Celebrity Twins – Michael and Ashton
When Ashton was born he weighed 10.5 pounds and Michael was born 5 minutes later, leaving their parents stunned that he would weigh 4 pounds.
“I tell people that as long as we’re in the womb, he’ll eat everything,” Michael, who was diagnosed with brain cancer at age 3 and had a heart transplant at age 13, told The Associated Press in 2012.
However, the entrepreneur and father of three eventually forgave Ashton for his excessive appetite and for opening up about Michael’s condition in an interview years ago.
“I was so angry. I was so angry. In May, Michael told TODAY Parents, “I recall discussing it with him. “I had no desire to represent CP. I never discuss it. But it didn’t take her long to acknowledge that “Kris [Ashton’s real name] did me the most favor because he allowed me to be myself.”
The That ’70s Show star told TODAY Parents, “My brother’s daily behavior reminds me that life isn’t about running into problems it’s about overcoming them. Mike has a never-ending job and he’s very kind to others.”
Celebrity Twins – Hunter and Scarlett
In 2015, Hunter told Parade, “There were times and places where my sister could wander around without anybody knowing.”
She explained that growing up in New York with her two older brothers, they lived a “very normal city life.” She added, “When moments like that happen, I remember the time before he was famous, when we were kids, and I treasure that. He’s my other half. My twin is the most significant item in my life.
Scarlett agrees, saying of her co-worker’s sister, who at the time was working at a nonprofit helping rebuild after Hurricane Sandy, “I felt very connected to her. She had a heart of gold, I think most people spend their lives looking for a partner, someone who can be a mirror for them, who can remind them of what they’ve lived through. You want someone to share their observations about your life with you. For me, my twin brother has always been that.
Celebrity Twins – Sami and Rami Malek
Yes, they’ve been pretending to be each other here and there over the years. Sami, who is four minutes younger than him, is now a teacher, but “we used to do some crazy things when we were little,” Rami said on Jimmy Kimmel Live, adding that they still look a little alike as time goes on.
Luckily his version of bad-boy behavior was that one day in class Rami made up a monologue on a Greek problem for his unprepared brother.
The actress recalled that Sami, who was just a few points away from graduating, told her, “This will give me the points I need to get a degree.” According to Rami’s account of the incident, when the teacher became suspicious of the joke she came up with, she called him aside and asked, “‘How did you learn that?'” “Oh, it’s just a hobby,” he said.
He asks if she will do it again at her next class, but she apologizes, saying she parked in a red spot and has to move.
Celebrity Twins – Patricia and Gisele
“Today Patricia and I can celebrate living 100 years on this beautiful planet! What a blessing to have been born as my twin and best friend!” Gisele posted on Instagram in 2020 on the occasion of their 40th anniversary.
Vin Diesel and Paul Sinclair
It’s been easier for Paul’s son-in-law Mark Sinclair to stay out of the public eye ever since he picked up a memorable stage name.
“You see, the other guy in the picture is also named Paul… and although they look a lot alike, he’s actually my twin brother,” the actor explained during a Facebook livestream in 2015, referring to a photo of his real brother standing next to the late Paul Walker (actor Vin called him “Pablo” and became like a brother to him), according to MTV News.
Chloe and Noah Schnapp
Wishing her sister a happy 17th birthday in October 2021, the Stranger Things star called her “the best twin a sister could have,” adding, “Wishing these two the best forever.”
Celebrity Twins – Giovanni and Marissa Ribisi
“To be honest, I have a twin brother, so throughout my life, I’ve always had this belief that, if anything, I’ll always have a brother,” Marisa shared on Tonje’s podcast Suitable Words in May 2021. “And my sister is a year younger than me and we’re a very close-knit family, so I don’t have a lot of drama with friends. And even if it did, I would just go back, and I’ve always had my family, which is always important.”
The movies she and Giovanni made together, 1998’s “Other Girls” and 2001’s “According to Spencer,” are also family history: They both star alongside Marisa, and her mother, Gay Ribisi, is a producer. Marisa also appeared during the pandemic in Netflix’s Giovanni, an ensemble drama produced by Julie Delpy.
Celebrity Twins – Jevon Walton and Jaden Walton
Meet the hero’s brother: Jaden! “Nothing can ever come between us, Jedd,” Jevon wrote in 2018. While Jevon is focused on his career, Jaden seems more interested in dancing, sharing a few photos of himself dancing on Instagram.
