out of the blue this is smack dab in the middle of the blue he was right and i was wrong for this list we're looking at famous folks with famous relatives whose family connections are not super well known are you related to anyone famous let us know in the comments number 20. marissa tomei and julianne moore tomae and moore both attended boston university both starred in the film crazy stupid love and have both won acting oscars a convenient but they also share something even more unique on a 2019 episode of the pbs show finding your roots tome learned that she shares a quote identical stretch of dna along their x chromosome with more julie han joy you know we went to school together really i didn't know that yes jules oh i can't wait to tell her for all the non-genealogists in the audience that means marissa and julianne are genetic cousins insert your own my cousin vinnie joke here the news made tommy very happy and more later expressed her excitement on instagram saying quote i knew we were alike marisa tomei is my cousin oh my god i'm so excited number 19 stanley tucci and emily blunt hollywood history is filled with stories of couples meeting on the set of a film and falling in love but there are far fewer stories that involve actors meeting on set one of those actors introducing the other to her sister and then those two fall in love however that is how tucci and blunt became in-laws stanley worked with emily on the film the devil wears prada and they became friends that i can't even talk about all right everyone gird your loins then at emily's 2010 wedding to john krasinski she introduced tucci to her sister felicity two years later stanley and felicity were married number 18 riley keough and elvis presley riley started modeling at 15 and got her first acting role in 2010 when she was 21. in 2015 she landed a supporting role in mad max fury road but her true big break came the following year when she starred in the first season of the girlfriend experience i'll call you on saturday and i'll explain everything i just i i'm in a hurry so how does this all connect back to the king helifahana well it's simple her mother is lisa marie presley the daughter of elvis and priscilla presley which makes riley the granddaughter of the king number 17 jonah hill and beenie feldstein jonah and beanie are actually brother and sister no they're not step siblings they have the same mother and father yes this would probably make more sense if you knew that jonah hill's real name is jonah hill feldstein while hill has become a pretty big deal in hollywood over the last decade his younger sister beanie whose real name is elizabeth has recently been gaining some recognition as well she was part of the screen actors guild nominated cast of lady bird and in 2019 she starred in book smart earning a golden globe nomination for her performance number 16 vic morrow and jennifer jason lee morrow was an actor for over two decades in hollywood from the 1950s through the 1970s he appeared on tv in the show combat in the 60s and in a number of films including the bad news bears in 1976. sadly he was one of three people killed when a stunt helicopter crashed on the set of twilight zone the movie back in 1982. in case you hadn't guessed jennifer jason lee is his daughter she was born jennifer lee morrow but early on in her career changed her name and added the jason as a tribute to family friend actor jason robards number 15 liev schreiber and pablo schreiber the story of how leave and pablo schreiber became half-brothers sounds like a movie ray donovan starliev was born in san francisco and the family moved to british columbia when he was just a year old liev's mother was hospitalized multiple times as the result of a bad lsd trip from years prior liev's father threatened to put her in a mental institution so she took leave and ran away his father was finally able to track them down when liev was three years old his parents divorced a few years later and his mother got custody oh my god that's crazy his dad went back to bc remarried and had another son pablo who recently appeared in apple tv's defending jacob number 14 malcolm mcdowell and alexander sedig this familial relationship takes us all the way from corova milk bar to outer space malcolm mcdowell has had a great acting career dating back over 50 years but is still maybe best known for playing alex in a clockwork orange what a glorious feeling what most people don't know is that his older sister gloria who passed away in 2001 was the mother of star trek deep space nine actor alexander sedig you might also know him as duran martel on game of thrones in case you're still trying to figure out the exact relationship here malcolm is alexander's uncle like ned stark and jon snow just much less confusing number 13 leah thompson and zoe deutsch ed sheeran isn't the only one who thinks that zoe is perfect we're going to assume that her mother leah thompson feels the same way leah and her husband director howard deutsch welcomed daughter zoe into the world on november 10 1994. this was four years after the release of the third back to the future movie well you're my you're my my who are you the names mcfly maggie mcfly mcfly maggie and that's mrs mcfly and don't you be forgetting the misses the film series was thompson's big break