You may think you know a lot about your favorite celebrities, but there’s plenty these actors and actresses don’t necessarily share with their fans. To maintain some semblance of normalcy, these A-listers have kept their family lives somewhat private — which is why you may be surprised to learn that these 15 celebrities actually have twin siblings.
Stars such as Ashton Kutcher and Laverne Cox have been somewhat secretive about the fact that they’re part of a pair. Still, considering how much their siblings mean to them, they do talk about them from time to time. Have you been paying attention?
These are the stars who know what it’s like to grow up with a twin sibling.
Ashton Kutcher
Ashton Kutcher and his wife, Mila Kunis, manage to keep their life together pretty private, despite their star status. But when accepting the Robert D. Ray Pillar of Character Award for demonstrating “good character as a role model,” Kutcher couldn’t help but credit the people who mean the most to him, including his twin brother.
“My brother was born with Cerebral Palsy and it taught me that loving people isn’t a choice and that people aren’t actually all created equal,” he said during the acceptance speech. “The Constitution lies to us. We’re not all created equal. We’re all created incredibly unequal to one another, in our capabilities and what we can do and how we think and what we see. But we all have the equal capacity to love one another, and my brother taught me that.”
Ashton Kutcher’s Twin — Michael
His brother, Michael Kutcher, is a public speaker and advocate for the Reaching for the Stars foundation.
Scarlet Johansson
The actress has a twin brother, Hunter Johansson. And despite her major celeb status now, she and her brother were able to grow up in a “normal” way — at least until they hit high school.
“When we were growing up in New York City, we led very normal city lives,” the brother told Parade magazine. “We rode the subway to public school… When we entered high school, her career started to grow and moviegoers would approach her in public, that’s when I would sometimes ride with her in a cab to school.”
Scarlet Johansson’s Twin — Hunter
She and her brother are the youngest of four children and, thanks to their twin status, the actress admits to Parade that she feels “very connected to him.” Aww!
Vin Diesel
He may be known as Vin Diesel now, but he was born Mark Sinclair and has a fraternal twin brother, Paul Vincent.
Vin Diesel’s Twin — Paul
Diesel posted a photo of his twin brother alongside Paul Walker, his co-star in “The Fast and the Furious” movies until Walker passed away, titling the post, “The Two Pauls.”
Aaron Carter
The ’00s pop star is well-known as the brother to Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, but he also has a twin sister Angel you probably never knew about.
Aaron Carter’s Twin — Angel
He and his sister seemed close, especially considering he walked her down the aisle at her wedding in 2014 — however it seems their relationship has become estranged as of 2019.
Jon Heder
While Jon Heder has acted in a number of films, the one you likely remember him for is quirky indie breakout “Napoleon Dynamite.” With the image of his Dynamite character dancing on stage seared in our brains, we may be forgiven for not realizing he had a twin brother, Dan.

Dan is also involved in the show biz world, and has several production credits under his belt.
Shawn Ashmore
Ashmore is best known for his turn as Bobby Drake/Iceman in the “X-Men” movies, but he’s also appeared in “The Ruins,” “Frozen” (the horror flick, not the Disney film) and more. What you may not realize is that he didn’t appear in “Smallville.” That was actually his twin brother, Aaron.
Shawn Ashmore’s Twin — Aaron
Seriously, though. I always thought they were the same person! This is too wild for me to handle. This particular Ashmore also appeared on cult hit “Veronica Mars.”
Cameron Diaz
Famous movie star, Cameron Diaz is best known for her films in the romantic comedy genre. However, despite all the different plots she’s been a part of, no one considered the idea that Diaz might have a twin. Pictured below is her sister, Chimene.
Rami Malek
“Mr. Robot” actor Rami Malek has an identical twin brother, Sami Malek.

The pair look so much alike that they’ve even pulled off the twin swap (quite a few times) when they were younger.
Sami has facial hair in this photo, but the resemblance is undeniable:
Willow Shields
“The Hunger Games” actress has a fraternal twin sister, and while they’re not identical — they sure do look an awful lot alike!
Gisele Bündchen
The extremely well-known supermodel actually has a twin sister, Patricia Bündchen, also known as Pati. You may have seen Pati pop up on the model’s Instagram, especially when celebrating special occasions, such as the birthday they share.
Charlie Carver
Charlie Carver of “Teen Wolf” has an identical twin brother, Max Carver. While perhaps not intentionally, Max helped his brother come out as openly gay:
“At a certain age I started to realize how him and I are different and I wasn’t able to really put a finger on it because the language wasn’t available yet,” the actor told People magazine. “[As a child] I loved to put on makeup and my moms dresses — and he didn’t.”

This, of course, only adds to the unspeakable bond the twins have. What an incredible support system these two are for each other!
Judy Reyes
“Scrubs” actress Judy Reyes has a twin sister, who’s also not a stranger to acting.
Tasha Smith
Tasha Smith, from “Empire,” has an identical twin sister.
Tasha Smith’s Twin — Sidra
Her sister, Sidra Smith, is not an actress, but she works as a full-time director and producer, according to CBS.
Elvis Presley
Did you know that Elvis Presley was technically born with a twin brother? His brother, Jesse, unfortunately was stillborn.
The Presley Twin Gene Carries On
Twins definitely run in the Presley family because the music legend’s daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, went on to have twin daughters, Finley and Harper Lockwood, pictured here with their mom and older half-sister Riley Keough.
Alanis Morissette
The “You Oughta Know” singer has a twin brother, Wade Morissette. Wade is a yoga instructor, as well as an artist and singer in his own right.

Wade has released several albums, including “Sargam Scales Of Music,” a “blend of folk-rock music with Sanskrit and English chants.” His sister has even promoted a book of his, calling it “one of [her] favorite yoga books.” Seeing that kind of support is incredible!
Laverne Cox
“Orange Is the New Black” star Laverne Cox has an identical twin brother, and in case you were wondering — they do sometimes get confused for each other.
“He was on the subway once, and someone came up to him and said ‘Are you Laverne Cox from ‘Orange Is the New Black,'” Cox told Conan O’Brien in an interview. “I was offended when he told me that because someone thought that I was a man — because my brother’s clearly a guy, and he said he was offended that someone thought he was an actor. That’s my brother. I love him.”
