Mariska Hargitay and Jayne Mansfield are daughter and mother. We all know that Josh Ritter is the son of John Ritter, but few people know that John is the son of Western singing star Tex Ritter. Tex sang the title song for the movie High Noon (Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling).
@@iamalive.1255 Jason is also in the opening credits of Three's Company. He's the blonde haired little boy who walks up to one of the girls. I can't remember if it was Janet or Terry that he walks up to.
Ritters are Hollywood blue bloods. Actors married directors. Their generations are all in the same business. Drew Barrymore, Candice Bergen, Jane Fonda, just to name a few.
I found out a few years ago that I’m distantly related to Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. It made me super excited because Princess Leia has been my hero since I was a little girl
Marisa Tomei and Julianne Moore were also both on the soap opera, As The World Turns. I didn't know they both attended Boston University as well! That university has an incredible acting program!
Eartha Kitt is my 3rd or 4th cousin! She’s my grandfather cousin. Same plantation and everything in SC. I know a lot about her from my grandfather stories some good and some heartbreaking
Once you brought up Lenny Kravitz, I thought you were going to bring up his daughter ex wife and her current husband, who are Zoe Kravitz, Lisa Bonet, and Jason Mamoa respectively.
Can just see Al Roker singing Lenny’s song that played replacing “ I want to get away” with “ Let’s see what’s happeningggggg …. In Your neck of the woods!! Maybe he already has ?
My uncle was in the service during the Korean War with Willie Mays... they stayed in touch for a little while after, and he signed my uncle's baseball cards. Unfortunately he lost the cards in a house fire, but he never forgot their friendship in the service. That was worth more to him during that scary time! My uncle has been gone since 2009. Maybe he and Willie are swapping war stories in the great hereafter... cheers!
Lily and Alfie Allen also have a famous father - actor Keith Allen, who also had his own music project called "Fat Les", which also included comedy actors Rowland Rivron and Paul Kaye. Fat Les recorded songs that were full of British humour such as "Vindaloo" (which is also a favourite of English football fans) and "Naughty Christmas".
Keith has the BEST speaking voice - and has been great in both comedy and dramatic roles. He's also a great comic writer - I always loved the spoof of The Professionals he did with Peter Richardson.
I would add Sean Astin (LOTR, The Goonies, Stranger Things, etc) being the son of Patty Duke and THE OG Gomez Addams, John Astin. I remember seeing Sean's brother, Mackenzie, in later episodes of The Facts of Life (when Cloris Leachman took over for Charlotte Rae,) but then fell out of the spotlight.
@@tanyanewman55 Cool! Thanks for the info! It seems like John and Patty were together since the beginning of time, so it would make sense for Sean to be his son, but hey, life happens, and it doesn't matter if he's biological or not, as long as he was a loving father to those children. My own parents split up when my mom was 4 months pregnant with me (they were young and it was the 70's,) and she met my stepfather and they started dating during her pregnancy. He has been my other dad my whole life! Side note- my biological father stepped up to support me, so I have a nice relationship with him and always have. Regardless, my stepfather (my Dan,) raised me like I was his own. He took care of all 7 of us kids, even though 5 of us were not his blood. My family is huge and perhaps hard to explain, but I love all of us, and it is my life... been this way for almost 42 years! Lol... Well, again, thank you! I'll have to look up Michael Tell now... 🤔😁
This must be old, since it only mentions that Melissa McCarthy was nominated for an Oscar for Bridesmaids, but not her Best Actress Oscar nom for Can You Ever Forgive Me?
I don't think inlaws and marriages should really be apart of this video. Marriage could be a video for itself but inlaws is sorta irrelevant especially if it they had something to do with the connection
They didn’t mention that Gwen Stefani and Madonna are distant cousins. Also, they forgot to mention that Hailie Bieber (neé Baldwin) is the niece of Alec Baldwin. Chris Pine is the son of Robert Pine and Drew Barrymore comes from a family of actors.
Stephen: "Am I not famous enough for you to mention that Hallie is my daughter?" McManus: "Give me the f#@king keys, you f#@king c#@ks#@king motherf#@ker, aaarrrghh." ~ The Usual Suspects
Snoop is also related to one of the most famous female wrestlers Sasha Banks ... it’s actually a decent story how he took her to one of the biggest shows ever when she was a teen, helping fuel her dreams
I am distantly related to Elizabeth Taylor and John Wayne on my father's mother's side of the family. Liz Taylor is one of the inspirations behind my author alias, Katrina Taylor.