and she rolled that fame into a starring role on caroline and the city which was must-see tv from 1995 to 1999. her daughter zoe is perhaps best known for her roles and everybody wants some set it up and the politician and it looks like she's on the road to super stardom where she's going they still need roads roads where we're going we don't need roads number 12. rupaul and cory booker and my cousin corey booker no really we are related thank you customer you call once again we have the pbs show finding your roots to thank for this familial discovery rupaul appeared on an episode of the series and it was during that recording that he was told that he and senator cory booker are cousins once you know this it's hard to look at them and not see the resemblance he looks like my kin yeah he does doesn't he rupaul claimed to have seen it even before getting the dna results saying quote every time i've ever seen him he reminds me of my cousin eula both the drag race host and the senator from new jersey had only good things to say about each other i was very happy about that that news and i hope that uh you and i can have a family reunion sometimes i think so i that would be great number 11. larry david and bernie sanders it isn't a requirement on snl to be related to a person you do an impersonation of in fact that's pretty much never the case as far as we know dana carvey isn't related to george bush tina fey isn't related to sarah palin and alec baldwin has no familial connection to donald trump and in fact when larry david was doing his bernie sanders impression on the show back in 2016 he didn't know that they were related i'm gonna go get some coffee you can't go out there what i'm a person like everybody else i'm a normal human being you're not normal but in 2017 thanks yet again to the show finding your roots both men learned that they were cousins i hope it's a good athlete what the hell you're kidding oh my god that is unbelievable we can definitely see it number 10 melissa and jenny mccarthy this is very exciting these women are actresses comedians and cousins these two gals hail from opposite ends of the spectrum melis is best known for her funny characters and jenny made a name for herself as a playboy model and tv host today the cousins both maintain steady careers in hollywood though their circles rarely overlap jenny has been a co-host on dick clark's new year's rockin eve been a judge on the masked singer and appeared on wahlburgers and donnie loves jenny with husband donny wahlberg i love that you're crying you did great are you sure sure do you have any worries melissa meanwhile won an emmy for her role on mike and molly and earned an oscar nomination for bridesmaids hey not air marshall john you want to get back in that restroom and not rest the cousin's career paths may have diverged over the years but they're cut from the same cloth the only thing that's different is my driver's license dennis lawson and ewan mcgregor we made a film perfect sense with dennis lawson who i believe is out here somewhere there is middle middle two uncle dennis not only did both of these esteemed scottish actors appear in star wars films they're also uncle and nephew look at the size of that thing two give you a refresher on that galaxy far far away lawson starred as wedge antilles in the original trilogy while mcgregor played obi-wan kenobi in the prequels why do i sense we've picked up another pathetic life form lawson actually inspired his nephew to get into acting and both their careers have spanned the big and small screens as well as the stage in fact lawson once directed a place starring mcgregor euron was at school still and i'd come back with the hair and the pink jeans and the and the waistcoats had a rabbit skin waistcoat and the medallions all that stuff like hippie gear and he just went oh i this i want to be like this neither is a stranger to accolades either as lawson won the 1983 olivier award for his role in the stage musical mr cinders and mcgregor has received golden globe nominations and is an officer of the order of the british empire these charming gentlemen are always fun to watch number eight lenny kravitz and al roker what could a grammy-winning rocker and a famous weather forecaster have in common they happen to be cousins you are lenny kravitz's cousin yeah well i am but i wasn't supposed to say it now i give up the monthly stipend kravitz's late mother roxy roker famous for her role on the jeffersons was roker's first cousin which makes the men first cousins once removed damn good roker's weather casting career began in 1974 and he's since become a household name through the today show he didn't stop there though and he's made tv and movie cameos co-wrote a series of murder mystery novels and holds the guinness world record for the longest uninterrupted live weather report so it gives me great pleasure to give you the guinness world records title for the long tv weather forecast al you are officially amazing on the other side of things kravitz is not only a successful musician but also a seasoned actor appearing in critical and commercial successes like precious and the hunger games talent really does run in the family just want a good show it's fine number 7. nicholas cage and jason schwartzman i want you to take this face and