We watch many of our favorite actors appear on the small and big screen, and we become a part of their on-screen story. The people they marry, the children they have, and the drama that unfolds are all factors that piece their fictional stories together. Before they became big names in the film industry, they were just someone’s brother or sister, who they fought with, played with, and loved. Life in Hollywood can seem pretty glamorous, but away from the cameras and flashing lights, many of these celebrities go back to their humble roots and spend time with their families. After all, these are the people who knew them before they made a name for themselves and have supported them throughout their journeys. These are celebrity siblings you may have never heard of or who are lesser known than their famous brothers and sisters.
Eminem – Nathan Mathers
He is the real Slim Shady who can rap circles around anyone. Yet the singer/actor, who has sung about cleaning out his closet and losing yourself on 8 Mile, actually has a brother.
Nathan Kane Mathers is Eminem’s younger brother and is also a rapper, but has not yet reached the same level of his sibling, Marshall Mathers. Eminem has often sung about his childhood in many of his songs. He came from a troubled home, which resulted in Nathan being taken into foster care when he was ten years old.
Jennifer Lawrence – Blaine And Ben Lawrence
Jennifer has won the hearts of many for her sense of humor, but little do people know, she has two brothers – Blaine and Ben.
But if you ask what her brothers do, her response is, “God, I don’t know, it’s something with computers… It’s something called Louisville Geek I think. I think he goes to an office?”
Rihanna – Rorrey and Rajad
She is famous for her top Billboard hits such as “Umbrella,” “What’s My Name?”, and “Work”, but away from all her musical success, Rihanna spends time with her family including her mom, dad, and brothers.
That’s right, one of the biggest singing sensations has two brothers named Rajad and Rorrey. Rihanna is said to be very close with her brothers and they spend as much time as they can together, although this can be hard when you are one of the most famous singers in the world!
Lady Gaga and Natali
Lady Gaga became famous after she offered a unique taste in music with her unconventional lyrics and unique sense of style. However, behind all the props, hair wigs, and high heels, Lady Gaga was once just another aspiring singer from Manhattan.
Born Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, she was yet to be known by the world as Lady Gaga, and she was close to her sister, Natali. Even when she became famous and was touring the world, she remained extremely close to Natali, who also featured in her video for “Telephone.”
Angelina Jolie & James Haven
Angelina Jolie is undoubtedly one of the most famous actresses in the world and, with her work in Hollywood, as well as her philanthropic work, Jolie has put in considerable efforts to make a change in the world.
There was one guy in her life before the world got to know of such a star and that is her brother James Haven. James has often joined his sister at red carpet events, and the pair even caused a stir when they were photographed kissing on the lips.
Zac Efron – Dylan Efron
Most teenage girls are aware of who Zac Efron is. After playing the high school basketball player on the hit High School Musical series, he became a teenage heartthrob.
Fortunately, this good-looking actor has a brother, so there are two Efrons girls can now swoon over. Zac has a brother named Dylan. He has said ,“We live together, and we’re different in a lot of ways, but he’s really grounded. He lived a more normal life than I did growing up, so he’s a great barometer for me.”
Scarlett Johansson – Hunter Johansson
Scarlett Johansson has been no stranger to the camera, but this Hollywood beauty is, in fact, a twin. Johansson does not have an identical twin, but a fraternal twin who is a boy named Hunter.
Hunter has also tried his luck with acting, but it is perhaps a hard task to follow in the footsteps of your highly successful sibling, let alone twin. However, the twins did join forces when they shared the screen for the film Manny & Lo.
Jennifer Lopez – Lynda Lopez
Jennifer Lopez has had quite a lengthy career in the spotlight, having been a singer, an actress, and even a judge on American Idol.
She continues to be a stunning entertainer, while also raising her young kids. She has a younger sister who is also a single mom.

Jaden And Willow Smith – Trey Smith
You may have seen Willow Smith whip her hair back and forth, and Jaden Smith star alongside his ever so famous father, Will, in The Pursuit of Happyness, but did you know there is an older Smith sibling?
Will Smith fathered Trey Smith in 1992 with his first wife, Sheree. He starred in the music video for “Just The Two Of Us” and was offered a scholarship to pursue a career in music, but he has been unable to match the success of his younger siblings.
