Forget the Menendez Brothers; 'Monsters' Star Cooper Koch Has an Equally Hot Twin
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Out actor Cooper Koch's star has been rising faster since his breakout performance on Ryan Murphy's "Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story." But don't let that infamous fraternal duo cause you to overlook another brotherly bond – namely, Cooper has an identical twin, Payton Cooper, an acclaimed editor who, like Cooper, is gay.
"While Cooper is known for his on-screen roles, Payton works on the other side of the camera as a picture editor with a range of post-production credits," Pink News detailed.
"These include two Ryan Murphy projects, 'American Horror Story' and 'Ratched.' He has also worked on the Selena Gomez comedy-mystery series 'Only Murders in the Building,' for which he was Emmy-nominated earlier this year."
Pink News noted that the twins – who also have another brother, Walker – "frequently appear on each other's Instagram accounts and other social media, with Payton sharing a picture of the pair in 2023 with the caption: 'Happy Pride from your favorite gay twins.'"
Check out some of Payton's other hot IG posts.
