Sometimes it pays off to get along with your siblings!
Plenty of celebrities have famous siblings but not all of them have gotten the chance to work together. While some shy away from the idea, others are elated when the opportunity arises to collaborate with a family member.
Whether it’s on a big budget film set or in the studio, working with a loved one can have its perks — especially in the midst of a high pressure Hollywood gig. Model Gigi Hadid says it’s always comforting to have younger sister Bella around when they’re working on shoots together.
“I can look across the room through all the craziness and have that sense of home,” Gigi has said.
Other celeb sibs like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Ben and Casey Affleck have working relationships that have stood the test of time — proving that getting along with your siblings can be pretty lucrative!
Check out 23 celebrity siblings who have joined forces for some creative projects.
