This has got to be one of the craziest lookalike situations we've seen so far! Or maybe it's just because Ice Cube (real name O'Shea Jackson) and his son, 27-year-old O'Shea Jackson Jr. have sculpted their facial hair into the exact same style. Just like dad, O'Shea Jackson Jr. is an actor and rapper. His stage name is OMG.
This father and son duo look so much like each other that Jr. was cast as the younger version of Ice Cube in Straight Outta Compton, a biographical film about Ice Cube's former hip-hop group, N.W.A, which also included rappers Dr. Dre and Eazy-E, amongst others. In addition to Straight Outta Compton, O'Shea Jackson Jr. has starred in Ingrid Goes West alongside Aubrey Plaza, as well as Den of Thieves. We look forward to seeing him in more!