Steph Curry – Seth Curry
It would be hard to believe anyone if they said they did not know who Steph Curry was, since his basketball skills have made him an NBA champion.
His aim and finish on the court have made him second to none, so it is no surprise the Golden State Warriors have never let him go. However, off the court, Steph is Seth Curry’s lesser-known sibling. Seth is his younger brother who plays for the Dallas Mavericks and has a similar shooting touch as his famous sibling.
Sofia Vergara – Sandra Vergara
Sofia Vergara is one of the world’s highest-paid actresses, so you would think that with such a famous sibling, you could also get your foot in the door.
However, this does not seem to be the case for Sandra Vergara, who has worked hard to make a name for herself but hasn’t reached the same level of success. Speaking of her sister, Sandra said, “She is beloved by the public, and so being related to someone who is so dear is a good thing.”
Ryan Gosling – Mandi Gosling
Ryan Gosling proved that good looks ran in his family when he brought his younger sister, Mandi, as his date to the 89th Academy Awards. The gorgeous sister of the talented actor leads a private life but has proven she is talented working behind the scenes.
She has impressively assisted and produced episodes of Dateline and Miss Advised. She also cast the people in Pharrell’s viral music video for “Happy.” That was one video you would definitely want to say you worked on for your resume!
Luke And Owen Wilson – Andrew Wilson
Funny men Luke and Owen Wilson are not only similar with their humor, but they also share the same DNA. While this brother duo is well known, what is less known is that they actually have another brother named Andrew.
Just like his two brothers, Andrew is also an actor, as well as a director. Although he hasn’t had the same success as both Owen and Luke, he has had minor roles in films such as Charlie’s Angels, Zoolander, and The Royal Tenenbaums.
Jared Leto – Shannon Leto

Britney Spears And Jamie-Lynn Spears – Bryan Spears
Britney Spears proved herself to be pop royalty and has been in the limelight since her teenage days. Similarly, her younger sister Jamie-Lynn Spears started her career from a young age and made headlines when she fell pregnant at 16 years old while filming her show Zoey 101.
Meanwhile, the Spears family does have another sibling, and that is their older brother, Bryan. Bryan is a film and television producer who managed his famous sisters and produced their shows such as Zoey 101 and Britney and Kevin: Chaotic.
Sandra Bullock – Gesine Bullock-Prado
Sandra Bullock is an Academy Award-winning actress and has made appearances in her fair share of films during her career. Yet, while she set her sights on the world of acting, her younger sister Gesine focused more on food.
Gesine is a well-known pastry chef who published a food memoir called My Life From Scratch (aka Confections of a Closet Master Baker) and two cookbooks, Sugar Baby and Pie It Forward. Each talented in their own right, both Bullock sisters have proven they’re very good at what they do.
Sylvester Stallone – Frank Stallone
If you hear the name “Stallone,” other than Rocky, Sylvester is bound to come into your mind. Playing a boxing champion made Sylvester famous worldwide, but what few people know is that Stallone has a younger brother named Frank.
He has followed in his brother’s footsteps and has become an actor himself, but has not had the same degree of success as Sylvester. He had a small role in the Rocky franchise, and also appeared in films such as Return of the Roller Blade Seven and Zero Dark Thirty.
Prince Harry And Prince William – Laura Lopes
Prince Harry and Prince William are constantly in the spotlight, be it for a charitable event, the birth of a royal baby or even a royal wedding. However, the one thing we’ve never really heard about is their alleged stepsister – Laura Lopes.

Colin Firth – Jonathan Firth
Colin Firth has played the King of England, won the heart of Bridget Jones, and appeared in one of the most popular Christmas movies, Love Actually.

There is no denying that Michael B. Jordan has evolved into one of the most profitable movie stars in Hollywood today. With breakout roles in movies such as Creed and Black Panther, the sky is the absolute limit for Jordan.
However, he could never ignore where he came from, and absolutely loves his sister, Jamila. According to him, she has made him a better person. “I have a sister. I never really wanted to do females wrong. You can’t act like that,” he said.
Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen – Elizabeth Olsen
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen spent their whole lives in front of the camera, and the Full House alumni have created their own billion-dollar empire in their adult years. With the twins having accumulated so much fame, the rest of the Olsen clan was hidden behind the scenes.
That is until their sister Elizabeth Olsen decided to follow a similar path and become an actress. She made her film debut in 2011 in the critically acclaimed Martha Marcy May Marlene, which won her several breakthrough awards, and starred as the Scarlet Witch in the Avengers movies.
Steve Buscemi – Michael Buscemi
While he has never been the Hollywood poster boy, Steve Buscemi has maintained a steady career in the movie industry over the last 30 years. The Reservoir Dogs star has three brothers and one of them, Michael, is also an actor.
Sure, he has not reached the same sort of heights as Steve, but Michael has had numerous roles in TV and in animation. Michael has appeared in shows such as Gotham, Blue Bloods and the movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.
Miley Cyrus – Noah Cyrus
There is no denying that Miley Cyrus has had a rollercoaster of a career so far in her life. However, one of the stable parts of her life has always been her sister, Noah Cyrus.
It seems like talent runs in the family and Noah has also pursued a career in entertainment. She released her debut single “Make Me (Cry)” in 2016 and has also had some acting roles. She had her first part when she was just two years old, appearing in the TV show Doc.
Alexander and Bill Skarsgard – Gustaf Skarsgard
Over the last decade, the Skarsgard family have developed a reputation as being one of the most talented acting families in the world. With father Stellan having had a long-lasting career, his sons Alexander and Bill also followed in his footsteps.
However, people might be less familiar with their other brother, Gustaff Skarsgard, who is also an actor. He has recently developed a big fan base for his role as Floki in the popular series Vikings.
Hayden Panettiere – Jansen Panettiere
From her on-and-off relationship with Wladimir Klitschko to her roles in shows such as Heroes and Nashville, it seems like Hayden Panettiere has constantly been in the headlines for the last ten years, for one reason or another.
Then there is her little brother, Jansen Panettiere, who also has plenty of talent under his belt. He is probably best known for roles in movies such as The Martial Arts Kid and Ice Age: The Meltdown. He has also worked with Hayden a couple of times.
Adam Levine – Michael Levine
Without a shadow of a doubt, Adam Levine has blossomed into one of the most recognizable faces in the world of pop music. However, he has always held his brother Michael close to his heart, especially when he came out.
“We all really wanted to provide some cushion for him and constantly let him know that it’s OK,” he said. “A lot of people don’t want their kid to be gay and will fight it at all costs. But…You’ve just got to embrace it from the beginning.”
Victoria Beckham – Louise Adams
It has been a long time since Victoria Beckham was touring around the world with the Spice Girls. These days, she is more likely to be following husband David with whatever he is busy doing.
What casual fans might not realize is that Posh Spice has a young sister called Louise Adams. It turns out that Louise was in the entertainment industry before Victoria, having starred in the children’s TV show Dramarama. Unlike Victoria though, Louise got sick of the audition process.
Kris Jenner – Karen Houghton
Kris Jenner and her famous family make headlines on a weekly basis, but while the Kardashian/Jenner family are well-known amongst many, little is known about Kris’ sister.
Karen Houghton is not one to feature on the family’s reality television show, and that is because the younger sister of momager, Kris, is known by the family as the “crazy aunt.” In fact, Karen went through a five-hour surgery procedure in 2016 to look like “beautiful Kris.”
Chris, Luke, and Liam Hemsworth
There is no denying that the Hemsworth brothers are known for more than just their acting skills, but also for their strikingly good looks.
However, many people may not know that Chris and Liam Hemsworth have an older brother named Luke who is also an actor and also inherited their family’s good looks. Luke is not as well-known as his brothers, but the three occasionally make public appearances together. Luke spends most of his time with his wife and their three children in their native Australia.

The two brothers have both made news for ending up behind bars, after driving under the influence and violating parole. Otherwise, the Hilton brothers remain relatively private compared to their sisters and are not as well-known as their elder siblings.
Kelly And Jack Osbourne – Aimee Osbourne
They became household names after appearing on their own reality television series, The Osbournes. However, while the world got to know more about the lives of Sharon, Ozzy, and their children Kelly and Jack, their eldest daughter, Aimee, refused to appear on the show.
