Are these brothers twins ?


They look so much alike - are they twins ?

reply

Yes

Really? Must be fraternal. They definitely look like brothers, but I never thought twins. Jonathan is way hotter. :) (imo)

Even though twins may be identical twins, there can be differences between them, especially as they get older.

Drew and Jonathan's voices sound exactly the same though. I can't tell which one is talking if they're off screen.

Weird! Their bios say identical! I don't think they are at all identical! Not just the hair, either. Their faces look so different.

reply

Actually, I didn't think they looked that much alike until I saw an episode where the blond one had his hair dark, then I couldn't really tell them apart!

I've seen episodes when Jonathan's hair is dark too, but I still think they don't look like twins. The only time I've ever thought they could be was in one of the still picture promos, and even then it was easy to tell them apart.

Twins are so interesting.

Tia and Tamera Mowry are identical twins, yet I think they look nothing alike. I mean, they look like sisters, but I would NEVER confuse them. (Same as Drew and Jonathan.)

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, however, are fraternal twins, yet back in their day, I could hardly tell them apart. Only when I'd been watching their shows and movies for a long time could I begin to detect subtle differences. They look pretty different now, at least the last time I saw them, but they sure looked alike back then.

I think they look too much alike. They freak me out!

reply

Omg, yes! I could always tell Tia and Tamara apart (Tamara's face is pudgier, for one) but they're identical. Yet I could never tell the Olson twins apart when they were younger and was floored to learn they're fraternal!

Anyway, I could definitely tell the property brothers are identical. They look exactly alike. The only way to tell them apart is the hair. Maybe that's what's throwing you. Also, Drew is just a bit slimmer.

Twins are interesting. I went to high school with 4 sets of twins. 1 set were fraternal twins and I could never tell them apart unless they wrote (one was left handed, one was right) and I knew them for years! Another set was identical and you instantly knew who was who. My cousins are also identical twins, but you know who it is as well.

What determines what kind of twin it is depends on the eggs. Identical come from one egg that splits. Fraternal is 2 eggs and for those who are fraternal twins, their grandchildren have a greater chance of bearing twins than those who were identical . My grandma was a fraternal twin and my cousin on her side just had fraternal as well, so since I might have them as well, I have obtained much information on it! :)

reply

The brothers are identical twins; Mirror twins actually - Drew is left handed and Jonathan is right handed. The only other real difference is Jonathan's suave hair :)

reply

Jonathan is much hotter...sigh, i'd marry him and let him build me a dream house! :)

reply

Best comment ever. He is so the hot one.

Jonathan is also built bulkier—probably from the physical labor—and has a slightly broader, squarer face. Many genetically identical twins vary in appearance as a result of things that happen while they are developing in the womb.

I went to school with many pairs of identical twins, and in one pair, they were easy to tell apart; however, their 2-years-younger brother looked exactly like one of the twins.

Also, Jonathan has a much bigger personality.

If I wanted an avatar, I'd have had one by now.

they probably change there looks so people could tell somewhat of difference between them. not all twins get same haircut some look

reply

I thought it was pretty obvious that they are identical. Drew has darker hair and either he dyes his or Jonathan lightens his (I'm guessing Jonathan lightens). Drew is also clean shaven whereas Jonathan has a bit of stubble. Drew also dresses in nicer clothes (probably since he's the realtor) and Jonathan dresses more like a contractor. I'm pretty sure if they got their hair color to be the same and had identical facial hair going on or both were clean shaven and put them in identical clothes that it would be harder to tell the two apart.

They did an episode in Texas with a client and her identical twin sister. The women kept messing with Jonathan by switching nametags and misidentifying themselves, so Jonathan and Drew dressed identically—and it looked as if Jonathan darkened his hair a bit—and pulled a switcheroo on the sisters. It was much more obvious that they were identical twins when they pulled that stunt although Drew is still slimmer with a narrower face than Jonathan.

Yes they are definitely identical that is for sure it's just very easy to tell them apart since Drew is much slimmer than Jonathan and they have different hair styles. I dig the Jonathan look much more the plaid contractor look with his luxurious hair with the highlights is so adorbs.
