22. Jared Leto With His Brother Shannon

Jared Leto is a household name, and he has his prolific career in acting to credit for that. The actor has appeared in The Thin Red Line, Requiem for a Dream and Lonely Hearts. He first gained recognition, however, with the movie Prefontaine. His portrayal of a transgender woman in Dallas Buyer’s Club earned him the respect of the LGBT community, as well as a Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award, and an Academy Award.

While most people recognize Jared for his acting and musical career, only a few know that his older sibling Shannon has been very supportive of his music ventures. Shannon is a force in the industry himself, having been part of the rock band Thirty Seconds to Marks. The band released their first album, 20 Seconds to Mars, in 2002, which met positive acclaim, but only limited success. The following releases, fortunately, were all commercial successes.
