Opening suggestion: Martin Sheen and son Charlie Sheen in Wall Street, and in real life.

A one-shot would suffice here, no? What does the lower pic tell us about their relationship?

[up]I agree. The upper picture with the suggested caption would be enough.

^^ They're clearly aged in the lower picture, so it emphasizes that they have a bond years later and are not simply two unrelated people who were subject to Separated-at-Birth Casting. However, you're right that a caption could also do that work, as it's part of the image. Example:

A father and son played by a father and son.

I think either works.

^^ In retrospect, I think I'll agree with that.

I think we need a dvd cover of that movie or something other wise it's just a picture of two people.

They do resemble each other, so it's not just two random people.

Also, the caption is allowed to help.

But that's a good point about the second frame, "it emphasizes that they have a bond years later". (They look more alike in that picture, too.) Maybe the double-tall one is better.

Either really works. Counting dual votes for each, that's 8-5 for the OP-9. Since there have been no other suggestions besides the Sheens, is this good enough to call?

It's up and tagged. Since we already settled on a caption, it looks like we're done here.
