Hollywood star Mariska Hargitay was seen with her rarely-seen teenage son, whom she shares with her husband, Peter Hermann. Social media users who saw the two are divided on whether the 17-year-old looks more like his mother or father.
Famous actress Mariska Hargitay, 59, recently took to Instagram to share an image of one of her sons. She posted a photograph of herself and her 17-year-old sitting in a four-by-four vehicle while enjoying a Safari trip in Kenya.
In the post, the doting mom sat in the car’s front passenger seat decked out in Safari gear with shades, a hat, and a khaki top. The handsome teenager sat behind her as he showed off his pearly whites while posing for the camera.
When the public saw the image, many could not help but notice and point out the distinct “resemblance” August Miklos Friedrich Hermann shares with his parents. In fact, Mariska’s picture sparked divided reactions among people who think August looks like his mom’s copy and others who feel he resembles his dad, Peter Hermann.
In this regard, in reference to Mariska and August, one person marveled, “You really said copy and paste with August’s face!” Concerning August and his dad, another stated, “August really just went and took Peter’s entire face. ❤️”
