11 Characters You Never Realized Were Played by Twins

Over the years, we’ve marveled at how kid actors manage to stay so calm and well-behaved for their on-screen roles. In a sense, it was almost as if we were watching mini adults on our TVs. However, little did we know that most of these popular characters were played by twins and triplets!

For instance, remember Little Ricky from I Love Lucy? The role was actually played by twins named Joseph and Michael Mayer! And you know the toddler who currently plays D.J.’s son, Tommy, in Fuller House? That’s right. He is actually played by brothers named Dashiell and Fox Messitt! And according to their mom, Kacy, having both babies on board can be an extra special experience.

Other popular shows have also tricked us by secretly casting identical siblings, but what intrigued us the most was their behind-the-scenes stories!
