From Dylan and Cole Sprouse to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, we are all familiar with Hollywood’s most famous twin siblings who decided to step into the entertainment world together.

Here, L’OFFICIEL rounds up some of the biggest celebrities who you probably didn’t know have a twin sibling.

Heartthrob and That '70s Show star Ashton Kutcher celebrates his birthday today, but he's not the only one. The actor surprisingly has a fraternal twin brother, Michael, who also turns 43 today. While the two lead very different lives, they remain close. Michael graduated from Mount Mercy University with a degree in Business Management and Finance. Today, he is an advocate and motivational speaker for Reaching for the Stars and the Cerebral Palsy Foundation, as he has lived with the disorder since birth.

Recognized for his impeccable performance in Mr. Robot and Bohemian Rhapsody, actor Rami Malek became a Hollywood sensation in the past few years. The actor isn't the only one making a mark in Los Angeles, however. His fraternal twin brother, Sami, is a middle school teacher at the STEM Academy of Hollywood.
Scarlett and Hunter Johansson

Scarlett may be one of Hollywood’s most recognized actresses, with her anticipated Marvel film Black Widow to debut this year. Aside from acting, Scarlett works alongside her twin brother, Hunter, on his foundation Solar Responders. Founded by Hunter, the non-profit organization helps first responders after natural disasters. The duo also worked together on President Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
Vin Diesel and Paul Vincent
The successful Fast and Furious star Vin Diesel, born Mark Sinclair Vincent, has a fraternal twin brother who works behind-the-scenes in Hollywood. Paul Vincent lives his life out of the spotlight as a graphics and sound producer.
Gisele and Patricia Bündchen
Last year, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and her fraternal twin sister, Patricia, celebrated four decades together. Gisele shared a heartfelt post expressing her unconditional love for her twin "Pati," saying, “How lucky I was to be born with my twin and best friend!”
Laverne Cox and M Lamar

Orange is the New Black actress Laverne Cox has a twin brother, M Lamar, who made an important cameo on the Netflix series. Cox played Sophia Burset, a trans woman, and in the episode that tells her character's backstory, Lamar stepped in to play the character pre-transition. While Lamar isn't a professional actor, he does have experience in the arts as he is a successful composer, musician, and artist. Although the twins pulled off playing the same character on TV, their style in real life couldn't be more different-Cox is all about the glam, while her brother prefers a goth look.
Kiefer and Rachel Sutherland
Known for crimefighting show 24, actor Kiefer Sutherland has a twin sister, Rachel Sutherland, who also works in entertainment. Rachel, however, opted to stay on the other side of the lens as a production manager for a number of TV shows.
