If you needed proof that Hollywood loves to recycle the same actors, consider this: breakout stars Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort are starring in two of the most talked about YA movies next year, Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars, as siblings and lovers, respectively. Because there are no other young and beautiful Caucasian twentysomethings who could've possibly taken one of the other characters.

But this isn't the first time accidental incest has happened in movies and TV. Here are more examples of a couple of actors sharing blood in one project and sharing a bed in another.

Truly a mindfuck: Poehler and Arnett, a former real life couple, appeared as a couple who hated each other on Arrested and as siblings who truly loved each other in Blades. Uncomfortable for everyone involved.

Actor best friends do best friend things, like make out during a threesome in one movie and be all half-brotherly in the next.
