Twenty-four-year-old Rafferty Law is starting to emerge from his father's shadow with a modeling, music, and acting career—but that doesn't mean he doesn't still look like him. In a brand-new photoshoot and feature for British GQ, you can really see how much Jude Law's son resembles him, other than the curly hair, that is.
Rafferty—AKA Raff—is the cover star for GQ Hype, and in his new feature, he talks about his famous dad, following in his acting footsteps, and, of course, the similarities in the way they look. "There’s that comparison all the time and I find it quite funny, because obviously we’re going to look quite similar—he’s my dad," Rafferty told the magazine.

"My dad’s my best mate; he and I have always been so close," Rafferty told British GQ. "Like any father and son, growing up I looked up to my dad a lot. I’ve always liked the way he dresses—he loves trainers, so that got me into trainers from a young age. He likes good music and that got me into the same."

Rafferty's parents are supportive of him following in their footsteps.
Raff Law/InstagramRafferty's mother is Sadie Frost, who is also in the entertainment business as an actor and producer. According to Rafferty, his parents never tried to sway him one way or the other when it came to him wanting to act.
"I don’t think they felt strongly either way," he told British GQ. "They’ve been watching me in school plays since I was five and it’s always been something I've loved doing, as well as music and writing, so they've been very supportive of me and my siblings following our passions and dreams. For them, if you work hard at something, the rewards pay off."
