Celebrities who live in their famous sibling’s shadow: If you grew up with a brother or a sister, you know that while of course you wish them the best, there’s always going to be a tiny bit of competition between the two of you. Your parents would never admit it, but they’ve always had a slight favorite, and it’s kind of impossible not to compare your accomplishments (or failures) to each other’s.

But imagine being in the already super competitive world of show business and having to live up to your famous sibling’s success? That’s a little more pressure.
Making it in show business isn’t easy for anyone, and most people who set out to do it never become the level of famous that most of the celebrities on this list have. On one hand, it would be nice to have a sibling in the business who already has connections and can vouch for you, but on the other hand, one of you is bound to be a little more successful than the other.
Sibling rivalries for celebrities is even more extreme, because not only will it be their families scrutinizing their every move, but the entire world will have that urge to compare them to their sibling as well. Here are 10 celebrities who will probably never get out from under their famous sibling’s shadow.
10. Maggie Gyllenhaal
Although both Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal made their splash in Hollywood in the indie film, Donnie Darko, it was Jake who got most of the attention. He became a Hollywood heartthrob and although Maggie’s work has been praised by critics (she recently won a Golden Globe for her role in the TV miniseries An Honorable Woman), she’s never quite made it to A-list status.
While both Jake and Maggie have received critical acclaim for their roles, Jake seems to be the one that stands out more, in part because of the extreme physical transformations he goes through for his roles.
