Many people are fascinated by twins. It is because they're not that common, especially identical ones. Here are some of the most famous twins around the world due to their role in the entertainment industry. While in some cases, we can barely distinguish them, in others, they don't look alike at all.

We didn't even know some of the stars we'll see next are part of a set of twins. Not all of them share the same passion for entertainment, and some prefer a private life away from the camera. So let's see who are the most famous twins and what they're up to these days.

Scarlett and Hunter Johansson, 35 - Actress and Campaign Advisor

Scarlett Johansson is one of the most successful actresses of her generation. She started showing her love for entertainment from a very young age. What most people don't know is that she's the eldest twin. Scarlett's twin, Hunter, might be taller than her, but he's the youngest brother, probably by seconds.

Although Hunter showed a slight interest in acting during childhood, he decided to pursue a different career. To do so, he attended the University of Vermont. However, Scarlett has brought him to numerous events with her. Furthermore, we're sure Hunter was proud of his sister's performance in her newest film, Marriage Story.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, 33 - Fashion Designers

These two are perhaps the most famous twins of all time. They might also be the wealthiest twins in the industry. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won everyone's hearts when they made their debut on the tv comedy, Full House. From there, a long list of movies and shows consolidated their acting careers.

However, after building an empire, they decided to go for the fashion industry. The two started to create clothing for different stores, and they now have a couture brand called The Row. They recently shocked everyone by wishing actress Ashley Benson a happy birthday on social media. The Olsen twins are famous for disliking these platforms.

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, 38 - Venture Capitalists

Cameron and Tyler first came up with the idea for ConnectU, a social media platform used by students of Harvard University. Therefore, they sued Mark Zuckerberg when he turned this idea into Facebook, reaching a $65 million settlement. However, they've done much more than that.

The Winklevoss Twins, also have significant investments in other businesses, which has allowed them to accumulate a combined fortune of over $1 billion. Interestingly, they also represented the US in the Beijing Olympics as part of the rowing team. How random is that?

Jenna And Barbara Bush, 38 - Tv Host and Activist

Jenna and Barbara Bush are the first twins to have lived in the White House as the children of the President. During this time, many people referred to them as The First Twins, due to them being part of the First Family. Since then, they have chosen different paths.

Jenna is very involved in media, and she's one of the hosts of the Today show, where she has a special segment with Hoda Kotb. Meanwhile, Barbara is directly involved in activism and charity work. She founded the Global Health Corps, an organization that looks to provide opportunities to leaders around the world.

Brittany And Cynthia Daniel, 43 - Actress and Photographer

These twins paths might have started together, but they quickly went their separate ways. When they were teenagers, they starred on the show, Sweet Valley High, in which they had numerous adventures while in high school. However, after the end fo the show, things changed.

While Brittany stayed in the acting industry, Cynthia went on a different path. She decided to study photography and has had no appearances in film since 2000. Nowadays, they are both happily married. However, Brittany had to battle non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 2011, which she thankfully overcame.

Jill and Jacqueline Hennessy, 51 - Actress and Journalist

These Canadian twins started together in the industry. They both felt a deep love for performing, and they would create plays when they were children, charging money from the other children in the neighborhood to see them act. However, Jill was the one that stayed in the acting industry.

Her most famous roles have been on the shows, Law and Order and Crossing Jordan. However, Jacqueline didn't go far from the studios. She became a well-known journalist and is now a tv host. Interestingly, she once covered for her sister while she was shooting Law and Order. The benefits of having a twin!

Giovanni and Marissa Ribisi, 45 - Actor and Actress

Giovani and Marissa Ribisi are another set of twins with a deep love for acting. They started participating in the industry at a young age. Giovani is probably better-known thanks to his recurrent role on Friends. However, he has also been part of shows such as Sneaky Pete, and films like Avatar and Ted.

Meanwhile, Marissa has been in numerous shows and films. Some of these are True Crime and the 1993 version of Tales of the City. She also writes and designs. Marisa launched her line of clothes in 2007. It's called Whitley Kros. Marissa has two kids, and Giovani has one girl.

Dylan and Cole Sprouse, 27 - Brewmaster, Actor

Sometimes, when you pretend you're a millionaire, you become a millionaire. No? Well, this is what happened to Dylan and Cole Sprouse. They became famous by playing millionaire twins, Zack and Cody in the shows The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and The Suite Life on Deck.

However, after their great success, only Cole has been acting consistently. He has a role on the hit show, Riverdale. While Dylan hasn't announced his retirement, he's been more focused on opening his new business. Dylan became a brewmaster, and he now owns the All-Wise Meadery in Brooklyn, NY.

