Update: Luke Perry has passed away at the age of 52. In a statement, his representative said, he "was surrounded by his children Jack and Sophie, fiancé Wendy Madison Bauer, ex-wife Minnie Sharp, mother Ann Bennett, step-father Steve Bennett, brother Tom Perry, sister Amy Coder, and other close family and friends. The family appreciates the outpouring of support and prayers that have been extended to Luke from around the world, and respectfully request privacy in this time of great mourning. No further details will be released at this time." His children, Jack and Sophie, recently posted tributes to their father on Instagram.

Celebrity kids have been known to follow in the footsteps of their famous parents and enter the acting world. Consider Kate Hudson and mom Goldi Hawn, or Colin Hanks and parents Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. Beverly Hills: 90210 and Riverdale star Luke Perry's son Jack is now 21 years old and also an entertainer, albeit in a very different industry: professional wrestling.

In 2017, Luke Perry attended a professional wrestling match in Los Angeles to support the then-19-year-old Jack, per Yahoo! News. The video from wrestling news site Pro Wrestling Sheet captured the actor sitting in the bleachers. Like any proud parent, he kept his phone out to record his son's match.

We cannot believe that's a grown-up Jack, who goes by "Jungle Boy" Nate Coy in the wrestling world. At the Underground Empire Wrestling match, you can see that the teenager has got some really intense moves, not to mention amazingly long rock-star hair. Look at those curls!

Jack, who is now signed to All Elite Wrestling, has the same the smoldering look that made his dad so famous on 90210 - you get those Dylan McKay vibes when he furrows his brow, as seen below.

But those lion mane locks definitely came from his mother, Luke's ex-wife Rachel "Minnie" Sharp. They make for a very dramatic display in the ring, and help with his jungle persona; note the leafy boots he wears, too. Pretty cool stuff.
