Despite their active years in the entertainment industry, people are only just realising that Jonah Hill and Beanie Feldstein are related.
Hollywood is surprisingly not short of sibling duos - what with the likes of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal both being in the limelight, as well as Dakota and Elle Fanning and the Olsen twins.
However, the tie between Hill and Feldstein is still a shock to some film and theatre fans.
Of course, Hill, 39, is the older brother of the Booksmart actor, who is nine years his junior.

The pair also had an older brother named Jordan Feldstein, who died suddenly at the age of 40 from a blood clot that originated in his leg.
Despite actually having the same surname as Feldstein, 30, the Superbad star opts to use his middle name while filming.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share the sibling revelation with others, one user said: “Who was going to tell me that Jonah Hill was Beanie Feldstein’s brother??”

Another said: “The biggest surprise of the Jonah Hill saga is me somehow not knowing he is Beanie Feldstein's brother yet.”
A third commented: “Please, I need a minute I have just learned Beanie Feldstein and Jonah Hill are siblings.”
While the American Crime Story star having Hill as her older brother may be surprising to many, it’s not as if the pair have been keeping their dynamic a secret.
Last year, Feldstein opened up about Hill in an intimate cover interview with The Cut.

“He's my best friend. We are very close,” she said. “And we lost our brother, so we have a very, very deep connection, and he's like one of the most important people in my whole life, and being his sister is like my greatest joy."
Elsewhere in the interview, the Funny Girl actor said she was ‘lucky’ to have her brother’s career guidance.
“I feel so lucky to have him and his expertise and his guidance.

"And I think he's such a tremendous writer and director, and he's just very creative and wonderful.
And I feel so lucky, but I’ve just always kind of been on my own path, and I get to go on that next to him.”
Back in 2018, the actor also publicly (and personally) pledged his allegiance to his younger sister by getting a tattoo in her honour.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, he snapped a picture of his forearm which was emblazoned with the phrase ‘Hello, Dolly!’
The tribute was a nod to Feldstein’s first Broadway role as Minnie Fay in the Bette Middler-led musical, Hello Dolly!
