You’ll Be Surprised! 10 Movie Stars You Had No Idea Had a Twin

You might think twins are inseparable from childhood, but Eva and Joy, fraternal twins, only grew close as adults. Eva shared, “We were so different that it took time to find common ground, but now we complement each other despite our differences. My sister is blonde, lives in Italy, and has nothing to do with showbiz—she’s my happy self.”

Scarlett is one of Hollywood’s most recognized faces, often seen on the red carpet with a taller, handsome man—her twin brother Hunter. Unlike her, Hunter works quietly behind the scenes in charity and political campaigns, including helping Barack Obama’s 2009 campaign.

The charming actor Ashton learned a lot from his twin Michael, who was born with cerebral palsy and had a heart transplant at 13. Ashton said, “We don’t all start life with equal chances, but we do have the ability to love everyone equally.”

The world’s top supermodel Gisele has a fraternal twin sister, Gabriela, who doesn’t look like her but shares the family’s great genes—both sisters are stunning, and so is their younger sibling.

Fast & Furious star Vin Diesel’s real name is Mark Sinclair Vincent, and few know he has a twin brother. They’re fraternal twins, so they don’t look alike, but Paul also works in entertainment as a lesser-known actor.

Kiefer, son of legendary Donald Sutherland, has been in the spotlight for decades, so it’s surprising many didn’t know he has a twin sister. Rachel, who works behind the scenes in film production, looks strikingly like him.

Laverne Cox rose to fame with "Orange Is the New Black," becoming a celebrated transgender icon. Her Emmy-nominated role included her real-life twin brother, musician M Lamar, who portrayed her character’s male identity.

Linda Hamilton became world-famous as the iconic Sarah Connor in the Terminator films. In the second movie, several scenes feature the T-1000 robot taking Sarah’s form, and few know those were filmed with Linda’s twin sister Leslie, not special effects. Linda even laughed about Arnold Schwarzenegger once mixing them up.

Rami won an Emmy for his lead role in Mr. Robot and later an Oscar playing Freddie Mercury. He shared that his brother Sami once asked him to perform a monologue at university to earn credits. Though Rami wasn’t a pro actor then, his performance impressed the professor, who praised Sami without knowing about the swap.
