I refuse to believe that Idina Menzel and Lea Michele aren't related in real life.
We asked the BuzzFeed Community which TV kids and parents look so alike, they could be related IRL. Here's what they said:
1. Olivia (Carla Gugino) and Theo Crain (Kate Siegel) from The Haunting of Hill House
Netflix
3. Sasha (Lindsay Price) and Izzie Taylor (Fivel Stewart) from Atypical
Netflix
"While watching Atypical, I kept thinking Izzie looked like Lindsay Price, then, low and behold, we're introduced to Lindsay Price as her mother in the show. I really thought they were related somehow, but nope."
4. Shelby Corcoran (Idina Menzel) and Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) from Glee
Fox
"I was 100% convinced they were mother and daughter on Glee. They look so much alike, and their voices are so similar too."
5. Hayley Marshall (Phoebe Tonkin) and Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell) from The Originals
The CW
"They actually look like mother and daughter, it's wild."
6. Victoria (Daphne Zuniga) and Brooke Davis (Sophia Bush) from One Tree Hill
The WB
"They definitely looked like real-life daughter and mother."
7. Nalini (Poorna Jagannathan) and Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) from Never Have I Ever
Netflix
8. Lori (Julianne Nicholson) and Ryan Ross (Cameron Mann) from Mare of Easttown
HBO
"I think HBO shows, in general, do a fantastic job of casting parent/child roles, but I was stunned at how much their facial features look alike, and how Cameron literally looks like he could be Julianne’s child!"
9. Mary (Shelley Conn) and Edwina Sharma (Charithra Chandran) from Bridgerton
Netflix
10. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Mia Smoak (Katherine McNamara) from Arrow
The CW
"They look so similar!!! William and Oliver look pretty similar too. The Arrowverse in general does a really good job with this."
11. Jackie (Tamsin Greig) and Jonny Goodman (Tom Rosenthal) from Friday Night Dinner
Channel 4
"I was convinced they were blood related and even researched them up."
12. Eleanor (Margaret Colin) and Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) from Gossip Girl
The CW
"They have very similar features and could pass as relatives."
13. Sarah (Kathy Kiera Clarke) and Orla McCool (Louisa Harland) from Derry Girls
Netflix
14. Mia (Kerry Washington) and Pearl Warren (Lexi Underwood) from Little Fires Everywhere
Hulu
15. Charlotte (Karoline Eichhorn) and Elisabeth Doppler (Carlotta von Falkenhayn) and from Dark
Netflix
"If anyone’s watched Dark on Netflix, the casting is ridiculously good! Elizabeth and Charlotte especially. Without spoiling too much, it’s a show where it’s REALLY IMPORTANT that some kids and their parents look alike and they nailed it."
16. Bobbi (Susie Essman) and Ilana Wexler (Ilana Glazer) from Broad City
Comedy Central
17. Lorelai (Lauren Graham) and Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) from Gilmore Girls

22. Sophie (Lesley Ann Warren) and Susan (Teri Hatcher) from Desperate Housewives

"When I watched Lesley in the 1985 movie Clue she reminded me so much of Teri."
23. Xiomara (Andrea Navedo) and Jane Villanueva (Gina Rodriguez) from Jane the Virgin
The CW
24. Ellie Harp (Sheryl Lynn Lee) and Peyton Sawyer (Hilarie Burton) from One Tree Hill

"Meredith's daughter Ellis looks like her namesake and grandma Ellis. It’s great casting!"
