EastEnders fans say same thing as Jack Branning star poses with rarely-seen son

Eastenders star Scott Maslen caused a stir on social media when he shared a rare video appearance of him and his lookalike son Zak.

As the happy pair enjoyed a pint in Barcelona, fans were quick to point out the uncanny resemblance between the father and son.

Fands rushed to comment on how Zak, now 22 years old, looks increasingly like his famous actor dad, who plays Jack Branning on the BBC soap.

In the video, posted on the Walford copper star's Instagram account, the duo are seen sipping on their drinks and posing for the camera at a Spanish pub.

Maslen captioned the clip: "Beers with the boy in Barcelona."

Fans flooded the comments section, with one gushing: "He is your double," while another wrote: "As Zak's got older he's even more like Scott."

A third fan echoed the sentiment, saying: "Love this, your son looks the spitting image of you."

While Scott's character Jack Branning on the long-running BBC One soap EastEnders may be going through a rough patch, with his on-screen wife Denise Fox having an affair, Scott's personal life seems to be quite the opposite.

The star is also known for his love of fishing and often shares photos of his catches on his Instagram page, where fans have also commented on his striking resemblance to Zak.

Scott and his wife Estelle are clearly head over heels in love after tying the knot in 2008, but they actually met almost 20 years ago when they watched the total eclipse of the sun in Primrose Hill in 1999.

Scott and Estelle often share photos of their family vacations in Ibiza, where Estelle works as a DJ.

When he's not working, Maslen loves nothing more than escaping to the countryside and often shares photos of his catches, accompanied by a huge grin.

And with his chiselled pecs and washboard stomach, Maslen could certainly give his EastEnders alter-ego, Jack Branning, a run for his money in the hot bod stakes.

Maslen's Instagram page is also full of adorable photos of the family dog, Chewbacca.

In one post, he wrote: "#TheLastJedi chilling with my very own Princess Leia and a very smelly Chewbacca."