That’s cool lol, the closest I could get was my grandma and late grandpa hanging out with some singing groups (The dramatics and I can’t remember the name of the other one)
One id add is Trainspotting actor Jonny Lee Miller who was married to Angelina Jolie, being the grandson of actor Bernard Lee who played M in the older James Bond movies.
I knew that the first time I saw Jesse Eisenberg. They look similar. And that was before I knew his last name. I used to watching Hallie Kate in movies. She is the same age as me. Although I am a couple months older than her.
They didn’t mention their older sister Kerry Vera Lea who is the most talented of the three. She did a lot of voice work in the late 90’s & early 00’s. Plus ran an acting school for children when she was only 19. Now she mostly does work as an extra on a myriad of TV shows. But Hallie & Jesse both owe their careers to her.
I definitely knew 95% of these! Should do a part 2...Im not related to anyone hollywood famous(at least that I know of) I am 50%native american and my distant grandfather was Sitting Bull
Unclear why you bring up Jessica Leigh is Jamie Lee Curtis' mother and don't mention Tony Curtis is her father, even if you already think we know that.
Absolutely mind-blowing to discover these unexpected family connections among celebrities! The fact that Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein are siblings was a fun surprise. It's fascinating to see the diversity of talent within a single family, like in the case of Lenny Kravitz and Al Roker. This video really shows how small the entertainment world can be!
You forgot: George Clooney & Miguel Ferrer (cousins) Jason Patric & Jackie Gleason (grandson & grandfather) David Rievers & Corbin Bleu (father & son) Sissy Spacek & Rip Torn (cousins) Rob Schneider & Elle King (father & daughter)
Zoey Perry and Laurie Metcalf both play the role of Mary Cooper on Young Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory respectively. Laurie Metcalf is Zoey Perry's mother.
Jim Nabors was unfortunately related to me. I reached out to him in Hawaii multiple times. Not because I wanted anything. But because I wanted to know the story of a mutual relationship named Bittle. Completely ignored me I expected this much but it still hurt! All I wanted was a family history. Cora (Bittle) Casey, my great grandmother ran away from home because of a situation with her father so we never talked about that side of the family. Always wanted to know about them.
I knew a lot of these from the previous video but I had no idea Jennifer Jason Leigh is Vic Morrow’s Daughter or that The Robert Stack (grew up watching UM) was Taran’s Great Uncle 🤯
The funny thing is Zoey Deutch wouldnt exist without the turkey Howard The Duck….her parents met making Some Kind Of Wonderful, which initially Lea passed on until HTD tanked so hard.

I am related to, on my father's side, Lee Meriwether, who played Betty Jones in Barnaby Jones. And from what my cousin found on my mother's side, possibly Truman Capote.
Other unmentioned relations: Mark Harmon is the uncle of Matt and Gunnar Nelson (of the 90s band Nelson), who in turn are the sons of Ricky Nelson and the grandsons of Ozzie & Harriet. Jordana and Paget Brewster are distant cousins, both direct male-line descendants of William Brewster, the leader of the community of passengers on the Mayflower. Ashley Judd is also a descendant of Brewster through her father. Denise Crosby is Bing Crosby's granddaughter.
Gloria Steinem is Christian Bale's step-mother. David Tennant married the daughter of Peter Davidson. So Doctor Who is essentially his own son-in-law. Sean Pertwee is the son of the Third Doctor. The Gummer Sisters - Mamie and Grace - look like Meryl Streep because they both are half-Meryl Streep, genetically. Dakota Johnson is the children of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and the grandchild of Griffith's mother Tippi Hedren.
Peter DAVISON. Not “Davidson”. Peter Davison’s birth name is Peter MOFFAT. He chose “Davison” as his stage name. That’s why his daughter is Georgia MOFFAT.
I was doing some research into my genealogy and found a couple of famous names, but I haven't been able to back track any to definitely confirm family ties. The one of note that I found was Winston Churchill. I hope I can find out for sure one day.
My father in law and Don Cheadle are cousins and I’m related to the basketball player Kendrick Perkins. I’ve never met him and I’m not sure which side I’m related to but he was at a family reunion back when he was in high school and my mom got a picture with him because she said she just knew he was gonna become famous lol. Ironically, my husband’s son’s mother is also related to him but she’s related to his other side so she and I aren’t related.
Luis Fonsi is my 3rd cousin (Despacito song). Raul Julia (Gomez from Adam's Family) is my 4th cousin and Roselyn Sanchez and are cousins, too. Great grandparents are brother and sister.
