Richard Gere, 75, took to the red carpet on Thursday night for the New York premiere of The Agency alongside his wife Alejandra Silva.

But the actor's wife wasn't his only supporter as his son Homer James Jigme Gere was also seen on the night - and he looked uncannily similar to his famous mother.

The 24-year-old actor was seen in a navy suit and white open-neck shirt and as he beamed at the camera he looked uncannily similar to his mom Carey Lowell. Homer has inherited the Law & Order actress' wide smile and strong bone structure.

The Runaway Bride actor was married to Bond girl Carey Lowell between 2002 and 2016 after having met in 1995. They tied the knot in an ultra-private ceremony on the grounds of their weekend home in Pound Ridge, New York and it was reported that Homer and Carey's daughter Hannah from her prior marriage to Griffin Dunne were the only guests.

Homer's name pays homage to his parents' fathers - Homer Gere and James Lowell. His middle name is a nod to Gere's Buddhist beliefs as the moniker means 'fearless' in Tibetan.
