Hollywood actress Reese Witherspoon posted a rare picture of her lookalike son in a sweet Instagram tribute for his 19th birthday.
The 46-year-old Legally Blonde actress said she's proud of Deacon Phillippe's "joyful energy, endless drive, ambition and the biggest heart in the world."
But fans couldn't help notice the similarities between the two with one writing: "He really inherited a lot from your beautiful face, you can't ignore it."
The Academy Award-winning performer wrote: "Big Birthday Love for @deaconphillippe today! The guy who possesses the most joyful energy, endless drive, ambition and talent. And the biggest heart in the world. Could not be more PROUD of you.. I love you, D!"
One fan wrote "Handsome lad. Looks like his Momma!" and another said: "Spitting image of his beautiful mother."
Witherspoon shares Deacon with former husband, Ryan Phillippe, 48, whom she met during a bash that was being held for her 21st birthday party.
She met Phillippe, and tied the knot during a wedding ceremony in 1999 before divorcing in 2007.
Witherspoon married her now husband Jim Toth in 2011 and the following year the pair went on to welcome a son named Tennessee James.
She spoke about her difficulties with motherhood on The Drew Barrymore show back in 2020.
Witherspoon said: "I was just like every other mom and dad trying to figure it out. There's a lot of compromise.
"Every bit of that sacrifice is truly worth it. You feel like that's what makes me wake up on a Sunday, it's not movies or my job, it's my kids.
"Being a mom is really great, it's a big part of my life. I would say it's the biggest part of my life."
