Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Keyisha Cole

Born on October 15, 1981, in Oakland, California, Cole was the child to another celebrity, though she didn't know it at the time. She is the biological daughter of a woman named Francine Lons and the prolific boxing trainer Virgil Hunter. She met her father when she was an adult, but she lived her first two years with her mom. At age two, she was adopted by Leon and Yvonne Cole, family friends who gave her their last name.

Dean Cain

Superman certainly didn't think of his own biological father as a hero. "He's not the kind of man I want to be," he said of his dad, "He was an unfaithful husband and not much of a father." Roger Tanaka, a U.S. serviceman, is his biological father. His mother, actress Sharon Thomas, was later able to remarry director Christopher Cain, who adopted the young star. Cain has never met his DNA father.
