Andrew is right-handed, and Adrian is left-handed. Apart from that, they have the same look, the same hobbies, the same reactions, the same opinions, and are “the same basically in every way.” Who are they? The Nuño twins.Andrew is right-handed, and Adrian is left-handed. Apart from that, they have the same look, the same hobbies, the same reactions, the same opinions, and are “the same basically in every way.”
Their identical appearance has resulted in the large amount of attention towards them. Adrian explained how they get “the same reaction every time” when someone first meets them. “First, it’s a long stare,” he reflected. “Followed by the same question, ‘Are you guys twins?’… [It] never gets old.” Andrew confirmed that “whether it’s a hotel, a store, at school, [or] at the park, we get a lot of attention simply because we look alike.”
Not to mention, their identical appearance has resulted in large amount of confusion on which Nuño is which. “[It’s] become second nature [to]… wav[e] at people who wave at me even if I don’t know them,” Andrew admitted. “Usually, they turn out to be friends of Adrian’s from other classes.” Adrian added how “people have mixed us up so many times [that] it’s hard to count them all.” According to him, it is “interesting being an identical twin because so many odd things can happen, such as sudden conversations with teachers . . . people I don’t know.”
While most think it would be irritating to have someone exactly like them, Andrew and Adrian both believe that they have their own identities despite their countless similarities. “The very small list of things we do differently is enough to distinguish us from one another,” reasoned Andrew.
In addition, Andrew and Adrian enjoy looking exactly like one another. Adrian believes that “one of the fun things about being twins… is seeing if [people] can tell ‘Twin 1’ and ‘Twin 2’ apart.” Andrew acknowledged that both “Adrian and I have this running gag were we sometimes say we are the other [twin] just to mess with people’s heads.”
