A load of Owen Wilson fans were shocked to discover that he has a famous brother.

The actor is known and loved for films such as Zoolander, Starsky & Hutch and Wedding Crashers, but he's not the only Wilson to star on the big screen.

Diehard Wilson fans would know this, but many people are only just discovering that a familiar face is in fact his brother.

Check it out here:

TikToker Jemma McCarthy was shocked to learn that actor Luke Wilson is in fact his younger brother, and she posted a video about the discovery to see if she was the only one to be stunned by this revelation.

Captioning a short clip, she wrote: "TELL ME IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT JUST CLOCKED!?!?

"Luke Wilson from Legally Blonde n Look Both Ways is bros with the legend Owen Wilson.. guess the name gives it away."

Based on the comments - and the fact the video has been viewed 1.9 million times - it seems Jemma was not alone.

Yes, 51-year-old Luke is the younger brother of Owen, who is 53.
