10 Celebrities Who Have A Twin Most Fans Never Knew About

Kiefer Sutherland, actor and son of late Hollywood legend Donald Sutherland, has a twin sister named Rachel.

Donald, an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor who famously portrayed President Coriolanus Snow in the Hunger Games trilogy, welcomed twins, Kiefer and Rachel, with his second wife, Shirley Douglas. He had three more sons — Roeg, Rossif, and Angus — with his third wife, Francine Racette.

Born on December 21, 1966, both Kiefer and Rachel have followed in their father’s footsteps and made careers in Hollywood.

Kiefer, who has starred in movies like A Few Good Men, The Three Musketeers, and Pompeii, is best known for playing Jack Bauer, the lead character in the FOX drama series 24. He won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for the role.

Many Hunger Games fans wanted him to play the 58-year-old President Snow in the upcoming prequel movie, Sunrise on the Reaping. Ralph Fiennes eventually bagged the role.

Kiefer was once engaged to Julia Roberts, but the wedding never went through.

Rachel is far removed from the spotlight, especially compared to Kiefer. She works behind the camera as a production manager.

“Wow, I’ve seen her name pop up in the credits of some shows and just figured it wasn’t an insanely uncommon last name and chalked it up to a coincidence,” a fan wrote after finding out Rachel was Donald’s only daughter and Kiefer’s twin sister.

“Being a twin taught me the value of having a companion,” Kiefer told The Guardian in July 2018. “Every time I experienced something, I could turn to my left and share it.”

“When I was having my first child, I said to my mother, ‘My gosh, you had two at the same time.’ She said, ‘Oh, sweetheart, it was fine. By the time you were 2 you were looking after each other.’ She made it sound like she’d got a deal, which always made me laugh.”

Kiefer has one daughter, named Sarah, whom he had with his first wife, Camelia Kath.
