Jada Pinkett Smith says she wants to grow up to look just like her mom - and she is not the only one.
The 43-year-old actress posted a picture on Facebook of her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones in a bikini over the weekend, and the grandmother's beach body puts even those a third of her age to shame.
Adrienne is 61 but amazingly sported a six pack - clearly a pack for every decade she's been alive.
Emerging from the water, Jada's mother showed off her amazing physique in orange bikini bottoms and a patterned underwire top.
Hinting to her wild past, the grandmother also showed off her tattoo located high up on her toned and terrific legs.
While most people would be horrified for the world to see their mother in a bikini, Jada could not be more proud.
The Gotham star wrote: 'Willow took this shot of her grandmother, my mother, emerging from the ocean today. She is 61! I wanna be her when I grow up.'
And Jada is well on her way to doing so, as the mother of two - Willow, 14, and Jaden, 16 - also has a fantastic bikini figure which no doubt she got to show off too while the family celebrated Thanksgiving in Jamaica.
While having a lot of fun as a family, the star did post a very serious Thanksgiving message on Friday saying she was thinking of the late Michael Brown's family and also football star Ray Rice's wife Tamir - whom he assaulted.
'I'm having Thanksgiving this year in the land of which my grandmother was born...Jamaica.
'I'm deeply grateful this Thanksgiving, but there will be prayer at my dinner table tonight for the Brown family, the family of Tamir Rice and all the men and women we have lost to violence.'
The star posted a picture of her and her family - which included Will Smith, their children Willow and Jaden and Will's son Trey - enjoying their turkey feast on the sand.
While Jada's mother had blessed her with great genetics, Adrienne did not bless Jada with a smooth childhood.
The actress' mother and grandmother raised Jada after Adrienne found out she was pregnant when she was just sixteen.
It was Jada's grandmother who largely looked after the young star as Adrienne battled severe drug addiction for the first 18 years of her daughter's life.
Jada sadly went on to follow on her mother's footsteps admitting she too had suffered from a number of addictions.
Last year the Karate Kid star declared on Facebook that when she was young, she was 'not a good problem solver, meaning I had a very difficult time with dealing with my problems in life. I had many addictions, of several kinds, to deal with my life issues.'
She added, 'Today, at 42, I have my wisdom, my heart and my conscience as the only tools to overcome life's inevitable obstacles.' She then said, 'I have become a good problem solver with those tools, and I am damn proud.'
