Actors who could play/could've played relatives (please contribute)

Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    Actors who could play/could've played relatives (please contribute)
    Here are the ones I think of:

    Kurt Russell + Viggo Mortensen = Brothers... no... CLONES.





    Matt Damon + Mark Wahlberg = Brothers





    Matt Damon/Mark Wahlberg + Kevin Bacon = Father and sons



    Jodie Foster + Helen Hunt = Sisters





    Helen Hunt + Leelee Sobieski = Mother and daughter



    Chevy Chase + Will Ferrell = Father and son, without a doubt.





    Robert Downey Jr. + That bloke from Emmerdale + J.D. from Scrubs' brother = Brothers







    George Wendt + John Goodman = Brothers.





    Alfred Molina + That bloke from Scrubs = Brothers





    Ed Norton + Josh Stewart = Brothers





    Ed Norton/Josh Stewart + Kevin Spacey = Father and sons



    Ed Norton/Josh Stewart/Kevin Spacey + Robert Lindsay = Uncle and brother to the other lot



    Thin Jonah Hill + Drew Carey = Father and Son





    Randy Couture + Jason Statham = Cousins (part-way through The Expendables, I forgot Couture was in it and thought I was still watching Statham)



    Lauren Bacall + Laura Prepon = Mother and daughter





    Bacall today:



    Made In Dagenham's Sally Hawkins + Dagenham's Stacey Solomon = Sisters (I know Stacey's not an actor, but 'Made In Dagenham'? On a plate.)





    I mean...



    Carrie Fisher + Jessica Hecht + Alanis Morissette (hey, she played GOD) + Hilary S**** + Jane Leeves = Some combination of mother/daughter/sister











    I know there was another film I saw that I truly thought was starring someone else. Shame I can't remember it.

    NOW YOU.

    Does anyone know of a male/female combination?

    Elijah Wood Daniel Radcliffe and Tobey Macguire could play brothers. In fact you could probably stick Jake Gyllenhaal in there as well.

    Ah, beaten to it. Natalie Portman and Keira Knightly do look very similar.
