“Like two drops”: TOP 10 famous Russian twins


Tatiana and Olga Arntgolts

The Arntgolts sisters (1982) were born into an acting family, this predetermined their fate. They were also named for a reason: the parents were inspired by the images of Olga and Tatyana Larin from Pushkin’s “Eugene Onegin”. The Arntgolts twins graduated from the Shchepkinsky School.

Tatiana and Olga Arntgolts

Together they starred in the series “Simple Truths” and participated in the show “Ice Age”. They have more than 50 films to their credit. The personal life of the Arntgolts sisters cannot be called happy. Both are divorced. Olga has a daughter Anna (2013) and a son Akim (2016). Tatiana is raising her daughter Masha (2009).

Polina and Ksenia Kutepova

The Kutepov Sisters (1971) began filming as a child. They graduated from GITIS and play in Pyotr Fomenko's studio. Between them they have many film and theater roles, and professional achievements.

Kutepov sisters – Polina and Ksenia

Polina Kutepova is married to director Yevgeny Kamenkovich. They have a daughter, Nadezhda (1997). Ksenia Kutepova married director Sergei Osipyan. They have two children - Vasily (2002) and Lida (2005).

The life of the Kutepov sisters

There are other famous twin actors in our country. Russia, for example, is the homeland 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 betrayed their native theater, which is directed by Fomenko. However, viewers who want to watch a star couple playing in the same production will be disappointed. The only performance in which the Kutepov sisters appeared together was “Three Sisters.” The reason is simple: Polina and Ksenia prefer that the public notice their talent rather than their external resemblance.

Unlike many other stars, the sisters never agree to appear in commercials, and you cannot see them in TV series. The Kutepovs have strict requirements for their films, 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 joys to social entertainment. It is interesting that the sisters chose directors as their husbands.

Ekaterina and Daria Nosik

The Nosik sisters (1985) are the daughters of People’s Artist Vladimir Nosik. They have been inseparable since childhood, but they chose different educational institutions: Ekaterina - GITIS, Daria - “Sliver”. At the age of 12 they starred in the film “Return of the Battleship.”

Ekaterina and Daria Nosik

Known for the series “Ranetki” and “Mothers and Daughters”. We made short films “We shared an orange” and “Holivar”. Daria Nosik is not married. Ekaterina got married in 2014, but does not advertise the details of her personal life. The sisters have no children.

Brothers Ponomarenko - Alexander and Valery

The Ponomarenko brothers (1967) are famous Russian parodists. We played in a school ensemble and studied in Rostov to become film technicians. Since childhood, we loved to act out funny scenes. In 1999 they became prize-winners of the international competition “Cup of Humor”.

Ponomarenko brothers

They performed at Full House, Crooked Mirror, and the humor festival in Jurmala. They parody famous personalities - show business stars, politicians. Both brothers are married. Valery has three boys, Alexander has a son, German, and a daughter, Lyuba. They don’t like to share details of their personal life.

“Twin Brothers”: actors who look alike


“Twin Brothers”: actors who look alikeTwin brothers, photo: social networks Scientists from the University of Adelaide have found that the probability that two people have the same face is over 1:1 trillion. Despite this, we still often find similarities between complete strangers. For example, looking at some Russian and Hollywood actors, we can safely say that these are twin brothers who were simply separated in childhood.

Garik Kharlamov and Matt Damon

Starting from KVN, Kharlamov was called a man with the face of Matt Damon. These two celebrities are very similar to each other not only in appearance, but they also have a similar subtle sense of humor in everyday life. Their age difference is 11 years, although Garik looks older.

One of the most promising and promising actors in Russian cinema, the favorite of Fyodor Bondarchuk, who directed him in the film “Stalingrad,” and the simply charming Pyotr Fedorov, are even seriously called “Russian Colin Farrell.” The same expressive eyebrows, fashionable stubble, strong-willed chin, only one difference - Peter is 5 years younger.

Arthur Galchenko and Orlando Bloom

Actor Arthur Galchenko, an actor from the TV series “CHOP”, known on the Internet as blogger Sam Nickel, is like two peas in a pod like Orlando Bloom. The same overhanging eyebrows, sharp nose and expressive eyes.

Alexander Malinin and Peter Facinelli

Fans of the film “Twilight” were the first to notice Peter’s resemblance to Malinin, and only later did everyone else. The incredible similarity of sharp facial features, white hair and deep-set eyes makes everyone claim that they are definitely brothers separated!

Artem Tkachenko and Adrien Brody

Actor Artem Tkachenko is surprisingly similar to actor Adrien Brody, who played the leading role in the film “The Pianist.” Both actors have Jewish roots, so their appearance is incredibly similar. There is only one significant difference - age, 9 years difference.

Ian Tsapkin and Jeremy Runner

These two famous actors not only look fantastically similar to each other, but they also play similar brutal and strong men in their films. Both actors have very similar sharp facial features with a heavy gaze.

Igor and Vadim Verniky

The Vernik brothers (1963) are the sons of People's Artist of Russia Emil Vernik. We chose different professions. Igor is a famous actor and TV presenter. His track record includes more than a hundred films. Hosted the programs “Easy as Easy”, “Good Morning”, “One to One”.

