Most of you younger readers may have never heard of The Proclaimers, to be fair, most of the older ones probably haven’t either. This Scottish duo are the identical twins behind the band, best known for songs like “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)”, “Sunshine on Leith”, and “I’m On My Way.” Who would have guessed that the Scottish duo behind The Proclaimers were identical twins?
Charlie and Craig Reid, who’s band have been active since the 80s, and have released 11 studio albums since. And get this, they still tour together today! What a wonderful thing to still be rocking together with your twin and best friend for so many decades.
Harry and Luke Treadaway
These dapper twins are Harry and Luke Treadaway who made their professional debut as conjoined twin brothers in the "mockumentary" Brothers Of The Head. Fun fact: during filming they were actually connected to each other for as long as 15 hours a day! They also had to sleep in the same bed to emulate the deep bond of their characters would likely have had.
They should write a book about such an experiment, could you imagine being attached to someone for that long of a period? No thanks, pass!
Melisa and Mikele Barber
This athletic duo is the American track and field sprint athletes, Melisa and Mikele Barber. Between the two they've managed to rack upon accolades throughout their careers.
Melisa is a three-time (!) U.S. and World Champion while her sister Mikele is an Olympian, who won gold the 4 x 100 meters relay race in 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, and took the gold again at the 100 meters in the 2007 Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Name a faster duo, we'll wait.
Jessie and D’Lila Combs
The lovely Jessie and D’Lila Combs a.k.a. "The Comb Twins" are identical twin daughters of musician and businessman, Sean Combs, who you probably know better as Puff Daddy or P. Diddy, and the gorgeous model, Kim Porter. The twins actually very much resemble their late mother who passed away last year.
The 11-year-old twins are wasting no time, and are already starting to make a name for themselves. They've modeled and have walked down runways, like their mother, and have entertaining social media accounts like their dad. We'll surely see great things come from these two in the future, they'll make their mama proud.
Brook and Robin Lopez
Brook and Robin Lopez are both professional basketball players and twin brothers. The two absolutely dominated when they played at Standford, and today they're continuing their athletic careers at the highest league, which is the NBA of course.
And get this, today they both play on the same team, the Milwaukee Bucks! Luckily Robin has the hair to help their teammates distinguish between them during games. Or perhaps it doesn't matter which one of them gets the ball, they both know what to do on the court.
