It’s not a secret to anyone the special connection that exists between twin children. Often it persists throughout life, especially if such people receive not only one appearance for two, but also the same talents. Twin actors - a phenomenon quite common in modern cinema. This can be easily verified by recalling the most famous “couples” living in the Russian Federation and abroad.
Twin actors: Torsuyev brothers
Remembering the famous twins who linked their lives in the cinema, it is worth starting with people who became famous back in the days of the USSR. The twin actors, whom all viewers who watched "The Adventures of Electronics" know, are the Torsuev brothers. Vladimir and Yuri, indistinguishable from each other, like drops of water, became a real gift for the director, who was looking for performers in the roles of the robot Electronics and the bully Syroezhkin.
Unfortunately, the Torsuyev brothers, who woke up famous after the release of the aforementioned film project, decided not to continue their acting career. Vladimir and Yuri, not wanting to part and follow different paths in life, took up joint business. The twins have a creative project, to which they relate, rather, as a hobby. We are talking about the group "Garage Syroezhkina", participation in which allows the brothers to relax. When older men are asked about the dream, they answer that they would like to participate in the filming of the sequel to "Adventures of Electronics".
Stars of the Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors
The twin actors who gained popularity even during the existence of the Soviet Union are not only the Torsuyev brothers. Spectators who are well acquainted with the works of cinema of those times can hardly remember the charming girls from the film “Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors”. The roles of the little pioneer Olya and her reflection Yalo went to the Yukin sisters, who were about 10 years old at the time of filming.
Unfortunately, the fame that came to the twins Tatyana and Olga thanks to the painting “Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors” did not last long. Blond-haired girls no longer starred in any film, except for a minor episode in "Frost". They failed to achieve success in other professional fields. At the moment, "Oli and Yalo" is no longer in the world. The last to die was Tatyana, who died in 2011.
Tatyana and Olga Arntgolts
Of course, not all twin actors are awarded only short-term fame. Arntgolz twins for many years remain bright stars of domestic cinema. The fate of Olga and Tatyana was obvious almost from the moment of the birth of “identical” girls, since they were born in an acting family. The ability to act in children was noted by others since they learned to walk and talk. It is not surprising that after school the sisters entered the “Sliver”.
The girls did not start acting in childhood, like many other twin actors. Russia learned about their existence when the sisters were students of Sliver. Interestingly, Tatyana Arntgolts prefers to agree to roles in the series, choosing stability. While her twin, Olga, achieved great success in the field of full-length cinema. However, the girls are happy to act together, creating not only the images of twin characters, but also just the young ladies who are similar in appearance. For example, we can recall the film “Gloss” released in 2007, in which they played friends Nastya and Oksana.
The characters of the Arntgolz twins are not at all as similar as their appearance. Tatyana, who considers herself an older sister, since she was born 20 minutes earlier, is inherent in such qualities as sociability, cheerfulness. Familiar Olga describes as a closed person who does not like to show emotions and attract attention.
The life of the Kutepov sisters
There are other well-known twin actors in our country. Russia, for example, is the birthplace of the famous Kutepov sisters. Ksenia and Polina are personalities, without whom it is difficult to imagine modern theatrical Moscow. For many years, the twins have not changed their native theater, which is directed by Fomenko. However, viewers who want to see a star couple playing in the same production will be disappointed. The only performance in which the Kutepov sisters appeared together is “Three Sisters”. The reason is simple: Polina and Ksenia prefer that the public notice their talent, rather than the outward resemblance.
Unlike many other stars, sisters never agree to shoot in commercials, you can not see them in the series. Kutepov’s films have strict requirements, so they rarely spoil fans with their appearance on the big screen. Everyone who knows Polina and Ksenia well notes the similarity of the twins' characters. Both women prefer family pleasures to social events. Interestingly, the sisters chose directors as husbands.
Harry Potter friends
There is hardly a fan of Harry Potter stories who doesn't know who the Phelps twins are. Interestingly, it was thanks to the famous movie saga that the twin brothers became famous. Actors Oliver and James were ideally suited to the creators of the picture of the misfortunes of the young wizard, when they needed two red-haired boys, outwardly indistinguishable from each other. The twins got the opportunity to play Fred and George thanks to their parents, who accidentally learned about the casting. Curiously, the red-haired boys were preferred by thousands of other candidates.
