Louis Gershon

Daniel Radcliffe discovers he bears a striking resemblance to his great great grandfather in his upcoming episode of Who Do You Think You Are? as he embarks on a journey to discover his roots. At the beginning of his quest, the 29-year-old Harry Potter actor drops by to see a relative to see whether they can assist him with learning about his great great grandfather Louis Gershon. As he seeks more information, his family member pulls out a portrait of Louis and is stunned to see how similar they look, telling Daniel: ‘Now if you look at Louis Gershon and you look at Daniel Radcliffe, there is not much difference.’ ‘That’s not a million miles away,’ Daniel says in agreement, not long before finding that Louis was a victim do a Hatton Garden robbery. ‘You look more like him than I do and I’m named after him,’ the relative quips in disbelief. ‘Look at you, it’s the same face.’ Daniel Radcliffe holds up a portrait of his great great grandfather on Do You Think You Are?

I mean around the eyes and the eyebrows, that’s where I get them from. ‘That’s really remarkable.’ If only if he didn’t have all that facial hair, eh?
