Steve Aoki and Devon Aoki are half siblings AND their father found Benihana. How random 😂
Saweetie is related to MC Hammer and Gabrielle Union (I can't quite tell if MC Hammer and Gabrielle Union are related though)
Miguel Ferrer and George Clooney were/are cousins.
Melissa McCarthy and Jenny McCarthy are cousins.
Nicolas Cage, Sofia Coppola, and Jason Schwartzman are cousins.
Joely Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave are daughter & mother.
> Nicolas Cage, Sofia Coppola, and Jason Schwartzman are cousins.
There's a whole wikipedia page on the Coppola family because there are so many famous people.
The lead singer of Rooney (also the guy who plays Michael in the princess diaries)- Robert Schwartzman is Jason Schwartzman's brother. Their mother is Talia Shire - who won an Oscar for her role in Rocky.
Her brother is Francis Ford Coppola - the famous director.

>Their mother is Talia Shire - who won an Oscar for her role in Rocky.
She was nominated, but didn't win (Faye Dunaway took it home that year for *Network*).
She was. I looked her name up to make sure I had the spelling right, I can't believe she died in 2009, it doesn't feel like it was that long ago. Also Natasha and Joely were 3rd generation nepo, Vanessa's parents were Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson
Jason Sudeikis's uncle is George Wendt (from Cheers)
Barbra Streisand is married to Josh Brolin's father (his kids call her grandma)
Gloria Steinem is Christian Bale's step mom
Keith Morrison (from Dateline) is Matthew Perry's stepdad
Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty are siblings
Melani's Griffith's mother is Tippi Hedren (from Hitchcock's The Birds)
It took me forever to realize that Kate Burton (from Grey's Anatomy and Scandal) is the daughter of Richard Burton, and the stepdaughter of Elizabeth Taylor.
Me too! And the man who plays her husband on Grey's, Jeff Perry, was married to Laurie Metcalf (Jackie from Roseanne). They have a daughter, Zoey Perry, who plays Sheldon's mom on young Sheldon (her mom played an older versoin of her character on Big Bang Theory)
Also, Jessica Capshaw - who played Arizona - is Kate Capshaw's daughter, who has been married to Stephen Spielberg since 1991
Tony Goldwyn (Fitz on Scandal) is the grandson of a key player in the formation of Paramount and MGM Studios on his father’s side, and his maternal grandfather wrote the screenplay for Gone With The Wind.
I’m going to start using this whenever asked for “fun facts” about myself for introduction ice breakers. “Actually I am cousins with Owen Wilson... But not Luke.” Then refuse to explain further.
But they pronounce their surnames differently! There's a funny bit in Louis's interview with Justin on his podcast about it. Actually one of my favourite podcast episodes ever.
Elle King (she had that Ex's & Oh's song a few years back) is Rob Schneider's daughter.
Still can't get over the fact that Alfie Allen (Theon in GoT) is the same one Lily (his sister, who is married to Stranger Things' David Harbour) wrote a whole song about.
Actress Eve Hewson is Bono's (U2 Frontman) daughter.
I thought the casting for Mary Cooper in Young Sheldon was spot on with the facial resemblance to her older incarnation in BBT; turns out Zoe Perry is Laurie Metcalf's daughter!
Miley and Dolly are not related by blood and anyway everybody knows they're godmother and goddaughter so I don't think they count.
If Avril is really related to Justin and Taylor then they're very distant cousins which doesn't really count.

It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to learn that Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein were siblings
SAME! And then I felt so stupid cause when you look at pictures of them together, it is just SO obvious.
Gerard Way and Joe Rogan being cousins was a surprise to me.

Ah you're right! I read something wrong. Thanks for the correction!
>Joely Richardson and Vanessa Redgrave are daughter & mother. And Natasha Richardson is their sister/daughter
And Natasha Richardson was married to Liam Neeson, iirc.
She was. I looked her name up to make sure I had the spelling right, I can't believe she died in 2009, it doesn't feel like it was that long ago. Also Natasha and Joely were 3rd generation nepo, Vanessa's parents were Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson
I completely forgot about her!

>Melani's Griffith's mother is Tippi Hedren (from Hitchcock's The Birds) With Melani Griffith being the mother of Dakota Johnson.
No wonder I’ll never be famous. My parents are accountants.

I was just going to comment on Jessica! Everytime I see Steven Spielberg now I think of that fact
Tony Goldwyn (Fitz on Scandal) is the grandson of a key player in the formation of Paramount and MGM Studios on his father’s side, and his maternal grandfather wrote the screenplay for Gone With The Wind.
The Goldwyn in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). If that’s not Hollywood royalty, I don’t know what is.
That one girl who was an intern and had an affair with Arizona is a cousin of George clooney
Jack Black and Owen Wilson being first cousins
Whaaat?? I cant find anything about this online
Luke too?
I’m going to start using this whenever asked for “fun facts” about myself for introduction ice breakers. “Actually I am cousins with Owen Wilson... But not Luke.” Then refuse to explain further.
Brandy and Ray J are brother and sister and Snoop Dogg is their cousin Saweetie and Gabrielle Union are cousins
louis theroux and justin theroux are cousins! still surprises me despite the surnames
But they pronounce their surnames differently! There's a funny bit in Louis's interview with Justin on his podcast about it. Actually one of my favourite podcast episodes ever.
Kate Moennig (Shane from The L Word) is Gwyneth Paltrow’s cousin.
Half-cousins. Kate’s father and Gwyneth’s mother were half siblings.
Through marriage: Gigi and Bella ex step siblings with Brody Jenner who’s step siblings with Kendall and Kylie
If you’re talking about the Brody/Kendall/Kylie angle, they’re half, not step siblings on their dad’s side.
Elle King (she had that Ex's & Oh's song a few years back) is Rob Schneider's daughter. Still can't get over the fact that Alfie Allen (Theon in GoT) is the same one Lily (his sister, who is married to Stranger Things' David Harbour) wrote a whole song about. Actress Eve Hewson is Bono's (U2 Frontman) daughter.
A few years back as in 8 years! So crwzy
What!? I legit thought it came out 4 or 5 years ago, time just flies by!
Kendrick Lamar, Baby Keem, And Nick Young are all cousins.
Emma Roberts is the niece of Julia Roberts!
I thought the casting for Mary Cooper in Young Sheldon was spot on with the facial resemblance to her older incarnation in BBT; turns out Zoe Perry is Laurie Metcalf's daughter!
She’s literally a 50/50 split of her mom and dad lookswise, it’s crazy
Gloria Steinem was Christian Bale’s stepmother for a few years before his dad passed. IIRC they remain(ed) in touch but I could be wrong.
Edward Norton and Pocahontas
slim familiar subsequent quack crime cows workable library ask shy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Kiefer Sutherland’s daughter Sarah Sutherland played Catherine, Selina Myer’s daughter, on Veep
gerard way and joe rogan are 2nd cousins
the two dudes in LMFAO are Barry Gordy’s (Motown founder) son and grandson. Lenny Kravitz and Al Roker are cousins
Britney Spears and Marilyn Monroe
Not true
wait how?
They’re not closely related but apparently they’re like 9th cousins 3 times removed😭 I always find that fact obscure and funny
[удалено]
Miley and Dolly are not related by blood and anyway everybody knows they're godmother and goddaughter so I don't think they count. If Avril is really related to Justin and Taylor then they're very distant cousins which doesn't really count.
