...is Donald Sutherland's son?

It never even occurred to me that he might be from an acting family....

Ermmmm... Yes, I think you might be. Sorry.

ilovemyghds · 14/01/2009 19:01

lol! Yes, think you are

MadamAnt · 14/01/2009 19:01

Did the fact that they look really quite similar not strike you as a wee bit of a coincidence?

NAB3lovelychildren · 14/01/2009 19:02

Thank God

I thought you were going to say gay!!!!!!!!

bran · 14/01/2009 19:02

But they look the same, how could you not know?

there's a clue in the name

and they look the same

although Donald is a better actor imo

megcleary · 14/01/2009 19:04

i was worried you were going to say gay too!

edam · 14/01/2009 19:05

think you are on your own with this one, AmIOdette. BUT I have just discovered that Kenton in the Archers is Clement Atlee's grandson. Bet that's not as widely-known! (Or cared about, to be fair...)

Are there other acting families we could surprise you with perhaps?

Did you know the Melissa Gilbert (Laura from Little House on the Prarie) and Sara Gilbert (the dark haired daughter from Roseanne) are half sisters?

Or that John and Joan Cusack are brother and sister (and that their parents have very little imagination when naming children).

AliceTheCamelHasGotTheHump · 14/01/2009 19:09

Well I've never heard of Donald Sutherland, so technically I didn't know. Now I do know I'm none the wiser.

OMaLittle · 14/01/2009 19:09

And, wait for it, Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are siblings?

The Estevez Sheen family will really confuse you

Tinker · 14/01/2009 19:13

Who is the father of Lloyd and Beau Bridges then?

llareggub · 14/01/2009 19:13

Presumably you also don't know that Emilio Estevez is Keifer's brother?

Tidey · 14/01/2009 19:13

Awww Saint George, I was just about to post that!

Okay then... Michael Barrymore is Drew Barrymore's half sister's cousin's niece twice removed.

Tinker · 14/01/2009 19:13

Damn, damn, damn I typed that wrongly!!!

llareggub · 14/01/2009 19:13

Or is that Charlie Sheen?
hmm

bran · 14/01/2009 19:14

I suspect Alice is indirectly boasting about being very young indeed.

BitOfFun · 14/01/2009 19:15

No he isn't! Isn't he Charlie sheen's brother?

TheOtherMaryPoppinsDiets · 14/01/2009 19:15

Lloyd is the father and Jeff and Beau the offspring
