Woody Harrelson has penned a poem for an adorable baby who happens to resemble the Hollywood star. Dani Grier Mulvenna, from Northern Ireland, posted a side-by-side comparison of her daughter Nora and the 61-year-old actor.

Sharing the photo to Twitter on Wednesday (August 3), she captioned the post: "Ok but how does our daughter look like Woody Harreslon". The post has since gone viral, with almost 600,000 likes on the social media site - and it even caught the attention of the legendary actor himself.

On Thursday (August 4) Woody, who rose to fame as Woody Boyd in the sitcom Cheers, shared a screenshot of Dani's Twitter post to his 2.6 million Instagram followers. He captioned the photo with a sweet poem, titled 'Ode to Cora.'

Woody wrote: "Ode to Cora- You're an adorable child/Flattered to be compared/You have a wonderful smile/I just wish I had your hair".

Dani responded to the adorable post: "You've made our day" alongside a red heart emoji as she continued: "can't wait to show her this when she's older, you have another fan for life xxx". She also returned to Twitter to share a screenshot of Woody's post, adding: "It's not every day Woody Harreslon writes your daughter a poem".
