Kaia Gerber humbly brushed off claims that she resembles her supermodel mother, Cindy Crawford.
Gerber, 24, addressed the comparisons while promoting her new FX series, The Shards, in an interview uploaded on August 3.
"In all seriousness, it's an honor when people tell me I look like my mom," she gushed. "I wish I did. I think even on my best days, I'm not even close."
Crawford, 60, shares the young star and her brother, Presley, 27, with American businessman Rande Gerber, 64.
'It Means So Much to Me'
Kaia Gerber disagreed with fans who claim she is the spitting image of her mother.
"It means so much to me," the model told Yahoo Entertainment. "I think she is just the most beautiful woman inside and out."
"So if there's any way I remind anyone of her, it's just like the largest compliment," she concluded.
Kaia's likeness to her mother was particularly apparent when she stepped out for the premiere of The Shards in a silver mesh dress, almost identical to one her mom had worn in 1999.
Commenters under a TikTok upload of the interview seemed to disagree with the Palm Royale star's assessment that she bears little resemblance to the iconic supermodel.
Do Fans See the Resemblence?
Kaia Gerber is the daughter of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber.
Many fans chimed in in the comments section to let the actress know that the duo is practically one generation short of being identical twins.
"She clearly resembles her mom, only jealous people say otherwise," one person wrote, with another noting, "I think she looks just like her mom."
"Girl, you look exactly like her. Crazy she can’t see it lol," a third added.
"I love seeing Kaia because of how much she looks like her mama," a fourth person commented. "It’s so amazing to see!"
"She looks more like her mom than her mom looks like her mom," yet another commenter chimed in.

Some fans claimed Cindy Crawford had an 'X-factor' that Kaia Gerber does not.
Others, however, agreed that Kaia could never live up to Cindy's "X-factor."
"You can see the resemblance, but Cindy had that 'X-factor' that not many others have," one commenter pointed out.
"She’s gorg but she’s not the original," another assessed. "Cindy Crawford just had [sparkle]."
"They are both beautiful women. Cindy is an OG Supermodel," a third added. "I always liked her. Kaia is her own beauty."
"Kaia looks like her dad but has her mom’s color features," a fourth explained. "Preston looks like his mom but has his dad’s color features."
Kaia Gerber is working with the son of Cindy Crawford's first husband.
Ironically, the nepo-baby stars alongside her mother's ex-husband's son in her new drama series.
Richard Gere and Cindy were married from 1991 to 1995. Richard's son, Homer Gere, from his second marriage to Carey Lowell, stars opposite Kaia.
Homer spoke out about meeting Kaia for the first time just a few weeks before they began filming.
"Two weeks before, we met at a bar with all the other cast, and we became friends. It’s funny,” he told E! News.
"We just became friends as coworkers before we started working, and she’s become a really close friend," he added. "It’s been lovely working with her."
