Diedre Hall is best known for playing Dr. Marlena Evans on ‘Days of Our Lives’. She played the role from 1977 to 1982 and then from 2000-2001. Diedre has a twin sister named Andrea. The sisters were born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, along with their three siblings.
In 2014, she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to television. Andrea is also a soap actress and played the role of Samantha Evans’ envious twin Marlena on ‘Days’. She played the role from 1977-1982.
Alanis Morissette and Wade Imre Morissette
The Canadian-born singer Alanis Morissette has a twin brother named Wade, who is also into music. While his sister has released several albums, that have sold over 75 million copies, Wade has been teaching yoga and performing his own music. His music is a combination of indie rock and pop music with some Sanskrit and English chants.
Although his music style is quite different than Alanis’s, in recent years, Alanis has calmed down her music and is more in tune with her brother’s style. In March 2018, Morissette revealed that she had written 23 new songs. Who knows, maybe the stars will align and the sibling duo will create music together.
Olly Murs and Ben Murs
The 34-year-old British singer, Olly Murs, has a twin brother named Ben. He first rose to fame when he came in second place on the X factor in the sixth season. Olly shared on The Jonathan Ross Show that he and his brother weren’t in contact for a long time and that he didn’t make it to Ben’s wedding because of a conflict in the X Factor schedule.
Apparently, the entire family was once in a big feud and not on speaking terms. “He made the decision not to speak to the family,” said Olly when asked about his brother. Ben was so adamant about not having contact with his family that he changed his last name. In 2018, Olly shared that he was hopeful that he’d see his brother again.
Vin Diesel and Paul Diesel
Vin Diesel, born Mark Sinclair, has a twin brother named Paul. The two were born in California and were raised by their astrologer mother. They never met their biological father. They also lived with their stepfather, who was a theater manager and acting teacher. Diesel began acting as a child, most likely not expecting that he would go on to become one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood after starring in the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise.
Like many other celebrity actors with twins, Vin’s brother has chosen a different career path, but not so different from his brother’s. He also works in Hollywood as a film editor. The two seem to have a close and loving relationship when they are captured together in public. We are sure that Paul’s skills as a producer help Vin with his acting skills.
Cameron and Chimene Diaz
Although they aren’t actually twins, Cameron and Chimene Diaz look so similar that they may as well be twins! You probably know that Cameron Diaz was a very successful actress before retiring in 2018. Her older sister has followed a different path in life and chooses to stay out of the public eye. Despite their different callings in life, it’s evident that the two sisters are very close.
Chimene is married to musician Robby Armstrong and they have four children. Judging on Cameron’s characters in movies (and let’s be honest, we feel like we know her personally), she is probably the coolest aunt, especially considering that she doesn’t have children of her own.
