By Paula Tudoran 2 years ago

1. Vin Diesel and Paul Vincent

We bet you didn't know this: Vin Diesel, the actor best known for his roles in the "Fast and the Furious" movies, has a twin brother. His name is Paul Vincent and Vin Diesel first mentioned him in a 2014 Facebook post where he uploaded a picture of his twin standing close to his on-screen brother, Paul Walker.

2. Scarlett and Hunter Johansson

Despite being identical twins, these two have a significant difference: Hunter's 12 inches taller than Scarlett. Hunter has acted in the past but hasn't worked on many entertainment ventures in recent years. Instead, he's worked in politics, serving as a community organizer in Manhattan and on President Obama's 2008 campaign.

3. Laverne Cox and M. Lamar

Laverne Cox's transgender character Sophia in Orange Is The New Black has made headlines several times. M. Lamar, Cox's identical twin brother, played Marcus when the show wanted to show more of Sophia's background when the character was still coming out as trans. Despite competition from other males, Lamar was chosen for the part after casting discovered that Cox had a twin.

4. Michael and Ashton Kutcher

Ashton Kutcher is well-known to everyone, but not many people know he has a twin brother. Michael Kutcher is also famous! While he suffers from cerebral palsy and received a heart transplant when he was 13 years old, he works in sales and gives inspirational speeches to young people with disabilities.

5. Eva Green and Joy Green

"Penny Dreadful" star Eva Green has a twin sister named Joy Green. Eva followed their actress mother's footsteps, but Marlène Jobert, her sister, went in a different direction and now owns her own wine firm. According to Eva, her sister lives in Italy, is married to an Italian count, and is the happy version of her.

6. Gisele Bundchen and Patricia Bundchen

Gisele Bundchen is one of the world's most famous supermodels, so when it came out that she has a twin sister who does not walk the catwalk, people's immediate response was shock. It'd be like Michael Jordan having an identical brother who couldn't dribble to save his life. Patricia Bundchen definitely has her sister's genetic skills, despite the fact that she chooses to pursue a career behind the scenes in the field of modeling.

7. Tia and Tamera Mowry

These women look so similar that they practically starred in a sitcom called "Sister, Sister," which was a favorite of those who grew up in the '90s. While Tamera co-hosts the chat show The Real these days, Tia has recurring appearances on "Rosewood and Mistresses."

8. Kiefer Sutherland and Rachel Sutherland

Kiefer and Rachel Sutherland were born in London in 1966 to actor Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas. The twins spent most of their formative years in Canada with their mother, where the famously rowdy Kiefer acknowledges he was a handful. It's well documented that he led a tumultuous existence for a significant portion of his life, and while we know very little about his identical twin, we do know she chose a life away from the spotlight.

9. Giovanni Ribisi and Marissa Ribisi

Marissa Ribisi, Giovanni Ribisi's twin sister, is likely the most well-known of the "mysterious" twins on this list. She had a short acting career in the 1990s and was mostly known for her appearance as Cynthia in "Dazed and Confused," who prompted McConaughey's Wooderson to state, "I love those redheads, man." She founded Whitley Kros, married rapper Beck, and has two children with him; however, we have a feeling that what McConaughey said will be what sticks with her for the rest of her life.

10. Jason and Jeremy London

Both those identical twin brothers have been in well-known films and television shows, with Jason as Randall in the cult classic "Dazed and Confused" and Jeremy in "Mallrats," "7th Heaven," and "Party of Five." Seems like although you're a twin, Hollywood can offer more chances to only one of the pair.

11. Aaron and Angel Carter

The Carter family's dynamic remains one of the most tumultuous in the music industry. Aaron may be known as Backstreet Boy Nick Carter's younger brother, but did you know he has a twin sister? While her brother pursued a musical career, Angel Carter chose to model.

12. Alanis Morissette and Wade Morissette

Alanis and her twin, Wade, share much more than their looks. While Alanis is well-known for her musical skills, Wade is also a musician, novelist, therapist, and yoga instructor. So far, the crunchy granola aura appears to be the twins' most common characteristic, but let's not hurry. Because, due to the internet's all-seeing eye, there is one final, somewhat strange, analogy here: Wade looks just like Alanis' ex-boyfriend Dave Coulier. Can you believe that? Pretty weird!

13. Charlotte and Samantha Ronson

Charlotte Ronson, the renowned fashion designer, and Samantha, her twin sister, a musician and DJ, were born in London, England, on August 1977. But they are not the only famous people in the family! Mark, their brother (who is not a twin), is a musician and producer who worked on Lady Gaga's albums.

14. Dylan and Cole Sprouse

You might not recognize this twin pair right away, but any child in your family will remember them as Dylan and Cole Sprouse, a.k.a. the twins from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody." Since the end of their successful Disney series in 2008, the two have focused on their education, graduating together in 2015 from New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study.

15. Joseph Fiennes and Jacob Fiennes

The Fiennes family has a long history in the show business. Ralph Fiennes, the Academy Award-nominated star, is family to twin brothers Joseph and Jacob Fiennes. Joseph, like Ralph, is a Hollywood actor best known for his roles as Shakespeare in "Love and Commander Fred Waterford in The Handmaid's Tale." On the other hand, Jacob chose not to be an actor and instead works as a gamekeeper in England.

