Elle & Dakota Fanning and Kate Middleton
Hollywood is full of famous family pairs like siblings Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal or parent-child duos like Goldie Hawn and Kate Hudson. These are the celebrity kids we've watched grow up to be famous themselves.
But Hollywood is full of secrets, and we bet you had no idea these celebrities were related. Check out our gallery and see if you knew about these randomly related celebrities.
Researchers at Ancestry.com, found out that the Dakota siblings are possibly related to British royalty after looking over seven centuries of family trees. The site found that the two sisters are descendants of King Edward III, who ruled England in the 14th century, through their mother, retired professional tennis player Heather Joy (née Arrington).
Denis Leary and Conan O'Brien
That means, if 16-year-old Elle and 20-year-old Dakota really are descended from the monarch then they, in fact, are distant relatives of British royalty, making them related to Kate Middleton.
While it may be a stretch, this actor and talk show host are third cousins. They look so much alike we thought they were at least first cousins.
Jason Sudeikis and George Wendt
Maybe it's the hair color that makes them look alike.
This Saturday Night Live legend is actually the nephew of 'Cheers' actor George Wendt. “He was just a good example that being an actor was a viable option.
Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci
Here’s a guy from the Midwest, in my family, who took the road less traveled and it worked out for him,” Sudeikis told reporters. “The advice he gave me, and I say this jokingly, is 'Get on one of the best sitcoms of all time and then ride it out.’”
Stanley Tucci is married to Emily's sister, Felicity, which makes these two actors, who starred together in The Devil Wears Prada, in-laws. They like to frequently joke about they being related.
Bonnie Bedelia and Macaulay Culkin
"I can't believe you slept with my wife!" Stanley Tucci joked with sister-in-law Emily Blunt as they presented an award together at the BAFTAs.

Hugh Grant and Thomas Sangster
Her brother, Kit Culkin, is Macaulay's father.
Game Of Thrones star Thomas Brodie-Sangster is the second cousin of Hugh Grant, star of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Love Actually. Hugh, coincidentally, is in the blood line of both Henry VII, and James IV of Scotland.
Billy Bush and George Bush
This probably means he’s very distantly related to the Fiennes boys too.
TV personality Billy Bush got into some heat when tapes were released when Donald Trump was speaking profanity about women to him. But regardless of his controversy, Billy Bush is the cousin of former president George W. Bush, which also makes him the nephew of another former president, George H.

Lea Thompson, who is best-known for her roles in Back to the Future and Caroline in the City, is Deutch's mom. Deutch stars in the just-released Everybody Wants Some.
Jenny McCarthy and Melissa McCarthy
Because they have different last names, it might be hard to tell that they're related, but when you see them side by side, it seems pretty obvious that these two share genetics.
While these two may not look alike, the two are actually cousins. Melissa even made her acting debut in 1997 on Jenny's TV show, The Jenny McCarthy Show.
Sean Astin and Patty Duke

NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal and comedian Bill Bellamy are second cousins who have actually been keeping in touch for years. Both of them are known for their positive attitude, which seems to be a characteristic that runs in the family.
Tom Cruise and William Mapother
The two must have a few standing jokes between them that we're so curious to hear.
Ethan Hawke and Tennessee Williams
The incredibly famous playwright Tennessee Williams is surprisingly Ethan Hawke's great uncle. Success must bleed through this family tree because the family has a laundry list of actors in its lineage.
These first cousins not only share the same family tree but also screen time. Cruise and Mapother, who's best known for his role on the TV series 'Lost', have appeared together in Mission: Impossible II, Minority Report, Vanilla Sky and Magnolia.

Unfortunately, Tug died in 2004 and could no longer be present at his son's concerts in person, but many would like to think that he is there in spirit.
