The actress unearthed a gem

"I had no idea where this journey would take me. A reminder to keep going because you never know what's next! Shout out to my co-star Emily Warfield from Man in the Moon". 

Fellow actress Julianne Moore replied: "Oh my goodness," followed by a string of red heart emojis, whilst lifestyle guru Gwyneth Paltrow penned: "Look at that FACE". 

A third fan noted: "That movie ripped my heart out! It’s also when I knew you were absolutely amazing!" and a fourth added: "Such a wonderful movie! You look exactly like your daughter here."

Ava is the spitting image of her mother

The mum-of-three's touching post comes after she paid tribute to her 23-year-old lookalike daughter, Ava Phillippe. Back in September, the Academy-Award winning actress shared a stunning portrait of the mother-daughter duo to celebrate National Daughters Day.

"Always feeling very lucky to have my wonderful, creative, talented daughter in my life!" wrote Reese, dedicating the post to her eldest.

"What a gift to share this life journey with you… and the best makeup tips... It's really great to share beauty tips, dog memes and the same shoe size. Makes life so fun! #nationaldaughtersday" she added.
