Mike Holmes' Son Is Following In Dad's Work Boots

Turns out they share way more than a name.

Celebrity Canadian contractor Mike Holmes and his son share more than a name. Mike Holmes Jr. not only looks like his dad, but he also knows how to swing a hammer. The father-son duo have even teamed up for a new show "Holmes and Holmes."

In the show, the two renovate a bungalow for Mike Jr. and his girlfriend. They also challenge each other on important father-son traditions, like grilling steak and driving nails.

Turns out they are both Leos (and very stubborn). They definitely have a special connection and share a love of a good pun.

In the show, Mike Jr. proves he can definitely hold his own with his dad, and isn't afraid to tease him.

It seems a strong father-son bond runs in the Holmes' family. On his website, Mike Sr. credits his dad for the work that he does: "In my eyes, he was Superman. I talk about my dad all the time…sometimes I get the feeling I talk about him too much, but he is the inspiration behind what I do, for sure.”

In fact Holmes' iconic earring is a tribute to his father, who tragically passed away at the age of 55.

Only 1 more hour until the premiere of #HolmesAndHolmes! Tune into @hgtvcanada at 10pm!
