PETER Andre’s eldest son Junior could have been mistaken for his dad as he walked the red carpet at the singer’s movie premiere.
Junior, 19, was snapped alongside 52-year-old Peter at the star-studded screening for his new film Jafaican.

Wearing a stonewash denim jacket, white T-shirt and matching jeans, Junior was all smiles as he posed for photographers at the VIP event.
With his jet black hair brushed forwards and an unshaved face, he looked like Peter’s double on the red carpet.
The pair’s resemblance was clear to see as they stood side-by-side at Genesis Cinema in London.
Junior, whose mother is Peter’s ex wife Katie Price, even could have been mistaken for his dad back in his Mysterious Girl era.
Peter was also joined by his eldest daughter Princess, 17, who was also on hand to show her support.
Princess oozed glamour in a sophisticated black jumpsuit with a grey leather jacket slouched over her shoulders and matching thigh-high boots.
In the crime-comedy, which is directed by Fredi Nwaka and is out now in ODEON cinemas, Peter has taken on the role of Gary Buckle.
Gary is a London crook who is risking his life to pull off a heist to cover his nan’s care.
This week, Peter sat down with The Sun to discuss playing conman Gazza, who must master a Caribbean accent and culture to impersonate a notorious Jamaican gangster for a £3million payout.
Chatting in an interview from his Surrey home, he said: “When I read the script, I spent the whole time laughing.
It was warm, with a deep, heartfelt message about what someone would do to care for the person that they love. It was also a beautiful tribute to Jamaica.
“But for me, working on Jafaican has been a dream come true.”
Although he is best known for his singing career, Peter explained how he had trained in acting as a child.
“I studied acting as a kid before going into music from 16, but I always knew I was going to come back to it,” he admitted.
“I always said to my dad, ‘When I get to my 40s, I’m moving back into film, that’s what I want to do’.”
Jafaican has already been met with a heap of positive reviews and Peter is now making plans to star in the sequel.
It comes after he spent two months filming the first instalment in Jamaica, his ‘bucket list’ location, using local crew and businesses to feed money back into the economy.
HITTING BACK
Meanwhile, Peter has also spoken out about the bullying and racism he fell victim to as a Greek-Cypriot growing up in Australia.
His comments came after controversy around cultural identity was sparked over his fake Jamaican accent and dreadlocks when the trailer dropped last month.
“It gave me a deep understanding of what’s truly offensive and what’s not,” Peter said.
“If someone dressed up with a curly wig and a big nose, doing a Greek accent, I’d probably laugh – it depends on the intention.
“But if someone said ‘I hate you Greeks’ or made hateful comments about our skin, that’s where the line is. That’s racism.”
