24+ Celebrities You Didn’t Know Have a Twin
If we had a twin, we would probably tell everyone about it and post it all over social media. Sharing the same womb with a sibling sounds like something worth bragging about! But when it comes to Hollywood stars like Scarlett Johansson and Vin Diesel, they’ve kept this rare detail private.
Many fans are shocked to learn that some of the biggest names in celebrity news actually have twin brothers or sisters. These rare celebrity facts are not often talked about in the media. So if you’re into Hollywood gossip or love discovering famous twins, here are some celebrities with twin siblings that you probably didn’t know about.
Elvis and Jesse Presley
It might shock you to know that music legend Elvis Presley was actually a twin. His brother, Jesse Garon Presley, was sadly stillborn just 35 minutes before Elvis was born.
Imagine a world with two Kings of Rock and Roll! While we’ll never know what path Jesse might have taken, this remains one of the most emotional celebrity sibling stories in music history.
Alanis and Wade Morissette
90s music icon Alanis Morissette is known for her powerful voice and deep lyrics. But did you know she has a twin brother?

Kiefer and Rachel Sutherland
Kiefer Sutherland, star of hit movies and shows like Designated Survivor, has a twin sister named Rachel.
Unlike her famous brother, Rachel works behind the scenes in Hollywood as a production manager. They may look alike, but Rachel chose a more private and technical role in the entertainment industry.
