Jennifer Garner proves her daughter is her double with head-turning throwback photo at 21
The Yes Day actress shares her three children with Ben Affleck
Jennifer Garner treated fans to a photo they won't easily forget on Thursday when she posted a snapshot of herself at 21 years old - and she could be her daughter, Violet's twin.
Thestar took a walk down memory lane and shared the three-decade-old portrait on Instagram.
In the image, Jennifer rocked big, curly hair and a beaming smile, showing off her dimples.
She was make-up-free and rocking bushy eyebrows and looked much younger than her 21 years. "Everyone tap in," she wrote. "Let's see you at 21."
All three of Jennifer's children, Samuel, 11, Seraphine, 14, and Violet, 18, could be seen in the image, but the resemblance to her oldest was uncanny.

At the time, Kelly asked Jennifer if she was touring colleges with Violet and the mom-of-three gave insight into her daughter's bold personality. "Yes, she's in the middle of all of that. It is exciting. I can see the stress, but stress and excitement go hand in hand."
As for how Violet is dealing with her future plans, "She's handling it like a champ, she's in control and I'm not having to ask her are 'you doing this or are you doing that?'."
Kelly then quipped: "Self starter," and Jennifer added: "She's a self starter." Jennifer recently also spoke about how different Seraphina and Violet are in a rare interview with Dr. Aliza Pressman, in the latest episode of her podcast, .
Jennifer explained that she's asked her children to write some of their goals for the upcoming year, and their answers couldn't have been more different.
While they may not have the same goals, Jennifer's kids share one thing... a great sense of humor. "Funny is number one," she said of her number one hope for them as people.
Please be funny, that's why I had you," she joked. Luckily, it appears she got her wish: "Check, check, check, that's one thing, thank god!" she concluded.
