Australian Twins Go Viral for Obvious Reasons After Hilarious Unscripted Local News Interview [WATCH]

In what can only be described as a perfect storm of eccentric charm, real-life drama, and unmistakable Aussie energy, identical twins Bridgette and Paula Powers have captured the internet’s attention in a big, big way.

The Queensland sisters recently appeared in a 7News Queensland segment after their mother was involved in a frightening roadside incident with an armed man following a car crash on Steve Irwin Way.

Yes — that Steve Irwin Way. But while the story itself was serious, what launched the Powers twins into viral stardom had less to do with the incident and more to do with how they told the story.

Speaking in flawless unison, with matching expressions and synchronized hand gestures, the Powers twins seemed plucked from a scripted comedy skit — only this was very real.

“Nothing can prepare you for what happens 20 seconds into this clip,” one viewer commented, echoing the bewildered delight of thousands who’ve since shared the video across platforms.

“This is the kind of scene you couldn’t script, characters you couldn’t invent. Watch it immediately with the sound on. Australia can’t be real,” another person added.

Their natural comedic timing, mirrored outfits, and uncanny ability to say exactly the same words at exactly the same time left many wondering if this was a prank, a bit, or something else entirely.

But nope — this is just who Bridgette and Paula are.

The viral moment quickly snowballed, with one viewer insisting, “Get these girls on Ellen.”

And honestly? Not a bad idea. If any duo was born for daytime TV, it’s these two.

Beyond their newfound internet fame, the Powers twins have long been local legends in their own right.

For nearly two decades, they’ve run Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue, a nonprofit sanctuary dedicated to rehabilitating injured seabirds along Australia’s Sunshine Coast.

Their Instagram page is a loving tribute to their work — full of pelicans, gulls, terns, and of course, the twins themselves.

Their bird-saving journey even once attracted the attention of Steve Irwin himself, who visited them with his crew back in the day.

It’s a full-circle kind of moment, considering their viral interview took place on Steve Irwin Way.

And the internet can’t get enough of them. “This is what I needed after the Papa dying,” one fan wrote, referencing the emotional rollercoaster of internet news.

“I’m sensing a TLC reality show for them in their future.”

From rescuing pelicans to delivering unforgettable interviews, Bridgette and Paula Powers are a perfect blend of earnestness and eccentricity.

They didn’t plan to become internet icons, but thanks to a one-of-a-kind interview, they may be well on their way to becoming Australia’s most lovable—and unintentional—TV stars.

Let’s just hope Hollywood is listening.
