Giving birth to twins is a rare thing since twins are born roughly once in 46 births. But what’s even more surprising is that, despite the relatively low number of twins, many go on to become actors, musicians, and athletes with impressive followings.
So that begs the question, who are the most popular twins of all time? We will get into that in this article.
The Olsen Twins
The Olsen twins are, by far, the most popular twins of all time. Not only that, but they are also the richest. The Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, have made a name for themselves in several industries. Their earliest success was on the popular television show, Full House. They won numerous young artist awards for the show. Apart from that, they’ve also acted in It Takes Two, Two of a Kind, New York Minute, and The Row. While they started as child actresses when they were only six months old, they do something else entirely nowadays.
Mary-Kate is a well-respected fashion designer. Ashley is also a fashion designer, with the twins releasing clothing for girls, age 4 to 14, in Wallmark stores. Their work in fashion is mostly aimed at little girls. Mary-Kate and Ashley design footwear for girls with TOMS Shoes and have received praise for allowing women workers in Bangladesh full paternity leave.
The Clement Twins
Ava and Leah Clement are known as “the most beautiful twins.” And this isn’t some vague statement. They’ve featured in numerous magazines such as Vanity Fair and Harpers Bazaar Brazil. Nowadays, they’re mostly into fashion, having their own fashion line in stores such as Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, and Macy’s. The Clement twins started their careers at the age of 7. They’ve worked as child models for brands, such as Old Navy, Lands End, Nike, Target, Hurley Mattel, Disney, Jack Claires, Skechers, and American Girl.
The sisters have a huge social media following. While they come nowhere near the Olsen twins’ social media presence, it’s important to remember that they’re only 13 years old. In addition to that, the twins are also into makeup. They have their own line in collaboration with Wall Blush. In Spring 2022, they will release the highly-anticipated Converse X Clement Twins collection. It’s safe to say that the Clement Twins are super busy and have made a fortune for themselves.
But that’s not what they’re doing. If you’re interested in that, here is all you need to know about Ava and Leah.
The Sprouse Twins
Dylan and Cole Sprouse are some of the most popular twins in Hollywood. Most of you know them from the Disney show “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.” But their acting career goes far beyond. The twins first got a sense of Hollywood in Adam Sandler’s 1998 film, Big Daddy. They’ve also featured in numerous movies, shows, and other types of media. It’s safe to say that they’ve made a name for themselves throughout Hollywood.
But what are the Sprouse twin doing nowadays? Once they left Disney in 2008, after some pretty hostile talks, the twins went on to act in numerous other television shows and movies. But the Disney drama is said to have burned any bridges between the twin and the network. The twin have categorically denied that they hold any grudges against Disney. After all, they wanted to produce the final season of Zack and Cody, but the network didn’t trust them.
Nowadays, the twin are doing whatever they feel like. They have more than enough money to retire, but they take regular jobs to feel normal.
The Carver Twins
Yet another set of twins that started their careers as actors, Max and Charles Carver are best known for their roles of Porter and Preston Scavo in the hugely-popular Fox television show, Desperate Housewives. Another popular role is their involvement in Teen Wolf. But apart from that, the Carver Twin have acted in separate roles. Charles appeared in the movie Underdogs and I Am Michael. Max, on the other hand, made an appearance in the hugely popular comedy series The Office and Victorius.
That’s certainly not the end of their acting careers. They’re still actors and have acted in dozens of movies and shows. Much like other twins on this list, the Carvers are super popular on social media.
The Phelps Twins
James and Oliver Phelps are best known for their roles as George and Fred Weasley in, you guessed it, the Harry Potter movies. They’re British, identical, and said to be very pleasant to be around. The Phelps, much like other twin, tend to stick to one another. They’ve acted in numerous shows and movies, but have largely moved past the big screen and into charity work.
They’re popular on social media and even have their own podcast. On the podcast, they talk about the good work they do with Caudwell Children, a British nonprofit that donates to special children for medical treatments. While they are still popular and relevant, they have moved to greener pastures and away from the big screen.
