The 10 Most Famous Celebrity Sibling Duos
Fame is something that just isn’t in the cards for everyone. Out of all the people in the world, only very few actually achieve their dreams of becoming stars. With that being said, it’s rather unlikely for one family to produce multiple stars, especially when those stars are siblings. Over the years, celebrity sibling pairs have proven that sometimes talent is just in the genes. In a business where it can be hard to know who truly has your best interest at heart, these stars have been fortunate enough to have someone along for the ride who has been by their side since the beginning. Although there is sometimes some friendly competition, these celebrities don’t mind sharing the spotlight with their famous siblings. Here are the 10 most famous celebrity duos.
Mark and Donnie Wahlberg
The Wahlberg brothers have been in the entertainment industry for more than 25 years. Although Mark is the more famous brother these days, that wasn’t always the case. Donnie rose to fame during the 80s as a member of the boy name, News Kids on the Block, and although Mark was also one of the original members he quit after just a few months with the group. Mark eventually went on to have a music career of his own. However, both brothers have found the most success in the acting world where they’ve both appeared in dozens of on-screen productions.

Luke and Owen Wilson
Although there are actually three Wilson brothers, Luke and Owen are definitely the most well-known. Luke and Owen both began their careers in the 90s, and found success in Hollywood. Over the years they have appeared in several films together, and fans love watching the siblings to their thing side by side. Well known for their senses of humor, the Wilson brothers have a knack for making audiences laugh. According to Luke, “[We] just have the same kind of sense of humor. It’s great to be so close to people you’re working with.”

Kate and Oliver Hudson
Not only are Kate and Oliver Hudson an awesome celebrity sibling duo, but their mother, Goldie Hawn, has also had a successful career in Hollywood as well. Although Kate was by far the most famous sibling for years, Oliver has worked his way through the ranks, and thanks to a starring role on the popular ABC series, Nashville, his star is shining brighter than ever. Unfortunately; however, both siblings have been receiving a lot of media attention lately for a spat with their biological father, Bill Hudson, who has now said that he has disowned them both.

Dakota and Elle Fanning
During the early 2000s, Dakota Fanning was one of the cutest child stars on the scene. She appeared in several successful films including I am Sam and Man on Fire. However, it quickly became clear that Dakota wasn’t the only talented kid in the Fanning family. Her younger sister, Elle, also broke onto the scene during the early 2000s, and over the last few years, Elle has worked hard to create a name for herself. Elle who is now 17, and Dakota who is now 21, have been finding steady work in Hollywood and are definitely one of the most famous celebrity sibling pairs.