Aspiring singer Aimee believed the show would harm her music career and chose not to star alongside her famous family. Remaining completely private to this day, Aimee has revealed she rarely even speaks to her siblings who are firmly in the limelight.
Tom Cruise – Lee Ann, Marian, & Cass
Cruise is known as one of the biggest actors in Hollywood, as well as a follower of the Scientologist beliefs. What people may not know about Tom Cruise is that he is one of four siblings, and he actually has three sisters.
A former girlfriend of Cruise once expressed to the Daily Mail, “I think he grew up too fast, but he was very close with his three sisters. One time he said he’s so close with them they taught him how to kiss.”
The Jonas Brothers – Frankie Jonas
The Jonas Brothers made a name for themselves when they formed a band and toured the world with one another. Little did people know that Joe, Kevin, and Nick have another brother, 17-year-old Frankie Jonas.
He was given the name “Bonus Jonas” because he was too young to be part of his brothers’ band. He did appear alongside his brothers on the reality show, Married to Jonas, and on the Disney Channel movie, Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.
Eddie Redmayne – Tom Redmayne
Fantastic Beasts and The Theory of Everything actor Eddie Redmayne has certainly found success in Hollywood, but the success in the family does not end there.

Tom is the former Assistant Surveyor at Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate services firm that has locations worldwide. As of more recently, he has become the Director of Business Development for Wired.
Tom Hiddleston – Emma Hiddleston
Who among us wasn’t deeply saddened whenever Tom’s character in the Marvel franchise, Loki, was killed off, only to chuckle with glee at his return? Tom isn’t the only talented member of the family, he has two sisters – Emma and Sarah.
Sarah is a journalist in India, but Emma has also caught the acting bug, with roles in several lesser-known TV series’ and providing the voice for Priscilla for the successful video game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt which has now been made into a successful series on Netflix.
Demi Lovato – Madison De La Garza
Successful singer-songwriter Demi Lovato has inspired millions by her wonderful songs, and by sharing her own personal battle with her demons with the world.
Her message of body-positivity and her struggles with addiction have been well-documented, and it’s a good thing she has her family to support her through it all. One member of her family is even in showbiz herself! Madison De La Garza is Demi’s half-sister, best known for her role on the hit TV series Desperate Housewives.
Cameron Diaz – Chimene Diaz
Hollywood starlet Cameron Diaz has retired from the big screen and we’re all pining for her return. The actress, best known for her roles in The Mask, Charlie’s Angels, Shrek and There’s Something About Mary, decided to hang up her acting boots in 2017 after the release of Annie.
But did you know that she has an older sister that is practically her twin? Chimene Diaz is two years Cameron’s senior, but they are carbon copies of each other!
Kate Hudson – Oliver Hudson
There is no denying that Kate Hudson and brother Oliver come from an extremely talented family. Not only is their mother Hollywood actress Goldie Hawn, but they very much consider her husband Kurt Russell as their father figure.
Sure, Oliver Hudson might not have gotten the same sort of buzz for his acting credentials as his sister has. Make no mistake about it though, the is very talented, having starred in My Guide to Becoming a Rock Star back in 2002.
Blake Lively – Eric Lively
These days, Blake Lively is probably best known for being the wife of Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. However, she is a big actress in her own right, having had a major role in the sitcom Gossip Girl.
Moreover, she also has a talented brother – Eric Lively. He has starred in the Showtime series The L Word, as well as the movie The Butterfly Effect 2. It turns out that Eric actually took the maternity photos of Blake when she announced her pregnancy.
Taylor Swift – Austin Swift
While Taylor Swift is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in pop music, her brother Austin also has a fair amount of talent. Truth be told, he is actually well on his way to becoming a successful actor, ever since graduating from Notre Dame in 2015.
Not only has Austin had an internship with Lionsgate, but he has also shot scenes in the movie I.T., starring Pierce Brosnan. “You just respect everyone’s time, everyone that you’re working with,” he said.
Jesse Eisenberg – Hallie Eisenberg
Without a shadow of a doubt, Jesse Eisenberg’s most iconic role came about a decade ago, when he played the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, in the David Fincher-directed drama The Social Network.
