Identical Twins Go Viral For Speaking In Unison During Bizarre Interview

Bridgette and Paula Powers
7News Queensland

Bridgette and Paula Powers, identical twins from Australia, were speaking to 7News Queensland about a recent carjacking—but their unusual method of speaking in unison is what caught people's attention.

As if the play-by-play details of a carjacking aren't alarming enough, imagine hearing them twice—simultaneously.

Australian identical twins Bridgette and Paula Powers shared their eyewitness account of a carjacking that involved their mother, another man, and a car thief.


A local reporter interviewed the twins, and the clip went viral when viewers saw how the twins presented alike and spoke in unison.

In the recounting of the events, Bridgette and Paula reflected:

"One guy, he was up there with our mom. He went up there, and he was coming back down toward us. And he goes, 'Run! He's got a gun!'"
"Oh, our hearts started to pound. I said, 'Mom, where's Mom?'"
"Mom distracted him [the thief] to make him look the other way. Mom ran into the bush behind the fence, and the guy goes to her, 'I'll find you and I'll shoot you.'"
"All I was thinking about when I was running was, I hope he doesn't find her."

The pair spoke nearly verbatim until their last sentence, when one said they "ran for their life," and the other said they "ran for their safety."

You can watch them recount what happened here:

Though the reporter spent the first 20 seconds setting up the segment, some viewers were not prepared.





Back in 2021 in an interview with ABC News, Bridgette and Paula explained what it was like to speak in unison, and they acknowledged that while some people found it "annoying" and "weird," it was natural for them.

"Our special [relationship] is like a magnet."
"It's natural. Our brains must think alike at the same time. It's weird to some, and we do annoy a lot of people, but [changing our speech] doesn't feel right to us at all."
"We did try [changing our outfits, too] once, but we still got stared at. So what the heck. We might as well wear the same clothes again."

Some viewers who knew about the twins before the carjacking were grateful they were okay.





The twins had to drop out of high school in the tenth grade due to health reasons, and continued to study at home to graduate. With extra time on their hands, the pair began to focus on the conservation efforts they both wanted to pursue.

They had the unique opportunity of meeting the late and great Steve Irwin when the three of them came together to save a sick green sea turtle. They went on to work at the Australia Zoo, and developed the Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue, which has since been in operation for 20 years.

While those who do not know them might find their "in-sync" appearances and speech patterns to be eerie, those who know "the Twinnies" in Australia were grateful that they were safe and could help resolve the carjacking situation.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
