the son of Nic Cage would pose for a photo this randomly hilarious. So, there's no doubt that aspiring actor Weston Coppola Cage is, in fact, the son of the most meme-able actor around. But, we have to admit, the pair really don't look anything like one another. Both men have dark hair and blue eyes, but the likeness ends right there. Their clothing styles are very different, which helps make them stand apart. And maybe that's what Weston wants as his Academy Award-winning father has carved out a very specific place for himself in the entertainment industry. Weston probably wants to make his own mark.

16 Kaia Gerber Is Identical To Her Mom, Not Her Dad

Kaia Gerber's face is everywhere. Social media, billboards, magazines, perfume and clothing ads, you name it -- Kaia Gerber is the new Cindy Crawford. How ironic it is that Kaia Geber is actually Cindy Crawford's daughter. Although there's literally no mistaking this fact; Kaia is the spitting image of her mother when she was her age. But the breathtakingly beautiful model doesn't look too much like her successful and handsome father, Rande Gerber. For those who don't know, Rande is an entertainment industry businessman and former model himself. He has expanded his business to bars, nightlife, and even his own spirit company he worked on with George Clooney.

15 Sistine, Scarlet & Sophia May Aswell Not Be Sly's

Okay, let's face it, Sly Stallone has three of the most attractive daughters in Hollywood. No wonder they are getting modeling contracts left-right-and-center and quickly becoming household names. This is especially true for Sistine, who is the tallest, most tanned, and most traditional runway model in the whole Stallone family. Her two sisters, Sophia and Scarlet also have a lot of the same physical traits that make the model industry swoon. But none of these traits are ones that Sly shares. For one, Sly isn't known for having the slender build. He's the muscle-man, the action star. He has a more solid face that isn't soft in any way. But his daughters are all elegant, and delicate, taking after their beautiful mother, Jennifer Flavin.

14 Emma Roberts May As Well Be Julia's, Not Eric's

Emma Roberts and her auntie Julia could have completely different last names and we'd know that they were related. Although they have their own looks, their similarities are unmistakable. They even have roughly the same frame, albeit the Lymelife and Scream Queens star is much shorter. But it's Emma's father, Dark Knight and Expendables actor Eric Roberts, who looks the least like his daughter. The two semi-estranged family members barely share any of the same features. Well, they both have faces. So, we guess that that's similar, but when it comes to specifics, we really can't name any. Emma and Eric don't even have the same color eyes.

13 Suri Cruise May Only Have A Mother

We suppose that Suri Cruise could get away with being Tom Cruise's daughter if nobody told us it was so. After all, they both have dark hair and similar skin tones. But when it comes to specifics, Suri Cruise looks far more like her mother. Suri's smile, her facial features, and even her demeanor as she walks down the street, remind us of Batman Begins and Dawson's Creek star Katie Holmes. But when it comes to Suri's mannerisms, it makes sense that she takes after her mom. This is because she lives on the other side of the country than her dad and rarely (if ever) sees him. Therefore, there's no chance of her adopting his characteristics.

12 Eliot De Niro and Robert De Niro Look Nothing ALike

With the exception of his son Raphael, none of Academy Award-winning actor Robert De Niro's kids look anything like him; he has six in total. This is because they all take after their two baby mamas, Diahnne Abbott, and Grace Hightower. Eliot De Niro, specifically, doesn't look at all like his famous father. Eliot's younger sister, Helen Grace, also has her brothers coloring, curly hair, and the likeness to her mother. Even all of Eliot's facial features seem to be taken from his philanthropist mother, Robert De Niro's ex, Grace Hightower. Still, De Niro is spotted with his kids quite often, proving that he cares more about their love for one another than the fact that they look nothing like him.

11 Andy Garcia's Beautiful Daughter

The Godfather Part 3, Internal Affairs, The Untouchables, and Ocean's 11 Trilogy star Andy Garcia has four kids in total. Two of them are really starting to make a name for themselves. Dominik is an aspiring actor while Alessandra, Garcia's youngest child is billing herself as a plus-size model (which is somewhat hilarious and aggravating because she's pretty slender). What's notable about Alessandra is that she doesn't look at all like her famous father. Alessandra's proportioned face, tall stature, full lips, and button nose seem at odds with the coarser characteristics of Andy Garcia's face. Alessandra looks far more like her mother, Marivi Lorido. In fact, all of Andy's kids take after their mother and not him.

10 Lily-Rose Depp Looks More Like Amber Heard

Speaking of models, Johnny Depp's only kid, Lily-Rose Depp is making a huge splash. Her famous is practically everywhere as she endorses various products and does fashion shoots that make every guy swoon, especially Call Me By Your Name star, Timothee Chalamet, who is has been romantically linked to her. Of course, Chalamet probably plays this pretty stealthily since her father has a bit of a reputation. However, most people wouldn't even know that Lily-Rose is Johnny's daughter since the two really don't look alike. They both seem to enjoy the same edgy fashion, but that's the extent of their physical similarities. Lily-Rose looks far more like her mother, model and singer Vanessa Paradis. In fact, she even looks more like Johnny's famous ex, Amber Heard.

