According to We’ve got this coveredthe televisionprogramme Finding your roots revealed that Julia Roberts and Edward Norton they are family.

The ninth season of the series PBS aired on Tuesday (3), and a test revealed that the actors share similar DNA, likely from a distant relative. Announcer Henry Louis Gates Jr. stated:

“You and Ed share a long identical stretch of DNA on your ninth chromosome. That means you both inherited this shared DNA from a distant ancestor somewhere in the middle of your family tree.”

Roberts and Norton were shocked to discover this connection. However, Norton had one complaint in particular. Feigning indignation, he joked, “How come I didn’t get teeth and a smile?”

Although both started their careers in New York City around the same time, Roberts was born in Georgia, while Norton was born in Boston, Massachusetts. They never worked together, despite being two of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors.