Lilly & Alfie Allen are the children of British actor Keith Allen (who was in 'Trainspotting' amongst loads of other film and television work). Keith's brother Kevin is also an actor. And Angela Lansbury was not only the granddaughter of UK politician and opposition party leader Henry Lansbury (and she was at one time related to Peter Ustinov through marriage) but she was also the cousin of Oliver Postgate, a name that may sound familiar to a lot of older British viewers as he was the co-creator and writer of the fondly remembered 1950s, 60s and 70s BBC childrens TV shows ' The Clangers', 'Ivor the Engine', 'Noggin the Nog', and perhaps most famously 'Bagpuss'. She was also something like a third cousin to Australian ex-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Who would have thought Lily and Alfie were related? They only have the same last name, are both from the UK, and look a lot alike. 😏 Had no idea about Shirley McClain and Warren Beatty though.
First time seeing Warren Beatty was in Heaven Can Wait back in early 80's. Now a classic rom com. Showed it to my kids and they said it was similar to Chris Rock's Down To Earth.
Some other missed connections - Joan, Ann and John Cusack (siblings), John Austin (the original Gomez Addams) and Sean Austin - originally step father and stepson from the time Sean was 18 months old, then later John adopted Sean, and Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence are also distant cousins.
Jonah and Beanie look like siblings. Not much of a stretch. Also, celebrities with the same last name that isn't common, kind of a giveaway that they're related.
Peter Capaldi, of Dr. Who, is a second cousin of singer Lewis Capaldi. They didn't mention that the Coppola/Cage/Schwartzman family are nephews and niece to Francis Ford Coppola. Tom Cruise's real last name is Mapother. Jennifer Aniston is the daughter of long time Days of Our Lives star John Aniston.
I already knew about Denis Lawson and Ewan McGregor, I can't wrap my head around it, it's crazy!!!!! I love both of these actors and their characters in Star Wars. Ewan is my favorite actor in the world and Obi Wan is my favorite Star Wars character😁😁
For Snoop Dogg you should have gone with Sasha Banks. I don't care for her myself but that wasn't as well known as Brandy being his cousin. Y'all should do a wrestling family connection video though. Current pro wrestlers and their lesser known famous family members 👍
I am related to the Fonda family… Bridgette did a film in my home town & I got to meet the filmy crew but never had the chance to meet her personally… I am also a very distant relative to King Henry the viii.
My paternal great-grandma's first marriage was to a great uncle of 1982 Nobel Laureate in Literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. That means, my grandpa was half-brother to Garcia Marquez's 2nd cousin once removed. Just if you ask, no, I'm not related to Garcia Marquez.
You didn’t mention Sissy Spacek and the late Rip Torn. They were cousins, and he was the one who encouraged her to go into acting.
That one is especially interesting, amazing one. Such incredible people, but SO different from each other.
Very cool to hear loved him in cross creek
I would add to this list Rob Schneider who is Elle King’s dad

They starred together as father & son in Fools Rush In. 😉
I'm related, by marriage to Bootsy Collins. His wife is my Mom's cousin.

My grandma tracked our lineage back as well and found Winston Churchill. We just might be related.
Jason Sudekis & George Wendt. No surprise there. They r both fuckin' hilarious.
Lily has been called hot. No one ever calls Alfie hot.
never been so psyched for a youtube video
I am supposedly a descendant of Ragnar Lodbrock (Lothbrook) and Aslaug by way of Bjorn Ironside. If any watched the History Channel's show Vikings.
Great list! I’ve always wondered how many out there are related in some way, looks, background, etc., you should do more of these! 👍😊
My father in law and Don Cheadle are cousins and I’m related to the basketball player Kendrick Perkins. I’ve never met him and I’m not sure which side I’m related to but he was at a family reunion back when he was in high school and my mom got a picture with him because she said she just knew he was gonna become famous lol. Ironically, my husband’s son’s mother is also related to him but she’s related to his other side so she and I aren’t related.
Luis Fonsi is my 3rd cousin (Despacito song). Raul Julia (Gomez from Adam's Family) is my 4th cousin and Roselyn Sanchez and are cousins, too. Great grandparents are brother and sister.
I would love to see Warren and Shirley on stage together, even if just to present an award to someone else.
Same
Simon Bamford is my real uncle mostly known for his performance in the Hellraiser franchise🥰.
I've heard of about half a dozen of these people. Guess I'll go read a book.
