There are a few reasons that you might not realize that Emilio Estevez has famous brothers. One of them is that he uses a different name to the rest of the family. His dad Martin and his brother Charlie go by the name of 'Sheen,' but Estevez decided to forge his own path and use the family's real second name. The second is that he doesn't actually look all that much like the other two either. He's significantly shorter for a start - as you can see in this picture.
Fans of 80s cult movies will always have a special place in their hearts for Estevez - he was in both 'The Breakfast Club,' and 'St. Elmo's Fire,' - both movies which are winning new fans today thanks to streaming services. You'll be more likely to find him behind the camera as a director these days instead of standing in front of it. Perhaps people don't notice his height quite so much when he's sitting down - he's only 5 foot 7.
