Reese Witherspoon<\/a>‘s son, Deacon Phillippe<\/a>, was the spitting image of his famous father, Ryan Phillippe<\/a>, in a new photoshoot for a clothing brand that saw him showcase his six-pack abs.<\/p>\n

The 22-year-old wowed fans with photos of him rocking pieces from ERL Clothing, including a baggy purple tank top with a graphic design on the front, and baggy jeans with cargo pockets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The budding star could’ve been his dad’s twin with his smouldering look and the blond locks pushed back out of his face.<\/p>\n

Deacon’s fans took to the comment section to exclaim over the resemblance, with one writing: “He’s got both his parents’ elite genes,” while another added: “Of course, that’s [Ryan’s] son,” and a third said: “So handsome!”<\/p>\n

Reese and Ryan were married from 1999 until they split in 2006, and welcomed kids Ava<\/a> and Deacon together. The pair have often been compared to their famous parents due to their strikingly similar looks.<\/p>\n

Ryan shared with E! News<\/a> that people often pointed out the resemblance between himself and his son, and claimed that Deacon was “way better looking than I am”.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, there is a father-son resemblance, but he actually looks a lot more like Reese’s side of the family. Ava looks more like mine,” he explained. “Quite often, the interpretation in the media is that she looks exactly like her mom and he looks exactly like me, but I think we both feel differently about it.”<\/p>\n

The Cruel Intentions star added on The Late Late Show that Ava was often embarrassed by Ryan and Deacon’s uncanny resemblance.<\/p>\n

“My daughter gets embarrassed sometimes by the fact that I do look so young and I get mistaken for her brother sometimes,” he said. “Which repulses her! Like, absolutely repulses her that anyone could mistake me for her brother.”<\/p>\n

Reese and Ava are often touted as twins, with Reese telling InStyle<\/a> that the 26-year-old takes it on the chin. “I love being mistaken for her because it makes me feel so young. I’m so proud of her. She really rolls with it. I’m sure it’s not easy looking exactly like your mother,” she laughed.<\/p>\n

Spending time together<\/p>\n

Deacon is following in his parents’ footsteps in the entertainment industry, and has appeared in projects like Never Have I Ever, Motorheads and 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank.\u00a0Deacon joined his father in Motorheads, portraying Ryan’s character’s brother in flashback scenes.<\/p>\n

“I was thrilled, because what that meant was he would come in and out throughout the production, and I would get to spend time with him,” Ryan told People<\/a> of his son’s role. “When your kids go off to college, it’s really unsettling. It really leaves a deficit, a hole in your life in some ways.”<\/p>\n

“Even though I go and visit him in New York, and we spend a lot of time with each other when we can, it’s different than when you’ve got them in your house every day. This experience offered me that opportunity again to live together for a week.”<\/p>\n

Deacon graduated from NYU in May<\/a>, with his parents reuniting to support him on the special day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reese Witherspoon‘s son, Deacon Phillippe, was the spitting image of his famous father, Ryan Phillippe, in a new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":584171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[4670,458,264173,264171,264170,146,1077,85,46,9718,190450,264172],"class_list":["post-584170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-california","tag-celebrities","tag-culver-city","tag-deacon-phillippe","tag-deacon-reese-phillippe","tag-entertainment","tag-getty-images","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-reese-witherspoon","tag-ryan-phillippe","tag-uncanny-resemblance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=584170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/584170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/584171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=584170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=584170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=584170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
