Revealed: Photo of Katie Holmes aged 2...and guess who she looks like

They could be identical twins. In fact these two are mother and daughter - and famous ones at that.

These astonishing pictures show just how identical little Suri Cruise is to her mother Katie Holmes when she was the same age.

Suri, the 20-month-old daughter Holmes mothered with her film-star husband Tom Cruise, has the exact same doe eyes, chubby cheeks and bowl haircut as her mother did 27 years ago.

In fact the phrase like mother like daughter has never been more fitting.

Miss Holmes, who like her husband has never been shy of the chance of a bit of publicity, showed this picture from her family album to U.S. TV viewers on 'Good Morning America'. She had been on the show to promote her new movie Mad Money.

In another interview yesterday, Holmes, 29, told U.S. chatshow host David Letterman that she wouldn't stop daughter Suri from entering the world of acting.

She said: "She's very smart, she's already talking a lot.

"You can see she is already a wonderful artist. Whatever she wants to do, if she wants to act, then yeah, if not, whatever."

The actress is also full of good wishes following the news Tom's ex Nicole Kidman is pregnant to husband Keith Urban.

She said: "I'm so happy for her. It's wonderful."

Perhaps the comments will ease tensions between the pair following Katie's recent revelation that Nicole's adopted children with Tom now call her "mom".

But Holmes hasn't strayed too far from Posh's wardrobe as Victoria is also known to sport similar accessories.