16. Aaron and Shawn Ashmore

These two brothers have such similar features that it's difficult to tell them apart! The brothers are Canadian (obviously) and active in the acting domain, with Aaron having appeared in "Smallville" and Shawn having starred in several successful "X-Men" movies.

17. Karen and Kate Elson

Karen Elson, the renowned model and singer, has a twin sister named Kate. Kate is also a successful model and filmmaker, but you won't find much about her. People say that while they are used to seeing Karen more and love her, Kate has a somewhat more oriental look that's kinda mysterious.

18. Jenna Bush Hager and Barbara Pierce Bush

You may be familiar with their names, but did you know they are twins? Jenna has worked as a correspondent for NBC Nightly News and as Southern Living (yes, that magazine) editor-at-large. At the same time, Barbara has focused her efforts on philanthropy, collaborating with the Human Rights Campaign to legalize homosexual marriage.

19. Jon Heder and Dan Heder

Did you know that Napoleon Dynamite has a twin? Well, maybe he doesn't, but the actor that plays him, Jon Heder, certainly does. Since his appearance in the cult classic, Jon has had a successful acting career. His brother Dan is also a prominent film producer, having worked in the visual effects department on films such as "Guardians of the Galaxy," "Avengers: Endgame," and "San Andreas."

20. Rami and Sami Malek

Rami is a rising television sensation who stars in "Bohemian Rhapsody," and the critically acclaimed drama "Mr. Robot," while his identical twin brother Sami works as an educator in Los Angeles. In 2019, Rami brought Sami to the Golden Globes, surprising fans who were unaware the actor has a twin. Despite his participation in the awards ceremony, Sami prefers his teacher career rather than an entertainment one.

21. Linda Hamilton and Leslie Hamilton Gearren

The best thing about having a twin is that you can swap places - like in "The Parent Trap." Now, "Terminator" actress Linda Hamilton, who required a physical double for the film, turned to her sister, Leslie Hamilton Gearren, for help. Gearren is a nurse who does not act; however, she does appear as her sister's double in three moments in "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."

22. Jill Hennessy and Jacqueline Hennessy

Image Source: reddit.com

Jill Hennessy is a known public personality, having been on two immensely successful shows, "Law & Order" and "Crossing Jordan." This is said to be an issue for her twin, Jacqueline, a Tv journalist and writer living in Toronto, who apparently is a private person. Jacqueline, like Dan Heder, is frequently the target of disbelieving admirers who "think it's really Jill Hennessy just being really bitchy!" according to Jill.

23. Alexandra Paul and Caroline Paul

Image Source: reddit.com

Alexandra Paul, the Baywatch star, and her twin sister seem indistinguishable, but that is about where their similarities end. Alexandra is an actress, of course, and Caroline is a white-water rafter who worked as a firefighter. She's also a New York Times best-selling novelist who once published an essay that featured a story about how they played a "twin switch" on director John Carpenter on the set of "Christine."

24. Nicholas Brendon and Kelly Donovan

Image Source: reddit.com

Not only are both twin brothers actors, but Kelly Donovan has also appeared as a stand-in for his sibling on "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" a few times. Kelly still does stunt work for various TV series (not as a stand-in for his brother, though), including "Alias," released in 2001.

25. Kendall and Kylie Long

Image Source: reddit.com

Kendall Long, the "Bachelor in Paradise" star, has a twin sister (shocking!) named Kylie Long. Yes, Kendall and Kylie, you read that right. Though to be honest, they were born before Kendall and Kylie Jenner became famous, so don't worry, their parents didn't do that lame thing you know some do. Yes, you know what we're talking about.

26. Jose and Ozzie Canseco

Image Source: reddit.com

Jose Canseco was a major league baseball star in the 1990s who became one of the most outspoken athletes in the steroid crisis that shook the industry. Canseco, known for his big mouth, even authored a book about the controversy, attempting to take down several other players. Ozzie Canseco, Canseco's identical twin, also played professional baseball but not at the same level as his brother.

27. Spencer List and Peyton List

Image Source: reddit.com

Spencer List, like his sister Peyton List, is an actor. He even appeared on one of her "Bunk'd" episodes and has since portrayed Carter Hunter on "The Fosters" and its spin-off, "Good Trouble." While Peyton is perhaps most recognized for her Disney Channel beginnings, she has also starred in the series "Cobra Kai."

28. Julián and Joaquín Castro

Julián, the mayor of San Antonio and former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development for Barack Obama, and Texas United States Representative, Joaquín, his twin brother, were born on September 1974 in Texas. Julián Castro is said to be looking into running for president in 2020.

29. Joel and Benji Madden

Joel Madden is an American singer and songwriter best known as the main vocalist of the rock band "Good Charlotte." The twins, now part of a rock collaboration known as "The Madden Brothers," were born in Maryland in March 1979. Joel is also famous for managing to win the heart and hand of beautiful Nicole Richie.

30. Elvis Presley

We all know Elvis Presley and his songs. But here's something you might not have known about the King of Rock & Roll: He had a twin. Presley was born on January 1935, in Mississippi, only 35 minutes after his twin brother, who was unfortunately delivered stillborn.