9 Violet Affleck Is Like A Younger Version Of Her Mama

Violet Affleck looks everything like her mother, Jennifer Garner, and nothing like her dad, Ben Affleck. Ben Affleck has a thick-set, strong-jawed face, and dark hair and eyes. But his daughter, Violet, hasn't inherited any of her father's coloring. Her pale brown hair and softer features make her look like a younger version of her very famous and talented mother. The shape of her face, her eyes, her nose, her thin stature, is everything her mother is and was when she was much younger. Although, it should be said Jennifer Garner has much darker skin than her eldest daughter does. Villet's pale look must have come from a family member somewhere in Affleck's and Garner's respective lineages.

8 This Is Mr. Bean's Daughter!?

First of all, we should be aware that Rowan Atkinson is far more impressive than his highly famous titular role in Mr. Bean would have us think. In the UK, he has been one of the most successful standups and sketch comedians around and is far superior in his acerbic roles such as Blackadder and The Thin Blue Line. Additionally, he's been in some really great films like Love Actually and Keeping Mum. But regardless, Atkinson is best-known for his Mr. Bean character and the odd look that he has. The same can't be said for his absolutely gorgeous daughter, Lily, the eldest of his three kids. Unlike her dad, Lily has smoky eyes, strong cheekbones, a tanned complexion, and looks dreamily disheveled.

7 Rob Lowe's Sons Look Like Each Other But Definitely Not Like Him

Nobody would disagree with the fact that Rob Lowe's handsome sons, Matthew and John, have a look that people generally gravitate toward. Similarly, nobody would deny that Rob Lowe also has this look. After all, the guy is sort of dreamy. But what's odd is that Rob and his two sons look nothing alike. Sure, they are all stereotypical, jockish, good looking men with the same genetics, but only the two brothers look alike. It's almost as if the boys have a totally different father. Still, Lowe does like to talk about how much his boys get from him, such as their level of intelligence. Still, they clearly didn't precisely get their father's looks.

6 The Daughter Of A Rockstar

One of the remarkably beautiful and talented Lily Collin's defining features is her bushy eyebrows. It's one of those features that just set her apart on screen aside from the fact that, unlike most kids of famous stars, she can actually act her socks off. But these bushy eyebrows aren't really something her famous musician father has. Additionally, they share none of the same facial features and even have completely dissimilar eyes. In fact, it would be hard to claim that they look related in any way. But Lily Collins is definitely the biological daughter of the master behind "Something In The Air Tonight" and the Tarzan soundtrack.

5 None Of Michael Jackson's Kids Look Like Him, Especially Paris

There are a few reasons why none of Michael Jackson's kids look like their famous and disgraced father. Most of the reasons are a bit insensitive to discuss here. But you can probably figure them out for yourself. But Paris Jackson is a little bit of a different situation. This is because the boys did pick up one or two of Michael's most famous features from when he was younger. Paris, on the other hand, got none of them. What's even odder is that she looks nothing like her mother, Debbie Rowe. However, she could have gotten her straight hair and blue eyes from the Rowe side of the family. Regardless, nobody would think that Paris was Michael's daughter if we didn't already know that to be true.

4 Kelly Doesn't Look Like Ozzy Or Sharon

Unlike the Kardashians, the Osbourne clan were a fantastically cool reality-TV family. This is because both Ozzy and Sharon were famous before the fact for doing things that actually required creative skill and business smarts. From MTV's The Osbournes, we were introduced to their youngest daughter, Kelly, who has since gone on to have quite the life. But what's odd about Kelly is the fact that she doesn't look like either of her parents. Sure, she and her absolutely hilarious mother Sharon do share similar styles, they don't look alike. Ozzy, in particular, seems to have skipped on passing on some of his genetics. Kelly has none of the same features, although seems to have her father's edge.

3 Rumour Is, Rumer Looks Nothing Like Bruce

Some say that Rumer has many of the same features of her mother, actor Demi Moore. But we think that the two couldn't look more different. But this Dancing With The Stars contestant actually has far fewer similarities to her father, A-Lister Bruce Willis, who doesn't have her slightly pointed nose, dark eye color, or even the same mouths. Of course, their hair is utterly different as well. But that's because Rumer colors her hair to make it that red and Bruce, well, Bruce has none. But that's okay. He doesn't need it. The guy is one of the biggest action stars in the world. Making bald-men everywhere proud as punch.

2 Bryce Dallas-Howard and Ron Howard Are Redheads Who Look Nothing Alike

Ron Howard, AKA the child-star, AKA one of the most talented and prolific film directors, AKA one of the nicest men in Hollywood, is the father of one of the most famous and talented young women working in the film industry today. This is actor and future director of The Mandalorian Bryce Dallas-Howard. Of course, both Ron and Bryce share the same iconic red hair, although Bryce tends to color it for specific roles. But other than their ginger locks, the pair really don't look alike. Bryce's face is far more tender and circular, and her father's isn't. The pair do share roughly the same nose, however. But if someone said they weren't related, we'd probably believe them.

1 Delilah Belle Hamlin Doesn't Really Look Like Her Papa Or Mama

Move over Gigi Hadid, there's a new girl in town and her name is Delilah Belle Hamlin. Anyone who is a fan of celebrity culture or social media is well aware of this rising talent in the modeling world. However, she's not quite a household name yet. She's the daughter of two quite famous individuals, Harry Robinson Hamlin, an author, entrepreneur, and actor best known for L.A. Law, as well as Lisa Rinna, an actor most famous for the soap opera Days of Our Lives. What's odd is that Delilah doesn't really look like either of her parents, especially her father. The pair really only have their pale complexion in common. And yet, every member of this family is physically gorgeous in their own special way. They just don't look like they're related.
