Mario Nawfal(@MarioNawfal):🇺🇸 Marilyn Monroe and Sydney Sweeney apparently have more in common than Hollywood comparisons. They're actually related. Genealogy site MyHeritage traced the two actresses back to a shared ancestor, Ezra Perry, an English settler in Massachusetts in the 1600s. That makes them ninth cousins, once removed. And Sweeney isn't the only one. Dakota Johnson, who recently played Monroe in a short film, is reportedly her ninth cousin, three times removed. Some families pass down recipes. This one apparently passes down leading roles. Source: The Hollywood Reporter / Writer: Julie
