Famous celebs who you didnt know where related

[dustarr73]

Sally Meen and Matthew Goode are brother and sister.Knock me down with a feather

I am always quite taken by the fact that David Tennant, who played the tenth doctor, is son-in-law to Peter Davison, who played the fifth doctor. Peter Davidson's daughter, Georgia Moffett, played the clone daughter of tenth Doctor (David Tennant - her husband).

Plus Georgia's mother (Peter Davison's ex-wife and David Tennatt's mother-in-law) voiced a Doctor Who audio serial.

Morris so fascinated with your John Lennon's Best Man factoid I had to Google it - it was the other way round - John Lennon was Peter Boyle's (aka Frank Barone) Best Man. Great connection though, thanks.

I just found out that Jerome Flynn and Johnny Flynn ( currently playing Dobbin in Vanity Fair) are brothers. Now I know it seems so obvious but I guess the age gap meant I didn't put 2 and 2 together.

It’s so nepotistic isn’t it. The pool of families celebs are from is so small.

Claudia winkleman and the actress who played big suz in peep show are related (and the latter is married to a minor royal)

I was surprised that Eric Roberts is Julia’s brother.

Giles Coren is Alexander Armstrong's brother-in-law.

Emily Deschanel (from Bones) and Zooey Deschanel (New Girl) are sisters.

Eric Roberts and Julia Roberts

Emma Roberts is Eric Roberts dd and Julia Roberts niece

"Sophie and Emma Thompson" Not forgetting that their parents are also well known. Phyllida Law (actress) and Eric Thompson (actor, probably best known for his voice-over on The Magic Roundabout).

"Prunella Scales and Sam West - mother and son". Yes, and Prunella Scales is married to Timothy West - also well known actor!

Giles Coren is Alexander Armstrong's brother-in-law

And David Mitchell's brother in law.

I thought I was quite up with my celebrities but I think I've heard of about two people in this thread so far!

Oliver Hudson (from Nashville and Rules of Engagement) is Kate Hudson's brother. I realise they have the same surname, which should have clued me in but I didn't know his name for years! I'd just seen him in a few things.

Angelina Jolie and Jon Voight

Comin Jackson and his sister - I remember her from Brookside (showing age)

Colin Jackson I mean

George clooneys cousin was Miguel ferrer....

Sherilyn Fenn niece, Suzi Quatro aunty.

I used to fancy the pants off Colin Jackson. If only he weren’t gay I’m sure we’d be together now

For anyone currently watching the series Trust, I had no idea the Hollywood actor Balthazar Getty is the son of John Paul Getty III

Dennis Lawson is Ewan McGregor's uncle

I know it's pretty obvious that Roy and Rory Kinnear are father and son, but Rory is such a contrast with his father in terms of the work he does that it still somehow surprises me.

and David Mitchell's brother-in-law

Of course. So Alexander is also vaguely related to Victoria Coren-Mitchell. How tangled!

Alexander Armstrong was also cousin to Clarissa Dixon Wright

I was yesterday years old when I found out that Ingrid Bergman was Isabella Rossellini's mother.

I was also shocked when I found out Loza Minnelli is Judy Garland's daughter... now, I look at them and think 'of course they are but at the time... mind blown
