Do you know everything about the celebrity world? You will certainly be surprised by this article. It’s no secret that Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are twin sisters. But did you know that actors Scarlett Johansson, Pabllo Vittar, and presenter Renata Vasconcellos are also twins?

Besides them, other celebrities also have a monozygotic (identical) or dizygotic (fraternal) twin sibling who is far from the limelight. Some are so physically similar that they seem to be the same person, as is the case with actress Linda Hamilton’s identical twin sister. Check out this list of twin and almost twin siblings.

Renata Vasconcellos

Renata Vasconcellos, the 49-year-old journalist from Jornal Nacional, has a twin sister! It’s very difficult to tell who is Renata and who is Lanza. The journalist jokes: ‘The confusion of being alike always happens. We are monozygotic twins.’ Through social media, Renata has also confused her followers by posting a photo of Lanza’s puppy face-to-face with the ‘twin auntie’.
