“My dad at age 33, me at age 3, and me at age 34, my son at 3 on the right” – Man shares photos taken 30 years apart
A man going by the name Fred Smith posted two pictures of himself, his father, and his son on Facebook. Despite being several years apart, all three of them had a striking similarity.
“Photos taken 30 years apart: me at age 34 and my son at age 3, and my dad at age 33 and me at age 3 on the left.” was the caption on the post.
The man disclosed that the first, slightly grainy image he posted was of him with his father and a younger version of himself when he was just three years old.
He shared a picture of himself online thirty years later, appearing much older and almost exactly the same as his father did in the original image.
Additionally, he shared a picture with his 3-year-old son, who bears a strong resemblance to him in the second photo.
The striking similarities in the two photos stunned many social media users, leading them to flood the comment section with reactions.
