Freddie Highmore, the talented British actor best known for his roles in The Good Doctor and Bates Motel, has often sparked curiosity among fans about whether he has a twin brother. With his symmetrical features and the uncanny ability to portray complex characters, some viewers have wondered if there are actually two Highmores in Hollywood. However, the truth is that Freddie Highmore does not have a twin brother—he has a younger brother named Bertie Highmore.
Bertie, born in 1995, is not as widely known as his older brother, as he has largely stayed out of the spotlight. Unlike Freddie, who began acting at a young age and built a successful career in film and television, Bertie has pursued a different path outside of Hollywood. Despite their different career choices, the brothers share a strong bond and a striking resemblance, which has contributed to the twin rumors.
Highmore himself has never publicly addressed any confusion about having a twin, but the speculation continues, especially given his ability to seamlessly portray multiple personalities on screen. His role as Norman Bates in Bates Motel, where he played both the troubled teenager and his alternate persona, “Mother,” showcased his incredible acting range—perhaps fueling the belief that there might be two of him in real life.
While Freddie Highmore may not have a twin, his talent and versatility make it seem as if he could be in two places at once. Whether playing a genius surgeon or a complex villain, he continues to captivate audiences with performances that make him truly one of a kind.