Tia And Tamera Mowry, 41 - Actresses and Tv Host

Tia and Tamera Mowry first rose to fame for the tv show, Sister, Sister. They became very popular and landed the starring roles in the Disney film Twitches. Although they both continue to be active in the industry, Tia has more acting projects. Her current show is called Family Reunion.

Meanwhile, Tamera has focused on hosting. Her show, The Real, is an Emmy-winning show, and she shares the hosting panel with actresses such as Adrienne Houghton. They have also started other businesses together, such as a line of maternity products called Need Brand. It was an excellent way for them to embrace pregnancy and motherhood.

Nicholas Brendon and Kelly Donovan, 48 - Actor and Stunt Man

Nicholas Brendon took up acting as a way to overcome a stutter. After a period of struggle and abandoning this career in favor of becoming a doctor, he landed the role of Xander on the hit tv show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. His brother, Kelly, started to participate as a wardrobe assistant.

Kelly also appeared during one episode of Buffy in which Xander is split in two. After trying to go for an acting career, he continued to work in the wardrobe department and as a stunt man. Meanwhile, Nicholas has participated in other acting projects, including his role as Kevin Lynch on Criminal Minds.

Jon and Dan Heder, 42 - Actor and Visual Effects Artist

We all remember Jonathan Heder from Napoleon Dynamite. This film made him an unforgettable face, and to this day, he attends festivals and forums to talk about it. However, he has continued to act. Interestingly, most of his work in numerous projects is mainly as a voice actor.

Jon's twin brother, Daniel, is also involved in the industry. However, he has chosen a position that has him more in touch with the technical part of films. Through the use of technology, he has created visual effects for films such as Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers, and Alita.

Charles and Max Carver, 31 - Actors

These twins started their acting careers together on the show Desperate Housewives. They also made joint appearances on Teen Wolf and The Leftovers. However, they have had separate roles. Charlie decided to explore his fate on Broadway, and he had a position on the show The Boys in the Band.

There are some interesting differences between these twins. One of these is that they don't have the same birthday! Charlie was born on July 31st, and Max was born seven minutes later, on August 1st. We wonder if their parents organized them separate birthday parties as they grew up.

Deidre And Andrea Hall, 72 - Actresses

It's funny how things work out sometimes. Deidre Hall saw acting as a hobby while she went to school to become a psychologist. However, things changed when she realized that acting was her passion, and she decided to dedicate her time to it fully. Deidre is now considered one of the best soap opera actresses.

She encouraged her sister, Andrea, to act too. They both starred together on the show Days of Our Lives until Andrea decided to retire. Despite this, Deidre continued to work, taking a couple of brief hiatus from the show during the four decades she's been on it. She plays the role of Marlena Evans.

Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit, 29 - Sound Specialists

These twins' acting careers are limited to their time on Full House. The only other time they have chosen to act has been in two episodes of this show's reboot, Fuller House. However, they haven't left the industry. Interestingly, they are both interested in sound effects.

Therefore, they have worked in small and big productions in this capacity. Blake has worked in the sound effects of shows like Castle Rock and FBI. Meanwhile, Dylan has also participated in massive projects such as the adaptation from George R.R. Martin's books, Game of Thrones.

Shawn and Aaron Ashmore, 40 - Actors

As it turns out, Iceman from the X-Men franchise is not interpreted by the same actor that played Jimmy on the tv show Smallville. They're identical twins that are both dedicated to acting! Shawn and Aaron Ashmore have been acting since they were young, and they've starred together and separate on different projects.

Currently, Aaron is looking forward to his next project titled The Retreat, which is a psychological thriller. Meanwhile, Shawn is part of the show The Rookie, which is currently in its second season. While they look practically identical, Aaron is a bit taller than Shawn.

James and Oliver Phelps, 33 - Actors

James and Oliver Phelps are any Harry Potter fan's favorite twins. They played the role of the Weasley pranksters, Fred and George Weasley. Interestingly, they failed to take a test in school to be able to audition for their roles. Like other young actors of the franchise, they finished their education on set with tutors.

James and Oliver continued to be very involved in Harry Potter events despite the release of the last film in 2011. They continuously tour to promote the expansion of the Wizarding World, and they often attend forums where they come in close contact with their loving fans.

Gayle And Gillian Blakeney, 53 - Actresses

Gayle and Gillian were born in Australia, and they knew that they wanted to be in front of the camera from a very young age. It led them to persuade their mother to allow them to take singing classes. Thanks to their talent, they won a competition and entered a program shown on national tv.

