15 Celebrity Twins You Had No Idea About (But Now You Do!)
Having a twin is probably one of the best things ever. And we mean that seriously. Don't you agree? Just imagine having that one person in your life that you can consider your best friend and sibling at the same time and you two get to live under one roof and do all the shenanigans you can think of… while not giving your mom a heart attack, of course. There's also that whole twins having a special connection and intuition thing that must be really amazing and cool. Having a sibling is not always super fun because peace and privacy won't really exist, and sure, that can be true. We've discovered that there are some celebrities who are actually a twin. There are some twins who even both are in the limelight and we didn't have any idea! Well, we totally know now. Here are 15 celebrity twins that you had absolutely no clue about!
15 Ashton And Michael Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher is known as one of the hottest men out there and we're pretty sure a lot of women would agree with us. He's been in tons of movies and TV shows already and at the age of 39, this man has accomplished a lot. That includes getting married and divorced from Demi Moore. Don't worry, his love life is now okay again since he is happily married to actress Mila Kunis. Another interesting fact is that Ashton has a twin. Yes people, and a twin brother, no less! Michael Kutcher is his name. It was quite unfortunate when baby Michael, who suffered from being born over-oxygenated, was diagnosed with a mild form of cerebral palsy. Ashton was born first and the two of them have always been super close. Today, Michael is a keynote speaker and his brother continues to live his fabulous celebrity life.
14 Alanis And Wade Morissette
If you think Alanis is the only singer in her family, think again. Her twin, Wade Morissette, is a kirtan and indie pop-cork musician, as well as a yoga teacher, and an author. Yes, that's just a start because these Morissette twins have a lot on their plate and they don't mind at all. Alanis started making waves in the music industry way back in 1983. If you're not familiar with her songs, you better start listening. Aside from singing alternative rock and dance pop tunes, Alanis is also known for experimenting with grunge, electronica, and other similar genres, while her brother Wade focuses on indie. He has also poured a lot of time in his life learning everything there is to learn about yoga. In fact, while Alanis was busy making music, her brother was busy learning yoga and making time for peace and spiritual care. Wade was once a Lululemon ambassador as well.
13 Scarlett And Hunter Johansson
Scarlett Johansson sure is a responsible little sister. She is three minutes older than her twin brother, Hunter, and the two of them are inseparable (just like any twin) and while we might have seen them both at red carpet events, we probably didn't think that they were actually twins. Seriously, they don't look like twins. Maybe it's just her makeup or something. Hunter has acted a little but, his main interest is politics. He has worked for Obama's campaign and he is very active politically. In fact, he and his sister once hosted the Champions of Rockaway Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser. Hunter may not be a celebrity like his sister but it definitely seems like he is pretty happy with the low-key lifestyle and he loves what he does. And that can be just as impressive as the most famous person.
12 Aaron And Shawn Ashmore
Aaron and Shawn are identical twins and they are both actors. Yes, these Canadians love to be in front of the camera. They're handsome and kind and great at acting so that's all that matters. Aaron has been on TV series like Smallville, Veronica Mars, and Warehouse 13. He also played a role on the Canadian TV series Killjoys. Shawn has starred on the TV show Conviction and he also played a part in Animorphs, The Following, and in case you haven't noticed, he is Iceman in the X-Men series. We can say that these two are not your typical twins. While most celebrity twins choose to have separate lives, the Ashmores both love to act and take on crazy amazing roles. And oh, they both have the tattoo "GMA", which means "Good Man Ashmore". As if that wasn't cool enough, their grandpa has the same tattoo.
11 Jon And Dan Heder
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen is definitely hot… and she has a twin sister! Gisele started her modeling career many years back and today, she is still considered one of the best supermodels out there. In fact, some people consider her as the only supermodel out there. Gisele has been one of the highest paid models around the globe and in 2007, she was also considered the 16th richest woman in the modeling and entertainment industry. Back when they were younger, Gisele and her twin sister Patricia both took up a modeling course, thanks to their mom. And the course paid off. Gisele is not only a supermodel but she is known for her charity work and pioneering the "horse walk". Her sister Patricia, who was born five minutes after her, was her manager and spokeswoman. Talk about teamwork!
9 Charlotte And Samantha Ronson
Next up are two very creative twins, Charlotte and Samantha Ronson. Charlotte is an English fashion designer currently based in New York and her twin sister Samantha is an English DJ currently living in Santa Monica, California. These two may not be your typical celebrities but they are close with celebrities. A few of the celebrities who have worn Charlotte's brand include Gwen Stefani, Lindsay Lohan, the great Gisele Bundchen, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ellen Pompeo, and Kate Moss. Although they are twins, Charlotte and Samantha have made it clear from the start that they won't do the typical twinning thing. You know, where twins wear the same clothes and have the same hair and live in the same house. These two decided to go chase their dreams, wherever it would lead them. Today, Samantha continues her DJ-ing in California and travels for work while Charlotte is in New York, working on her brand and raising her baby with Fun frontman Nate Ruess.
8 Aaron And Angel Carter
This is the part where your jaw totally drops because who would have thought that Aaron Cater has a twin sister?! Well, you would know this if you watched the reality show House of Carters, but if you haven't tuned into that show, let us feed you some valuable information. Angel Carter is a model and married to Corey Conrad. We think it's super sweet and cute that her twin brother Aaron walked her down the aisle. We just love that moment. Aaron, on the other hand, is a singer who released his very first album (and a self-titled one) back in 1997. He may be going solo but Aaron has collaborated with many different artists and all his songs have been hits because he is good at what he does. Also, in case you're wondering, their brother is Nick Carter aka Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys.
