Yep, it's true

As Anora star Mikey Madison continues to make waves in Hollywood, some fun facts about her are coming to light—like the time she revealed in Variety’s Actors on Actors with Pamela Anderson that she didn't use an intimacy coordinator for those steamy scenes in the award-winning film. But perhaps the most surprising revelation? She has a twin brother.

Yep, you read that right. Madison isn’t just one of five siblings—she has two sisters and two brothers, one of whom is her twin. She recently opened up to W about growing up as a twin and shared a comical (yet, relatable) sibling story.

"I was always the weird horse girl, and I think at some point I grew into myself a little bit more. People started to think that I wasn't, like, weird," she said. "My twin brother would pretend that we weren't siblings. People would be like on the last day of school, ‘Miles, why would you be getting into [Mikey's] car with her?’ And he was like, ‘Oh, she's my sister.’"

She added with a laugh, "He has since apologized."

While it may seem like Madison has suddenly burst onto the scene, she’s been working in Hollywood for years. Her career started with guest roles in short filmsshort films—fast-forward to 2017, when she landed a role as young Maddie on Bravo’s Imposters, followed by appearances in Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood and 2022's Scream. But it was her breakout role as Max in FX’s Better Things that really put her on the map.

Most recently, she played Judith in Lady in the Lake and Ani in Anora—and it’s probably safe to say this is just the beginning.
