John Wayne's Grandson Looks Just Like Him
He's been acting for about 20 years now, most recently in The Mandalorian as Pedro Pascal's double — the guy in the armor, according to Vulture. Out of the all-encompassing getup, more than a few observers have mentioned his physical resemblance to his famous grandfather. He's even appeared in a remake, a TV version of Angel and the Badman in 2009, though Lou Diamond Philips played the John Wayne part.
The physical similarities were clear during that shoot. "When people meet me they always say that they're not sure I look like him. But I look like him enough, because they think of him from the 1960s and '70s, not when he started out in the 1920s and '30s," said Wayne. Career-wise, it probably hasn't hurt.
So how do you address a pop culture icon of manliness like John Wayne? Even if you're related? "You know what's funny?" he told Vanity Fair. "Of all the affectionate names we could've called him, all the masculine versions of 'Grandfather' ... He wanted to be Granddaddy. That's just amazing to me in hindsight."
