Here’s a good one I learned today: Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy, is the grandson of former US ambassador to Sierra Leone, Arthur WInston Lewis, who is the cousin of Colin Powell.

After googling to confirm this, here is a pic of a young Wentz with his mother, who was an aide to Joe Biden (as was his father)

There’s a “joke” in Family Guy where Stewie says that John Lithgow is Leo DiCaprio’s uncle, and Brian says “really?” and Stewie says “No, but doesn’t that sound like it could be true?”

And now everytime I think of John Lithgow I incorrectly remember for a second that he’s Leo’s uncle, before I remember he’s not.
