If your grandparents are particularly glamorous (like mine), then it can be high praise to hear you share a striking resemblance two generations back. For these stars, their grandparents’ good looks have often passed to their parents and all the way down the decades to the latest celebrity generation.
Read on to find out which silver screen icon Drew Barrymore resembles and the strong genetics at play in the Presley family.

Dolores Costello & Drew Barrymore
We didn’t think anyone could equal Drew Barrymore’s doe-eyed glamour but it seems grandmother Dolores Costello was peeking out from oversized bonnets before she was born.
It’s clear Drew feels a close connection to her lookalike grandmother, commenting on a compilation of photos featuring Dolores: “You brought me my grandmother!!! I have tears streaming down my face as I write this!! Thank you. I needed this tonight!!!! Ps. Isn’t she so neat?! Thank you 🙏.”

Bob Dylan & Pablo Dylan
Pablo Dylan has reconnected with his roots, shifting track from a hip-hop career to folk-rock. With that same head of curls and a shared talent for folky tunes, we’re excited to see how Pablo carries on his grandfather’s intimidating legacy.
It seems music has always been a family affair, a young Pablo told AllHipHop (in an interview widely syndicated by Rolling Stone): ‘My grandfather, I consider him the Jay-Z of his time. I love him to death.’

Priscilla Presley & Riley Keough
Riley Keough showed off her grandfather Elvis’ singing skills in Daisy Jones and the Six – yes, the Elvis – but has seemingly inherited her grandmother’s glam good looks.
The pair are keeping close, despite a bout of disputes over Lisa Marie Presley’s will, and Riley couldn’t be prouder of her nan’s hard work. She told Vanity Fair, “She’s a beautiful woman, and she was a huge part of creating my grandfather’s legacy and Graceland. It’s very important to her.”

Gregory Peck & Ethan Peck
Ethan Peck and his grandfather Gregory Peck share an enviably chiseled jaw and dark wavy hair that is just as swoon worthy today as it was in Gregory’s heyday.
But even Ethan can’t comprehend the heights of his grandfather’s fame. He told the New York Post, “We share the name. But it feels like my own. He was Grandpa — and also an icon.”

Elvis Presley & Benjamin Keough
Lisa Marie Presley welcomed a lookalike of her famous father in son Benjamin Keough. The resemblance wasn’t lost on her, and she called their similar looks “uncanny”.
She told CMT in 2012: “Sometimes I am overwhelmed when I look at him”. Benjamin sadly died in 2020 at the age of 27.
