The one where Emma grows up and stars in Jordan Peele's latest, terrifying blockbuster.



Remember the twins, Becca and Lindsey, in Us? They're played by real-life 16-year-old California twins Cali and Noelle Sheldon. The girls attend attend high school in Manhattan Beach, where Cali is on the wrestling team.

We don't want to give anything away for those who haven't seen the film (you should! It's really good! Though we did have some questions about the plot), so we won't go into details about their characters. All you need to know is they play the spunky twin daughters of Elisabeth Moss's character, Kitty, and can turn a mad cartwheel.

The girls have starred in a handful of short films over the years and, as it turns out, have one major television acting credit. They're famous for playing an iconic character on Friends: Emma.

In later seasons of the show, Ross and Rachel's adorable baby daughter Emma is portrayed by the Sheldon twins. Shows often hire twin actors to play the role of a young child, just like Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen shared the role of Michelle Tanner in Full House.

The girls appeared in eight episodes of Friends from 2003 to 2004. Since then, they've starred in the TV series Life as well as the short films Winner, Agorable, Maxwell, and Rougarou.

The film is directed by Peele and stars Lupita Nyong’o and Winston Duke, along with Moss.

Noelle told her high school's newspaper that she felt star-struck on set. “I never really thought I could meet people like [Nyong’o, Duke, and Moss] so it was a really cool experience,” she said. “I didn’t want to mess up because they were watching so it was stressful, but in a good way.”

“Everyone there was super friendly, and Jordan Peele was insanely nice and he is an actual genius,” Cali told the newspaper. “To see him work was really cool, [and] he was super nice to us and he [was] just like a regular guy trying to make us feel comfortable.

“I actually thought that I did not want to be an actress before we got the parts," she added, "because I thought it would be too much work, but seeing all of those [actors on set] as just regular people inspired me."

As it turns out, the Sheldon twins aren't the only Friends connection the movie has. Their father, Josh (Tim Heidecker), has a tattoo of the twins on his arm in the movie. According to ET, the template for the tattoo is from a photo taken during their time playing Emma on Friends.
