10 Celebrities That You Didn't Know Who Have A Twin
Hollywood is full of famous siblings from the Kardashians to the Jacksons to the Hemsworths. However, a rarity in the entertainment industry is celebrity twins. There have been a few identical or fraternal twins who have made names for themselves in the industry.
From Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen to Dylan and Cole Sprouse, Tia and Tamera Mowry and Max and Charlie Carver, several sets of twins have made their mark in film and television. However, did you know that there are famous people out there with a twin you don’t know about?
While it might seem too good to be true that some of the most beautiful people on the planet have a sibling who looks just like them, this is actually the case. Here are some celebrities who have twins you’ve probably never heard of.
#1 Ashton Kutcher.
Here is Michael Kelso himself with his brother Michael, a motivational speaker who devoted his life to speaking out about living with cerebral palsy. While speaking in a high school in Iowa he told the students that he considers Ashton his best friend.
#2 Alanis Morissette.
When Alanis Morissette's album ‘Jagged Little Pill' was released in 1995, she became one of the most influential songwriters of the 1990s.
However, ‘you oughta know,' she actually has a twin brother named Wade who says Alanis is ‘one of the biggest influences in my life.
And it seems like she's rubbed off on him. Like Alanis, Wade is a musician in their native, Canada. They also both have an older brother named Chad.
#3 Gisele Bundchen.
When you hear the name Gisele, chances are you think of the Victoria's Secret stunner who went on to become the world's highest paid supermodel.
However, did you know there's actually two stunning models in the Bundchen family? Meet Patricia Bundchen, Gisele's fraternal twin.
The two actually started modelling at the same time. However, while Gisele stuck with it, Patricia became one of her sister's greatest supporters.
#4 Nicholas Brendon.
You may remember Brendon from his work as Buffy's comedic best friend, Xander Harris on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
However, while Nicholas spent seven years fighting monsters and the supernatural, in real life he's actually a rare creature of his own: A twin.
Nicholas has an identical twin named Kelly Donovan who is three minutes older than him. Donovan served as Brendon's stand in on Buffy and even played Xander a few times.
#5 Scarlett Johansson.
Scarlett may be one of the most sought after women in Hollywood but it looks like there's someone in the Johansson family for ladies to swoon over too.
‘The Avengers' actress has a twin brother named Hunter and from the looks of it, they are two peas in a pod together.
Hunter has even served as his twin sister's date to several Hollywood events, the perks of having a mega-famous twin.
#6 Jon Heder.
You may not recognize the name but chances are you certainly recognize the man who had us all voting for Pedro and obsessing over ligers.
Heder who is best known for playing Napoleon Dynamite in the cult hit movie can be added to the list of celebrities who will have you seeing double.
The actor has a twin brother named Dan and to be honest, it's pretty hard to tell who is who. If they needed a stunt double for that famous dance scene, they know who to call.
#7 Aaron Carter.
Back in the 1990s, the Carters were practically the first family of pop culture for teenage girls.
With Nick Carter best known for his boy band days in the mega-famous group, The Backstreet Boys, Aaron Carter reached heartthrob status with a solo career of his own.
However, Aaron actually has a twin of his own, a sister named Angel. Their escapades could be followed on their family reality show, House of Carter.
#8 Kiefer Sutherland.
When he's not saving the world in 24 hours on his massively popular television series, 24, Sutherland is actually a member of an acting dynasty.
The son of veteran actor and The Hunger Games star, Donald Sutherland, Kiefer has several famous siblings and half-siblings including Reign actor Rossif Sutherland.
However, he also has a twin sister named Rachel. It must be pretty comforting knowing that you're related to Jack Bauer.
#9 Shawn Ashmore.
While most of the stars shown here have twins who've chosen careers away from the spotlight, both of these actors have found great success in television and film.
Shawn Ashmore gained notoriety when he was cast as the lead of the Animorphs television series. He later went on to play Iceman in the X-Men franchise and booked a role on The Following.
His twin brother meanwhile, Aaron Ashmore has appeared on shows like Veronica Mars as well as Smallville where he played Superman's sidekick Jimmy Olsen.
#10 Joel Madden.
If you listened to pop/punk when it was at it's most popular back in the early to mid-2000s than you're likely familiar with Joel and Benji Madden.
The musicians were apart of the popular pop/rock group, Good Charlotte and have risen to fame as a set of famous musical twins.
Both have found something far more meaningful than love, Joel marrying and having children with wife Nicole Richie while Benji recently tied the knot with Cameron Diaz.
