I’d have added Jon before Andy. lol Anyway, that’s a very interesting mix I did not expect. I knew they had French-Canadian, but didn’t realize it was so little.
They are 7th cousins.
No, Andy’s brother Jon who is mentioned in the profile/description.
At least he could choose “John” as a nickname to not piss the more famous one.
Molly is the daughter of actress Terry McQueen and the granddaughter of actor Steve McQueen. Her uncle (mother’s brother) is actor, producer, and race car driver Chad McQueen. Her cousin (Chad’s son) is actor and model Steven R. McQueen.
