According to VIPživot.cz and Super.cz, Czech actor and moderator Bořek Slezáček shared a photograph on his Instagram profile standing beside his seventeen-year-old son, Kolja, prompting immediate reactions from followers regarding their striking resemblance. The image captures the 59-year-old actor in his signature look featuring a full beard and glasses alongside a clean-shaven, tousled-hair young man whose facial features mirror his father’s from decades prior.
A Resemblance Tracked Across Twelve Years of Public Appearances
The visual parallel between father and son is not a recent phenomenon, with public comparisons spanning over a decade according to VIPživot.cz. The earliest publicly documented side-by-side appearance dates back to February 2014, when a five-year-old Kolja accompanied his father to the premiere of the film Bella a Sebastián, earning labels from journalists as his father’s miniature double. Subsequent public outings, such as a March 2015 audition for the musical Děti ráje reported by VIPživot.cz, drew identical commentary. While physical dimensions have shifted—Super.cz notes that the 17-year-old has officially grown taller than his father—the core facial architecture, including expressive eyes and bone structure, remains unchanged, contrasted only by Bořek’s mature styling versus Kolja’s youthful aesthetic.
Transitioning from Celebrity Child to Behind-the-Scenes Production Studies
For years, media coverage categorized Kolja primarily as a celebrity child accompanying his father to red carpets and television appearances, including a March 2026 mention tied to the show Máme rádi Česko according to VIPživot.cz. However, career trajectories have shifted. In October 2024, Bořek Slezáček revealed to iDNES that his son was studying production at a specialized art high school rather than pursuing acting or directing. This educational focus marks a distinct evolution from earlier years when Bořek noted Kolja’s involvement in singing and acting classes in 2015, or his camera work for home projects like the Shaker show in 2020, pointing toward a future behind the camera.
The Upcoming Film Project Narozeniny as a Collaborative Intersection
Despite focusing on production studies, Kolja stepped in front of the camera alongside his father for the upcoming film Narozeniny, directed by Jan Hřebejk, according to VIPživot.cz. Principal photography for the movie commenced in August 2026, with a theatrical release scheduled in Czech cinemas for May 13, 2027. The project itself originated from an original film script written by Bořek Slezáček, which was first adapted into a theatrical production at Divdir Mír that premiered in October 2024 and drew over 15,000 theatergoers by June 2025 before Hřebejk brought the material back to the silver screen.
