Natalie Morales

Natalie Morales took a break from her job as anchor on NBC's Today show to reenact scenes from the classic Charlie Chaplin 1921 movie, The Kid. The 29-year old TV host was made up to look like Chaplin while her three-year-old son Luke was dressed up as Jackie Coogan's character. The pair looked to be enjoying themselves as they filmed a promo for the Today show in New York City. Read more here.
