Everyone is saying the same thing about Coco Austin’s latest video featuring her daughter Chanel: that the 8-year-old looks just like her dad Ice-T! The model and actress’s new video is going viral on TikTok for the father-daughter duo’s striking resemblance.

The TikTok is Chanel’s take on a popular social media trend. As Muni Long sings “Twin. Where have you been? Nobody knows me like you do,” in the popular clip of her song “Made for Me,” people often show their significant others or best friends or pets. But Chanel’s version of the trend shows her dad as her “twin,” and it’s so true.

“Had to hop on this #viralvideo train..” Austin captioned the clip on TikTok Sunday. Chanel is dressed in a white “Los Angeles” t-shirt with paisley pants as she lip synchs to this song in the living room. Chanel walks over to her dad, who is pretending to be asleep in the recliner, and he pops awake just in time to lip synch to “Nobody knows me like you do!”

After a few seconds, Ice-T grabs his daughter and pulls her onto his lap. He gives her a quick kiss and smiles as she gives the camera two thumbs up. They are adorable together — and their face cards are identical. (See the cute TikTok clip here.)

“They really are twins tho! That’s a straight up baby Ice T! 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️” one person commented. Someone else asked, “Were Coco’s genes even in the room??” I mean, fair question!

Someone else joked, “Ice made this kid on his own. This is the definition of copy/paste. She’s such a cutie.”

In an interview with PEOPLE last August, the rapper opened up about allowing Chanel to make TikToks. “It’s fun and she likes doing it. If she didn’t, we definitely wouldn’t do it,” he said. “When Chanel was born, we got her social media because we knew that we were gonna be the parents that were gonna show a hundred pictures of their kid because we were proud.” She’s so cute, we completely get it!

Ice-T added, “We just feel like we’re sharing something that makes us happy. Now, at some point, Chanel might say Daddy or Mommy, I don’t want to be on social media and we’ll stop. But she’s a normal kid. She wants to do her TikToks and her Reels.”

These celebrity dads have the sweetest bonds with their daughters.
