You’ve heard of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Tia and Tamera Mowry, Dylan and Cole Sprouse, and Benji and Joel Madden – just a few of Hollywood’s most popular twin siblings. But here are five popular celebrities who you might not have realized have a twin who stays out of the spotlight:
1. Ashton and Michael Kutcher
Michael was diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was very young. At age 13, he received a heart transplant, and he has been quoted in publications such as PEOPLE magazine talking about how caring and devoted his celebrity twin brother, Ashton, really is! Cue fangirl swoon.
2. Gisele and Patricia Bundchen
The former Victoria’s Secret model isn’t the only beautiful Bundchen around. Gisele and her twin sister Patricia are very close. In fact, Patricia modeled when the pair was younger. However, she now stays behind the scenes as her sister’s manager.
3. Vin Diesel and Paul Vincent
Although no pictures of Vin Diesel’s twin brother Paul have surfaced on the web, we can only hope the actor’s film editing brother is as attractive as he is!
4. Olly and Ben Murs
Looks like show-business can cause some family troubles. Former X-Factor runner-up Olly Murs found himself in the doghouse for two years after he missed his twin brother Ben’s wedding to perform on the X-Factor semi-finals!
5. Jon and Dan Heder
Napoleon Dynamite times two! While actor Jon Heder portrays various characters on-screen, his identical twin brother Dan tends to stay behind the camera. The pair own a production company together called Greasy Entertainment.
