When it comes to handling two roles at once, The Social Network star Armie Hammer has it covered.

But we had to wonder, why is that? Were the filmmakers not able to find actual twins that could pull off the roles of Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss? Turns out Armie has quite the edge...

"They actually tried to cast twins, for like, a year." Armie explained to Ryan Seacrest before the 2011 Academy Awards tonight. "They couldn't find the right set of twins who were six-foot-five, who knew how to row, seemed like they were Ivy League-educated, who knew how to act and who had the time to make a David Fincher movie."

Wow, we can't imagine why they had issues finding that kind of combination. But it definitely worked out for Armie, who's star is quickly on the rise thanks to his skills in duality.

Hear more from Armie on things like how his new movie with Leonardo DiCaprio is going, what it's like to work with a director like Fincher and why he's just the chillest guy around and sooo easy to live with.
