There are a lot of family trees running through Hollywood, but there are also a ton of celebrities who look similar without sharing any family ties at all. These kinds of connections can actually be pretty surprising.
Here are 15 pairs of celebs I was surprised to find out are related and 15 pairs I was surprised to find out aren't actually related:
5.
Brandy and Snoop Dogg are cousins .
6.
Katy Perry and Zooey Deschanel don't share any blood.
7.
Melissa McCarthy and Jenny McCarthy are cousins .
8.
Yet Mila Kunis and her mini me, Odeya Rush, aren't remotely related.
10.
Susan Sarandon and Sigourney Weaver might look related, but they aren't .
11.
Nicolas Cage and Sofia Coppola are actually cousins .
12.
And somehow, Lucy Hale and Selena Gomez aren't .
14.
Penélope Cruz and Salma Hayek are friends , but not family.
15.
Lily Collins is the daughter of Phil Collins.

Tatyana Ali and Gabrielle Union were great as costars in The Brothers , but they're not related in any way, shape, or form.

Denzel Washington is the father of John David Washington.
18.
Emma Mackey and Margot Robbie might look alike, but they're not related.
19.
