Fans of model-turned-actor **Cooper Koch**, who steamed up screens with his portray of Erik Menendez in Netflix film *Monsters*, have been thirsting on social media after it was discovered he has a paternal twin, **Payton Koch**, who also happens to be gay.

Before *Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story*, Cooper also starred in queer conversion thriller *They/Them* as well as playing an aspiring gay porn star in horror film *Swallowed*.

Whilst he has taken up the lion’s share of fame, his twin brother Payton has also been working on some of the biggest hits on television, behind the scenes as a film editor.

Some of his biggest credits include working with **Ryan Murphy** on *American Horror Story* and *Ratched*. Most recently he also received an Emmy nomination for his work on *Only Murders In The Building*.

Despite the pair leading careers on opposite sides of the camera, they still appear to be quite close, with the pair appearing frequently on Payton’s social media.

Cooper however does not even have an Instagram account (which may be why fans were slower to realise he had a twin brother). Speaking to **Drew Barrymore** the star revealed that is was just “better for \[his\] mental health” not to use social media.
