When a clip from the interview was shared on TikTok, fans immediately rushed to comment on the similarities between the actress and her famous mum Pamela Adlon, who voices Bobby from King Of The Hill.
One wrote: “SHE SOUNDS JUST LIKE HER MUM!”
Someone else said: “I was thinking her mannerisms are ALL her mom, it’s wild.”
And one follower replied: “Yep, her mother is Pamela Adlon.”
Pamela, 59, has voiced Bobby Hill in King of the Hill since the show’s debut in 1997.
She has also voiced a number of other famous characters such as Ashley Spinelli in Recess.
Pamela made her acting debut in Grease 2, with other on-screen roles in Californication and Boston Legal.
She was also nominated for an Emmy for her performance in FX series Better Things, which she co-wrote and starred in for five seasons, appearing alongside comic Louis C.K.
Pamela is clearly proud of her daughter following in her showbiz footsteps, sharing an excited Instagram post about Odessa’s role in Marty Supreme.
“By the gods!!!!! I’m the mom——imagine…? I CAN’T handle. My little girly-poo did this,” read her caption as she shared the film trailer on her social media profile.
“She has always manifested like a motherfucker (also…she is very extremely talented) CONGRATULATIONS ODESSA! I can’t wait see this movie!”
Odessa stars in Marty Supreme as Rachel, the childhood sweetheart of Timothee Chalamet’s character Marty Mauser.
The film has opened to rave reviews and debuted on Rotten Tomatoes with an impressive 94% rating.

The up-and-coming actress also plays Tallulah Stiel in new HBO series I Love LA alongside Rachel Sennott.
Odessa recently opened up about landing her role in Marty Supreme – and confessed she was worried about the release being so close to I Love LA.
She told Time: “Marty Supremewas really the first time that I felt like, oh my God, this is the exact role that I’ve always wanted to play.
“I know sometimes people get annoyed when they see someone’s face too much.
“I didn’t know if it was going to be too much at the same time with the show and the movie. I didn’t want to throw people off.”

Anna Kournikova

These days the reclusive tennis icon lives a normal life being a mum to her four kids.
The turning point for the Russian beauty appears to have been when she found love with latin heartthrob Enrique Iglesias.
They met in 2001 on the set of his “Escape” music video and have been together ever since.
She also said she felt at times like her good looks stood in the way of her game. She previously said: “Being in the spotlight since I was a child was really hard.
“I did feel pressure when people were saying things like, ‘You’re too pretty, you can’t play,’ or whatever.
“I would get so nervous and get anxiety on the court, I wouldn’t be able to move.”

The screen siren, 56, quit acting in the early 2000s after a battle with addiction that followed her rise to fame in the 90s.
Studios and directors blacklisted her when she relapsed after leaving a rehab clinic and ended up getting arrested in 2001 when police found cocaine in her car following a crash.
While she was in rehab she met strip club owner Paul Cerrito and the pair tied the knot in August 2002.
The couple now split their time between LA and Scottsdale, Arizona.
In 2013, Yasmine remarked: “Consciously trying to stay off drugs is now part of my life and always will be.”
Bridget Fonda

Bridget Fonda has not been seen in a movie role since 2002.
In 1997 she played Melanie in Quentin Tarantino’s action caper Jackie Brown, landing the role after sitting next to him on a plane.
Bridget, also famed for her role in Single White Female, simply claimed the reason she had shunned the spotlight was because she has now surrendered to her “civilian” life.
She won three major awards during her career – two Golden Globes and an Emmy.
Her last acting credit was as the titular character in the 2002 made-for-television film Snow Queen.
Following her retirement, Bridget suffered injuries from a bad car accident in which she fractured her back in 2003.
According to BBC, Bridget was alone in her Jaguar when the vehicle careened over a divider on the Pacific Coast Highway, experiencing “a slight fracture of two thoracic vertebrae.”
She reportedly only survived because she was wearing a seatbelt.
The star did return to the red carpet once in 2009 when she attended the premiere of Quentin Tarantino film Inglorious Bastards.
Bridget is part of the famous Fonda family, which also includes her grandfather – Oscar-winner Henry Fonda of Once Upon A Time In The West – and actress and fitness icon Jane Fonda, 88, who is Bridget’s aunt.
But it didn’t take long before Bridget’s career took off with speed as she starred in The Godfather Part III in 1990.
She was photographed for the first time in over a decade in 2022 and looked a world away from her acting heyday.
Hayden Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere rose to fame on NBC superhero drama Heroes, but her other credits included Nashville, Malcolm in the Middle and Ally McBeal.
Hayden, who played a struggling pop star in drama Nashville in 2012, fell from the spotlight after she turned to the bottle to cope with post-partum depression.
The star also took opioid painkillers to deal with a neck injury which left her in “a lot of pain”, she “mixed” them with alcohol, and they became a “problem”.
Hayden underwent her first stint in rehab in 2015 while still filming for hit show Nashville, before deciding to leave fame behind.
And when she failed to stop drinking the first time round, she returned for treatment in 2021, enrolling in a 12-month programme.
It took eight months of “intensive therapy” to help Hayden get better.
In 2023 she was seen in her first acting role since her struggles, as she reprised her character Kirby Reed in horror film Scream VI.
Hayden also opened up for the first time about her battle with addiction as she recalled her rise to fame on Heroes.
While fans loved her character Claire Bennett, off-screen Hayden was battling some dark demons.
She revealed in the interview that her addiction began with what she called “happy pills,” alleging that she was first offered them before red carpet appearances at just 15 years old.
She told PEOPLE: “They were to make me peppy during interviews, I had no ideas this was not an appropriate thing, or what door that would open for me when it came to my addiction.
“My saving grace is that I couldn’t be messy while on set and working.
“But things kept getting out of control [off set]. And as I got older, the drugs and alcohol became something I almost couldn’t live without.”
Elaine Lordan

