Mariska Hargitay Shows Rarely-Seen Son at 17 & Fans Are Divided over Whether He’s a Copy of Mom or Dad
Mariska Hargitay, known for her role in “Law & Order: SVU,” recently shared a rare snapshot on Instagram. The picture features her and her 17-year-old son, August Miklos Friedrich Hermann, during a Safari trip in Kenya. The post stirred up a debate among fans about whom August resembles more—his mom or dad, Peter Hermann.
Many couldn’t help but notice the striking similarities between August and his parents. One fan exclaimed, “You really said copy and paste with August’s face!” while another noted, “August really just went and took Peter’s entire face.”
Mariska fondly recalls traveling with August since he was a baby, showcasing his adventurous spirit. Despite needing to remain seated on flights, August’s curiosity often led him to explore. Mariska jokes, “He’s such a curious and social little guy. I think he was going stir crazy sitting in a chair…”
August is not only curious but also a devoted big brother to his younger siblings, Amaya Josephine Hermann and Andrew Nicolas Hermann. Mariska humorously reflects that August felt incredibly powerful after their successful adoptions, as his wishes for younger siblings had come true.