However, Jesse isn’t the only Eisenberg who is blessed with talent. His sister, Hallie originally rose to fame after being “The Pepsi Girl” in a number of Pepsi commercials. But Hallie eventually put her acting career on hold in order to go to college.
Gigi & Bella Hadid – Anwar
There is no denying that Gigi and Bella Hadid are two of the most iconic models on the planet. Despite only being in their early 20s, the two young women have achieved so much already, with Gigi being named International Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 2016.
However, casual fans might not realize that they have a brother who is also a model. In 2019, Anwar Hadid started dating British pop star Dua Lipa.
Rami Malek – Sami Malek
The direction that Rami Malek’s career has gone in is absolutely incredible. Originally appearing in sitcoms and small TV shows, the man from L.A. stole scenes with his role in the hit series Mr. Robot before winning the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody.
Some might be confused when they see his twin brother, Sami Malek. While not as famous as Rami, Sami is a small-time actor in his own right.
Chloe Grace Moretz – Trevor Duke Moretz
Chloe Grace Moretz has gracefully transitioned from her reputation as a child actor to a fully-fledged Hollywood superstar. With roles in movies such as Kick-Ass, Hugo, and Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, Moretz’s talent is unquestionable.
What many don’t realize though is that her brother Trevor Duke Moretz is also incredibly talented. Despite not having an acting credit since 2012, Trevor has appeared in movies such as Youth in Revolt, Kick-Ass 2 and The 5th Wave, to name a few.
Meghan Markle – Samantha Markle
Meghan Markle’s sister hit the spotlight during the royal wedding, specifically as she’s been quite outspoken about Meghan marrying Prince Harry and joining the royal family.
Samantha, 53, allegedly did not receive an invitation to the wedding, and potentially even fabricated images of her father looking at photos of the young couple in an Internet cafe. Samantha Markle has spoken out about potentially writing a book about their family’s secrets, trying to jeopardize Meghan’s reputation.
Vanessa Hudgens – Stella Hudgens
Believe it or not, but Vanessa Hudgens is not the only member of her family to be blessed with tons of talent. The High School Musical actress deeply loves her younger sister Stella.
However, she is always worried about her and almost treats her as if she was her own daughter, due to the age gap between them. “She’s 15 and I’m kind of terrified and I feel like a mother, ‘call me when you get to the movies,’ it’s bad,” she said.
Chris Evans – Scott Evans
When you think of Chris Evans, you probably think of his role as one of the most iconic superheroes of all time – Captain America. However, what casual fans might not realize is that he has a close relationship with his brother.
Ever since Scott Evans came out, Chris has been vocal about the importance of being understanding of others who are different from you. “It’s important to understand, whether it’s growing up with women, whether it’s growing up with other ethnic groups,” he said.
Josh Hutcherson – Connor Hutcherson
He is a face known worldwide, mainly thanks to his role as Peeta in the popular Hunger Games series, but Josh Hutcherson is not the only Hutcherson boy born into his family.
Connor Hutcherson is the lesser-known younger brother of the good-looking actor. Speaking of his famous sibling, Connor said, “I am more handsome than Josh is, well jokes apart; it is ironic how people get confused with me and him, we don’t look alike at all.”
Penélope Cruz – Monica Cruz
It is no surprise that the beautiful Penélope Cruz was picked up by a modeling agency at just 15 years old, and at 16 had already made her acting debut.
The successful actress has always been known for her good looks alongside her acting skills, and it seems that these good genes run in the family. Monica Cruz is Penélope’s sister and seems to have followed in her footsteps. Monica is a Spanish actress but is just not on the same level as Penélope.
Emma Watson – Alex Watson
Emma Watson came into our lives as a young Hermoine, and she has proven her worth in Hollywood ever since.
The young wizard from Harry Potter may be one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood, and not everybody could say they have such a cool relative. Alex Watson can, however, and the actress’ younger brother is not shy to be in front of the camera. Good looks run in the family, and Alex has been a model for Burberry campaigns.
