Ryan Phillippe admitted to feeling confused over the internet’s feverish fascination over his daughter Ava, 23, and 18-year-old son Deacon’s striking resemblance to him.
When asked about his ex-wife Reese Witherspoon‘s recent remarks that she doesn’t ‘see’ why people call their eldest her lookalike, the Summit Fever, 48, revealed ‘lately’ he’s been told ‘Deacon looks like her [Witherspoon] and Ava looks like me.’
‘My response is always, ‘Duh… How are you surprised that children look like their parents?’ Isn’t that biologically how it’s meant to work?’ he told Extra.

Phillippe also praised his son’s musical career as he noted Deacon ‘had a lot of fun’ creating his single Never Have I Ever.
‘These kids, they’re lucky enough to have any opportunity they want, which is not something myself or Reese could have said at that age, and we just want them to be happy,’ he continued.
The father-of-three added: ‘Life takes a lot of different twists and turns… I just want them be happy.’

Back in 2021, Phillippe told E! Online that he ‘obviously’ recognized the ‘father-son resemblance’ between him and Deacon.
‘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,’ he shared.
Still, Phillippe concluded his teen is ‘way better looking than.’

Earlier this month during an appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna, Witherspoon admitted she did not see why everyone says she and Ava are ‘twins.’
‘You think so? You see it? [Ava] and I don’t see it that much,’ the Oscar winner asked Jenna Bush Hager.
Over the years, however, the Big Little Lies star says she ‘loves’ when fans mistake her for Ava because it makes her feel ‘young.’
‘I’m so proud of her,’ the Legally Blonde actress said. ‘She really rolls with it. I’m sure it’s not easy looking exactly like your mother.’
