Albert and Allen Hughes, or more commonly known as the Hughes brothers, are film directors and producers. They are known for creating twisted, violent films, like ‘Dead Presidents’, ‘American Pimp’, and ‘The Book of Eli’. Allen Hughes also directed a film on his own, ‘New York, I Love You’.
The Hughes brothers were born in Detroit. They had a supportive mother who gifted them with a video camera when they were twelve. The boys would spend their spare time as kids making videos together. During their senior year of high school, the brothers decided to drop out in order to pursue directing careers. They started by directing music videos for Tupac Shakur and Tone Loc. They later moved on to directing feature films. Since 2004 Albert has been living in the Czech Republic. He stated back in 2013 that he and his brother are in “a weird dance right now.” We hope that for the love of family, they’ve reconciled their differences!
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss
The Winklevoss twins, or sometimes called Winklevi, are popular people in the tech world. Cameron and Tyler filed a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, for allegedly taking their idea. In the David Fincher film The Social Network, both twins were played by actor Armie Hammer.
Nowadays, the twins spend their energy on BitInstant, a bitcoin payment processor. Being multi-million dollar entrepreneurs would be more than enough, but apparently not for the brothers. They are also very successful rowers.
Jason London and Jeremy London
Identical twin brothers Jason and Jeremy London have both pursued careers as actors, although it doesn’t seem like their careers ever really took off. Jeremy had roles in 'Party of Five', '7th Heaven' and 'I’ll Fly Away'. Meanwhile, his brother is most recognized for his role in 'Dazed and Confused'.
Although they’ve both had roles in big cult classics and their devilish good looks, they haven’t been much on the Hollywood front as of late. Perhaps it has something to do with their bad-boy image. In 2011, Jeremy was on Celebrity Rehab. His ex-wife, Melissa, was also in treatment herself.
Kiefer Sutherland and Rachel Sutherland
Kiefer Sutherland and his twin sister were born into a family of successful actors. In fact, Kiefer’s debut film was in Max Dugan Returns, a film in which his father also starred. Kiefer has experienced a very successful acting career, starring in shows like '24' and films like 'A Few Good Men' and 'A Time to Kill'. Thanks to a successful career, Kiefer has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Over the years, Sutherland has experienced several marriage fails and drunk driving charges.
His sister, meanwhile, hasn’t tried her hand at acting. She has instead preferred to stay behind the camera, working as a post-production supervisor. When you’re born into a family of successful actors, it isn’t difficult to get into the show business and pursue a career, even if it isn’t a role in front of the camera.
James Phelps and Oliver Phelps
James and Oliver are identical twin brothers who are best known for playing twin brothers, Fred and George Weasley in 'Harry Potter'. Although the role wasn’t so big, the popularity of 'Harry Potter' garnered them a lot of love and attention. Considering the fact that the boys had no prior acting experience, it’s pretty impressive that they ended up getting cast in the role and appearing in the entire 'Harry Potter' film franchise.
Because the boys and many of the other actors were so young during the filming of HP, they were tutored on set during the filming so that they could keep up with school. Nowadays, James and Oliver split their time between Santa Monica, California, and their home in the UK. When they aren’t acting as wizards, they enjoy golfing and traveling around the world to attend different sporting events.
