Catherine Zeta-Jones’ daughter is growing up fast, and she looks just like her famous mom
Growing up in the shadow of two Hollywood celebrities can’t be simple.
Dylan Michael and Carys Zeta Douglas, offspring of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, seem to live a life of luxury and privilege, as one might expect.
Their journey through adolescence has captivated media attention, speculating whether they would follow their famous parents into show business.
Recent developments suggest Carys might just be stepping into her mother’s shoes.
Zeta-Jones openly expressed her hopes for her children to pursue acting, saying: “You want to watch them on stage”. She shared how both kids have shown interest in the craft, with Dylan aiming for a theater degree and Carys initially leaning towards acting over becoming a pediatrician.
The public is keenly following their aspirations, especially Carys, whose striking resemblance to her mother has become a talking point. Her runway debut at New York Fashion Week last year created quite a buzz.
Despite being just 15, Carys has maintained a low profile. However, a recent appearance with her mother at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda event in New York brought her back into the spotlight. The duo arrived in matching outfits, drawing attention not just for their attire but also for their uncanny resemblance.
Carys is blossoming into a beautiful young woman, much like her famous mother, and reports suggest she possesses a similarly kind-hearted nature.
