Inside The Lives Of Celebrity Twins
Most fans have no clue their favorite star has a twin. Some siblings became famous together, others stayed completely out of the spotlight. Either way, growing up as a twin shaped these celebrities in unexpected ways.

Back in 1984, Scarlett arrived with her twin brother Hunter, who most people don't know about. They even acted together as kids in Manny & Lo before she became a Hollywood superstar. In interviews, Scarlett has opened up about their bond and how close they've stayed despite her massive fame.