Celebrity Twins – Jake and Joseph Fiennes
In 2016, Joseph told the Guardian, “I’m a twin, but my brother and I don’t look alike, so it’s not a big deal.” However, you develop an attachment to someone when you share a birthday, sleep with them, and are in their womb.
There’s a special bond between me and my twin brother. It definitely feels different from the relationship I have with my other siblings and my twin brother is like a mentor.”
A landscaper at the family’s English estate, Jacob was featured in a 2020 book that called the Fiennes “one of Britain’s most iconic families.”
The twins are the youngest of six siblings, the eldest of whom is Oscar nominee Ralph Fiennes.
Celebrity Twins – Nicholas Brendon and Kelly Donovan
When Xander needed a replacement for Buffy the Slayer in the episode “The Transformation,” Nicholas had one ready — his own twin.
“They paid me $200 a week to sign autographs,” Kelly told People in 1999.
FYI, both brothers go by their real middle name and last name, Schultz.
Celebrity Twins – Jacqueline and Jill Hennessy
The pair made their film debut playing two call girls in the 1988 thriller Dead Ringers, but Jill decided to make film her career.
The Crossing Jordan star grieved for Jacqueline in 2009, saying, “I don’t want to take control of my life because she doesn’t think she’s ever been treated so stupidly because she looks like me.” “She’s followed by people who don’t believe she’s my twin. She’ll say so kindly, ‘I’m Jack, her brother,’ and they’ll think she’s lying. They thought the real Jill Hennessy was really crazy!”
“She’s a brilliant writer and TV presenter in Toronto and very famous in her own right in Canada,” said Jill. “I feel bad when I hear a story from someone who is a bit skeptical and maybe doesn’t know the reality, and gets angry about it. It’s challenging to avoid feeling guilty and taking it personally.
The couple could make it, though: In 1996, Jacqueline worked out a few courtroom scenes on Law & Order, while Jill went to Baltimore to rejoin Claire for a series of NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Edge.
Celebrity Twins – Laverne Cox and M Lamar
“Whenever I had any kind of problem in life, I would call my brother first and he would always tell me the truth,” Laverne said of the singer and opera composer on Today in 2015. “He’s like a compass for me in a lot of ways. He’s been very supportive and he’s a brilliant artist in his own right.”
M—You. Reginald Lamar Cox – played Marcus’ brother in episodes before Sophia replaced him as Marcus in the new movie.
“The casting director saw that I had a twin brother, and they said he should play the role,” Laverne explained on HuffPost Live in 2013. “He auditioned, and he got the role.”
Celebrity Twins – Samantha and Salote Ronson
“We’ve always been very close and he’s very funny, very witty,” the Charlotte stylist said of her brother DJ in the 2020 documentary Becoming. “I’m very quiet and serious.”
His older brother, musician Mark Ronson, said in 2008 that they have worked so hard together, telling Harper’s Bazaar, “We don’t even get together on holidays. But whenever possible, we get together at some point.”
Celebrity Twins – Joey and Eva Green
“She’s married to an Italian count, lives in Italy and works hard to raise her two children. She looks after the farm. It’s a good life, isn’t it?” Eva spoke of Joey’s pastoral adventure in 2016.
Not that life has been too fraught for the dancer, as she’s two minutes older.
“Joey and I have very different personalities,” Eva told the Daily Mail in 2008. “She never wanted to do it, which was great because it would have been very tense between us. We used to fight and we used to be very nasty to each other, but now we’ve got a great friendship. She’s kept all the clippings about me.
Celebrity Twins – Rachel and Kiefer
“Having twins taught me the importance of having friends,” Kiefer said in a 2018 interview with The Guardian. “Every time I saw something I could share I would hold them in my arms. When I had my first child I said to my mom, ‘Oh my god, you had two at the same time’, which always makes me laugh. I also have a close relationship with my sister, Rachel.
Celebrity Twins – Daniel and John Heder
“People used to say to me, ‘Dan’s a good-looking guy,'” John told W about his twin brother in 2008 But don’t worry, they would remark, “You’re very polite and good with the ladies.”
However, the Napoleon Dynamite star added, “Dan calls fans over and when he tries to explain who he is, the fans don’t believe him they think he’s crazy! and they take the picture anyway. It’s just that he’s often just pretending to be me.”
And if you can’t beat them, join them: The two founded the entertainment production company Greasy Entertainment with their older brother Doug (there are six Heder siblings in total).
