No, no, they're cousins. But they're so close, they might as well be brothers. And their parents, well, they're the ones who uploaded the video to YouTube, just for their family and friends to see. Little did they know, huh?
Charlie's Big Moment
Now, the video that made Charlie a star? It was filmed when Charlie was just nine months old. Can you even imagine being that tiny and famous? I can't. I mean, I've never been that tiny, but you know what I mean.
In the video, Harry, who was three at the time, is playing with a toy while Charlie, little angel that he is, crawls over and gives Harry's finger a good ol' bite. And oh boy, does Harry let us know about it. It's hilarious, it's adorable, it's everything the internet loves.
