Celebrities Who Bring “Twinning” To A Whole New Level

The Olsen twins, the Sprouse twins, and even the Madden twins are typically the duos that come to mind when people think of celebrity twins. While those six people are pretty famous, there are stars in Hollywood and professional athletes who aren't known for being "a twin."

Actor Ashton Kutcher has a twin brother who's a motivational speaker for cerebral palsy, while actress Parker Posey's twin brother works as a lawyer. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't twins who took the entertainment industry by storm. You're just going to read to find out who!

Rami Malek And Sami Malek

While they look identical, Academy Award-winning actor Rami Malek and his identical twin brother Sami couldn't be more different. While they obviously look strikingly similar, aside from Sami's facial hair, the two brothers went on separate career paths.

Born four minutes earlier, Rami opted to try his hand in Hollywood. It obviously worked out in his favor, winning an Oscar for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Sami, on the other hand, is a teacher.

If there's anyone in Hollywood who takes the phrase "dynamic duo" and runs with it, it's the Daniel twins, Brittany and Cynthia. First appearing together as the "Doublemint Twins" for the product Doublemint Gum, they went on to play sisters Liz and Jessica Wakefield in Sweet Valley High.

Before that television role, though, the Daniel twins were models, singing to their first agency at the young age of 11. Obviously, these two were meant to be in the industry!

It wouldn't have been surprising, either, considering the twins were known to trade places with each other growing up. During an interview on The Late Show with David Letterman, Jon explained that he and Dan "caused a lot of trouble by pretending to be the other."

Academy Award nominated-actress Scarlett Johansson has a fraternal brother named Hunter. And while Scarlett is a huge name in Hollywood, being named one of the industry's highest-paid actresses, her brother decided on something else for his life.

While his sister is high-profile, Hunter has led a pretty low-key life. In recent years, he's worked on multiple political campaigns and has worked with organizations giving back to the community, including the Champions of Rockaway Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser in 2014.

It's safe to say being born into the Sutherland family means one day you'll be brought into the "family business." Only instead of the business being part of a crime family, it's finding your place in Hollywood.

For twins Kiefer and Rachel, they found their respective places in front of and behind the camera. While Kiefer opted to take on acting, starring in series such as 24, his fraternal twin Rachel prefers staying behind the scenes, supervising post-production.

Interestingly, Diedre's character sky-rocketed her to fame, even winning her various awards, including two Best Actress Soapy Awards. Andrea, on the other hand, didn't win accolades for her performance. But she did portray a Marlena-lookalike on Days from 2000-2001.

They might not be in Hollywood, but Didem and Sinem Balık are still some fantastical twins in the entertainment industry. Better known as The Opera Twins, Didem and Sinem are a famous opera act.

Older by a solid five minutes, Didem is a mezzo-soprano while her younger twin sister is a soprano. Of course, their vocal talents aren't only utilized at the opera. The twins also sing in Broadway plays as well as Italian Neapolitans.

Male models Kyle and Lane Carlson were "found" as most good up-and-coming acts are - in the mall! After Lane was spotted, the two quickly fell into the lap of an agent from Elite Model Management, one of the world's top-tier agencies.

From there, they began modeling for Abercrombie and Fitch, Armani, Out magazine, Calvin Klein, and A&F Quarterly. These two might also look familiar from the NBC show Fear Factor, where Lane was once a contestant.

Unlike the other twins on this list, Ethan and Grayson Dolan found fame in a very unconventional way, on the social media video-sharing platform Vine. In 2013, one of their videos went viral, and, as they say, the rest is history.

Since 2015, the twins have been signed with AwesomenessTV and have 11 million subscribers on their YouTube channel and over 6.4 million followers on Vine. In 2019, they announced they were planning on changing the content of their channel.

In Los Angeles, anything's possible. Even if that anything is making a career out of being a psychic, well, that's exactly what Linda and Terry Jamison did for their careers. The twins have claimed to channel dead celebrities' spirits, such as Natalie Wood and Princess Diana, and even "predicted" future historical events.

Of course, many people don't believe in the twin's supernatural abilities. And it probably doesn't help that their predictions are published in nothing more than tabloid magazines.

One of their more well-known appearances, though, was in the Judy Garland film Presenting Lily Mars. Ironically, the twins wound up marrying brothers, Jim and Tom Cathcart. Unfortunately, their husbands were not twins (missed opportunity, ladies!).

Milly and Becky Rosso got a strange start to their short stint in Hollywood. During a live taping of The Suite Life of Zach and Cody, the twins were picked out of the audience by the producer. Shortly after, they were given guest appearances on the show.

From there, they starred in the Reese Witherspoon straight-to-video movie Legally Blondes. Like most Disney Channel stars, the Rosso twins also dabbled in music, forming the girl group The Rosso Sisters alongside their other sisters Georgina and Lola.

Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush are arguably best known for their roles in Little House on the Prairie. In the show, the twins alternate screen time playing Carrie Ingalls, with their credit reading Lindsay Sidney Greenbush during the opening sequence.

The credit had people believe the little girl was played by one actress and not two. After a few rounds of commercials for companies like Doublemint Gum, the twins opted to step back from acting and focus on being kids.
