Woody Harrelson responds to viral photo of 'adorable' lookalike baby with a poem
- Woody Harrelson responded to a viral picture of a baby that looks like him.
- In a poem on Instagram, Harrelson said he wished he had the baby's hair.
Woody Harrelson shared a poem he wrote for a baby who went viral for looking like the famous actor.
Last week, Dani Grier Mulvenna from Northern Ireland posted a picture of her daughter, Cora, alongside an image of Harrelson, and compared their likenesses.
Mulvenna wrote: "Ok but how does our daughter look like Woody Harreslon."
Mulvenna only noticed later that her phone had misspelled Harrelson's name.
She added in a later tweet: "Cora says, thank you all so much for the likes and retweets and also that she doesn't always look like Woody Harreslon, it's just that when she does...she really really does xxx."
The photo went viral and the "Zombieland" actor took notice, sharing a screengrab of the tweet on Instagram.
"Ode to Cora," he captioned the post. "You're an adorable child. Flattered to be compared. You have a wonderful smile. I just wish I had your hair."
Mulvenna replied in the comments section: "You've made our day. Can't wait to show her this when she's older, you have another fan for life xxx."
Mulvenna's original post prompted some followers to respond with photos of other baby celebrity lookalikes.
In 2017, Ed Sheeran responded to his own baby lookalike. When asked on "Good Morning Britain" about the strange resemblance between himself and a two-year-old girl from England, called Isla Walton, Sheeran denied any relation to her.
"She's not mine, she's not mine! I'm telling you," Sheeran said during the interview. "It's mad the kinds of things that go viral!"
The girl's mother, Zoe Walton, later told E! News that "hopefully one day" the pop singer would reach out to meet his doppelganger.
