Where were you when you realized Elizabeth Olsen was the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen?
As noted OTCU (Olsen Twins Cinematic Universe) historians, we've known that fact for quite some time. But for some fans of Disney+'s WandaVision, discovering that connection between the trio was absolutely mind-blowing.
And they are far from the first familial reveal to make people say, "Wait, whaaaaaa?" Take for instance when, at the premiere of Halloween Kills, Jamie Lee Curtis dressed as Psycho's Marion Crane, a role originally played by her late mom Janet Leigh. Or, when fans discovered Margaret Qualley's co-star in Maid just so happens to be mom Andie MacDowell.
Plus, did you know Kate Middleton is actually part of the same family tree as two of Hollywood's most famous sisters? Or that an iconic sitcom star is Jason Sudeikis' uncle?
Most recently, fans were shocked to learn at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards that Rob Schneider and Elle King are father and daughter. In 2020, he teased during their joint Netflix Is A Joke show that he's no longer known for being an actor, but rather "Elle King's dad."
"I love you," he said. "We've never sung together publicly and I thought tonight would be a nice night to try it." They went on to duet "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison.
So today, we're looking back at all of the celebrities you may have forgotten have shared 23andMe data.
Let's revisit some celebrity fam connections, shall we?
