Celebrity Twins

Twins are one of the neatest things! Can you imagine having a brother or sister who looks like you? It would be so freaky and cool, just think of the tricks you could pull on people. Check out these celebrities who have a twin you may not be aware of.

Alanis Morissette
Under Rug Swept's Alanis Morissette, who grew up in Ottawa, Canada, didn't grow up an only child. In fact, she has a twin brother named Wade who shares her birthday on June 1, 1974. Wade Morissette can brag that he is a whole 12 minutes older than Alanis. The singer claims she shares twin telepathy with Wade, and that she is in tune with where he's at in life, but not with his specific thoughts. Spooky. The pair is really close and Alanis Morissette's song, No Pressure Over Cappuccino, is written about, and dedicated to, Wade who she talks about at most of her shows.

Aaron Carter
Aaron Carter's brother Nick Carter may be the most talked-about Carter sibling but he can't claim the title of twin. That goes to Aaron Carter's twin sister, Angel Charissma who is a whopping two minutes older than the blonde cutie. Their birthday is December 7, 1987. Oh Aaron - it must be pretty cool to be a twin!

Nicholas Brendon
Buffy's wacky sidekick and proud Scooby Gang member, Nicholas Brendon (Xander,) has an identical twin brother. In fact, Nicholas' twin, Kelly Donovan, scored a part on Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the episode where Xander gets split in two! Bet you thought it was camera tricks! The two - born April 12, 1971 - have different last names. That's cuz neither of 'em actually use their family last name of Schultz. Both cuties use their middle names as last names!

Justin Timberlake
This curly-haired *NSYNCer has two step-brothers, Stephen and Jonathan, but did you know he had a twin too? Justin Timberlake had a twin sister, Laura Katherine, who died minutes after birth. He mentions her sometimes in the liner notes of *NSYNC albums.

Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the most famous twins around. The Olsen twins were born on June 13, 1986 and landed their big acting gig in 1987 sharing the role of Michelle Tanner on the comedy series Full House. The Olsen twins starred on the show until 1995. Since then, they've recorded CDs, star in their Mary-Kate & Ashley videos and star in the big-screen flick, It Takes Two. These twins have hit the jackpot!

Evan & Jaron
This dark-haired singing duo from Atlanta, Georgia is enjoying a singing career as a twosome. Identical twins, Evan Lowenstein and Jeremy Jaron Lowenstein, have a hit on the Serendipity soundtrack called The Distance.

Elvis Presley
Did you know the The King of Rock 'n' Roll, Elvis Presley, had a twin? Elvis' twin brother, Jesse Garon Presley, died at birth (he was born stillborn) on January 8, 1935. Can you imagine if there had been two Kings? Elvis has said that he always felt like something was "missing."
