also discovered that Hillary and Angelina Jolie are 9th cousins twice removed Nicole Richie and Michael Jackson we're now moving on to another kind of relationship between celebrities that of godparents and God children a lot of famous people are godparents to their famous friends young kids but this isn't a 21st century trend go back 30 years and you'll find celebs were doing that back then too and some of those little kids grew up to be just as well-known as their famous parents and godparents take Nicole Richie for example Nicole's family's history is really interesting in a lot of ways first off Michael Jackson was her Godfather she used to refer to him as Uncle Michael just like she used to refer to Uncle Prince to these music superstars were part of her life thanks to her music superstar father Lionel Richie and Prince has a special place in their story as it was at a Prince concert that Lionel first saw Nicole she was a little girl playing tambourine on stage line all his friends with her parents who were having issues with raising their family so Lionel and his wife became Nicole's legal guardians and eventually adopted her when she was nine years old she spent time in her Godfather's Neverland Ranch and defended Michael through the hard times drew Barrymore and Steven Spielberg like Nicole Richie drew Barrymore gained a famous Godfather later in life while a lot of parents she's got parents for their children when they're born Drew's Godfather's story has a twist she actually requested herself but Steven Spielberg take on the role most of us know that the movie's director and actress worked together on et but did you know that Spielberg became Drew's Godfather after that experience and did you know that they actually first met before that famous film drew audition for poltergeist when she was six and she admitted that she lied her face off to try to impress Kilberg to get the part drew told ellen degeneres that she claimed to have a family full of brothers and that she was a prodigy cook she also said she was a drummer in a rock and roll band called the purple people eaters spielberg didn't think drew was right for that part but he did go on to caster and ET and after that experience drew asked her mother if the director could be her Godfather and he agreed drew revealed that he always inspired her to be her best so she didn't want him to see her at her worst and that's why she didn't go to him with certain things he always looked out for her though and made his opinion known in a tongue-in-cheek way after drew posed for Playboy age 19 he sent her a large blanket with a note that said cover up Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard some celebrities become related through marriage and that's what happened with Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard Jake and Peter were friends and then Peter started dating Jake's sister Maggie Gyllenhaal in 2002 they Wed in 2009 making Jake and Peter official brothers-in-law but Peter describes Jake as his brother anyway telling GQ magazine that he's extremely close to him it's just as well that they have such an unbreakable bond as things got pretty heated between them on set once the actors starred together in the 2005 movie jarhead and they took things a bit too far during a fight scene Jake's character was part of a group of soldiers that branded Peters character and Peter got hurt during the first take he later discovered he had a broken rib when director Sam Mendes asked for another take Peter admitted that he lost it he revealed that they looks like they were coming out in just as hard and take two so he hit Jake as hard as he could in the windpipe and then claimed it was an accident when they came hard again for the third take Peter lost it this incident led to the pair not speaking for 10 days however it eventually strengthened their friendship Melissa McCarthy and Jenny McCarthy the fact that Melissa McCarthy and Ginny McCarthy have the same surname doesn't actually mean that many of us realized that the actresses and comedians are related but they are the cousins grew up in Illinois and spent their childhood with their big family they both then move to Hollywood in their 20s in fact you could say that Melissa has her cousin to thank for her first break when Ginny was bleeding the MTV sketch comedy show Ginny in the late 1990s she helped her cousin get her first job on the show they both then worked hard at their careers and each made it big in their own right Jenny's career took a turn towards reality shows and a Frances as herself on the view Donnie loves Ginny and Wahlberg's while Melissa has focused on acting in comedy films like bridesmaids and spy they're still on good terms with Ginny sharing throwback Thursday photos of them as kids on social media but they don't get spotted and published together and it's thought Melissa wasn't at Jenny's wedding - Donnie Wahlberg Melissa even told Howard Stern that she and her cousin are in opposite worlds now she also has another successful cousin who is in quite a different world - Jenny's sister the former professional basketball player Joanne McCarthy Sofia Coppola Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman the Coppola family is a well-known directing dynasty but did you know that actors Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman are part of it and that they're cousins it was Sofia Coppola this Hollywood clan is so interesting there have been family trees published about them to help unravel all the connections between them so let's trace it back to the beginning carmine Coppola started the ball rolling when he won an Oscar for scoring the Godfather Part two he had two cousins and a daughter there's August Coppola who didn't follow the family business instead becoming a literature professor this is Nicholas dad and then there's Francis Ford Coppola who founded production company American zoetrope this is Sophia and Romans dad and finally there's Talia Coppola who got Oscar nods for her roles in Rocky and The Godfather Part 2 she is Jason Schwartzman - mom are you keeping up it's a bit complicated isn't it interestingly Nicholas changed his name from Coppola to cage because he didn't want to trade off the family's reputation but he did have parts in his uncle Francis Ford's Rumble fish and the Cotton Club and he also starred an adaption which is directed by his one-time cousin-in-law Spike Jones who was married to Sophia what a tangled web Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine we've seen celebs we didn't know were cousins but now we're bringing it closer to home with siblings Warren Beatty and Shirley MacLaine the big sister enjoyed success in her career earlier than her little brother she received 3 Oscar nominations for leading roles by the time she was 30 while Warren had none but then Warren starred and Bonnie and Clyde and had a very successful stretch of career interesting Lee as Shirley was considered for the role of Bonnie but when her brother was cast she dropped out say that would be adding incest to injury unlike the Coppola family who frequently work together Warren and Shirley didn't make their personal relationship professional why so and 2016 Shirley told Closer magazine that she didn't think that they'd be a good team but what did Warren think about it when asked about working with his sister Warren told CBS Sunday morning that it was not a bad idea at one point Shirley was quoted as saying they rarely see each other but she was there when Warren gave her significant mention when he accepted the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008 and she also looked out for him after he was involved in the 2017 Oscars mixed up when he invades Dunaway announced the wrong film for the best picture award she told USA Today she was concerned with how he must have felt being so close to him and protective over him Harris Jackson and Macaulay Culkin when you see social media pictures of Paris Jackson and Macaulay Culkin hanging out they look like a pair of friends or even a cute couple but did you know they're actually related not by blood but by another honor the home alone actor is the models Godfather Macaulay and Michael Jackson were such good friends but the late music star asks the young actor friend to take on that important role for his daughter even though he was only a teen at the time it looks like it was a great decision though as the pair obviously gets along so well together Paris has shared adorable snaps on Instagram of herself giving her Godfather a hipster manicure the pair looks really comfortable together as they do in their Instagram pictures like wearing bunny ears McCauley is also godfather to Michael's other children and Elizabeth Taylor is their godmother talk about a fascinating pair of people to guide you through life Paris was just 11 when her father died in 2009 so it's really heartwarming to see how Macaulay has taken on a special role in her life from her childhood and now that she's an adult we're sure Michael would be smiling which celebrity should ship surprised you the most let us know in comments and please give this video a big thumbs up
