35 famous siblings that have taken over Hollywood, from the Fanning sisters to Florence Pugh and her brother
Famous siblings are everywhere in Hollywood. Some of the most iconic duos, trios, and quadruplets in La La Land come from the same families. Think the Kardashian sisters, The Jackson 5, Beyonce and Solange Knowles, Serena and Venus Williams – the list goes on.
It makes biological sense since they're cut from the same cloth. However, there are some siblings amongst some of our favourite A-Listers that are not as well known despite working in the same industry. For example, Margaret Qualley came to public recognition with the incredible Netflix series Maid, but she also has a sister Rainey who has been knocking off the socks of people with her acting talents. Meanwhile, Hollywood royalty Florence Pugh also has a brother in the business that we didn't know about. Say hello to Toby Sebastian, who has appeared in Game of Thrones.
Sometimes, when people discover celebrity siblings, they're shocked. Case in point, when the internet went wild after learning that Elizabeth Olsen is related to the teen dream duo, Mary-Kate and Ashley. Bit late to the party, huns? Another shocker was learning that actor Jonah Hill has an equally famous sister Beanie Feldstein, who stars in the movie Booksmart and Impeachment: American Crime Story. Though they go by different surnames, as Jonah swapped his middle name as a stage name, the similarity in their facial features really gave it all away!
“Meghan let's be sisters.”
