An amusing experiment has been making the rounds online.
It involved five moms and daughters from England. Using some computer wizardry, Mail Online was able to prove to them that they really did look alike.
Sara, 62, and her daughter Clemmie, 30
62-year-old mom of three Sara Pearson owns a PR firm and resides in Chelsea, London with her partner.
Her daughter Clemmie, 30, is a director at her mother’s firm.

Josie, 48, and her daughter Jodie, 24
Josie O’Rourke, 48, told Mail Online, “My looks are very important to me. And I admit I’m vain. When I see myself without make-up, it’s disheartening. There are some women who embrace ageing, but I can’t because I used to be so attractive – just like my daughter, Josie. Ageing is definitely harder for attractive women. If you worry about your looks, you’ve more to lose.”
Her daughter, 24-year-old Jodie Clark O’Rourke is an events manager who lives in Stratford, East London.
When asked about aging, Jodie says it hasn’t even crossed her mind yet. But she shares that her mom Josie hates getting older.
“I wish she could see she’s still gorgeous,” Jodie tells Mail Online. “I love that we look so alike – we have the same eyes, smile and dimples.”