Years later, they both had roles on the soap opera, Neighbours. However, they eventually left Australia to pursue a career in Los Angeles. They have released different singles throughout the years. In 2019, they reprised their roles on Neighbours for a short storyline.

Spencer And Peyton List, 21 - Actors

Peyton and Spencer List are both actors who started their careers at a very young age. Unlike many twins in the industry, they have very rarely appeared together on shows or films. Peyton has made a career on Disney, while Spencer did appear as a guest on many well-established shows.

Although Peyton is currently a Disney star, her big breakthrough was in the film 27 Dresses. She played the part of the protagonist when she was a child. The success of the film opened many opportunities for Payton, and she has been increasing her earnings ever since.

Camilla and Rebecca Rosso, 25 - Actresses

Better known as Milly and Becky Rosso, these sisters were first discovered while they attended a taping for The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. In consequence, they participated in about seven episodes of the show. They also appeared on The Suite Life On Deck for just one episode.

However, their most significant role was in the film, Legally Blondes. It was one of Reese Witherspoon's first productions, and it was a sequel to Legally Blonde. The film went straight to DVD, though, and it wasn't very successful. Becky and Milly have stayed out of celebrity news and the industry for the past nine years.

Melanie And Martina Grant, 48 -  Actresses

Christian And Joseph Cousins, 36 - Retired Actors

These American twins had the majority of their acting career when they were only children. One of the most famous roles played by Christian and Joseph Cousins was as Dominic in film Kindergarten Cop. They got to act alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. It did put them on the map.

However, they must have realized that acting wasn't their true passion. The twins stopped in 1997, around the time they went into high school.

Jean and Liz Sagal have acting genes in their DNA. Their father was an actor, and most of their other siblings are actors as well. Liz and Jean became known after they starred on the short-lived show, Double Trouble. They have participated in shared and individual projects as actresses.

However, they have both explored other roles within the industry. Jean has worked as a director for different shows, such as Two and a Half Men.  Meanwhile, Liz is more interested in writing. She has written scripts for Charmed and Monk. It has allowed them to diversify their occupations while staying in the industry.

Brent And Shane Kinsman, 22 - Former Actors

Brent and Shane Kinsman first rose to fame for their roles on the film Cheaper by the Dozen and the following movie, Cheaper by the Dozen 2. They later went on to portray the mischevious Scavo twins on the successful tv show, Desperate Housewives. It has been their last role to date.

We don't know if they will go back to the industry. Considering the twins are only 22 years old, the word retirement might be too munch. However, their lack of roles during the past eight years suggests that they might be more interested in following other pursuits away from the spotlight.

Brie and Nikki Bella, 36 - Entrepreneurs

Brie and Nikki Bella are former wrestlers who have built their line of health and beauty products. They also started a podcast, and they're considered some of the most successful female wrestlers of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). They have been very open about their lives and even had a reality tv show.

While Brie is already a mom, Nikki has stated that she's not ready for motherhood just yet. Furthermore, in 2019 she has been trying to persuade Brie to return to wrestling. It is not unheard of among WWE fighters, who often say goodbye to the mat for good before coming back again for more.

Laverne Cox and M. Lamar, 47 - Actress and Artist

Not many people know that acter Laverne Cox has a twin. Interestingly, everyone that has seen Orange Is the New Black has seen M. Lamar. He portrayed Laverne's character before her transition. Laverne garnered much recognition for her role on this long-running show produced by the streaming tv platform, Netflix.

Lamar is a well-known artist who uses different methods to express himself. From music to multimedia, he has an important cultural message to share with the world. It has made him a trendy artist in New York and the US in general.

Bryan and Denny Kirkwood started acting at a very young age. They would perform for their family and friends since they were eight years old. However, it wasn't until they were both coursing higher studies that they realized this was their true passion and started to pursue it actively.

One of Denny's most significant roles was in the film Never Been Kissed, in which Drew Barrymore starred. For Bryan, the show One World was his big breakthrough. Denny would often make appearances on it portraying Ben's brother, of course. They haven't been very active in the industry during the past few years.

Lindsay And Sidney Greenbush, 49 - Retired Actresses

Lindsay and Sidney Greenbush both played the part of Carrie Ingalls on the show, Little House on the Prairie. Since they were identical, the public had no clue the twins were portraying the same character. After appearing in commercials and other small projects, they both decided to leave the industry.

Sidney probably took a liking to animal care after she wed a horse breeder. Unfortunately, her husband passed away in 2009. Meanwhile, Lindsay married Daniel Sanchez, whom she met on the set of the show. They didn't meet again until many years later when their love blossomed.
