Australian Twins Go Viral for Uncanny Synchrony During Interview

(Queensland, Australia) — Bridgette and Paula Powers, identical twin sisters from Australia, have drawn international attention after their recent TV interview, in which they spoke in perfect unison while recounting their mother’s harrowing experience with a carjacker. The sisters, both 50, shared their story during a segment aired on April 21, 2025.

In the interview, Bridgette and Paula described how they encountered an armed carjacker on Steve Irwin Way. They recounted, “One guy, he was up there with our mom… he goes, ‘Run, he’s got a gun!’” Both sisters delivered the line simultaneously, showcasing their remarkable synchronicity that left viewers astonished.

The twins further recalled the tense moments as they witnessed their mother trying to help the bloodied carjacker, who then threatened her life. They continued, “Mom distracted him… and the guy goes, ‘I’ll find you and I’ll shoot you.’” This portion of the interview received significant attention on social media, where users were amazed by the sisters’ ability to speak together.

The interview went viral, garnering more than 1 million views within hours. Many viewers were captivated by the twins’ unconventional style of communication, with some humorously referring to it as “quantum entanglement.”

In the aftermath of the incident, both Bridgette and Paula expressed gratitude that their mother emerged unscathed while a terrifying series of events led to the arrest of the suspect. The carjacker is facing multiple charges, including armed robbery, following a deadly crash that resulted in the death of another individual.

The Powers sisters are not new to media attention; they own and operate Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue in Queensland and have been involved in wildlife rescue for over 20 years. Previously, they gained notoriety in a 2016 interview on ITV’s “Good Morning Britain,” where they also exhibited their unique speaking style.

When asked about their synchronized speech, the sisters said, “We don’t know how it happens. We know that we annoy a lot of people out there but it doesn’t bother us one bit.” Despite the critiques, they remain steadfast in their communication style, suggesting it is an inherent part of their bond.

As they reflect on their continuing journey in wildlife rescue and their newfound fame, it remains to be seen how their tandem speaking will influence their interactions with audiences worldwide.
