Celebrities You Didn’t Know Were Twins

In the realm of Hollywood stardom, where twinships are as rare as shooting stars, I find myself drawn to the captivating stories of these unique pairs. Each pair, bound by blood and genetics, has navigated their own paths through life, often mirroring each other’s steps yet carving out distinct identities.

Plot twist.

One method of rephrasing in a natural, easy-to-understand manner: There are twin stars such as Dylan and Cole Sprouse or Tia and Tamera Mowry who launched their careers with their identical (or fraternal) sibling. However, what about the celebrities who have someone who bears a striking resemblance to them but lives away from the spotlight in Hollywood?

For example, consider actor Rami Malek, formerly of Mr. Robot, who has a brother named Sami, a teacher by profession. Despite their different career choices, fans might not be astonished to learn that they occasionally swapped roles in their youth – a situation Rami himself mentioned happening occasionally during their teenage years.

In a conversation on The Graham Norton Show back in October 2018, I shared that I and this individual supported each other in certain challenging moments. At the time, he was attending UCLA, specializing in Greek studies as one of his fields of study. However, he was struggling to pass, and it seemed like he might not be able to graduate.

But lucky for Sami, one of his (or in this case, Rami’s) last assignments was simply meant to be.

Upon returning from acting school, a conversation ensued where someone shared, “Overheard, my instructor has extended the necessary points for me to graduate. All I need is to recite a monologue from a Greek tragedy.” Intrigued, I inquired, “Any chance you know a Greek tragedy?” To which they replied, “Funnily enough, I just finished one myself.

And the rest is history.

However, the actor from “Bohemian Rhapsody” isn’t the only celebrity with a twin living relatively incognito. Besides knowing that Nikki Garcia and Brie Garcia are a tag-team duo, and understanding that both Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen collaborate to keep their fashion brand The Row functioning, you might not be aware that other stars share this sentiment about needing a twin to navigate life.

We’re more than happy to share the spotlight with celebrity twins less known in the limelight! Continue reading to catch a glimpse of their doubles.

At the time of their birth, Ashton tipped the scales at 10.5 pounds, while Michael, an unexpected baby who arrived five minutes later to parents anticipating a son, weighed only 4 pounds. “I’d joke that he must have consumed everything in the womb,” Michael, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at three and underwent a heart transplant at thirteen, shared with the Associated Press in 2012.

However, in time, the activist, also a father of three, ultimately forgave Ashton – not only for his voracious eating habits, but also for revealing Michael’s medical condition many years earlier in that interview.

Michael shared with TODAY Parents in May that he was incredibly upset about something. He recalled discussing this matter with him. Initially, he didn’t want to represent Cerebral Palsy (CP) or talk about it, but eventually, he understood that Chris (Ashton’s real first name) had done him a tremendous favor by enabling him to be true to himself.

“My brother’s everyday behaviors teach me that life isn’t just about facing challenges – it’s about overcoming them. Mike consistently demonstrates an unyielding determination and a profound concern for others.

In 2015, Hunter shared with Parade that there aren’t many situations or instances where his sister can freely go about without being noticed. He mentioned that they lived ordinary city lives in New York alongside their two older siblings, growing up as typical kids. When those rare moments occur, he is taken back to a time before her fame, reminiscing about our childhood days. He stated, “She is my other half. Nothing is more valuable to me than my twin sister.

Scarlett expresses her strong bond with her activist brother who was then working at a nonprofit organization assisting in the rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Sandy, stating: “I have a deep sense of kinship with him. He’s an incredibly compassionate individual. I believe many people spend their lives searching for a companion, someone to serve as a reflection, to remind them that they’ve experienced life. My twin brother has always been the one who mirrors my existence back to me.

Indeed, they have occasionally swapped roles imitating each other throughout their lives. Notably, Sami, who is four minutes younger, currently works as a teacher. However, during our childhood days, we engaged in some mischievous activities, as Rami shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Over the years, they have become less physically similar as time progressed.

Fortunately, instead of exhibiting typical bad-boy behavior, Rami decided to enact a dramatic monologue from a Greek tragedy during class one day, surprising his unprepared sibling.

According to Rami’s account, Sami, who was almost done with his studies but lacked a few credits, had mentioned to him that he would receive the necessary points from something. Later, after receiving praise that drew attention from his teacher, she inquired, “‘Where did you learn such skills?'” To which Rami responded casually, “‘Oh, it’s just something I enjoy doing as a pastime.’

She inquired about him playing an encore for her upcoming lesson, yet he politely declined, mentioning that he was illegally parked in a red area and needed to leave.

On Instagram, Gisele expressed her joy as she and Pati celebrate forty years of life on this wonderful world in 2020. She felt incredibly fortunate to have been born alongside her twin and dearest friend.

Since Mark Sinclair chose an eye-catching stage name, it has made it relatively straightforward for Paul to fly under the limelight.

In a 2015 Facebook live broadcast (as reported by MTV News), Vin described a photograph featuring his real-life brother with the late Paul Walker. He affectionately referred to Walker as “Pablo”. Vin stated that the other individual in the picture, also named Paul, is actually his twin brother, despite them looking less alike.

Expressing his joy on his sister’s 17th birthday in October 2021, the star of Stranger Things referred to her as an exceptional twin any brother would be grateful for, also mentioning, “May this pair continue to thrive for many more years to come.

Marissa revealed on the “Proper Talk by Tonje” podcast in May 2021 that she has a twin brother, meaning I’ve grown up with an innate confidence due to his presence. She also mentioned that her younger sister and I were very close, resulting in minimal friend-related issues. If any troubles arose, I could rely on my family for support, which was crucial for me.

