The Johansson twins share quite a close relationship according to what the media has been exposed to. For starters, Hunter has often been seen at the side of his sister at red-carpet events, premieres, and industry events.
Also, the pair is involved in politics in their own ways. While Scarlett has been vocal about her preferred political candidates over the years, her twin brother once served as the campaign adviser to the former United States President, Barrack Obama who his sister also supported.
The Solar Responders CEO is a Philanthropist
Given that his foundation is dedicated to helping people, this is no news. However, there is more to Hunter’s philanthropy than Solar Responders.
In November 2014, the twins hosted a fundraiser in New York. They hosted the Champions of Rockaway Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser in New York.
The inspiration behind this was the September 11 Hurricane Sandy which destroyed the city they thought was solid and upturned the lives of survivors. The Black Widow actress and her brother were just 15 years old when the unfortunate incident happened.
