Gisele Bündchen and Patricia Bündchen are fraternal twins from Brazil. The Bündchens come from a big family that includes five girls. They also appear to be pretty close, often appearing together at fashion events.

Fraternal twins often have some similarities in their facial features but a majority of the time you would not know they were twins if you didn't ask. Even if you didn't notice they were twins it's hard to deny that good looks run in their family.

Best known for his Napoleon Dynamite film and character, Jon Heder has an identical twin brother named Dan. They are a close pair and started a production company together.

Give them the same haircut and lose the mustache and these guys could have split time on the screen in Napoleon Dynamite and almost nobody would have noticed the difference. This is a great reminder that you can have the face for Hollywood stardom and still go in a different off-screen direction.

Rachel took a whack at something different and works behind the camera supervising television post production. When you're born into a family of Hollywood heavyweights it's very likely you'll find your way into the "family business" even if it's not in front of the camera.

Nick was a Backstreet boy which likely inspired Aaron to go out and try his hand in the music field. Angel also chose to work in entertainment but focused on building her modeling career. It's another example of family members catching the Hollywood bug and proving these have the skills to master their respective crafts.
