19 Celebrities Who So Many People Had No Idea Had Twin Siblings
Isn’t it true that two are better than one? Whether they are sisters or brothers, fraternal or identical twins, these celebrities share one thing in common: they all have the same birthday as a sibling.
You’ve seen a few of them in movies, from Oscar winner and Bohemian Rhapsody star Rami Malek to everyone’s woman crush, Scarlett Johansson. But there could be someone you’ve been missing all along.
Yes, you have been ignoring their twins unintentionally the entire time. Neither Scarlett nor Malek's twins pursued careers in the movie industry, with Scarlett's twin, Hunter Johansson, opting for a career in politics—he was a campaign advisor for Barack Obama back in 2008.
Rami Malek's twin brother is a school teacher. However, some twins have followed in the footsteps of their famous brother or sister.
There are plenty of famous twins in Hollywood, including the Olsen twins, Disney stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse, and Tia and Tamera Mowry of Sister, Sister. They all rose to stardom as twins in their early days, and their on-screen appearances were a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
It's also surprising that celebrities have fraternal twins, such as Vin Diesel. When I first heard Vin Diesel had a twin brother, I imagined another muscular, bald, and furious guy firing a Dodge Challenger at the speed limit.
It's always exciting to learn more about your favorite celebrity's family. Continue reading to find out about some celebrities you didn't know had fraternal or identical twins.