James Franco – Dave Franco
Arguably one of the most famous pairs of celebrity brothers on this list is James Franco and his younger brother Dave. While James has established himself over the years as a well-respected actor, writer, and filmmaker, Dave has been gradually following in his footsteps.
The brothers even managed to join forces when they starred together in the comedy The Disaster Artist, with James and Dave playing the eccentric filmmaker Tommy Wiseau and his best friend Greg Sestero, respectively.
Jude Law – Natasha Law
British actor Jude Law has always been one to bring the charm to the big screen. His good looks, British accent, and film roles have won him a significant following of fans.
Meanwhile, Jude has a sister named Natasha who is an artist. Her career is a combination of graphic illustration, photography, and styling. While she may not be a famous name, she does have a big following. Her clients include Vogue, Max Mara, and Samsung, to name a few.
Hilary Duff – Haylie Duff
She’s Hilary Duff’s older sister, and although Hilary has somewhat retired from public life in recent years, she is still a well-known celebrity. Even with her public appearances on the decline, Hilary’s reputation is greater than that of her sister, Haylie.
You definitely know Haylie Duff from productions like Napoleon Dynamite, 7th Heaven, and Summer Wheatley. To be fair, she tried to develop her career on several levels – she acted, wrote, and sang, but even so, she can’t get out of her sister’s shadow.
Rob Lowe – Chad Lowe
Rob Lowe is a well-known and appreciated man in the world of celebrities. He played important roles in The Outsiders and St. Elmo’s Fire, but he also acted in shows like Parks and Recreation and West Wing.
What is not very well known is the fact that his brother, Chad, is also a very talented person. For his portrayal of Jesse in Life Goes On, he won an Emmy. He also appeared in the TV series 24 and Pretty Little Liars. But sadly, his career has not been as shiny as Rob’s high-rising one. But that doesn’t make him any less great an actor!
Julia Roberts – Eric Roberts
Talent has no age limit. And age before beauty does not apply in the acting world, where your little sister may eclipse you. This is the case with Eric, Julia Roberts’ older brother. Now he only deals with B-movies, but in the past, he was also successful. He even won a Golden Globe nomination for his role as Dave in The King of the Gypsies.
He was also acclaimed at the Oscars for his role in Runaway Train, but never reached his sister’s level of success. His performances have always remained at a high level, making him an important presence on the public stage.
Martin Sheen – Joe Estevez
Ramón Gerardo Antonio Estévez, professionally known as Martin Sheen, is a true Hollywood legend, playing roles in highly acclaimed films such as Gandhi, Apocalypse Now, and The Departed. Unfortunately, his younger brother, Joe, has never reached such great success, but he also has connections with the film industry.
He has appeared in several productions such as Samurai Cop 2, Not Another B Movie, and Soultaker. Even if you do not find these movies to your liking, Joe Estevez is still an actor worth appreciating for his effort.
Patrick Swayze – Don Swayze
From this list, many of the brothers might look like each other. But Don Swayze is the real copy of his older brother, Patrick. Their careers do not resemble each other’s very well, as they chose different genres of film. Patrick Swayze appeared in productions such as The Outsiders, Dirty Dancing, Red Dawn, and Point Break.
His brother, Don, appeared more in soap operas, such as The Days of Our Lives and The Young and Restless. His most memorable appearance was in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We just can’t get over how much they look like one another!
Bill Murray – Joel Murray
It’s very hard to match a performance like that given by Bill Murray. His appearances in Ghostbusters, Caddyshack, Groundhog Day, and Saturday Night Live have been memorable and are unforgettable no matter what age you are. Many of his family members tried to match Bill’s success, but no one succeeded like Bill did. But one did come close.
The one who came closest to Bill’s celebrity was Joel, who appeared in a few movies. But, you probably don’t recognize him. He appeared in shows like Dharma and Greg, Shameless, and Mad Men. He enjoys some fame, but he can’t be compared to his brother by a long shot.
Gwyneth Paltrow – Jake Paltrow
Being Blythe Danner’s children, Gwyneth and Jake were always going to be talented. Gwyneth has become a household name over the last two decades. She has acted in movies like Shallow Hal, Avengers, and Contagion. She also had appearances in Glee and The Politician.
