​Reese Witherspoon Is Joined By Her Look-A-Like Daughter For 'A Wrinkle In Time' Premiere

Reese Witherspoon was joined by daughter Ava at the premiere for A Wrinkle in Time, and everyone was left stunned at how similar the two looked - not only seeing it as an example of some pretty apparent genetics in action, but also the suggestion that Reese Witherspoon has barely aged in her 20+ year career.

But despite the fact that the whole world can see the resemblance, Reese doesn't reckon her and her daughter look that similar.

She appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show a few months back, when host Ellen pulled up a photo of the two, saying: "She looks just like you. I know everybody keeps saying it."

"Really?" Reese replied. "She and I are always like: 'We don't see it!'"

Ellen used it as her cue to compliment Reese on her youthful looks, chipping in: "I mean, you look so young."

Ava and her brother 14-year-old brother Deacon are Reese's children from her previous marriage to Ryan Phillippe, who she married in 1999 and divorced in 2007. Now married to talent agent Jim Toth, her third child Tennessee was born in 2012.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the premiere, Reese said that her two older kids read A Wrinkle in Time in school, and that they were 'really excited' to finally see the words come to life on the big screen.

"They know everything, and I can't wait to hear what they think," she said.

"The first thing my son said when I got cast - he goes: 'Aren't these supposed to be a bunch of old ladies?'

"And I said: 'No, this is a re-imagining.'

"He said: 'Doesn't make any sense,' but that's the great thing about this book - it is a classic, but it's very updated for our time, so it's exciting to see what [director] Ava DuVernay did with it."

As for her youngest, five-year-old son Tennessee?"He's asleep, but he would be here. He's gonna see the movie the minute it opens. He's so excited."

Ava took photos of her and Reese on the red carpet, but she shared a selfie with her little brother ahead of the event on Instagram.

Reese also shared some family moments on Instagram, showing her, Ava and Deacon getting ready for the big night.

In an Instagram story, she asked her kids to explain what A Wrinkle in Time is, at which point they said 'A book!' in unison, raising their hands in the air.
