Viral Aussie twins Bridgette and Paula Powers have appeared on The Project overnight where they have once again spoken in unison.
Footage of the identical twins from Queensland went viral on Monday when they were interviewed by 7News after witnessing a horror carjacking spree in their Sunshine Coast community.
The twins’ mother, Helen Powers, was among those who came face-to-face with the man allegedly holding the gun.
But the twins themselves became the news story when they responded to the journalist’s questions at exactly the same time and in exactly the same way, leaving viewers both locally and globally in awe.
The folks over on The Project were just as captivated, with the panel inviting Bridgette and Paula on the show on Tuesday night to please explain how they are able to talk identically, word-for-word.
“It just happens and we don’t know why. But we have tried to talk separately but it’s we’re not ourselves. It’s not us,” they responded together.
“It’s very hard and we don’t care about the critics. We tell people if you can’t stand listening to us, simply switch off the TV.”
The Project host Waleed Aly playfully pleaded with viewers to not switch off just yet as they still had questions for the twins.
“Sorry, I’m still blown away with what’s happening here,’ he said. “How does this happen?”
The inseparable twins were then asked if they have ever been in romantic relationships.
“Guess what? We’re too busy for boyfriends. We give all our time to the wildlife,” they responded, referring to the Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue sanctuary they founded. “Men are too much trouble.”
The pair also revealed that they have never had a falling out.
“Never, no way. We love one another and we’re best friends,” they said.
Still in awe, Aly said that throughout his career, interviewing the twins has got to be a highlight.
“I reckon I might have done 10 to 15,000 interviews... not one has been was like, this is extraordinary,” he told them.
The twins are no strangers to fame. They first gained recognition after working closely alongside and being mentored by late wildlife legend Steve Irwin.
The pair went viral in 2016 after appearing on Good Morning Britain where they spoke in unison during an interview with Piers Morgan, who couldn’t stop laughing.
“This is one of the greatest interviews I’ve ever conducted in my life,” he declared at the time.
They confessed that they in fact did not rehearse their speech and that speaking in unison
was simply to do with how close they are.
In a 2021 interview with ABC’s Australia Story, the pair further admitted that they had never spent a day apart, saying “When we’re separated we don’t feel complete.”
“Our brains must think alike at the same time,” they added.
