Reese Witherspoon has called out Diane Keaton on Instagram for confusing her son, Deacon Phillippe, for a young Leonardo DiCaprio.

Keaton, 75, posted an Instagram video entitled "male beauty" featuring 18-year-old Phillippe as the first image, with the actress narrating the compilation with compliments.

"Talk about beauty, Leonardo DiCaprio," Keaton said. "Give me a break. I knew him when he was a kid."

The professional portrait of Phillippe bears a close resemblance to DiCaprio, 47, and fans agreed in the comments, while some said he looked like a young Heath Ledger.

"I was 100% convinced it was Heath," one person wrote.

Among the other photos in Keaton's male appreciation video were actors John Cassavetes, Robert Pattinson and Clint Eastwood.
