If you happen to spot certain actors, singers or supermodels out running errands or in line for a coffee, just remember that you might actually be seeing their twin.

What's better than keeping up with your favorite actor?

Maybe it's finding out that there's more DNA where they came from!

Famous siblings are relatively common, of course, from the Brothers Hemsworth and Jonas to the trio of sisters who make up the band Haim, and so many stars count one or more siblings as their best friends in the world, business partners, roommates, etc. But there are only so many who bunked together before they were even born.

There are sets of celebrity twins you know well because they've been building their brand together every step of the way, à la Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and others who you've seen a lot of, only...you're just not sure which one is in which thing.

And then there are stars who were born as one-half of a pair and their brother or sister has a regular job, so you may not know who they are—but rest assured that their biggest fan is usually their twin. Or, in Gisele Bündchen's case, her business manager!

"If there is a truly altruistic person I know in my life, it's my brother," Scarlett Johansson told People in 2020 of her twin, Hunter, who founded the first-responder aid organization Solar Responders. "He reminds me to be a better person all the time. I'm incredibly proud of him."

Now, here are the celebs with twins—we're looking at you Ashton Kutcher and brother Michael—you didn't know about, or a sibling you didn't know was their twin:

Michael and Ashton Kutcher

At birth, Ashton weighed 10.5 pounds and Michael, a surprise arrival five minutes later to parents who thought they were expecting a son, weighed 4 pounds. "I tell people he must have ate everything while we were in the womb," Michael, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 3 and received a heart transplant at 13, told the Associated Press in 2012.

But the activist and father of three eventually forgave Ashton—for his big appetite and for spilling the beans about Michael's condition years ago in an interview.

"I was very angry. Very angry. I remember speaking to him about it," Michael told TODAY Parents in May. "I didn't want to be the face of CP. I never talked about it." Ultimately, however, he realized that "Chris [Ashton's actual first name] did me the biggest favor he's ever done because he allowed me to be myself."

The That '70s Show star told TODAY Parents, "My brother's daily actions remind me that life isn't about running around challenges—it's about running through them. Mike has a relentless work ethic and a deep compassion for others."

Hunter and Scarlett Johansson

"There are few places and moments when my sister can move about without being recognized," Hunter told Parade in 2015, noting that they led "very normal city lives" growing up with their two older siblings in New York. "When those rare instances happen," he continued, "I am reminded of a time before her celebrity, when we were kids, and I treasure that. She is my other half. Nothing is more important to me than my twin."

Scarlett would agree, saying of her activist brother, who at the time was working at a nonprofit that was helping to rebuild homes after Hurricane Sandy, "I feel very connected to him. He's the most golden-hearted person. I think a lot of people spend their life looking for a partner, someone to be a mirror to reflect upon, to remind them that they've lived. You want someone to tell you what he witnessed in your life. My twin brother has always been that for me."

Sami and Rami Malek

Yes, they've pretended to be each other here and there over the years. Sami, who's younger by four minutes, is a teacher now, but as kids "we did some bad stuff," Rami said on Jimmy Kimmel Live, noting that they've looked less exactly the same as time has gone by.

Luckily their version of bad-boy behavior was Rami performing a monologue from a Greek tragedy for his unprepared brother in class one day. "It's going to give me the points I need to get my degree," the actor recalled Sami, who was a few units shy of graduating, telling him. In Rami's version of events, after the applause he garnered raised the teacher's suspicions, she pulled him aside and asked, "'How did you learn how to do that?'" He replied, "'Oh, it's just a hobby.'" She asked if he would perform an encore for her next class, but he excused himself, saying he was parked in a red zone and had to go.