Activist Gloria Steinem is actor Christian Bale's stepmom.
Snoop dog is also cousins with the WWE wrestler Sasha Banks. That’s one talented family
My husbands cousin is Ronny Cox from Robocop and Murder at 1600. They’ve never met unfortunately
Remember... Brandy has a famous brother..named Ray J!
Lilly & Alfie Allen are the children of British actor Keith Allen (who was in 'Trainspotting' amongst loads of other film and television work). Keith's brother Kevin is also an actor. And Angela Lansbury was not only the granddaughter of UK politician and opposition party leader Henry Lansbury (and she was at one time related to Peter Ustinov through marriage) but she was also the cousin of Oliver Postgate, a name that may sound familiar to a lot of older British viewers as he was the co-creator and writer of the fondly remembered 1950s, 60s and 70s BBC childrens TV shows ' The Clangers', 'Ivor the Engine', 'Noggin the Nog', and perhaps most famously 'Bagpuss'. She was also something like a third cousin to Australian ex-Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
So Jonah Hill just dropped his surname?
I think Skylar Astin did the same thing.
Yep. Skylar Astin Lipstein
Al Roker spoke at my college graduation in 2008. Cameron University, Lawton, Oklahoma
Lefty O'doul (Baseball Player) is my Great-Great Gramma's Cousin!
I knew all of these except Marisa Tomei and Julianne Moore. There are so many more that could be on the list that are blood relatives.
Who would have thought Lily and Alfie were related? They only have the same last name, are both from the UK, and look a lot alike. 😏
Had no idea about Shirley McClain and Warren Beatty though.
Must be a generational thing, I was thinking, "who doesn't know about Warren and Shirley?" But I'm old, lol.
I've known about it for decades
First time seeing Warren Beatty was in Heaven Can Wait back in early 80's. Now a classic rom com. Showed it to my kids and they said it was similar to Chris Rock's Down To Earth.
Some other missed connections - Joan, Ann and John Cusack (siblings), John Austin (the original Gomez Addams) and Sean Austin - originally step father and stepson from the time Sean was 18 months old, then later John adopted Sean, and Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence are also distant cousins.
The name is ASTIN. NOT “Austin”.
Laura Ashley Mouser, Anthony Parker Mouser and Mary Mouser were actor siblings.
Jonah and Beanie look like siblings. Not much of a stretch.
Also, celebrities with the same last name that isn't common, kind of a giveaway that they're related.
My Dad and Chris Tucker’s Dad were 1st cousins , RIP to them both 🙏🏽💕
My deep Condolences to you @Skitzafranik🙏🏿♥️❤️❤️
@@lindamagagula7476 thank you 💙🙏🏽
Peter Capaldi, of Dr. Who, is a second cousin of singer Lewis Capaldi.
They didn't mention that the Coppola/Cage/Schwartzman family are nephews and niece to Francis Ford Coppola.
Tom Cruise's real last name is Mapother.
Jennifer Aniston is the daughter of long time Days of Our Lives star John Aniston.
For older generations, Art Carney is great uncle to actor/singer Reeve Carney
I already knew about Denis Lawson and Ewan McGregor, I can't wrap my head around it, it's crazy!!!!! I love both of these actors and their characters in Star Wars. Ewan is my favorite actor in the world and Obi Wan is my favorite Star Wars character😁😁
Forgot eric and julie Roberts,Jake and maggie Gyllenhaal, Amy and chuck Schumer, Rip torn and sissy spacek,Gwyneth Paltrow and blythe danner
I am related to my parents
For Snoop Dogg you should have gone with Sasha Banks. I don't care for her myself but that wasn't as well known as Brandy being his cousin. Y'all should do a wrestling family connection video though. Current pro wrestlers and their lesser known famous family members 👍
I am related to the Fonda family… Bridgette did a film in my home town & I got to meet the filmy crew but never had the chance to meet her personally… I am also a very distant relative to King Henry the viii.
Laurie Metcalfe and Zoe Perry are mother and daughter. Both play Sheldon's mom, Laurie on Big Bang Theory and Zoe on Young Sheldon.
My paternal great-grandma's first marriage was to a great uncle of 1982 Nobel Laureate in Literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez. That means, my grandpa was half-brother to Garcia Marquez's 2nd cousin once removed.
Just if you ask, no, I'm not related to Garcia Marquez.
Never heard of half of them but still interesting video.
Jason and George was one that I didn't know. That one was pretty awesome to find out.
Strong facial resemblance.