Igor and Vadim Verniky

Vadim is less well known, he is engaged in journalism, is the editor-in-chief of the popular youth magazine “OK!”, and hosted the programs “Who’s There...” and “Saturday Evening with a Star.” Igor Vernik was married twice. He has a son, Gregory (1999), who also became an actor. Vadim is a bachelor.

Unknown twin stars

Brothers and sisters born as twins do not always choose the same profession. There are examples of this in show business. Few people know that Ashton Kutcher, known for such films as “The Butterfly Effect,” “We Got Married,” and “Where’s My Car, Dude,” has a brother who was born a few minutes later than him. Unfortunately, the famous twin actors did not turn out to be twins. Mikhail Kutcher suffers from cerebral palsy and was forced to undergo a heart transplant at an early age. However, the relatives have a wonderful relationship and spend a lot of time together.

Such a wonderful actor as Vin Diesel, who many fans associate with the Fast and the Furious film, also has a twin brother. Paul did not become a cinema star, but he has a certain connection to the world of cinema, as he works as an editor. Now it is impossible to confuse Vin and Paul with each other, at least different hairstyles prevent this.

"Brothers Grim" - Boris and Konstantin Burdaev

Boris and Konstantin Burdaev were born in 1981 in Samara, into a family of pharmacists. In 1998, they created the group “Brothers Grim”, which enjoyed great popularity in the early 2000s. Famous hits are “Clap Your Eyelashes” and “Kusturica”.

Brothers (“Grim”) Burdaevs

In 2009, the team disbanded, and in 2010 it was reborn with a new lineup. Konstantin Burdaev was married three times. He has no children. Boris is divorced and has no heirs. Now the brothers are engaged in new musical projects, but no longer together.

Tolmachev sisters – Maria and Anastasia

The Tolmachev sisters (1997) were born in Kursk. Since childhood, they have been studying music, performing in pop studios, participating and winning vocal competitions. In 2006, they became winners of Junior Eurovision with the composition “Spring Jazz”. But the adult format has become less successful for girls. In 2014, the sisters represented Russia at Eurovision and took 7th place.

Tolmachev sisters

Maria and Anastasia Tolmachev graduated from the Institute of Culture in Belgorod and received the prestigious specialty “Producing and Directing”. The sisters founded a children's pop workshop in Kursk, where they professionally teach vocals and acting. Nothing is known about the personal lives of Maria and Anastasia.

Torsuev brothers - Vladimir and Yuri

The Torsuev Brothers (1966) were remembered by viewers from the children's film “The Adventures of Electronics.” Vladimir played the robot boy Electronics, Yuri played the schoolboy Sergei Syroezhkin. They got into cinema by accident: they had all the necessary qualities - they knew how to sing, dance and play the guitar.

Yuri and Vladimir Torsuev

The brothers did not receive higher education, although there were several attempts. They starred in several more films. They are engaged in entrepreneurship. Vladimir was married three times and has a daughter, Elizaveta (2007). Yuri married twice, his second wife gave him a son, Nikita (2003).

Twin actors: Torsuev brothers

Remembering the famous twins who connected their lives in cinema, it is worth starting with people who became famous back in the days of the USSR. The twin actors who are known to all viewers who watched “The Adventures of Electronics” 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 to play the roles of the robot Elektronik and the hooligan Syroezhkin.

Unfortunately, the Torsuev brothers, who woke up famous after the release of the above-mentioned film project, decided not to continue their acting career. Vladimir and Yuri, not wanting to part and go down different paths in life, went into business together. The twins also have a creative project, which they treat more like a hobby. We are talking about the group “Syroezhkin’s Garage”, participation in which allows the brothers to relax. When middle-aged men are asked about their dreams, they answer that they would like to participate in the filming of the sequel to “The Adventures of Electronics.”

Tatiana and Olga Yukin

The Yukina sisters are famous Soviet twins, born in 1953 into a simple working-class family. They got into the cinema thanks to the famous director Alexander Rowe. We starred in the fairy tale “The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors,” with Olya playing Olya and Tanya playing Yalo, so as not to get confused about the names.

Twins Tanya and Olya Yukina

After this, there were also episodic roles in the fairy tale “Morozko”, and then at the request of the girls themselves. This ended the sisters' film careers. The sisters did not receive higher education. We worked at Intourist and began to abuse alcohol. Both were married. Olga had a son, Maxim, and Tatyana had a daughter, Yulia. Olga and Tatyana Gennadievna died at 51 and 57 years of age, respectively.

Stars of "The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors"

The twin actors who gained popularity during the existence of the Soviet Union are not only the Torsuev brothers. Viewers who are well acquainted with the works of cinema of those times can hardly help but remember the charming girls from the film “The 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 twins Tatiana and Olga thanks to the film “The Kingdom of Crooked Mirrors” did not last long. Blonde girls never starred in any other films, except for a minor episode in Morozko. They failed to achieve success in other professional fields. At the moment, “Oli and Yalo” is no longer in the world. The last to pass away was Tatyana, who died in 2011.
