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.

One person wrote: "Now I know why he looks so familiar. Never thought they were brothers."

Another commented: "This is brand new information."

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

As well as Legally Blonde and Look Both Ways, he's also featured in the likes of Charlie's Angels, Anchorman and Blades of Glory.

And in fact, they aren't the only famous bros in the family - their other brother is also an actor.
