There are several celebrity twins out there we are aware of and familiar with simply because they are in the spotlight, for instance, many of us are familiar with these wombmates: Benji and Joel Madden,and  and and ; but there are countless others who are not that popular, probably because they choose it that way or their womb-mates are not as popular as they are or simply work behind scenes.

Below is a list of some identical celebrity twins; so before you ‘stalk’ that celebrity, be sure it is not their twin you are actually following around.

Jon And Dan Heder

Remember Jon Heder, the actor that starred as Napoleon Dynamite in the comedy film with the same name? He is a twin brother Dan, who looks just exactly like him. Jon is the one we see in movies, as for Dan, he is also involved in the movie industry but not as an actor, but as a visual effect and animation guy.

Dan often stands in for Jon at autograph signings. So, you see what I told you about been certain, the celebrity you have been following is actually the right person?  it may just have been Dan who signed that autograph the last time you ran to Jon for an autograph.

Linda And Leslie Hamilton

Remember Sarah Connor from the 1984 science-fiction movie – The Terminator? Well, that was. She has been praised for her amazing performance in the movie, but she wouldn’t have done it all by herself without the help of her twin sister Leslie who starred alongside her in the movie.

Leslie played as her body-double in Terminator 2. Recall when T1000 (Prototype Series 1000 Terminator) transformed into Sarah Connor in an attempt to lure her son and then kill him but was stopped at the dying minute when the real Sarah (Linda) showed up to save the day? Well, that cloned Sarah wasn’t the work of some post-production techniques but was played by her twin sister, Leslie.