burn it along with their director cousin sophia these cousins are part of the famous coppola family cage is a critically acclaimed actor whose performance in leaving las vegas earned him an oscar a golden globe and a screen actors guild award he's also ventured into producing and comic book collecting schwartzman is best known for his work with wes anderson and has additionally had notable roles in marie antoinette saving mr banks and scott pilgrim versus the world you made me swallow my gum it's gonna be in my digestive tract for seven like his younger brother robert who you might know from the princess diaries schwartzman is also a musician he was the drummer for phantom planet and is behind the indie pop project coconut records it's pretty obvious that cage and schwartzman aren't just hollywood royalty but also gifted performers in their own right he often comes and stays a week or more three times a year at least but never in the season number six warren beatty and shirley maclean i've known the longest the person i've loved the longest on this planet and always will my brother warren these two are a couple of hollywood's most acclaimed actors and are actually brother and sister i'm clyde barron all right we rob banks over six decades beatty and mclean have appeared in such iconic films as bonnie and clyde terms of endearment and bugsy everybody needs a fresh start once in a while with 20 academy award nominations between them and almost as many golden globe nods both siblings received kennedy center honors the cecil b demille award and the afi life achievement award for their outstanding careers but perhaps most admirable is the pair's lasting friendship only three years apart in age they've always inspired and encouraged each other and this close bond helped them achieve success this is it i have found it i am in hell far from a sibling rivalry mclean and beatty are a testament to the power of supportive family i love you shirley thank you [Music] number five tom cruise and william mapother i feel the need the need for speed this action star and prominent scientologist may be one of hollywood's biggest names but there's another actor in the family people say if you don't love america then get the hell out well i love america cruz's first cousin william maypother often starred in thrillers and horror movies including in the bedroom and the grudge this will get easier soon i promise on the small screen he's best known for playing evil doctor ethan rahm on lost charlie i want her back may pother and crews have also appeared in five movies together with maypother's roles ranging from cameos like in minority report to small roles in mission impossible 2 and magnolia what am i doing yeah i'm quietly judging you whether they're kicking butt or scaring us silly these cousins sure know how to keep us entertained relax luther it's much worse than you think number four lily and alfie allen this is english singer and actor are brother and sister who'da thunk it lily shot to fame in 2006 with the release of her debut album alright still while alfie is best known for playing theon greyjoy on game of thrones can never hold it for more than a few days as soon as winterfell got word that we'd taken torrance square the starks would send their men to take it back the siblings are so close lily even wrote a song about alfie delivering lines only his sister could [Music] lilly has been known for her controversial remarks and feuds but she's now much more focused on her family and charity work so you've been trying to jump on lorries to get over into the uk has that what is that that must be terrifying is that scary besides game of thrones alfie is starred in films like john wick and pandemic and alfie have both received recognition for their work including grammy and screen actors guild nominations respectively now that's something to smile about lily also has a famous cousin stay with me singer sam smith number three taryn killum and robert stack we'll be great together watch out for this cable at first glance the sketch comedy star and the host of unsolved mysteries might seem like completely different people and yet taryn killem's great uncle was in fact the one and only robert stack no one knows how these enigmatic circles got there bolted gently from unbroken stalks of wheat and corn they may just represent one of the most intriguing unsolved mysteries of the century stack's acting career lasted over 60 years and he won an emmy for his role as agent elliot ness on the tv series

tomorrow tomorrow you will feel as well and refreshed as if the earth were new again stack passed away in 2003 but his talent lives on through his great nephew i think he might have lost his mind [Laughter] number two jason zedekis and george wendt my uncle who's a george went from cheers when i told him because i would send him the newsletter because he he he you know was always interested in what i was up to with that stuff uh he was like well jace you know i don't know if she would feel the same way for these funny men comedy is hereditary wendt is sedacus's maternal uncle and you may

tight-knit and wendt inspired his nephew to pursue an acting career wendt received six emmy nominations for his iconic role and even played norm outside of cheers woody give me a beer i think you've
