Vin Diesel Has A Twin Who Looks Absolutely Nothing Like Him

Vin Diesel Has A Twin Who Looks Absolutely Nothing Like Him

How did I not know this?

Big news, guys: Vin Diesel has a twin brother who looks absolutely nothing like him - he's not even bald.

I know not all twins are identical, but these two don't even look like they're from the same family.

OK, so here's Vin:

And here's Paul:

Can you see the likeness? I really can't. Maybe the fact that Vin is bald is throwing me off.

However, thanks to cutting-edge technology, I've been able to create a life-like imagining of what Vin would look like with hair, specifically Paul's hair.

Isn't it marvellous what modern technology can achieve? Credit: PA/Facebook

Can you see the resemblance now? No? Fair enough.

Paul also works in the movie industry, behind the camera as an editor and producer, and usually likes to keep himself out of the limelight, but Vin was forced to share a snap of him after a number of media outlets shared photos of a completely different man calling him Paul.

Speaking during a Facebook live stream, Vin said: "Sometimes you have to help out the press because they can be so off.

"You all know what my twin brother looks like... so the whole press trying to have fun, 'We found Vin Diesel's secret twin brother' - they're so off, and it's so unfair to this guy. I've never met that guy in my life. Stop torturing him. He's not my twin brother."

The Fast and the Furious star, born Mark Sinclair Vincent, and his twin Paul also have another brother called Tim (no, not that Tim Vincent) and a sister called Samantha.

Vin isn't the only celebrity with a 'secret twin', did you know Scarlett Johansson also has a twin brother, called Hunter.

And they still look more alike than Vin and Paul:

Unlike Hunter and Scarlett and Vin and Paul; Jon 'Napoleon Dynamite' Heder is also a twin and you can absolutely see the family resemblance here.

I feel like Dan could have easily been in half the scenes for Napoleon Dynamite and none of us would be any the wiser.

I actually don't know which one is which. Credit: PA

I bet poor Dan Heder is getting pretty fucking sick of people shouting: 'Tina you fat lard' at him all the time.
