Wow! Genetics are crazy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;What is it like for me to play you?&#8221; Daxton asked in the sweet clip. &#8220;It&#8217;s actually a little strange,&#8221; Donny admitted. &#8220;When you were up here singing and doing certain mannerisms, it&#8217;s really weird, but I used to do the same things. I watched you and I said, &#8216;Wow, that is me 50 years ago!'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fans were also stunned by the uncanny resemblance. &#8220;I was at your show in Vegas in April, loved this part so much.