7 Jenna And Barbara Bush
Fraternal twins Jenna and Barbara Bush were born a few minutes apart with Barbara being born first. Jenna married NBC News correspondent Henry Hager, who is also the editor-at-large for Southern Living magazine. She currently works at NBC News where she got the chance to interview former President Bill Clinton. Aside from her job in the newsroom, Jenna also has a passion for teaching. In fact, she once worked as a teacher's aide at Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School and she also interned at UNICEF's Educational Policy Department in Latin America. Her twin sister Barbara is also in the same field and is focused on health. She once worked for the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and is the founder of the nonprofit Global Health Corps.
6 Vin Diesel And Paul Vincent
Mark Sinclair, who is known by his stage name Vin Diesel, has done a lot in his career, and there is no stopping this man from accomplishing more. Diesel is not only an actor, he's also a producer, screenwriter, and a director. In fact, he is the executive producer of the TV series The Ropes as well as the 2017 film, The Fate of the Furious. But if you think you already know everything about Vin, you probably didn't know that this man has a twin brother! Yup. Paul Vincent is his name. Paul Vincent (birth name Paul Sinclair) is a film editor and worked in the sound department of the 1995 short film Multi-Facial. While these two look so different that you would not believe they are twins, well, they are. Paul may not be a fan of appearing in front of the camera but his brother Vin revealed in various interviews they both love each other to the moon and back.
5 Siva And Kumar Kaneswaran
Twin brothers Siva and Kumar may not be as famous as Vin Diesel and brother Paul Vincent or twin sisters Gisele and Patricia Bundchen but they are still worthy of a spot on this list! Kumar and Siva were born in Dublin, Ireland and both have been in the industry for quite some time. They are, however, focused on taking on small jobs because they have other passions that they care about. Take Siva Kaneswaran, for instance. He is known for being part of the reality show The Wanted Life, but what Siva is really passionate about is music. He is part of the British/Irish boy band The Wanted and, no, his brother is not part of it. His brother Kumar appeared in Rock Rivals and Uncle Max, and that's pretty much what the internet has about him. Obviously, this man is enjoying his private life and that's great.
4 Jason And Jeremy London
The London brothers were once famous actors. The identical twins are now in their 40s and, well, not as famous as before aside from the fact that brother Jeremy made headlines for quite some time thanks to a kidnapping case. Jeremy was a regular on 7th Heaven, Party of Five, and one of his earliest and most notable work, I'll Fly Away which aired from 1991 to 1993. Jason was also part of 7th Heaven and he played Randall “Pink” Floyd in the 1993 film Dazed and Confused. The brothers have still been working in Hollywood, with Jeremy being part of the 2012 film Don't Pass Me By and he's currently working in the pre-production stage of Mallrats 2. His brother Jason is still savoring the success of his 2016 film My First Miracle. He was also in the 2010 film Snow Beast, the 2011 film The Lamp, and many others.
3 Giovanni And Marissa Ribisi
Another Dazed and Confused actress on the list Marissa Ribisi, who was also in True Crime, Pleasantville, and The Brady Bunch Movie. As for TV shows, she has been in Grace Under Fire, Friends, Felicity, and Watching Ellie. Marissa is clearly having a great time in front of the camera. To think that she started acting when she was only 9 and now, many years after and at the age of 42, this woman is still doing amazing things. Talk about finding that one great passion of yours. But what people often forget is that Marissa is actually a twin. Yes people, she is the twin sister of American actor Giovanni Ribisi who is known for the films Boiler Room, Saving Private Ryan, and for being on Friends. Just like sister Marissa, Giovani also started his career as a child, and starred on the TV show The Wonder Years.
2 Jill And Jacqueline Hennessy
Canadian actress Jacqueline Hennessy is known for her roles in The Northern Borders, The Acting Class, and the 1988 film Dead Ringers. She also has a doctorate in French Literature and is currently the host of the program Medical Intelligence in Canada. She is also the associate editor for Chatelaine magazine. While Jacqueline is busy juggling her career in journalism, her twin sister Jill is focused on working behind the camera in a few different ways. Sure, Jill is also an actress with a super long list of films and TV shows,, but she is also quite focused on her building her career as a director and producer. Jill is one of the producers and the co-director of The Acting Class. She also directed one episode of Crossing Jordan, the very same TV series where she played the role of Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh.
1 Parker And Christopher Posey
Christoper may not be a celebrity but his twin Parker is. Christopher works away from the limelight as a lawyer and based on the very few things we could find about him on the internet, we must say that this guy knows how to live a super private life. He definitely is very good at that. Twin sister Parker, on the other hand, is pretty public. She started acting back in 1991 and she was also in Dazed and Confused. Geez, a lot of people in that film are twins! Anyway, since then, Parker has played a lot of roles in movies and in some television series, like the 2016 film Café Society and 2015 film Irrational Man. She's also working on a 2017 film called The Brits Are Coming. Aside from acting, Parker Posey is also a musician, which is super cool. Did you know any of these celebrities were actually twins?
