Everyone knows celebrities can be cuckoo bananas, but did you know that they also have access to biological technology unavailable to the rest of us plebs? The latest in celeb fads: cloning. Here is <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-most-influential-contemporary-americans?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">a list of famous people</a> who have literally cloned themselves by copying their own DNA and creating new people. Don't believe it? The proof is in the pudding, sirs. Just take a look at these snaps of celeb &quot;children&quot; compared to their famous &quot;parents.&quot; Is that a pre-teen Reese Witherspoon sulking in the schoolyard? Nope, it is her clone, a brand new second person that everyone has agreed to call &quot;Ava Elizabeth Phillippe.&quot; Were you watching Fargo and trying to place the young policeman, but feeling a little nutso because who is that guy? Don't worry - it is just the clone of Oscar-winner Tom Hanks. This new fella's name is Colin, and he is an actor, too, wouldn't you know it.Why is cloning so popular in Hollywood / the entertainment industry? Well, stars are just like us. They want their kids to succeed - and they are already famous, so why not make sure the apple falls pretty close to the tree? Also, it's a safer bet to swirl some DNA around in a dish, Gattaca-style (ahem Uma Thurman) than to roll the dice and risk mixing genes with a second parent. With a star's own identical genetic information, hot looks, sparkling personalities, je nais se quoi, and Tinsel Town connections, each of these cloned precious angels is sure to be a smash hit - even if it is not exactly one-of-a-kind.Clones.&nbsp;What do you think about the celebrity trend of playing God creating mini-mes and genetically identical lookalikes?

Our Founding Fathers

Thomas Jefferson

Most people know the story of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemings. He was a Founding Father, author of the Declaration of Independence, and a slave-owning Southern farmer. She was his property. Their relationship allegedly&nbsp;began in 1787, when Hemings was just 14&nbsp;years old. Over the next three decades, Jefferson had as many as six children with her.There are many <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/founding-fathers-horrifying-facts/isadora-teich">horrifying stories about the Founding Fathers</a>, but perhaps one of the most unscrupulous among them was Jefferson. Jefferson, who did other&nbsp;<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/list/reasons-thomas-jefferson-was-awful/stephanroget">pretty awful things</a>, also broke his promise to the mother of his children: he swore to free her and their progeny, but it didn't happen until he passed away.&nbsp;Jefferson and Hemings's Black descendants&nbsp;have faced discrimination within the Jefferson family. Jefferson's white descendants showed their prejudice when they stated they didn't believe <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://tjrs.monticello.org/letter/1266">Jefferson&nbsp;would</a> "rear a race of half breeds."&nbsp;Even when DNA evidence finally proved Jefferson was the father of Hemings's children, some white descendants continued&nbsp;to deny it.

This is a list of celebrities that you didn't know were siblings, ranked by how shocking the discovery might be to the average pop culture fan.

<a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/current-stars-with-famous-parents/carly-kiel" target="_blank">Celebrities with famous parents</a> are a dime a dozen. After all, the easiest way to get your foot in the door of the biz is to have your parent(s) make a few blockbuster films or record some hit singles -&nbsp;and that&rsquo;s totally fine. You&rsquo;d do it if you could. But it&rsquo;s really weird when some of the celebrities with famous parents look like <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-paid-homage-to-their-parents/ryan-izay" target="_blank">younger clones of their progenitors</a>. Celebrities who look like their famous parents can&rsquo;t help that they share more than a passing resemblance to the folks who supplied their genes, but it is strange to look at the duos side by side and notice the intricate similarities that they each share. There are definitely more than a few entries on this list that you&rsquo;ll be staring at and forgetting which photo belongs to the parent and which belongs to the child. 

To purposefully misquote the Insane Clown Posse:&nbsp;genetics, how do they work? Why do these celebrity children look exactly like their famous parents when other famous kids look like they could belong to anyone? Whether you understand why these celebrities <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-cloned-themselves/carlybobarly" target="_blank">look like clones of their famous parents</a> or not, you&rsquo;ll be more than a little freaked out by how much they look alike, and you&rsquo;ll want to vote on the parent-kid duos who look the most alike.

Students learn a&nbsp;ton&nbsp;about historical figures throughout school, but classes usually focus on the major cornerstone moments of these people&#39;s lives and their contributions to history. What about the smaller details, such as what happened to the children of historical figures? Many well-known&nbsp;historical people actually have <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/historical-figures-with-living-family/alby-thompson" target="_blank">family living today</a>. Others had children who went on to contribute to history in their own, perhaps less noteworthy (but no less interesting), ways.&nbsp;

From the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Aaron Burr&#39;s daughter to the princess who dedicated her life to being by Queen Victoria&#39;s side, the figures featured here were crucial parts of their parents&#39; lives. However, their stories are likely nowhere to be found in history textbooks. Vote up the figures whose stories deserve to be told.

Some celebrities become famous for being <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time">great at acting</a>, or for their ability to perform great music. Some are famous for a mixture of these talents and for having numerous children. Indeed, there are a number of celebrities who, either through birth or adoption, have managed to accrue quite a surprising, and sometimes even shocking, number of offspring.&nbsp;Moreover, while some of these children of the wealthy and famous and successful have gone on to become famous in their own right - the Kardashians being perhaps the most notable example - others have preferred to fly under the radar. As such, they reveal the many different paths that the children of famous people can take, particularly when they are part of a large family.

