In a hilarious caption, Danielle made the genuinely astute comparison and wrote: "Ok but how does our daughter look like Woody [Harrelson]."

The picture went viral 0n the social media platform and as of this writing, it has garnered 492.4K likes and 27.5K retweets - which certainly got the actor's attention.

Check out the comparison below:

The award-winning actor shared Danielle’s tweet on his Instagram account and responded by writing a poem for the special occasion.

The poem was titled "Ode to Cora" and he wrote: "You're an adorable child/ Flattered to be compared/ You have a wonderful smile/ I just wish I had your hair."

The brilliant post from the Now You See Me actor and father-of-four has amassed over 230k likes on the social media platform, with Mulvenna commenting: "You’ve made our day. Can’t wait to show her this when she’s older, you have another fan for life xxx."

She made sure to share his poem on her Twitter account and wrote: "It's not every day Woody Harrelson writes your daughter a poem."

The Northern Irish mother spoke to Today Parents about her daughter's viral stardom and she revealed that she only noticed the resemblance after a friend pointed it out to her.

"Basically we never saw the resemblance until our friend Chris pointed it out at a BBQ. Then once we took that photo of her laughing it was undeniable," she wrote.

Danielle then said that she and her partner were "so touched" by Harrelson's response, and said that if you’re going to have a celebrity doppelganger Woody was "a great lookalike to have".

The mother-of-one also added she only thought the tweet would get a couple of likes from friends and family but was "blown away" by the reaction online.
