Mom Recreates Celebrity Parents' Photos And It's Totally Hilarious

Australian Comedian Mum Recreates Celebrity Instagram Pics

A hilarious mom is poking fun at celebrity parents by recreating their Instagram photos with an added dose of reality.

Celeste Barber is an Australian actor, writer and comedian, who has two sons under the age of 6 and two teenage stepdaughters. As such, she knows a thing or two about parenting exhaustion ... and how to find humor in it.

Barber reenacts celebrity Instagram pics, magazine photos and product ads to highlight how far they fall from her reality as a mom and “normal” person.

“I just wanted to make people laugh,” the mom told The Huffington Post. “I like to make fun of myself.”

Barber’s hilarious Instagram account has reached over a million followers and counting. She said she hopes her followers, particularly those who are parents, realize that “being normal is awesome.”

“It can be pretty hard to just get through a day sometimes,” she added. “I hope mums get a laugh out of my stuff while doing the washing, cooking dinner, helping with homework, satisfying partners and necking a cleanskin.” (For non-Aussie readers, we’ve been informed that “necking a cleanskin” refers to drinking cheap wine straight from the bottle).
