3. Justin Bieber, Ryan Gosling, Celine Dion, and Avril Lavigne
Justin Bieber. The name alone stirs up mixed opionions throughout the world. You either love him or you hate him. However for actor Ryan Gosling, Grammy award winning singer Celine Dion, and punk-rocker Avril Lavigne, it looks like they have no choice but to love him, because, well, he’s family now.
All four Canadians have ancestral ties from over 400 years ago. The ‘Biebs’ and Dion are 10th cousins, three times removed through French emigre Jacques Vezina and Marie Boisdon, a French coupe born in the early 1600’s. Bieber, Gosling and Lavigne, have ties back to Mathurin Roy and Marguerite Bire, a couple born in France back in the 1600s. Now, teenagers can fall even more in love knowing their crushes Gosling and Bieber are 11th cousins, once removed. Last but not least, the teen idol is also 12thcousin of singer Avril Lavigne.
