On February 25, actors James and Oliver Phelps - twin brothers who became famous for the roles of George and Fred Weasley in films about the young wizard Harry Potter - celebrate their birthday.

Gemini is an infrequent phenomenon in life, and even in show business, you can count the same couples on your fingers. However, some of them manage to achieve quite significant success. Let's remember the most famous stellar twins.

Let's go back to today's birthday, the Phelps brothers (they, by the way, turn 28). They were born in Birmingham 13 minutes apart. The boys' love for acting was manifested in childhood, and they began to attend the theater studio. They also read J. K. Rowling's books since childhood, therefore, having learned about auditioning for roles in the film adaptation, they could not miss the chance. For the role, the brothers had to dye their hair red and highlight their eyebrows. However, it was all worth it - it is simply impossible not to remember the charming and completely identical boys in the film.

After the Harry Potter saga, Oliver and James continued to act in films, but separately from each other. However, now the film Hamlet is being prepared for the production, where the brothers will play Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

The same age as the Phelps brothers American Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen became not only one of the most famous twins in the world, but already at the age of 10 they were millionaires.

The first most popular film with their participation was the comedy "Two: Me and My Shadow" - the sisters played in it at the age of 9.

For the first time, the girls got into the cinema when they were not even a year old, and, growing up, continued to act in various films and TV series. The first most popular film with their participation was the comedy "Two: Me and My Shadow" - the sisters played in it at the age of 9. The success was consolidated by the series "Two of a Kind", and then Mary-Kate and Ashley appeared in films similar in plot and genre, telling about the adventures of resourceful sisters around the world. Perhaps the paintings did not claim the highest film awards, but they made them the idols of millions. Their names became a real brand in themselves - they were everywhere - from clothing to books and magazines.

The girls grew up and their acting career began to decline. However, this did not upset them, since the sisters had a new passion - fashion. They founded their brand, The Row, which has been favorably received by fashion critics. This was followed by another brand - more democratic - Elizabeth & James, named after their sister and brother (by the way, today Elizabeth Olsen is considered one of the most promising young actresses).

Peter and David Paul

Nineties stars, twin brothers Peter and David Paul hail from a small town in Connecticut. From childhood, they were passionate about American football and wrestling - all this required strength and muscle, and the brothers took up bodybuilding, eventually completely switching to it. In the late seventies, they even opened their own gym.

Well, in the eighties, the spectacular brothers were noticed by film producers and starred in several films - mainly comedies and action films. The most popular was the film "Nanny".

The Paul brothers are still filming, but not often. David devoted himself to photography, writes music and poetry and plays the guitar, and Peter became a TV presenter.

Brothers Grim (Konstantin and Boris Burdaev)

The real surname of these red-haired brothers may not tell anyone anything, but one has only to say "Makeup", everything immediately becomes clear. The group, whose name is so similar to the names of famous storytellers, was formed by the Burdaev twin brothers back in 1998 in their native Samara. However, in 2005 the capital heard about them - their debut song "Clap your eyelashes and take off" instantly made them superstars.

However, having recorded 3 successful albums, the brothers suspended the group's activities due to creative differences. Boris left the duet, leaving Konstantin to sing alone. The reunion of the "storytellers" never happened. Today both brothers are engaged in solo projects.

Vladimir and Yuri Torsuevs

Speaking about the famous twins, one cannot but recall the Torsuev brothers. Even if they played only in a few films, their very first role made them practically cult characters in Russian cinema.

Today the brothers are engaged in business, and they also have their own group "Syroezhkina's Garage".

In 1979, director Konstantin Bromberg announced a casting - twins were wanted for a role in the film "The Adventures of Electronics" about the friendship of a robot with a human appearance and a boy from whom his appearance was written off. The requirements for future actors were high - they had to ride a moped, play the guitar, and sing. All this happened with Vladimir and Yuri Torsuev, who were 12 years old.

Today the brothers are engaged in business, and they also have their own group "Syroezhkina's Garage". And at the same time they dream of filming the continuation of the story about Electronics.
