Drew and Jonathan Scott have become very well known names in the home renovation and real estate business thanks to their multiple hit shows Property Brothers, Buying & Selling and Brother vs. Brother. Their abilities in the industry, not to mention their striking good looks as identical twins, have made them a definite hit with audiences and home-buyers alike, with Drew specializing in real estate and Jonathan an expert in home renovations. As their star gets bigger and bigger, now is as good a time as ever to check out some unknown facts about Drew and Jonathan Scott!

11. Fighting Words

Both Jonathan and Drew seem more like the loving instead of fighting type, but that didn’t stop Jonathan Scott from getting involved in a bar brawl. Just days before their 38th birthday, Jonathan was out on the town with friends, seemingly without Drew, and reportedly got in the middle of an altercation. Although his sources deny he had anything to actually do with the fight, it was Jonathan that ended up being subdued by the bouncer, after which Jonathan called the cops and claimed he had been assaulted.

10. The Other Brother

Jonathan and Drew Scott are pretty much a package deal. They star on shows together, do events together and pretty much just stick together, which for twins is normal; however, many don’t know or forget there is another Scott brother. Jonathan and Drew have an older brother J.D. Scott who they also work closely with.

9. Dividian Production 

Before hitting their stride by starring in their own shows, Jonathan, Drew and J.D. Scott founded an indie film company called Dividian Production Group in 2004. They all worked at performing, writing, directing and producing for years under this company before launching their own on-screen hits.

8. Scott Brothers Entertainment

After finding success and with the rise of their popularity, the three brothers branched off with Scott Brothers Entertainment, which focuses on creating original content. If you’re thinking this means their own W Network and HGTV shows, you’d be wrong, Scott Brothers Entertainment is behind show such as The Interrogation, A Better Me, Karma Inc., The Oracle and more!

7. Childhood

Many fans and audiences assume the Scott brothers are city boys, but they recently gave insight to their roots which included growing up on a ranch. The two premiered a special edition of Property Brothers called At Home on the Ranch in which they showed people their hometown, where they grew up on the farm and helped a family friend renovate their farm.
