(#8) Gary Oldman and Matthew McConaughey
Movie: Tiptoes
Relationship: Brothers
Under normal circumstances these two actors could possibly pass for being related somehow. Tiptoes is not what one would call normal circumstances; Gary Oldman portrays Matthew McConaughey's little person brother in a film that has been so generally reviled that every major actor involved has tried to sweep it under the rug.

(#15) Toni Collette and Steve Carell
Movie: Little Miss Sunshine
Relationship: Siblings
Honestly about the only physical similarity these two share is the fact that they're both white. Toni Collette is a slender, blonde woman while Carell is a dark haired man with a considerably stockier frame.

(#11) Elizabeth Banks and Paul Rudd
Movie: Our Idiot Brother
Relationship: Siblings
Rudd and Banks have played lovers before, in films such as Role Models and Wet Hot American Summer, which works considerably better because they share very few physical attributes. Rudd bears a much stronger resemblance to Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer, who also play his sisters in Our Idiot Brother.

(#12) Katie Cassidy and Caity Lotz
Series: Arrow
The debate rages over which of these ladies is the bigger badass on The CW's Arrow, but the fact remains that they barely resemble each other at all. Cassidy has a darker complexion, naturally darker hair, and a much more slender frame. On the other hand, Lotz has pale skin, blonde hair, freckles, and a much stronger, more muscular frame.
Relationship: Sisters

(#10) Charlize Theron and Corey Stoll
Movie: Dark Places
Relationship: Siblings
In Dark Places, Stoll portrays Theron's long-imprisoned older brother, despite the fact that he is actually one year her junior. There isn't much else to say about this pair, aside from the fact that they simply never look like they are related at any point throughout the film.

(#18) Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus
Series: The Walking Dead
Relationship: Brothers
Both Michael Rooker and Norman Reedus completely inhabited their respective roles as Merle and Daryl Dixon, however at face value it always felt a little difficult to accept that these men were related because they simply don't look like brothers at all.