Her brother Jake is no stranger to movies, but he prefers to be behind the camera instead. Jake is a director, and even directed The Good Night in 2007, which starred his sister.
Alec, William, and Stephen Baldwin – Daniel Baldwin
The Baldwin family is among the best known in the Hollywood world. Alec Baldwin is the most well known of them, with a remarkable career in acting and commercials such as 30 Rock or Glengarry Glen Ross. William also has a respectable career in film and television, starring in Gossip Girl and Flatliners. The next brother to appear in The Usual Suspects was Stephen.
The last of the brothers, Daniel Baldwin, failed to achieve the performance of his brothers. He also had a few TV appearances, but these cannot be compared with those of his brothers.
Beyonce Knowles – Solange Knowles
Solange Knowles is Beyonce’s sister. You may not know her because she is not as famous as her mega-star sister. Beyonce once said that her sister would never sing with her because she liked being on her own. Who knows what the real reason is for refusing such a collaboration?
Well, we definitely wouldn’t mind seeing them together, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to happen any time soon. Solange has appeared in a few movies and series, including Bring It On: All or Nothing and Homecoming.
Shailene Woodley – Tanner Woodley
You would be hard-pressed to find someone who doesn’t know who Shailene Woodley is. She has some of the biggest movie titles to her name, including the Divergent series, The Fault in our Stars, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. She also appears in TV shows such as The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Big Little Lies.
But what many people don’t know is that she has a younger brother who has a flair for acting too. Tanner has been seen in Boston Legal and in a few smaller short films.
Nicole and Antonia Kidman
Nicole Kidman has made a name for herself after starring in some major box-office hits, but her younger sister, Antonia, is famous in her own right. Born three years after Nicole, the mother-of-six works as an award-winning Australian journalist and TV presenter.
Moreover, she has also starred in two instructional yoga videos and has written two parenting books. The sisters were born in Australia, with Nicole moving to the U.S. to work in Hollywood, whereas Antonia stayed put and only later moved with her husband and brood to Singapore.
Dakota and Grace Johnson
The daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson, Dakota Johnson is an American actress who rose to fame as Anastasia Steele in the Fifty Shades film series, although she has been in the industry since ’99. In any case, thanks to her performance in the trilogy series, Dakota has undeniably become a household name.
What you may have not known, though, is that she has a younger sister named Grace who has a couple of acting credits herself. While she spends most of her time modeling, Grace has appeared in two video shorts, one entitled Hard2Care: Can’t Sleep Interlude and the other Blame Baby: Headcase.
Ashton Kutcher – Michael Kutcher
He is best known for starring in comedies such as That 70’s Show and for being married to his former co-star, Mila Kunis.
While you may have watched his romantic life unfold in front of the cameras, you may not know about his life before he was famous and his family. Did you know that Ashton Kutcher is actually a twin? Michael Kutcher is Ashton’s twin brother, and he has cerebral palsy. Michael is a spokesperson for the advocacy organization, Reaching for the Stars.
Gisele Bundchen – Patricia Bundchen
Gisele Bundchen is one of the world’s most famous underwear models and is known for gracing the lucrative Victoria’s Secret runway.
What may not be known about one of the highest-paid models in the industry is that she has a twin sister. The fraternal twins are best friends and, while Patricia Bundchen may not be a famous face like her sister, Gisele makes sure their relationship is documented to her followers on social media to highlight their close bond.
Brad Pitt – Doug Pitt
You must be living under a rock if you’ve never heard of Brad Pitt and, as one of the most famous actors in Hollywood, it must be hard to live under his shadow.
Doug Pitt is known for being Brad’s brother, but he has chosen to live in his home state of Missouri and to live his life away of the attention of the media. When approached about his brother, Doug has previously explained how he is proud of him but has no interest in speaking about him.
Rashida Jones – Kidada Jones
Over the last decade or so, Rashida Jones has firmly established herself as a jack of all trades when it comes to film and TV. From her roles in shows such as Parks and Recreation to her own show Angie Tribeca, Rashida is a true force to be reckoned with.
Seeing that she is the daughter of the late model/actress Peggy Lipton and music producer Quincy Jones, it makes sense that her sister, Kidada Jones, would also have one foot in the world of fame.
