Meet the Non-Famous Siblings of Your Favorite Stars
Just like any family, there is the golden child, and then there are the rest of us. Imagine what it would be like if your sibling wasn’t just Mom’s favorite, but everyone’s favorite—because they were literally famous! It would be seriously hard to keep up that sibling competition. How could you outshine your sister if she was Bella Hadid? It would be tough, but you can tell that blood is thicker than water, and they would do anything for each other at the end of the day.
Regardless of their fame and status, seeing the siblings of our favorite celebs reminds us that we’re all human and that they were ordinary people before the starlight. Getting to know their siblings shows us what they would have been like if fame hadn’t come knocking on their doors. Forget about James and Dave Franco; we want to talk about Tom Franco, the Bonus Jonas, and the other Jenners! These are non-famous siblings of some of the most famous stars in Hollywood.
James Middleton
Just as fashion-forward as his sisters, James also rocks an iconic style that’s sure to grab attention.
James is an entrepreneur and has owned many business including a cake making business, and he co-founded a company called Boomf that can print pictures on marshmallows!
Luke Hemsworth
Chris and Liam Hemsworth show that good looks are totally genetic, little did we know there is a third Hemsworth to go around! Luke Hemsworth is the older Hemsworth brother, and like his brothers, he’s got the blonde hair and blue eyes that make our heads spin.
He’s most known for his role in Westworld as Ashley Stubbs. He’s not as famous as his brothers now, but he’s definitely on his way.
JD Scott
JD Scott is the more obscure property brother. The world fell in love with his tall dark and handsome brothers from their show Property Brothers on HGTV, and quickly took to him too after his several appearances.

Frankie Jonas (The Bonus Jonas)
When the three Jonas brothers struck their fame, their younger brother Frankie was too young to be in the band. The internet lovingly nicknamed him “The Bonus Jonas” but the brothers never called him that – for obvious reasons.
We’ve gotten to know Frankie on the reality show Married to Jonas, and through his appearance on the Disney Channel Movie Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

Antonia Kidman
While Nichole has made her fame in the US, her sister Antonia found her passion in journalism and TV presenter in Australia.
Antonia is three years younger than her sister, and is a busy mom of 6 kids!
Kirby Jenner
