‘Party animal’ Reese Witherspoon brings lookalike son Deacon Phillippe to the 2024 Golden Globes post divorce

Reese Witherspoon strolled the Golden Globes red carpet with her lookalike son, Deacon Phillippe, on Sunday, and her doppelgänger revealed that his mom is quite the “party animal.”

“This is my first Golden Globes and really my first awards show so I am very excited,” the 20-year-old told Variety while his proud mama looked on.

Phillippe, an actor and singer, seemed at ease on the red carpet, possibly thanks to advice from his mom on prepping for one of Hollywood’s biggest nights.

“So there’s two main things,” Phillippe explained. “Gum, hand sanitizer and be nice to everyone.”

He also jokingly revealed one of the perks of stepping out with the 47-year-old “Legally Blonde” actress for the awards ceremony is that he has no “curfew.”

“Curfew? I don’t know,” Phillippe said. “We’ll see. I’m following her tonight. She’s the party animal and so I’m just going to try and keep up.”
