After scoring big with his cyber hacker role in Mr. Robot and portraying the ostentatious Freddy Mercury in this year’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Rami Malek has become a top celebrity in Hollywood. Oh, and did we mention that he also won an Oscar for the latter role. But not a lot of people are aware that there is a Sami Malek as well.
Sami is Rami’s twin brother who is not a celebrity like Sami is. While Sami chose a more glamorous career for himself, Sami opted for education.

While we wait to see Scarlett in the upcoming “Avengers: Endgame” and while we are still hoping to see her standalone Black Widow movie, here is an interesting fact about her; She has a twin brother!
Hunter Johansson is the taller, male sibling of Scarlett and on first glance, you wouldn’t even recognize them as twins. Hunter is an activist who organized charities and helps along in political campaigns. His biggest success is probably helping with the Barack Obama election back in the day.

Unfortunately, Michael’s story is not as happy as Ashton’s. While Ashton garnered a lot of success, Michael had to battle adversity and overcome a number of illnesses. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and had to undergo heart surgery when he was only 13. Fortunately for him, he is doing great now and serves as a motivational speaker to help people who are battling the same disease.

His brother Paul is not a recognizable figure as his brother is. In fact, he prefers to stay out of the limelight and does not like the attention as his brother does. He is a film producer and actually does not look anything like Vin. First of all, he still has his full set of hair and does not work out as much as Vin.
