I’m 34 and I look so much like my 64-year-old mother that people think I’ve had plastic surgery to become her twin
A daughter who looks virtually identical to her mother has revealed people think she has had plastic surgery to resemble her lookalike.
Dawn and Cher Hubsher from Florida often make waves because of their uncanny similarities.
The couple, aged 64 and 34 respectively, both have long dark hair and similar facial features – and often play on their similarities by also wearing similar outfits.
In fact, they look so alike that even their husbands have trouble telling them apart.
Cher’s husband Jared Gopman once smacked her Dawn’s behind in an embarrassing case of mistaken identity – despite the 30-year age difference between the mother-daughter duo.
Now Cher is accused of going under the knife in an attempt to look more like her mother.
“As I get older, I think I’m becoming more and more like my mother,” says Cher, a content creator.
“Some people even think I had plastic surgery or work done to look like her. I promise, I didn’t.’

Cher’s husband Jared is a certified plastic surgeon, so it’s understandable that people don’t exactly believe her when she denies these claims.
She said: ‘At least I know what I will look like in 30 years and when I live to be my mother’s age I will never have to go under the knife again.’
The duo’s resemblance has earned them a total of 290,000 fans on Instagram and they’ve even started a podcast called Chattermouth, where they release episodes every #twinningTuesday.
Cher was 16 when people first started comparing her to her mother.
She said: ‘People often compare what I looked like at 16 to what I look like now, assuming I’ve had plastic surgery because I look different, but 18 can bring a lot of changes.’
Cher explained that her hair used to be dyed blonde so she didn’t look much like Dawn.
She continued: ‘Now that I have my natural hair color again, the resemblance is much stronger.
‘People assume there must be plastic surgery involved because we look so alike, but in reality it’s just strong genetics.’

She added, “Don’t get me wrong, I think my mom is absolutely beautiful, but I’m not going to spend thousands and thousands of dollars to look exactly like her.
“By the way, I do that pretty well, and it’s all free.”
Dawn and Cher are often mistaken for sisters – or twins – and it has caused some embarrassing confusions.
On top of the embarrassingly stupid incident, Cher’s friends sometimes confuse them, more often than not realizing who they’re talking to.
Cher said, “People think of us as sisters all the time. One time my mother’s friend talked to her, thinking she was me.”
And it’s even caught the mother-daughter duo themselves a few times.
Cher said: “Sometimes we see a picture of each other and are convinced it’s the other person. It drives us absolutely crazy.
“Somehow, as time goes by, we naturally become more alike.
“My friends love hanging out with her and I think that’s because if you like me, you’ll definitely love my mom.
‘We are so alike in every way – not just because we look alike, but also because we talk and act so alike.’

The mother-daughter duo is so close that Cher invited Dawn to her bachelorette party because she “looked and acted so young.”
The duo’s incredibly close bond even landed them a starring role in TLC’s reality series sMothered, which documents the sometimes-too-close relationships between mothers and daughters.
In the popular reality series Dawn insisted on taking her daughter to a breastfeeding class with a lactation consultant, using a doll to practice the same techniques Cher learned.
Cher, who also appeared in My Super Sweet 16 in 2007, added: ‘I always say I’m so lucky to have a mother and a best friend all in one.
‘We have so much fun together and get along so well.’
