There are few things more disorienting than being told a coworker you've sat next to for years has a secret twin they have been "hiding" from you. The same goes for celebrities.

Of course, there are the twins famous for being twins — the Sprouse brothers, Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, the list goes — but when we find out the supermodel we've loved for years has a twin sister who manages her business or that our favorite superhero has a twin who worked for Obama, the shock of your coworker's twin seems like nothing.

Luckily, we've rounded them up for you. Here are eight stars you never knew had a twin sibling.

The world knows Gisele Bündchen for many things — her unbeatable walk, countless jaw-dropping magazine covers, and, in general, being one of the most successful supermodels of the 2000s.

However, what many don't know is that behind the glitz and glamor, her twin sister Patricia helps run the show. Patricia, who Gisele lovingly calls Pati, serves as the model's business manager in Brazil, where she oversees all that goes into the inner workings of a supermodel.

Laverne Cox had her big break in Netflix's beloved Orange is the New Black series, and her twin brother did too. M Lamar, who shares his sister's love of entertainment — being a composer, musician, and goth-style icon — played his sister's character, Sophia Burset, in two flashback scenes of her pre-transition.

He also appeared on the ABC reality show Claim to Fame but was quickly eliminated in episode three when his celebrity relative was found out.

Scarlett Johansson regularly brings her twin brother Hunter to red carpets and high-profile events. But who is he? Well, he shares his sister's love of politics and charity, serving on President Obama's reelection campaign and as a community organizer for Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer. Now, he is the CEO and Founder of Solar Responders, a non-profit saving lives with renewable energy.

Ashton Kutcher may be the world's biggest supporter of his twin brother, Michael. Michael lives with Cerebral Palsy and was diagnosed before kindergarten.

Michael's life experience with the disease ultimately led him to be a public speaker for The Cerebral Palsy Foundation and Donate Life and to share his stories with the Center for Disease Control as well as the National Institute of Health — all accomplishments his brother supported along the way.

Vin Diesel's twin brother never switched to a stage name. Paul Sinclair Vincent is the fraternal twin to Mr. Diesel and also worked as a sound editor on the 1995 film Multi-Facial, which his brother starred in. Now, though, he seems to have stepped completely away from the entertainment industry, focusing on his children and being a family man.
