Scarlett Johansson was joined by her twin brother, Hunter Johansson, to host the Champions of Rockaway Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser on Tuesday evening at Hudson Terrace in New York City.

He was born three minutes after her and was a campaign adviser for Barack Obama in 2008.

“If there is a truly altruistic person I know in my life, it’s my brother,” she told People about her twin brother Hunter Johansson. “He reminds me to be a better person all the time. I’m incredibly proud of him.”

“There are few places and moments when my sister can move about without being recognized. When those rare instances happen, I am reminded of a time before her celebrity, when we were kids, and I treasure that,” Hunter told Parade about his sister. “She is my other half. Nothing is more important to me than my twin.”

Scarlett added, “I feel very connected to him. He’s the most golden-hearted person. I think a lot of people spend their life looking for a partner, someone to be a mirror to reflect upon, to remind them that they’ve lived. You want someone to tell you what he witnessed in your life. My twin brother has always been that for me.”

The successful film actress, model, and singer donned a black-and-navy silk crepe dress from the Proenza Schouler Spring 2015 collection.

It’s hard to believe she gave birth just over a month ago! Scarlett styled her elegant dress with a Reece Hudson “Stendhal” minaudière clutch and a pair of Sophia Webster “Flamingo” suede pumps.
