Identical Men Get DNA Test and Learn Shocking News

Have you ever thought how cool it might be to find your look-alike? Many people believe that each person has someone in the world who looks just like them. They’re called doppelgangers. In fact, they’re biologically unrelated, but they appear as their physical double. They’re often considered “evil twins” or an omen of bad luck in movies and films.

It’s actually quite amazing to think that someone else in the world looks just like you, and you may not even know about it. However, two men got a shock when they learned that they had the same appearance, hobbies, and name, even though they weren’t related!

Look in the Mirror

The men looked nervously at each other while they awaited the DNA results. Both men were named Brady Feigl and looked the same. However, they’d never met each other. Did their parents neglect to tell them something about their past?!

Brady 1

One Brady Feigl loved baseball and was born in Dallas, Texas. Let’s just refer to him as Brady 1 to keep things simplified. Throughout his school years, he enjoyed athletics and got straight A’s. He knew his mother was proud of him, but now he wondered if she had been hiding something!

Brady 2

Brady 2 had been born in Houston, Texas, and also loved baseball as a child. Though he was adopted, his parents loved him. He was a class clown in school and wondered if he had ever had siblings. He knew he should soon have answers when he found out about Brady 1.

A Mutual Passion

Both boys enjoyed baseball, playing throughout their teen years. Brady 2 chose to study accounting in college, but Brady 1 went into political science studies. They got good marks but never moved away from baseball. In fact, they met for the first time when they got onto the baseball team, Texas Rangers Arlington.

Identical

When the coach saw them, he laughed. However, he couldn’t tell the men apart, causing problems. On top of that, they had similar names, so they’d always show together when he called one. Finally, he did something that shocked them.

No Coincidence

The coach was upset because of the confusion during practices and games, so he told them to see if they were related. Both Brady men wondered if it was a coincidence that they looked alike and had the same exact name.

Jokes

Their beloved baseball team liked joking with the redheaded twins. Often, they referred to them as George and Fred (the Weasley twins from the Harry Potter series). Brady 2 was the class clown and decided to play along, but then things got serious.

Close for Comfort

The teammates continued with the ribbing and jokes, but it made the Brady men uncomfortable. They wondered if they were related. After a teammate said they must have had the same mother, they realized the truth had to come out!

Long-Lost Brothers

They sat down, talking about being brothers or twins. Since they were the same height, wore glasses, and had a similar sense of humor, that wasn’t too far-fetched. However, Brady 2’s eyes were blue, and Brady 1’s eyes were hazel. When they got a chance to have a DNA test, they were excited!

No End to the Similarities

Inside Edition learned of the male doppelgangers in 2018 and arranged to get an interview. The Brady men both said they had an elbow surgery, and the same doctor performed them. That’s how they finally learned about each other.

The Same Procedure

Overall, Dr. Dave Andrews was highly confused at the time. He called Brady 2, expecting to discuss the upcoming surgery with Brady 1. In the interview, Brady 2 said that he learned about his doppelganger from the doctor’s office.

Being Famous

Brady 2 claimed that the doctor’s office called his team’s trainer to ask where he was because he should be in surgery. However, Brady 2 had already had the procedure six months ago. When the story first aired about the men, people lost their minds!

Cause a Stir

Everyone knew about the Brady men and their similarities. Brady 2 claimed to get constant phone notifications, making him turn off his smartphone for hours just to get peace. The buzz on social media continued, and people said they were related or long-lost twins.

Fans Help

These two players were instant fan favorites for the team because of the interview. In fact, the two Brady men became obsessed about the possibility of being related, so they set up a Kickstarter fundraiser to get a DNA test. When they reached that number, they agreed to do it!

The Moment of Truth

The two Brady men created a big stir, so Inside Edition interviewed them again in a follow-up segment. With cameras rolling, they put saliva samples into test tubes, sealing them to be sent to the lab!

German Ancestry

One of the Brady men said he had gone to Ellis Island for information. The Fiegl’s had moved to America from Germany, so they could have had German ancestry. However, this information caused more confusion without giving them the truth they needed.

The Results

Both Brady men provided samples, sending them away for analysis. This could be a life-changing moment, and they wanted to know if the rumors were true; were they separated twins? They were nervous when the results came since they had so many similarities.

The DNA Test

As they looked through the DNA ancestry information, one Brady claimed that he saw his top result, and that made the other man shocked. Both Feigl men had Germanic ancestry of 53 percent, which is where their surname originated. Were they twins, though?!

Differences

Overall, the similarities stopped at Germanic ancestry. Brady 1 was also 10 percent Irish/Scottish, and Brady 2 was two percent Irish/Scottish. Therefore, they couldn’t be twins. Even though they weren’t related, they were still connected!

Forever Connection

Through the years, these men became friends, continuing to use those Fred and George nicknames. The coach does it, too, allowing him to tell the men apart. Overall, the DNA test experience bonded them and made them stronger. Still, they aren’t the only people with doppelgangers.

Shannon Lonergan and Sara Nordstroem

Shannon was living in Ireland when she noticed that she looked just like Sara in Sweden. While the two women weren’t related, one genetic expert learned that they had facial feature similarities of 90 percent!

Karen, Louisa, Irene, and Niamh Geaney

Niamh Geany was living in Ireland when she found three look-alikes. Irene and Karen are in Ireland, as well, but Louisa lived in Italy. She said it was “cool,” but it was also strange because she no longer thought of herself as unique.

John Jemison and Neil Richardson

These two men look alike and behave similarly, as well. Neil realized something was off when the shop owners continued making him prove his identity. Finally, both men met at a history tour. They liked poetry, attended the same college, and met/proposed to their wives in just two weeks.

Though random people do have doppelgangers, celebrities can, too. Sometimes, two celebrities look exactly alike. Jaime has been working longer than Margot, but people mistake them for the other all the time!

Minka and Leighton both have almond-shaped eyes and brunette hair, so they look similar. While they’ve never been paired on a set as sisters, both women were in The Roommate. Could you tell them apart?!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Javier Bardem

For years, fans have confused these two men. They aren’t the same person, nor are they related. However, it’s not your fault if you’ve got to check movie credits to see who you watched for two hours because they look very much alike!
