6. Alanis and Wade Morissette
Alanis Morissette is a popular singer and her twin brother, Wade, who is 12 minutes older than her, is also a musician - but their singing style is different. Alanis spoke to La Yoga in 2008 about her brother, saying, “We have many things in common and many things that are different, but one of the things is this feistiness for personal truth rather than inauthenticity.” She continued, “For me it drives my life and I notice that fire in Wade and it comes out in his music. When I listen to it, I feel at home.” The pair celebrated their milestone 50th birthday in June. Photo by Pinterest. | Pinterest Photo: Pinterest

8. Joseph And Jacob Fiennes
Joseph and Jacob Fiennes, aged 54, are the younger brothers of actor Ralph Fiennes. They are a creative family as Joseph is also a very successful film actor. Jacob, however, is the only one who chose a career path away from entertainment, and instead he's a conservationist. Speaking about being a twin, Joseph has previously said: "I am a twin, but my brother and I aren't identical, so it's not such a big deal. But when you share bunk beds and birthdays and a womb with someone, you have a special connection." Photo by Pinterest. | Pinterest Photo: Pinterest
