Presidential candidates don't just have star supporters – they have celebrity cousins!

Researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society discovered that Barack Obama is distant cousins with Brad Pitt and Hillary Clinton is related to Angelina Jolie, Madonna, Alanis Morissette, and Celine Dion.

Obama – who wrote his own Just Like Us captions last month – is also distantly related to six presidents, including George W. Bush.

Pitt and Obama are ninth cousins, linked by Edwin Hickman, who died in Virginia in 1769, the researchers found.

Clinton – who revealed her worst outfits ever to Us – and Jolie, meanwhile, are ninth cousins, twice removed because they are both related to Jean Cusson who died in St. Sulpice, Quebec, in 1718.