EastEnders beauty Elaine Lordan played legendary character Lynne Hobbs from 2000 to 2004.
But Elaine was convicted of drink-driving after consuming five vodkas in 2004, resulting in a one-year driving ban and her departure from the soap.
At the time, a source said: “It was decided to make the changes after she had a few problems with drinking. It has been done to help her rather than to punish her.”
She then left the soap in 2005 and her life took a tragic turn, when her mother died by suicide at the age of 62.
Nine months later, Elaine suffered another tragedy with the death of her one-year-old son James.
He had breathing difficulties caused by a condition known as diaphragmatic hernia and died just three days after Elaine married his father, former BBC technician Peter Manuel.
She became pregnant again in 2007 but miscarried shortly afterwards. The following year, her father died.
Elaine appeared on I’m A Celebrity in 2005 but was forced to leave after fainting twice on the first day and being airlifted out.
She then largely disappeared from public view, although in 2018 she was seen drinking mini bottles of wine on the street before midday.
She was last pictured in 2020 looking far healthier while out jogging with her husband.
A GROUP of office workers were left shocked when they learned their colleague is a former child star, and had a role in an iconic festive film.
The actor now keeps a low profile working as a Logistics Manager for the upcoming 2026 Commonwealth Games, which will take place in Glasgow. But do you recognise him?

Office workers had the highlight of their week when they realised their colleague is a former child starCredit: tiktok@commonwealthsportJoe Lane was left mortified when his co-workers realised he was in the Nativity! movie back in 2009Credit: tiktok@commonwealthsportJoe portrayed Edward, one of the key characters in the hit film NativityCredit: Lionsgate
He portrayed schoolboy Edward in the film, which is centred around a heartbroken primary school teacher’s journey to make his class’s nativity play reach Hollywood, and win his ex-girlfriend back in the process.
In a TikTok shared by Joe’s colleagues, the former actor was left red-faced when they figured out his famous past.
The clip showed Joe, dressed in a Christmas jumper and a festive headband, as he is shaken by his colleagues.
It then cuts to clips of him in the movie, before his colleagues recreate a hilarious moment by his character Edward.
Joe’s starring moment in the film saw him take to the microphone during the final Nativity performance and impersonate fart sounds with his armpit.
The former child star had his head in his hands when his co-workers cornered him at his desk and re-enacted the funny moment in the TikTok video.
“When you find out your colleague was in the nativity films,” read the video, with the caption adding: “The most exciting office development this week”.
The film was cast by producers holding open calls for local kids in Coventry, with the aim to use non-professional actors for an authentic feel.
After appearing in the first movie, Joe appears to have steered away from continuing an acting career.
He went on to become a semi-professional rugby player, before moving into logistics for sporting events.
Coventry-born Joe is now living in Glasgow after spending time in Australia and London.
It appears he has been keen to keep his famous past under wraps in the workplace.
One TikTok user commented on the video to reveal that they had previously worked with Joe, and had no clue of the connection.
“I worked with Joe at Coventry Rfc and unless I was out of the loop he kept this very well hidden!” they said.
Another commenter joked “So he didn’t become shrek??”, referencing the scene in Nativity! where character Mr. Poppy told Edward, “You could be Shrek”.

Cadi Mullane, who played Crystal – one of the main children in the film – previously detailed what filming was like in a TikTok video.
She said: “I was part of an agency called Stagecoach, they were looking for kids who were really chatty, who could dance a little bit and sing a little bit. Apparently that was me.
“There was about seven auditions. But I’m from Wales so I had to keep travelling up to London which was a bit annoying, but it was OK because I really wanted to be in a film.
“They looked at how well we could sing and how well we got on with the other kids, cause that was important, obviously.”
Cadi went on to recall how the movie filmed throughout the summer, with no scripts for the children.
She said: “It was filmed in Coventry but obviously I’m not from Coventry so we all stayed in a hotel together. It was like The Suite Life Of Zach and Cody, honestly.
“There was no scripts. Everything was improvised, except from some bits. We basically just spoke loads of rubbish, and then we were asked to say it again on camera.”
