20 Celebrities You Didn't Know Have a Twin
From Ashton Kutcher to Laverne Cox, you may not have realized there were so many celebrity twins.
When you think of celebrity twins, famous duos like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen or Tegan and Sara Quin might come to mind. But what you might not know is that plenty of famous stars have less famous twin siblings, too. Academy Award winner Rami Malek's twin brother works as a teacher, for example, while Scarlett Johansson's twin brother works in politics. Read on to learn about some of the stars you didn't know have a fraternal or identical partner in crime.

Laverne Cox & M. Lamar
Laverne Cox's Orange Is the New Black character, Sophia, is a transgender woman. When the series decided to delve into Sophia's past with flashbacks to a time when the character was still in the process of coming out as trans, they brought on Cox's identical twin brother, M. Lamar, as Marcus. Other men auditioned for the role, but once casting learned Cox had a twin, they invited Lamar to audition, and ultimately gave him the part.
