Yes, you have been unintentionally ignoring their twins the entire time. Neither Scarlett nor Malek's twins pursued careers in the movie industry, with Scarlett's twin, Hunter Johansson, opting for a career in politics—he was a campaign advisor for Barack Obama back in 2008.

Rami Malek's twin brother is a school teacher. However, some twins have followed in the footsteps of their famous brother or sister.

It's also surprising that celebrities have fraternal twins, such as Vin Diesel. When I first heard Vin Diesel had a twin brother, I imagined another muscular, bald, and furious guy driving a Dodge Challenger at the speed limit.
