These celebs are related and you had no idea!
some of them are bizarre!
Happy Monday! Welcome to a fresh start filled with stories, trends, and breaking news that’ll make your coffee taste even better.
But before we start, here’s a lil fun task for you:
📌 Write down one new goal for the week. Maybe it’s binge-watching a new series or trying a viral recipe!
Now, let’s get started…
Here’s the tea 🍵
📌 Did you know Jon Hamm was Ellie Kemper's high school drama teacher? Yep, the Mad Men star-shaped young minds before hitting the big time. Years later, when Ellie was doing a one-woman show in LA, she emailed him (thanks, high school directory!) and invited him to come. And guess what? He actually showed up. Imagine your old teacher supporting you like that!
📌 Speaking of cool connections, did you know Steph and Ayesha Curry are godparents to Lindsay Lohan’s son, Luai? Apparently, Lindsay’s husband is buddies with celebrity chef Michael Mina, who thought Ayesha and Lindsay would hit it off, and he was spot on.
📌 Here’s another fun one: Antonio Banderas is Dakota Johnson’s ex-stepdad. He was married to her mom, Melanie Griffith, for years, but even after the divorce, they’ve stayed close. Antonio even posted a selfie with Dakota last year. Family ties run deep, huh?
📌 This next one blew my mind - RuPaul and Senator Cory Booker are cousins! They found out thanks to the PBS show Find Your Roots. Imagine discovering you’re related to RuPaul AND getting to guest star on RuPaul’s Drag Race!
📌And how about this? Rebel Wilson owes part of her acting career to Nicole Kidman. Nicole funded a scholarship that sent Rebel to study acting in the U.S. Rebel didn’t just take the opportunity and run - she donated the money back to the same program to help future actors. A full-circle moment!
📌 Here’s one for the books: Lady Gaga is godmother to Elton John’s two sons. She used to bathe them and sing them to sleep. Can you imagine a bedtime lullaby from Gaga? Talk about a magical childhood!
📌 Now, let’s chat about John Boyega and Letitia Wright. They met at acting school in London and bonded over deep conversations at McDonald’s. They’ve stayed close, cheering each other on as their careers soared. True friendship goals, right?
📌 Here’s a quirky one: Mara Wilson (Matilda, anyone?) and political commentator Ben Shapiro are cousins. They’re not exactly close - Mara once hinted about cutting certain relatives out of her life, and fans immediately guessed she was talking about Ben.
📌 Did you know Jamie Dornan and Eddie Redmayne were roommates before making it big? They even hung out with Andrew Garfield and Robert Pattinson. The gang would split one cocktail at the Standard Hotel because, well, broke actor life.
📌 Here’s a Harvard drama class throwback: Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was Matt Damon’s scene partner! While Matt was already a campus star, Ketanji remembers the experience vividly. Imagine saying, “Yeah, I ran lines with Jason Bourne!”
📌 Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Hugh Grant are cousins! They didn’t meet until filming Love Actually, but it’s cool how the acting gene seems to run in the family.
📌Keanu Reeves’ mom, a costume designer, made Dolly’s iconic Playboy bunny outfit. Young Keanu even tagged along to fittings.
📌Speaking of family connections, Brandy and Snoop Dogg are cousins. That also makes Ray J (Brandy’s brother) Snoop’s cousin too. Talk about a talented family tree!
📌 Tia and Tamera Mowry babysat Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen on the Full House set. They even landed a guest spot on the show. Imagine babysitting future fashion moguls!
📌 Owen Wilson and Wes Anderson met in a playwriting class at UT Austin and later became roommates. Fun fact: Wes noticed Owen’s habit of reading the newspaper during seminars. Casual genius vibes, right?
📌 Lastly, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale? They worked together on a Sears commercial before starring in ‘High School Musical.’ Fate clearly had big plans for them!
Crazy how these stories reveal just how interconnected the world is, right? Which one surprised you the most? Let me know in the comments.