The films that she and Giovanni produced together, such as “Some Girl” from 1998 and “According to Spencer” in 2001, were family-oriented projects. Both movies were co-written by Marissa and listed her mother, Gay Ribisi, as a producer. Furthermore, Marissa made an appearance in Giovanni’s Netflix series during the pandemic era titled “On the Verge,” an ensemble drama created by Julie Delpy.

Introducing the twin brother of the Euphoria actor: Jaden! In a post from 2018, Javon wrote, “Nothing can separate us, JDub.” While Javon continues to pursue acting, it seems that Jaden has a passion for sports, frequently posting pictures with Onward Athletics Baseball on Instagram.

Joseph shared with The Guardian in 2016 that while he and his brother aren’t identical twins, it doesn’t diminish their bond significantly. He explained, “When you grow up sharing bunk beds, birthdays, and a womb with someone, there’s an unspoken connection that’s unique.” He added that this relationship stands apart from the one he has with his other siblings, as his twin and he share a stronger bond due to their shared experiences. Jacob, his twin, is a dedicated conservationist.

In their homeland of England, Jacob emerged as a renowned figure in land management. In 2020, he was spotlighted by The New Yorker, who referred to the Fiennes family as one of the most distinguished bohemian clans in Britain.

The twins are the youngest of six siblings, the eldest being Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes.

For the “The Replacement” episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, Nicholas happened to have a suitable stand-in already – his very own identical twin.

“He pays me $200 a week to sign autographs,” Kelly quipped to People in 1999.

FYI, both brothers go by their real first and middle names, and their last name is Schultz.

In the 1988 thriller “Dead Ringers,” the duo first appeared on screen, portraying twin prostitutes, but it was only Jill who chose to build a career in acting.

In 2009, the actress from Crossing Jordan expressed regret for putting Jacqueline in a difficult situation because she bears a resemblance to me. Unintentionally, Jacqueline has been caught up in madness due to our similar appearance. Strangers don’t believe she’s my sister when she politely corrects them. They think she’s lying or that I’m being particularly rude! People have even yelled at her and walked away angrily, and I feel responsible for this.

Jill remarked, “She is a renowned writer and TV journalist in Toronto, recognized across Canada independently. I can’t help but empathize when I hear of people acting impulsively or struggling with reality, criticizing her. It’s challenging not to take it personally and feel somewhat responsible.

The resemblance can come in handy, though: In 1996, Jacqueline stood in for some of Assistant District Attorney Claire Kincaid’s courtroom scenes on Law & Order while Jill was in Baltimore also playing Claire for an NBC cross-over event with Homicide: Life on the Street.

In any situation where I find myself stuck or uncertain, it is my brother whom I immediately reach out to for honest advice. He serves as a guiding light in many aspects of my life, offering unwavering support and being an exceptional artist in his field. This was shared by Laverne on TODAY in 2015 regarding the opera singer and composer.

Regarding “Orange Is the New Black,” Reginald Lamar Cox portrayed the role of his sister in scenes set before Marcus transformed into Sophia.

Laverne revealed in an interview with HuffPost Live back in 2013 that our casting director discovered I have a twin brother. She was adamant that he should try out for the role, which he did and ended up landing it.

In simpler terms, Charlotte, the fashion designer, shared that she and her DJ sibling had a very close relationship. She described her sister as being cheerful and extroverted, while Charlotte herself was more reserved and serious. This insight was shared on the 2020 documentary series titled Becoming.

In 2008, their older brother and renowned musician Mark Ronson joked to Harper’s Bazaar about their packed schedules, saying, “Even during the most sacred Jewish holidays, we don’t all gather together. However, we make time for individual meetings whenever possible.

In a casual conversation with The Guardian in 2016, Eva remarked about Joy’s journey, which includes being married to an Italian count, residing in Italy, and devotedly tending to her two children while managing a vineyard. Sounds like quite the pleasant existence, doesn’t it?

It’s not as if the star of Casino Royale and Penny Dreadful, who is only two minutes older than that, has been struggling much in life.

Eva shared with the Daily Mail in 2008 that she and Joy had starkly different personalities. “Joy had no interest in acting,” Eva explained, “which was beneficial since it would have been highly competitive between us. We used to argue fiercely and even behaved quite poorly towards each other, but now we maintain a wonderful relationship. Joy collects newspaper clippings about me.

In an interview with The Guardian in 2018, Kiefer expressed that being a twin taught him the importance of having someone to share experiences with. He explained how whenever he experienced something, he could simply turn to his left and discuss it with his twin. During the birth of his first child, he marveled at how his mother had raised two children simultaneously. His mother reassured him, saying that by the time he was 2, they were already looking after each other. This made Kiefer laugh, but also showed how close he and his sister Rachel are.

In 2008, Jon shared with W that some people have commented, “Dan is slightly more appealing,” regarding his identical twin. However, he noted, “They always added, ‘But don’t fret, you’ve got the upper hand when it comes to charm and manners with women.’

Nevertheless, the actor famously known for his role in “Napoleon Dynamite” remarked, “Fans often approach Dan and when he tries to clarify his identity, they doubt him and assume he’s being impolite! They’ll snap a photo regardless. As a result, he usually just feigns being me.

If you find yourself unable to outdo them, align yourself with them instead: The twins, along with their elder brother Doug (the Heder family consists of six members in total), established the production company known as Greasy Entertainment.
