It's hard not to do a double take when catching a glimpse of Dhani Harrison.
At 34, the handsome musician is the image of his late father - and former Beatle - George; right down to his profound deep brown eyes, gentle smile and unassuming gait.
But when he stepped out in L.A on Wednesday night, Dhani and new wife Sola were the image of his father and first wife Pattie Boyd in the '60s.

Proud husband: Dhani Harrison is the image of his late father, George, and it was hard not to do a double take as he made a rare appearance at the Beautiful Creatures premiere in L.A. on Wednesday
George's boy made a rare public appearance at the premiere of Beautiful Creatures held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood with his new wife, Sola, as he crafted the film's soundtrack with collective, thenewno2.
Dhani stands shorter at 5ft7 than his Liverpool-born father, who was 5ft10 (this was a similar height to Lennon and McCartney, both 5ft11, and created that famous symmetry on stage with George; 5ft6 inch Ringo sat behind his drums, of course).
But the similarity is so striking, you barely notice, he's as reluctant to be in the limelight as his quiet and sardonic father - who called his own company Dark Horse - and was only attending this event to support his musical contribution.
The handsome young man is George's only child and from his second marriage to Mexican beauty Olivia Arias, 64, who he met at his Dark Horse offices in Los Angeles.
'60s It couple: George and Pattie were the toast of the town in the Swinging Sixties; now Dhani has married a lookalike and is making music, just like his dad
Low profile: Dhani lives in Los Angeles but he and wife Sola, who married in June but have dated for years, rarely attend events
Something in the way she moves: Got Dhani up the aisle at Friar Park, his father's Henley-on-Thames pad
The couple married in September 1978, just a month after Dhani was born, and remained happily so until Harrison's death from lung cancer in 2001.
But Dhani and his model turned psychologist wife were the image of George and his first wife, waiflike blonde (and also model) Boyd, as they stood on the red carpet.
George married Pattie in 1966 after meeting her two years earlier on the set of A Hard Day's Night, he went on to write Something - the song Frank Sinatra declared was the best love song ever written - for her as the decade came to a close, it's one of the highlights of 1969's Abbey Road.
But the marriage crumbled and Pattie, 68, went on to marry George's friend, Eric Clapton, in 1979 after developing a close friendship while still married to George.
George wasn't bitter, and attended the wedding party in Tucson, Arizona. Clapton wrote Layla and Wonderful Tonight for Boyd.
Deja vu: Dhani and Sola are the image of his father George and first wife Patti Boyd in the '60s, here pictured in 1966 - the year they were married - they met in '64 on the set of first Beatles film, A Hard Day's Night
Those were the days: Pattie grew close to George's friend Eric Clapton while they were still married but George wasn't bitter and attended their 1079 wedding, two years after his split from Boyd
New family: George married Olivia in 1978 and welcomed Dhani the same year, they met when she was working his production company, Dark Horse, in Los Angeles
There was another rock 'n' roll reunion at George's Henley-on-Thames estate, Friar Park, in June when Dhani married model turned psychologist, Sólveig 'Sola' Káradóttir
Among the celebrity guests at the nuptials were surviving Beatles Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr along with Tom Hanks and Clive Owen.
Paul's fashion designer, Stella, even designed the bride's dress.
The pair live in Los Angeles where the family also had a home while George was alive, they also had a residence in Hawaii.
The late Beatle was cremated at Hollywood Forever cemetery, his ashes were scattered in the Ganges as he requested.
Beautiful Creatures tells the tale of a Southern town with many dark secrets.

Following in his footsteps: Dhani is a musician, just like his father... and also likes to keep a low profile
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Richard LaGravenese (The Fisher King) wrote and directed the haunting coming-of-age story about two teenage star-crossed lovers in a small South Carolina town who uncover dark secrets about their families and their history.

Emmy Rossum, who is the female lead, recently spoke about her tough time shooting in the muggy Louisiana heat at the film’s press junket recently.
She shared: ‘The most challenging scene to shoot for me was at the very end because I was in a massive dress with this tight horrendous corset.
'Basically in a turtle neck dress with all these petticoats in 120 degrees.
‘The dresses were so large, that to transport me and Emma Thompson to the set from the trailers, they had take all of the rows of chairs and seating out of a 15 passenger van and seat us on individual apple boxes one per van and it was 120 degrees.’
Alice Englerttold Just Jared about one section of the film: ‘The Caster Ball was (costume designer) Jeffrey Kurland in his element.
Young stars: The film features a youthful cast
Sheer darling: Emmy Rossum wears some eye-catching ensembles in the new film Beautiful Creatures
Heavy clothing: Alice Englert complained about having to work in the large costumes and hot weather
‘It was one of the hottest days on set and getting through the scene was as mad as the outfits…there was fainting.
'Extravagance and class in the heat of a Louisiana summer… props to Jeffrey.’
The film, based on the acclaimed book, is set to be released in theatres on Valentine's Day.
