Half-Famous Twins

I would guess that most parents of twins want their children to know that just because they spent nine months together in a womb doesn’t mean they have to spend the next 90 years joined at the emaciated hip like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Take for example these celebrities, who you might not know are half of a twin pair. While one walks the red carpet, the other is way behind the scenes, if anywhere near the world of fame at all.

Scarlett Johansson and her twin brother, Hunter. He was a community organizer in Manhattan, until he joined Obama’s election team in Denver.

Then there’s this foxy funny guy whose twin status was a bit of a surprise.

Ashton Kutcher is twin brother to Michael, who was born with cerebral palsy. Michael sells insurance back in Ohio.

One might feel sorry for Gisele Bundchen’s twin sister, Patricia, except that, as her model sister’s manager, she’s made a nice living thanks to the pretti(er) one.

Isabella Rossellini is the pretty one, her sister Ingrid, the smart one. Actually, they’re both pretty and smart. But, you know how easy it is to label.

“24″ star Kiefer Sutherland has a twin sister, Rachel, who also works in the industry — but she’s on the other side of the camera.
