Can you believe these celebrity cousins?! If you could be related to any celebrity, who would it be and why?

Bernie Sanders: THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE!! Me: That's literally the most believable thing I've ever heard.

When John reached out to you with absolute joy and called you "brother!" Oh, I loved that! 💗

I have been a amateur genealogist for 25+ years. I think most people will be surprised to know how closely we are all related. 😳😁

"My brother!" That brought tears to my eyes.

I met John Lithgow once. He really is that kind guy. He does not have one ounce of ego or narcassism in him. He is a true gentleman.

I feel like Bill Hader had to flip when he realized he’s related to THE comedy legend Carol Burnett

I'm distantly related to Carrie Fisher via her mother, Debbie Reynolds. That's the coolest claim to fame I've got. 😂

My grandmother was never treated that well, and she thought she came from nothing. It's taken me years and years to finally find out that she came from the first king of England. I wish she was alive today to tell you you came from the best and you were the best.
