Julianne Moore's Daughter Is Basically Her Twin
Transcript
00:00Being a redhead used to be pretty tough, largely due to the crude efforts of a certain foul-mouthed
00:05cartoon character. Luckily, flame-hued hair has undergone a glamorous Hollywood revival,
00:10with everyone from major celebs to influential fashionistas rocking some fiery locks.
00:15And dress-up options have gotten better, too, with blockbuster superheroes like
00:19Black Widow and Scarlet Witch finally offering costume choices for ginger gals.
00:23Of course, if you happen to be OG redhead stunner Julianne Moore's daughter,
00:28you can just go as your famous mom, since the resemblance is already uncanny.
00:32If Liv Freundlich, Moore's daughter with director Bart Freundlich,
00:36actually did dress up as one of her mother's characters,
00:38chances are people would just think a time-traveling Moore stepped into their party.
00:42In a slideshow published by InStyle, it's clear that Liv inherited her mother's ivory skin,
00:47slim figure, and, of course, vibrant red hair.
00:50But while Liv clearly won the genetic lottery in terms of looks, does she resemble her mother
00:54in other ways? While many people may cringe at the thought of turning into their parents,
00:58most of their mothers aren't Julianne Moore. The Academy Award winner is not only beautiful
01:02and extraordinarily talented, but by many accounts, a lovely person. When the Museum of Moving Image
01:08paid tribute to her career in 2015, multiple celebs praised the star for her generosity,
01:13sincerity, and kindness, according to IndieWire.
01:15It seems her daughter Liv Freundlich and son Caleb have both inherited the sweetness gene,
01:20with Moore describing them to Metro as, quote, really nice kids.
01:24Freundlich also shares her mother's passion for making the world a better place,
01:28with Moore telling People how her daughter inspired her to take action against gun violence
01:32in the wake of the deadly Sandy Hook shootings. A 2019 Instagram post showed the pair participating
01:37in a march in support of Wear Orange, a gun reform movement. However, the delightful
01:42duo does differ in key ways, especially when it comes to tech savviness. As Moore revealed on
01:46The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, the Big Lebowski star accidentally queued up a recording
01:51to send to a friend, one in which she and her husband were discussing the pal in question's
01:55divorce. Luckily, Freundlich saved the day by pointing out that the message wouldn't be sent
01:59if Moore just went somewhere without a signal.
02:02It sounds like Julianne Moore couldn't be happier to have Liv Freundlich as a mini-me.
02:05In a 2008 interview with The Guardian, she confessed to hoping for a daughter.
02:09Moore told the outlet,
02:10"'I always tell my little girl that I can remember lying in the bathtub when I was pregnant,
02:14and I say I wished and wished for a girl and got her.'"
02:17In an equally touching Instagram post to mark Freundlich's 18th birthday,
02:21Moore described her as, quote,
02:22"'The daughter that I dreamed of.'" While Freundlich is growing into a carbon copy
02:26of Moore in terms of appearance, it doesn't seem like the 19-year-old is necessarily set
02:30on following her parents' careers in showbiz. In a CBS This Morning appearance, Moore noted,
02:35"'People ask her about acting. She's like, not that.'"
02:37However, that was all the way back in 2016, and Freundlich may have since warmed up to the
02:42thought of a career in the spotlight. Moore will certainly be able to guide her daughter
02:46on how to make it in the movies, but for now, she sticks to advising on preserving their very
02:50similar looks — lots of sunscreen and minimal brow plucking. As if timeless beauty and a great
02:55sense of humor weren't enough, Julianne Moore can also count a formidable acting talent amongst her
03:00many gifts. Known for her nuanced portrayals of complex, troubled women, Moore has enjoyed a long
03:05and varied career, somehow managing to be both an indie darling and a Hollywood superstar. She won an Oscar for
03:102014's Still Alice and is one of only two women to secure the prestigious Triple Crown trio of
03:16awards on the European film festival circuit. But despite her many career accomplishments,
03:20Moore confessed to Metro,
03:22"'The thing I am proudest of is my family and my life.'"
03:25She went on to gush about her son and daughter, telling the outlet,
03:27"'They do well in school. They have a lot of friends. They have a lot of interests."
03:31No wonder Moore is proud. Sounds like talent runs in the family.
