Jenna Bush Hager Traumatized by Seeing Her Stark Resemblance to Her Father Through an Aging TikTok Filter: “Don’t Laugh! I’m a Handsome Woman”

Like father, like daughter. Well, at least according to TikTok.

On this morning’s segment of Today with Hoda and Jenna, co-host Jenna Bush Hager tried out the viral TikTok aging filter, that allows you to take a peek at what you may be seeing in your mirror in a couple decades.

Her co-host Hoda Kotb described the phenomenon as a “realistic glimpse,” one that “ages you using AI.”

As she lifted up her phone to test it out and glimpsed at her filtered face, Bush Hager exclaimed, “Whoa, I look like my dad,” referring to former President George W. Bush.

While Bush Hager was still reeling from this realization, Kotb replied, “You kinda do look like your dad,” chuckling at her co-host’s state of shock.

Bush Hager asked Kotb not to laugh, deeming herself a “handsome woman.”

“I’m having a little bit of trauma,” she added. “We said we didn’t care what we look like but I do care. I’m a very manly older person and that was just, not expected. You look exactly the same and I look like a man.”

While others don’t necessarily have the pleasure of being projected to resemble a previous national leader in their old age, the filter has generated a lot of buzz in its seemingly “very accurate” abilities, per U.S.A. Today. Others have fiddled with the filter on pictures of celebrities, applying it to pictures in their youth and comparing the aged picture to their current self, producing interesting results.

The trend prompted a deeper discussion of getting older and dying, as Bush Hager brought up her conversation with her husband, Henry Chase Hager, from the night before. She had told Henry that one of her favorite artists, Frank Tolbert, had died in his late 70s at age 77. Henry, age 45, then mentioned that he would only have a couple decades left to live if he followed a similar timeline as Tolbert.

Both Kotb and Bush Hager found this a “scary way to look at it,” but Bush Hager found a positive “filter” to see thi sthrough.

“Well I said, ‘How are you going to live them? Do you feel like you’re living them to the fullest?’ And he rolled over.”

She added that there are two options: “think[ing] of each day s a gift” or “think[ing] of that as a sad thing.” The choice is yours.
