6. Al Roker & Lenny Kravitz
If Lenny Kravitz wants to “get away,” then his cousin Al Roker can let him know what the weather forecast is looking like. It turns out that their grandfathers were cousins, which makes the singer and the newscaster related! Al actually spoke about his relation to Lenny on NBC’s Today Show in 2011. Al explained that he and Lenny share the same last name thanks to their grandfathers. Plus, being related to Lenny Kravitz is “cool,” as Al simply puts it. In case you were wondering, Lenny gave his personal OK about this as well. Lenny said that his grandfather was Albert Roker, and his mom was Roxie Roker. So there you have it! So does that mean that Lenny’s daughter Zoe Kravitz is related to Al Roker as well? We guess so. The 27-year-old actress, singer, and model can boast about that, if she wants. But she probably doesn’t want to.
5. Lily Allen & Alfie Allen
Did you know that Lily Allen actually wrote a song about her brother, Alfie? It’s called – get this – “Alfie,” and the lyrics description the brother-sister relationship. Actually, it’s sort of a depressing song about how Alfie struggled with weed and would waste the days away just smoking and watching TV. “Oh I only say it cos I care / So please can you stop pulling my hair / Now, now there’s no need to swear / Please don’t despair my dear mon frere.” To be fair, Alfie has gotten his act together…by acting. You might recognize him as the guy who played Theon Greyjoy on Game of Thrones. Yup, that was Lily Allen’s brother! Lily may have been jealous of Alfie’s new gig, because she started a rumor that she was offered the role of Yara Greyjoy (she wasn’t.) That caused Alfie to ban Lily from talking about Game of Thrones at all.
