The only thing missing from this tweet is a period. You better step it up next year, Spencer.” We really hope this challenge is accepted!

We love seeing photos of celebrities before they were famous; it’s even better when we get to see their childhood antics with siblings or other family. The Evans brothers are super-close — they frequently appear together on red carpets, on late-night talk shows and in YouTube videos like this one.

It’s amazing to see these brothers are still tight. And, uh, we’ll take more childhood pictures, please!
