Meet Cooper’s fraternal twin, Payton Koch, who’s also making his mark in Hollywood. Their shared talent proves that creativity runs in the Koch family.

A Bond Like No Other

The Koch twins share a close relationship and often showcase their brotherly bond on Instagram.

Payton has been making a name for himself in Hollywood, working behind the scenes for shows like Only Murders in the Building, where he was nominated this year for ‘Outstanding Picture Editing For A Single-Camera Comedy Series‘ as an editor for the ‘Sitzprobe’ episode.

This year, the 28-year-old set the internet ablaze when fans learned that he didn’t use a prosthetic in his steamy shower scene in Monsters—and it didn’t even involve any physical contact. Not too surprising when you consider their grandfather is Hawk Koch, the film producer behind hits like Very Good Girls, Source Code, Norman, and The Beautician and the Beast, among many others.

But here’s the fun twist: Cooper has a fraternal twin. Fans left and right can't seem to get enough of the charming 28-year-old actor, taking to X to share comments like, "therapy is expensive but cooper koch's laugh is for free <3" and "anyway cooper koch stays unproblematic and sexy".

The message was shared on Koch's behalf by his twin brother Payton.

Payton Koch prefers to stay behind the camera in Hollywood and just picked up his first Emmy nomination - like his brother, he's open about his sexuality, often referring to it on social media

After starring in Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story last year, Cooper Koch quickly became one of Hollywood's hottest men.

Suffice to say, Cooper’s viral moment owes a lot to good genetics.

The Koch family must really be genetically blessed, because here’s another set of photos shared by Payton featuring their family, shirtless and soaking up the sun, while on a picturesque getaway in Canada.

"Have never felt more proud of another human being. Here’s a carousel of photos of the two walking shirtless on the beach with their horses looking like they came straight out of a Calvin Klein ad. His earlier work includes editing a series of short films such as Decadeless (2018), Duet (2018), Devil’s Bloom (2018), and the TV movie Jaded (2018).

Like his twin Cooper, Payton has also worked for Ryan Murphy Productions’ American Horror Story and Ratched where he worked under the editorial department. The twist? While Cooper takes centre stage as Erik Menendez, Payton is carving his path behind the scenes.

Who Are Cooper and Payton Koch?

The twins, now 28, were born to Billy Koch, a prominent figure in horse racing, and Kathy Kaehler, a well-known author.

“I won’t speak for Cooper,” he shared, “but I will say that he cares immensely for the [Menendez] boys and stands with them and all victims of abuse.” He praised Cooper’s dedication to ensuring the brothers’ stories of abuse were accurately portrayed on screen.

What’s Next for the Menendez Brothers?

The real-life Menendez brothers, currently serving life sentences, might see a shift in their legal battles.

Notably, he also edited the highly-rated short film Elevate (2016).

His work on Hulu's TV comedy-drama Only Murders in the Building, which stars Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Tina Fey and Meryl Streep, earned him his first Primetime Emmy nomination, this year.

Filmmaking is in his blood

This may be news to some fans, but Cooper and Payton are the grandsons of Howard "Hawk" Koch, a film producer and former president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Producers Guild of America.

And yes, he’s equally blessed in the gene department. It wasn't the first time he'd shown the brothers' propensity for cross-dressing and cosplaying their favourite real or video characters.

He also confirmed his sexuality in a post celebrating Pride Day in 2023, sharing a photo of him and Cooper labelled "happy #pride from your favorite #gay twins".
