Being twins is one thing, but speaking in sync, well that’s a whole other ball game.
This pair of Aussie identical twins have left viewers around the world stunned after they spoke in unison for a full four-minute live TV interview.
Brisbane sisters Paula and Bridgette Powers claim to have never spent more than 10 minutes apart, let alone a day, and told Good Morning Britain their manner of speaking “just happens automatically”.
The 42-year-olds shot down accusations they prepared their answers.
“We don’t know how it happens. Some people go, ‘do you rehearse a conversation?’ And we say ‘no, how can you rehearse a conversation?’ It’s a bit stupid.”
This is by no means the first time that Bridgette and Paula have snagged the attention of the internet. You might well recall this viral clip from a 2014 episode of Insight on SBS.
However this is the first time the pair have been captured speaking in unison for four minutes straight in a live interview.
Show co-host Piers Morgan can hardly contain himself from the get-go, and likens the two to characters out of Star Trek.
“How can you keep a straight face? This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen,” Morgan said.
And we’ve got to admit, they do speak rather robotically. Or perhaps that’s just how we’d all sound if we learned to articulate ultra carefully. But the pair even giggle in unison and in exactly the same way. PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Probed on their love lives, Paula and Bridgette declare they are “very, very busy” with their work running Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue.

So annoying! One of our favourite family shows is ruined every time they appear on Bondi Vet. Childish and irritating.
The world is full of unique personalities. These ladies stand nothing to gain from 'faking' anything. They are sweet, naïve ladies who have just grown a little differently. I have seen them on Bondi Vet lots of times and Dr Chris treats them with respect and interest in their work as wildlife carers. He doesn't find the need to call them weird or laugh at them. They're just two odd bods who spend all their time helping native birds.
Great comment Steph :)
Fantastically said, and I agree absolutely. I've seen them on Bondi Vet as well and they've been treated with respect for their work and passion by Dr. Chris, who doesn't see fit to treat them like a sideshow, unlike the horrible characters in these interviews.