The fate of those who start acting at a young age often develops sadly, but the twins from Harry Potter escaped this fate. Actors James and Oliver took part in the filming of all parts of the saga, without exception. Including in the final part, in which the audience expects the death of one of the characters. At the moment, they are still young, but already rich and famous.
Others are unlikely to be able to distinguish between James and Oliver, unless they know about the mole, which is located on the neck of the latter. Perhaps this is the only "evidence" that allows not to confuse the young men. Fans may also be interested in who of the two famous brothers is the eldest. This is James, born a few minutes earlier.
In the movie from bodybuilding
It's no secret that many famous athletes, leaving the main occupation, are re-qualified as stars of the big screen. American twin actors Peter and David did just that in their time. Twins Paul came to the world of cinema from bodybuilding, it happened in the early 80's.
Remembering the most popular tapes with the participation of brothers-athletes, we can not forget about the film, which has become for them a kind of calling card. This is a funny comedy "Nanny", which made a splash in which the twins act as guards. The object that they were ordered to watch is rather unusual - moving little twins.
Like many other actors, the Paul brothers had to make sure in their own experience of the transience of fame. Nevertheless, it cannot be said that their life “after the movie” was unsuccessful. Peter and David work in the field of show industry, compose music, agree to the positions of TV presenters.
Success of the Olsen sisters
Is it possible to establish which famous twin actors have achieved the greatest fame in the world? Perhaps there are no competitors for the charming sisters Olsen. Ashley and Mary-Kate made their parents happy with their appearance on the day, which many superstitious people associate with failure - Friday the 13th. This did not stop the babies from appearing on the screens at the age of 9 months and immediately gaining fans.
Mary-Kate and Ashley are known mainly for comedic roles. You can list the most famous film projects and TV shows with their participation for a long time: “Two: Me and my shadow”, “Little villains”, “Once in Rome”, “Datura”. Unfortunately, at the moment, the star twins are resting from filming a movie. Mary-Kate and Ashley decided to completely surrender to their other passion - fashion. They developed their own brand, under which not only clothes, but also accessories, cosmetics and other products are produced. At the moment, the Olsen sisters are not only famous actresses, but also the owners of a huge business empire.
Daria and Catherine Nosik
Of course, not all popular twin actors are listed above. Russian stars are the sisters Ekaterina and Daria Nosik, who were born in 1984. We can say that the girls belong to the acting dynasty, since their father Vladimir also chose this difficult profession for himself. Their brother Timothy was also associated with the world of cinema, but the producer died tragically during an accident.
Many famous twin actors received higher education at the same theater university, but Dasha and Katya are not one of them. Daria chose to study at Sliver, while Catherine chose GITIS for herself.
The first to star in the movie was Daria Nosik, her debut took place at the age of 12 thanks to the film “The Return of the Armadillo”. The fame was brought to the girl by the film "Marking", released in 2007, in which she got the main role. Catherine, who can be seen in such films as "Red", "Heartbreakers, " does not lag behind her sister. Fans who want to admire the girls playing in the same project can be advised on the series “Mother and Daughters”. In this telenovela, they played twins.
Unknown stars twins
Not always brothers and sisters born twins choose the same profession. There are examples of this in show business. Few people know that Ashton Kutcher, known for films like The Butterfly Effect, Newlyweds, Where's My Wheelbarrow, Dude, has a brother who was born a few minutes later than him. Unfortunately, the famous twin twins did not work out. Michael Kutcher suffers from cerebral palsy; at an early age he was forced to undergo a heart transplant. However, relatives have a wonderful relationship, they spend a lot of time together.
There is also a twin brother for such a wonderful actor as Vin Diesel, which many fans associate with the Fast and the Furious tape. Paul did not become a movie star, but has a certain relation to the world of cinema, since he works as an editor. Now it is impossible to confuse Wines and Paul with each other, at least different hairstyles interfere with this.
The Twins from The Terminator
The fantastic action movie "Terminator", the first part of which was released back in 1984, remains a visiting card not only for Arnold Schwarzenegger. The film was also given worldwide popularity by Linda Hamilton, who got the role of the female warrior Sarah Connor. However, few people know that the famous actress has a twin sister. Leslie Hamilton appeared before the audience in "Terminator 2", embodying the image of her sister's twin character.
