Kuiper Koch rose to fame after starring in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters: The Story of Lyle and Erik Menendez and has been making waves on the internet ever since, simply by being his charming and charismatic self. This year, the 28-year-old set the internet on fire when fans learned he didn’t use a prosthetic in his steamy shower scene in Monsters– and there wasn’t even any physical contact involved. Suffice to say, Cooper’s viral moment owes a lot to good genetics. But here’s the fun twist: Cooper has fraternal twins. And yes, he is just as blessed on the genetics front. Oh, and did we mention that already? He’s also gay. Thank heavens!

Meet Cooper’s fraternal twin brother, Payton Kochwho also makes his mark in Hollywood. The twist? Despite looking equally stunning, Payton works like one behind the scenes film editor. And the Hollywood flair doesn’t stop there: Cooper and Payton have a third brother or sister who is a musician, Walker Koch. Not surprising when you consider that their grandfather is Hawk Kochthe film producer behind hits like Very Good Girls, Source Code, Norman, And The beautician and the beastamong many others. It’s safe to say that talent runs deep in this family!

If you’re wondering if Payton and Cooper are close: yes, they are. The Monsters actor can often be seen on Payton’s page, where the playful and close bond of the two is emphasized through beautifully and candidly taken photos.
