Then And Now: 10 Sets Of Siblings That Were Child Stars

Some celebrity siblings are similar to us since they were kids. Whether or not fans are aware of the familiarity, these well-known duo (and one trio) shared bunk beds and toilets growing up and now share the Hollywood spotlight. After co-starring successfully, they each decided to pursue a different career. For example, fashion moguls Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen completely stopped acting and gain success in another field.
Others, like Elle and Dakota Fanning, are still successful in acting or performing together. Dylan and Cole Sprouse are also worth mentioning. After taking a break, both Dylan and Cole, who turns 30 on August 4, got back into acting.
