There was an ad a couple of years ago featuring a rather famous celebrity’s brother.
Remember, Doug Pitt for the Virgin mobile ad?
If you don’t, here’s what he looked like:
People collectively lost their minds to realise that, 1) Brad Pitt had a brother (who we didn't know about) and, 2) Ummm, he awkwardly lives in his brother's shadow.
A friend recently reminded me of said ad earlier this week, which sent me down a dark celebrity sibling rabbit hole.
And, in particular, celebrity twins.
I'm not talking about the popular twins we know about, like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, or Benji and Joel Madden.
I'm talking about the Doug Pitts of the world.
Scarlett and Hunter Johansson
Maybe this one isn't so secret because Hunter is often his sister's right-hand man on red carpets.
Exhibit A:
While Hunter did some acting during the 90s, he eventually continued his career in politics.
Fun fact: he was even part of the original campaign that elected Barack Obama in 2008 and secured his re-election in 2012.
Listen: Anne Stephens talks Sarah Macdonald through raising two sets of twins in two years. Post continues after audio.
Laverne Cox and M Lamar
Okay, so this is the one that has properly shaken me.
