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.
Jon Heder and Dan Heder
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.
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'.
Shawn Ashmore and Aaron Ashmore
If you were a fan of 'Smallville' then you’d definitely know that these two are identical twins. The duo has acted together in several films as well as held roles apart from one another. Shawn starred in the 'X-Men' film series as Iceman.
Although they are identical twins, they rock different hairstyles and facial hair and so, they are distinguishable. But, if they had the same hairstyle then it would be pretty difficult to tell who’s who, especially considering that they have the same tattoo on their wrists, which reads “GMA” (Good Man Ashmore), which their grandfather also bore.
