Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr's son is growing up so fast – and he's the spitting image of one of his famous parents after debuting a new haircut. 

Sarah was the picture of a proud mother in rare new photos with her teen son, Rocky, who has taken up a passion for race car driving. "Race weekend with my boys," the Buffy the Vampire actress captioned a collection of snaps with her son and husband from their day on the race track. 

Sporting the same buzzcut Freddie rocked back in the early 2000s, fans couldn't help but notice the 14-year-old bore an uncanny resemblance to his dad.

"Little mini me of Freddie! Adorable," one person wrote in the comments section, while others remarked that Rocky was the "spitting image" of his father and could be his "twin". 

"Woahhh copy and paste," someone else said of the notable resemblance.

Days earlier, Freddie revealed his son had gotten a "new haircut", sharing several photos of Rocky geared up in his racing uniform.

Sarah and Freddie are supporting Rocky's dreams

While his parents are both in Hollywood, it seems Rocky is pursuing his dream of racing cars and has been competing in the sport, launching an Instagram account to document his journey on the grid. 

Sarah gushed that she was "ecstatic" seeing her son in his element behind the wheel, sharing a video of him speeding around the track in April. "Showing our kids that they can achieve their dreams is one of the most important jobs as a parent," the actress captioned the post.

"Rocky’s dream is @f1. Watching him on the road (literally and figuratively) makes me truly ecstatic."

Sarah and Freddie's parenting approach

Sarah and Freddie, who are also parents to a 17-year-old daughter named Charlotte, tend to keep their two children relatively out of the spotlight while growing up. 

Speaking to HELLO! on the red carpet of her film Ready or Not 2: Here I Come in London in March, Sarah, who has starred in her fair share of horror films over the years, opened up about how she handles her mature film catalogue with her kids.

"The violence is there for the sake of comedy. It's not reality," she told us. "And so I do think that we have to separate what kind of violence. As a parent, it's our job to parent and to know what your child is OK seeing and what they understand is entertainment and what is real. And if your child has trouble differentiating, then as a parent, you say this movie is not for you."

She added: "And if your child understands this is ridiculous and silly, you don't really put people in a washing machine, then you can see the movie."
