Not many people know that the actor who played Napoleon Dynamite, Jon Heder, has an identical twin brother. Can you imagine that? Two Napoleons! The brothers have a very close bond and even started a production company together.
Considering that these two look exactly alike, Jon could have gotten away with having his twin brother come to the set of Napoleon Dynamite and pretending to be him and nobody would know. Who doesn’t wish they had a twin so they could do things like that? Despite that Dan hasn’t gone the acting route like his brother, he still is involved in the production world and has worked as a visualization artist on several big films like the Captain America franchise and Spiderman.
Jason London and Jeremy London
Identical twin brothers Jason and Jeremy London have both pursued careers as actors, although it doesn’t seem like their careers ever really took off. Jeremy had roles in 'Party of Five', '7th Heaven' and 'I’ll Fly Away'. Meanwhile, his brother is most recognized for his role in 'Dazed and Confused'.
Although they’ve both had roles in big cult classics and their devilish good looks, they haven’t been much on the Hollywood front as of late. Perhaps it has something to do with their bad-boy image. In 2011, Jeremy was on Celebrity Rehab. His ex-wife, Melissa, was also in treatment herself.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss
The Winklevoss twins, or sometimes called Winklevi, are popular people in the tech world. Cameron and Tyler filed a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, for allegedly taking their idea. In the David Fincher film The Social Network, both twins were played by actor Armie Hammer.
Nowadays, the twins spend their energy on BitInstant, a bitcoin payment processor. Being multi-million dollar entrepreneurs would be more than enough, but apparently not for the brothers. They are also very successful rowers.
Siva Kaneswaran and Kumar Kaneswaran
Siva Kaneswaran is one-fifth of the British boy band “The Wanted.” He has an identical twin brother named Kumar. The two look so much alike that Kumar could take his place on the red carpet and nobody would know.
The two come from a big family in Dublin. They are two of seven siblings! While Siva is the model and more famous of the two, Kumar has still acted a bit. To date, he has been in two movies: 'Rock Rivals' and 'Uncle Max'.
Tegan and Sara Quin
The identical twin girls Tegan and Sara Quin are best known as being the musicians in Tegan and Sara, a Canadian indie-pop duo. They are both songwriters for the duo but they actually play several instruments. Together, they have released eight albums and they even got a Grammy nomination for their live album “Get Along.” The twins have been supportive of one another for a very long time. They started writing songs and playing music when they were just 15 years old. They formed their first band together, called Plunk.
Before they became known as Tegan and Sara, they were known as Sara and Tegan. However, this confused fans into thinking that their duo was actually one person named “Sara Antegan.” So the twins renamed themselves as Tegan and Sara to clear up the confusion. Sara and Tegan are both openly gay and big advocates in the LGBT community.
