Double Trouble! Celebrity Twins You Didn’t Know About

We all know Tia and Tamara Mowry and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen — the twin pairs who have made it big in Hollywood. However, there are celebrities who have twins that you probably didn’t know about. While these may be household celebrity names, their twins chose a different path and didn’t make it to celebrity status. Here are 14 celebs with surprise twins.

Scarlett Johansson and Hunter

Scarlett Johansson has made it big as an actress, but not many people know that she has a twin brother named Hunter. Hunter, who has dabbled in acting, appeared in the movie Manny & Lo alongside Scarlett, but his career took him elsewhere. In 2008, he was a campaign organizer for Obama and most recently he’s had a cameo in one of Natascha Bessez’s music videos.

Tasha Smith and Sidra

Tasha Smith is a well known actress who has appeared in several television shows, including For Better or Worse, Meet the Browns, and The Corner. Not many people know that Tasha has a twin sister named Sidra, who is also involved in the film and entertainment industry. Sidra, Tasha’s identical twin, has directed and helped to cast several movies and television series.

Nicholas Brendon and Kelly Donovan

Nicholas Brendon, best known for his role as Xander on the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer, has an identical twin brother named Kelly Donovan. The two look so alike that his brother actually stood in for him during two episodes of Buffy. Kelly isn’t as famous as Nicholas but he two has done acting as well as stunt work in several television shows.

Ashton Kutcher and Michael

Actor and funny man Ashton Kutcher has a fraternal twin brother named Michael. Michael, who has cerebral palsy, works for the Transamerica Retirement Services as well as for the Reaching for the Stars organization. Michael has been interviewed in the past and stated that even when Ashton was little, acting was his passion and he never gave up on making it as an actor.

Gisele Bundchen and Patricia

Mom, wife, and model Gisele Bundchen is definitely a recognized face in the modeling and fashion world. Though she’s been named one of the best Victoria’s Secret angels, she’s not the only one in the family with good looks. In fact, she has a fraternal twin sister named Patricia, who, when the two were younger, she used to say was the prettier sister. Though Patricia has had her run with modeling, she’s now Gisele’s manager.

Jon Heder and Dan

When you look at Jon Heder and his identical twin brother Dan, you’d probably find it really hard to tell the difference between the two. During their younger years and even now, the two like to pretend to be the other in order to trick people and get a good laugh. The twins both found themselves involved in film, but Jon is definitely the more famous brother.

Justin Chambers

Justin Chambers, actor on the hit show Grey’s Anatomy, is no stranger to twins. Not only does he have a fraternal twin brother named Jason, he also has twins of his own. He’s a dad to twin daughters named Kaila and Maya. For the Chambers family, two is clearly better than one.

Alanis Morissette and Wade
