Deacon Phillippe looked the like spitting image of his actor father as he stepped out in Los Angeles this week.
The 20-year-old — whose is the only son of Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon — was spotted enjoying a shirtless hike on Tuesday at a popular hiking trail.
With his abs and toned arms on display, Deacon completed his workout outfit with black patterned shorts, socks and Adidas sneakers.
He was plugged into his iPhone, which he kept in his right short pocket as he strolled the paved terrain.
Deacon is enjoying the summer in LA before returning to New York City in the fall to continue his college education.

He is currently studying music at New York University and lives in a two-level apartment with pals in pricey West Village.
Reese and Ryan met on set of Cruel Intentions in 1998 and wed the following year.
After six year of marriage, they separated in October 2006. Their divorce was finalized in 2008.
Along with Deacon, Reese and Ryan also share 24-year-old daughter Ava.
Deacon has been spending quality time with both of his A-list parents since returning to LA this summer.
On Monday night, the NYU student enjoyed an upscale dinner with dad Ryan and pals at a steakhouse in Glendale, California.
Ryan gave fans a look at their bonding time by sharing photos to his Instagram Story.
One photo showed the blonde duo sitting side-by-side in a booth as Deacon held a knife ready to cut into his delicious steak.
Deacon — who boasts nearly 460,000 Instagram followers — did not share the father-son photo to his own account.

Over the weekend, Deacon soaked up the 'summer nights' with mom Reese near home in Brentwood.
She documented their bonding time in a photo slideshow shared to Instagram on Friday.
The Legally Blonde star uploaded two portraits of herself and her son hanging out by the ocean.
'Summer nights with this guy are the best @deaconphillippe,' Reese gushed in the caption.
The previous night, Reese took Deacon as her date to the premiere of her Big Little Lies co-star Zoë Kravitz's new psychological thriller film Blink Twice in LA.
They walked the red carpet together inside the DGA Theater Complex.
Reese looked ultra chic in a black pantsuit while her son kept it casual-cool in a blue velour polo, cream pants and Adidas sneakers.
Deacon will be starting his third year of college in just a few weeks.
He graduated from Mountain High School in June 2022 and began studying at NYU that fall.

After spending freshman year in a dorm, Deacon moved into a pricey apartment in the West Village with two of his close friends.
Deacon faced online backlash last year after showing off his luxurious abode on TikTok.
He allowed TikTok star Caleb Simpson to showcase the interior of his two-story apartment for a now-viral video.
Many slammed Deacon as a 'nepo baby' and 'trust fund kid' as they felt the apartment was unrealistic for the average 20-something college student.
Along with studying music, Deacon is also an aspiring actor.
He made his TV acting debut in Netflix's Never Have I Ever in 2022.
He appeared on two-episodes of the comedy-drama series created by The Office alum Mindy Kaling.
