We often follow the career of our favorite actors and actress for years. Supporting their ventures into film, TV, and other established businesses, sometimes fans forget that they are regular people just like us. Along with their hobbies and interests outside of stardom, many stars rely on their friends and family to keep them grounded.
In addition to being a great support system, sometimes these family members turn out to be hidden treasure troves of good looks too. Although most Hollywood stars dazzle their fans with their stunning beauty, fans often overlook the same good looks in other members of their family.
We cannot deny how much we love seeing celebrities appearing at red carpet events with a family member as their escort. Moreover, those escorts happen to be very attractive too. On these rare occasions, fans are treated to not one but two great-looking members of the same family (and sometimes more). In this article, we will cover some of the best looking brothers of established celebrities from TV, film, and high-end fashion. Not only do their siblings rival their famous brothers and sisters - some even outshine them. Thank goodness for their strong family genes.
From up-and-coming actors to established businessmen, here are 21 Stunning Stars Whose Unknown Brothers Are Even Better Looking.
Blake & Eric Lively
Hailing from a family of deeply invested in the entertainment industry, actress Black Lively began honing her acting skills at a very early age. Instead of leaving her with a babysitter, her parents took her to acting classes that they taught.
Not just Lively became involved in the family business - her siblings did as well.
While many fans focus on her career since her Gossip Girl stardom, others recognize her handsome older brother Eric Lively from his starring roles on So Weird, A Minute with Stan Hooper, and The L Word. Although not as well-known as his younger sister, he still established moderate success in movies such as The Butterfly Effect 2, 24: Redemption, and A Madea Christmas.
With no additional acting credits since 2014, fans will have to settle with seeing the attractive actor while he accompanies his sister at her events.
Hayden & Jansen Panettiere
Known for her youthful appearance and petite stature, actress Hayden Panettiere became a household name after starring in the series Heroes. After her four year stint on the show, Panettiere found her next significant lead role in the musical drama Nashville. However, the stardom of the Panettiere family does not stop with just her claim to fame.
Her younger brother, Jansen, has maintained a steady career in showbiz as well.
Along with sharing his sister’s good looks he also carries on the tradition of excellent acting skills. Viewers may recognize his voice from his roles on Blue’s Clues and Ice Age: The Meltdown. The two siblings even worked together on several occasions in Tiger Cruise, The Forger and Racing Stripes (voice acting only). His future projects include the film Horse and thriller Eden Falls.
Chris & Scott Evans
Any superhero fan will immediately recognize Chris Evans as the current Captain America from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With his good looks and real-life superhero persona, fans all over the world swoon over the actor. However, fans have also taken an interest in Evans’ younger brother Scott as well.
Although not quite as famous as his older brother, Scott has managed to build his own fan base thanks to his acting career. Beginning on the soap opera One Life to Live, his television career included roles on Fringe, the Law & Order franchise, and, most recently, the Netflix comedy Grace and Frankie. He also gained more recognition in the gay community after sharing his story of how Chris outed him to the press. Seriously uncool.
Since then, the Evans brothers have frequented special events and even talk shows together.
Taylor & Austin Swift
It is hard to believe anyone could take the spotlight from hugely popular singer Taylor Swift. Given her numerous chart-topping albums, sold out tours and multiple music awards, you would think no one could manage to take away from her fame.
When fans got a glimpse of her younger brother Austin, he became the new star of the Swift family.
A frequent extra in his sister’s videos (along with his friends), Austin decided to carve out his own career in Hollywood. His acting credits include TV series Embeds and Still the King. He also secured roles in films as well including Ben Affleck’s film Live by Night and I.T. with Pierce Brosnan.
Although he began his rise to fame as the good-looking date for his sister at special events, he continues to build his career outside of his sister’s reputation.
Rihanna & Rajad Fenty
Fan across the globe go wild when they hear the name “Rihanna." The Barbadian singer/songwriter entered the music scene in 2003, and her fame skyrocketed since them. Expanding her career beyond the world of music, Rihanna successfully launched not only an acting career but profitable business ventures into fashion and cosmetics. However, other members of the Fenty family (Rihanna’s real last name) continue to make a name for themselves.
Fans watched as Rihanna’s younger brother, Rajad, grew up over the years to become a handsome young man. In fact, he has gained numerous followers on Instagram and Twitter due to both his sister’s fame and his own charming personality. Given his commentary as an amateur fashion critic, we would not be surprised to see him in the fashion industry pretty soon.