<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/sibling-rivalries-history/jim-rowley">Sibling rivalries can be intense</a> in any context, but especially in royal families. After all, royal rivalries between siblings often have geopolitical repercussions, with entire kingdoms at stake.If there's one thing royals have learned throughout history, it's the importance of having an “heir and a spare”: one child to inherit the throne and another on standby in case anything happens to the first. Although this theoretically makes sense, it has also fostered royal rivalry when soon-to-be kings and queens must contend with other siblings who have legitimate claims to the throne. How can a monarch consolidate his or her own authority -&nbsp;and how can younger siblings make a play for the throne?One solution is straightforward, if risky: eliminate the competition. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-patient-heirs/michael-muir">Unlike patient royal heirs</a>, some soon-to-be monarchs have killed their siblings to ensure that they never pose a threat. Conversely, queen or king siblings have schemed against their crowned family members to usurp their position and claim authority for themselves.&nbsp;At the same time, not all royal rivalries have ended in bloodshed. Some royals simply want their siblings’ support, and that can get complicated when a monarch has to juggle a number of competing responsibilities.From fratricide to smear campaigns and everything in between, these <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/bloody-historical-family-feuds/setareh-janda">rivalries and family feuds</a> demonstrate that there’s nothing inherently noble about royal families -&nbsp;they can be just as dysfunctional as the rest of us.

For as long as history has been recorded by humankind, it has been common for a child to choose the same profession as one or both of their parents. One drawback to following in a parent's footsteps is that if the parent achieves significant success and/or fame in their careers, that success can overshadow the child's achievements.This is definitely a concern for upstart actors who have <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/current-stars-with-famous-parents/carly-kiel">famous parents in the industry</a>.

Usually in famous Hollywood families, the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. All you have to do is look at the Smith family (Will, Jada, Jaden, and Willow) to see that celebs usually breed another generation of celebs. But what about those famous offspring who have decided to go in different directions than mom and dad?&nbsp;This list of famous children who have made their own names in different industries celebrates those &quot;kids&quot; who have taken different paths than their famous parents. These are the Anderson Coopers, Dylan Laurens, and Stella McCartneys of the world - those&nbsp;famous children in different industries than their parents.&nbsp;Alison Williams went the acting route, rather than pursue journalism like her father, anchorman Brian Williams. Chet Hanks (Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson's son) eschewed acting for rapping. And Dylan Lauren (Ralph Lauren's daughter) skipped out on fashion and design to become the queen of cool candy.&nbsp;As this list proves, there's no reason you have to follow in your parents' footsteps if you don't want to - you can strike out on your own and be just as (or even more) successful!

To Kids or Not to Kids?

These celebrity problem children have taken misbehaving to the next level. The kids of celebrities don't have traditional childhoods. They’re surrounded by power, money, and fame from the time they’re born. Not exactly things to complain about. But the dark side of growing up famous is that there are almost no boundaries. This list of celebrities with problem children proves that money can’t buy everything. Especially good sense. Sometimes troublemaking celebrity kids are exposed to excessive partying, drugs, and alcohol at an early age. Sometimes their famous parents aren't the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/famous-role-models-we_d-like-to-meet-in-person?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">best role models</a>. Sometimes they’re just rich spoiled brats. From law-breaking politicians’ kids to hard partying children of movie stars, the troubled young stars on this list have one thing in common: they don’t follow the rules. Who are some of the most notorious problem children? George W. Bush's twin daughters, Barbara and Jenna, were charged with underage alcohol offenses in 2001 when they were 20. Luckily, they’ve grown up and come a long way. Barbara works as the President of the non-profit company Global Health Corps and Jenna is a correspondent for NBC.Then there’s Hulk Hogan's son, Nick, who was charged with reckless driving involving serious bodily injury among other things. And the list of other famous people with problem children goes on and on. (Michael Jordan, Bruce Willis, and Jon Bon Jovi, to name a few). Do you think that theses kids acted out because their parents are famous? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

But less widely known is what happened to their descendants.

More and more, people are waiting awhile before becoming parents. There are many reasons for this: maybe they're spending time focusing on their careers, or maybe they're just waiting until the time feels right. But the youngest celebrity parents made other plans. There are a number of celebrities who had kids before turning 21. Imagine welcoming a new baby into your life before you can even legally drink!You might be surprised by some of these famous people who had children young. A few&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-teenage-mothers/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">famous teen mothers</a>, like Jamie Lynn Spears, caused quite the stir when they announced they were expecting. Others, like Lil Wayne, weren't in the public eye when they became parents.None of this is intended to judge these celeb parents. Young parents are a reality, no matter what the social mores of the day might say. For better or worse, it's a topic that fascinates the public – just look at all the reality shows focusing on teen moms and dads.

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore has appeared in some of the <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/what-movies-can-you-watch-over-and-over-again--v1?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">most beloved movies</a> of the 1980s, &lsquo;90s, and 2000s. She&rsquo;s a producer, writer/director, and vintner. With a resume like that, you&rsquo;d think she came from a strict family of disciplinarians. In truth, she grew up without a safety net for much of her life, and nearly succumbed to substance dependency.

Born to actor John Drew Barrymore and his wife, Jaid, Drew&rsquo;s parents put her into the entertainment business early; she was only 11 months old when she scored her first gig. But the dependency issues that were long present in her family, coupled with her hard-partying lifestyle, put her on the fast track for self-destruction. After spending more than a year in an institution, Drew Barrymore <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/celebrities-who-divorced-their-parents/celebrity-lists" target="_blank">emancipated herself from her parents</a> to seek some semblance of normalcy.

How did that legal procedure go down? How does Barrymore feel about her decision to extricate herself from her parents now? She&rsquo;s gone on record about her troubled childhood and the way she got out of her toxic relationship with her parents, and she&#39;s actually very positive about the entire experience.
