Seeing double. Christopher Meloni’s son, Dante, is all grown up and is the spitting image of his famous father. In 2022, the “Man of Steel” actor took to Instagram to celebrate Dante on his 18th birthday by sharing a sweet snapshot of the pair standing close with their arms around each other. “18 today. I love you young man — heart and soul and everything in between,” Meloni wrote in a caption under the post. While some were quick to wish Dante a happy birthday, others could not help but notice the striking resemblance between the handsome duo, with one commenter penning, “Goddamn Stabler, He Looks Just Like You Man,” referring to Melone’s character on “SUV.” Meanwhile, another fan wrote, “Looks just like him with hair!”
Of course, this isn’t the only time that fans of Meloni have pointed out how closely he and his son resemble each other. After the actor shared a new snap of the pair on Instagram in January 2023, in celebration of Dante’s 19th birthday, many of his followers described the boy as his clone. “TWINS!!” exclaimed one fan, while another said, “You do you definitely look just like your dad” A third commenter agreed, saying, “Wow, he does look like you! Good looking boy Chris!”
