Fans may be shocked to hear that Cameron Crovetti, the actor who plays Homelander’s son, has an identical twin. Having twins in the film industry, especially if they are identical, is not uncommon. However, fans are not always aware that a beloved character has a real-life counterpart. From James and Oliver Phelps of the Harry Potter films to Rami and Sami Malik, one of whom is an Oscar-winning actor and the other a teacher.
Fans usually get to know about twins when both are in the entertainment industry. Like the Olsen twins or the Sprouse twins. But when one is considerably more famous than the other, it sometimes gets lost in the wind that they are part of a pair. And that is what has happened with a The Boys star.

While sometimes a pair of twins are both in the movie business, in other cases, one of them comes on screen to play different characters, and the other goes to public school. That is exactly the case with The Boys actor Cameron Crovetti, who plays the role of Ryan – Homelander’s son. He has a twin brother – Nicholas, who although has also pursued acting avenues, is considerably less popular. During an interview with his brother (via Instagram), Cameron said:
“We actually just finished the first quarter of the year. But he is doing Public School and I’m actually shooting season 4 of The Boys. So, I’m kind of doing a homeschool program in Toronto. “
While it is Cameron who plays Ryan, Homelander’s son, his brother Nicholas has joined in as his stand-in a few times so far. Both are actors, having worked together on different projects, but with Cameron’s stint with The Boys, he has become a lot more popular.

The Crovetti twins – Cameron and Nicholas have worked on quite a few projects – both together as well as individually. From the Emmy Award-winning show Big Little Lies to the dystopian action comedy movie, Boy Kills World, the twin boys have been part of the industry before they had even hit 10 years of age. Born to artist parents and having an older sister, who is also an actress, they found interest in the world of showbiz pretty early on in life.

The brothers also collaborated on the psychological horror film Goodnight Mommy. They played alongside Naomi Watts in this version of the Austrian film of the same name. Unfortunately, the 2022 film underperformed at the box office, earning only 37% on Rotten Tomatoes. Cameron has joined the main cast of The Boys Season 4, with his twin brother serving as a stand-in for some parts.