Scarlett & Hunter Johansson
From Woody Allen films to MCU superhero movies, actress Scarlett Johansson continues to demonstrate her versatility in Hollywood. Known for playing both serious drama and light comedy, the actress proves that she is a force to be reckoned with. Known for both her beauty and talent, her fans find it hard to believe that she could be outmatched. However, the Johansson family also includes more untapped talent from her younger twin brother Hunter.
Although his acting credits are limited, Hunter still manages to make headlines as the handsome companion to his sister for awards ceremonies. With only a single acting credit to his name in 1996, the younger Johansson spends his time working for local charities and non-profit organizations. He even helped with the election and re-election campaigns for President Barack Obama.
Justin & Sebastian Theroux
Although he gained more fame by being married to Jennifer Anniston (though they recently separated), actor Justin Theroux established a solid acting career since 1996. Starring in both television and film, his past roles include The District, The Leftovers and Mulholland Drive proved his capacity for serious acting.
Although he became an easily recognizable actor since then, his fans could help but also notice that good looks definitely run in his family. Paparazzi caught Theroux traveling the streets of New York with his younger and handsome brother Sebastian.
Both brothers actually share an interest in the entertainment business, but Sebastian prefers working behind the scenes. Starting in 2015, he served as production assistant on The Americans, Gotham, and Quantico. Most recently, he continued in the position on the series Crashing in 2017.
Zac & Dylan Efron
Former Disney Channel star Zac Efron managed to grow up before the eyes of his fans worldwide. Starring as the teenage heartthrob Troy Bolton in the High School Musical franchise, he instantly became a household name. Since leaving the family-friendly channel behind, Efron moved on to more dramatic roles in Charlie St. Cloud, The Lucky One, and The Paper Boy. He returned to his musical root in the 2017 film The Greatest Showman.
However, while Efron takes the spotlight in big-budget films, his brother Dylan became the real star on Efron social media accounts. Since appearing in candid photos with his famous older brother, Dylan gained numerous fans for his handsome face and chiseled abs. Although not an actor like Zac, he does dabbled in showbiz as an assistant to producer Ravi Mehta.
Rachel & Daniel McAdams
Though she started as a comedic film actress, Rachel McAdams effortlessly showcased her ability for more diverse acting throughout her career. Known for her roles in Mean Girls and TheHot Chick, Adams captivated audiences with her outstanding performance in the drama The Notebook. Since them, McAdams’s credits included the Sherlock Holmes franchise, Doctor Strange, and Spotlight.
Behind the scenes, her younger brother Daniel may have helped her stay in shape for her Academic Award-nominated roles. Ever since he made an appearance with his sister at a TIFF party in 2015, fans could not get enough of the handsome personal trainer and owner of his own fitness company.
Although Daniel has not been seen as frequently since his first appearance by his sister’s side, we definitely won’t forget the impression he made on all of us.
Rami & Sami Malek
Since its premiere in 2015, high-tech TV drama Mr. Robot has captivated audiences with its excellent storylines and talented cast. Led by actor Rami Malek, the series established itself as a critically acclaimed series even through its third season, which concluded in 2017.
Although fans find Malek to be quite attractive, many were surprised to find he shared his good looks with his twin Sami.
Younger by only four minutes, Sami Malek decided not to follow his in his brother’s footsteps into acting. Instead, the younger Malek works in Loa Angeles as a teacher. Although Hollywood missed out on another handsome Malek brother, we are grateful for Sami’s dedication to the future of the young minds of California. On the looks front, Sami’s beard adds a little something extra to the twins’ looks - maybe Rami should grow one too.
Chloë Grace Moretz & Trevor Duke-Moretz
Although Chloë Grace Moretz began acting back in 2004 in both tv and films, she did not become a huge star until the 2010 film Kick-Ass. Playing the potty-mouthed hero Hit-Girl, Moretz established herself as an exceptional child actress. Since then, she starred in the sequel Kick-Ass 2, Diary of a Wimpy Kid and the remake of the Stephen King classic Carrie.
Since her child actress days, Moretz has grown up to become a beautiful young woman. However, Moretz isn’t the only star in her family.
Older brother Trevor Duke-Moretz began building his Hollywood career as an assistant to his sister. The handsome 31-year old moved on work as both an actor and executive producer in later years. Although he spends most of his time behind the scenes, fans wish he would bring his stunning good looks in front of the camera more often.
Lupita & Peter Nyong’o
Known around the world for her stunning beauty and outstanding acting talent, actress Lupita Nyong’o mesmerized audiences with her performance in the 2013 film 12 Years a Slave. Garnering the award for Best Supporting Actress at the 2014 Academy Awards, Nyong’o had an unforgettable night. However, her Oscars debut came with an added bonus: the world got to meet her brother, Peter.
Serving as her escort for the evening, her younger brother certainly made headlines for being quite paparazzi-friendly. Not only was Peter good-looking but he did not shy away from being in front of the cameras. In fact, he even made it into Ellen DeGeneres’s now infamous Oscar selfie with Hollywood icons Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts. He also managed to snap more selfies with John Travolta, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Gabrielle Union. Best brother ever!
Dave & Tom Franco
The Franco brothers continue to dominate box offices around the world. Eldest brother James rose to fame playing Harry Osborn in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man trilogy. Since then, his body of work frequently contrasts between insane comedies such as Pineapple Express and The Interview to more dramatic work in As I Lay Dying. He’s faced controversy recently over harassment and assault allegations.
Younger brother Dave began his career in comedies such as the tv series Scrubs and the film SuperBad. Much like his brother, his resume includes both comedies and dramatic works, proving his full spectrum of acting capabilities.
However, the third Franco brother, the good-looking middle son, Tom, also starred in a few films as well including small roles since 1990. Although he has not reached the level of stardom that his brothers have, he definitely caught the eye of many fans due to his good looks.
Emma & Alex Watson
British Emma Watson gained widespread praise for her portrayal of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter franchise. She became a successful child actress and moved on to more mature characters. Her post Harry Potter career established her as a serious adult actress in both British and American productions.
While she was conquering Hollywood, her younger brother Alex took on the fashion industry.
Though he made small appearances in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and The Order of the Phoenix, his true calling remains as a model. He began modeling under Storm Model Agency for top brands such as Burberry. He has even escorted his sister on a few occasion to some prestigious Hollywood events, including Harry Potter premieres.
Kirsten & Christian Dunst
Gaining recognition form playing child vampire Claudia in Interview with the Vampire, actress Kirsten Dunst developed from a child actress to an accomplished adult star. Her roles include numerous comedies, historical dramas, and award-nominated performances.
As Dunst continued to shine in various films, her family never left her side as she rose to success. In fact, her brother Christian occasionally accompanied his sister to her special events including the 2017 SAG Awards.
The paparazzi took to him for his striking features, which are very similar to his sister’s.
Although Christian does not act, he does play a role in Hollywood: he is credited as being a producer in the industry. From his tall stature to his adorable dimples, we will not forget Christian Dunst any time soon.
Jessica & Joshua Alba
Known for her role as Max Guevara in Dark Angel, Jessica Alba has since moved on to roles ranging from action-adventures to darker dramas. In addition, her business The Honest Company currently stands as a very successful consumer goods manufacturer.
Although Jessica is the most well-known member of the Alba family, her younger brother Joshua has been establishing a career for himself in the spotlight. Seen frequently out and about with his older sister, he also works in Hollywood.
First starring in Dark Angel with his sister, he later took on parts in The Division, Monk, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. His last acting credit came in 2015 in the film Synapse. Though his acting career seems to have stalled since then, he still supports his sister as she continues her career as a successful businesswoman.
Bella, Gigi & Anwar Hadid
Coming into the TV spotlight due to the reality series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Bella and Gigi Hadid became just as famous as their mother, Yolanda. Known for their stunning beauty and poise, both sisters found work early on as models. Although their personal lives continue to keep them in the headlines, their true fame lies with their high-end fashion modeling careers.
Though most people know Bella and Gigi by name, few fans realize that their gorgeous younger brother, Anwar, also frequents the catwalks as well. Also gaining fame from his mother’s reality show appearance, he began modeling in 2016, appearing in both magazines and high-end fashion shows, including New York Fashion Week. Though the siblings have yet to work together on a modeling gig, we do not doubt that day will come soon enough.
Ansel & Warren Elgort
Ansel Elgort proved early on that he was a multitalented star. He began his early film career in the Divergent franchise and The Fault in Our Stars (both starring Shailene Woodley). His role in Baby Driver garnered enough acclaim to earn him a nomination at the Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy. In addition, Elgort has been building a career both as a singer and DJ (under the name Ansølo).
Talent definitely runs in the family - made up of his photographer father, his opera producer mother, and his brother. Warren Elgort also works in the entertainment industry. He currently works as a film director, cinematographer, and producer. Recently, he and his brother worked together on the 2017 film November Criminals; Warren as assistant camera and Ansel as a lead actor.

Lily & Sam Thomson
Lady Rose MacClare certainly shook things up when she first appeared on Downton Abbey. Played by Lily James, the character remained a fixture of the show for 21 episodes.
