WATCH: Icon Janet Jackson shocks world by revealing all her famous cousins
Iconic singer Janet Jackson recently revealed that more celebrities are part of her already-famous family tree, including two other singers and an actor.
The Jackson family tree is already quite extensive, consisting of siblings Rebbie, 74, Jackie, 73, Tito, 70, Jermaine, 69, La Toya, 68, Marlon, 67, Brandon, who died shortly after birth in 1957, Randy, 62, Michael Jackson, who died in 2009, and, of course, Janet Jackson, 58.
In a recent interview on BBC's Radio 2 Breakfast, the youngest Jackson sister revealed that their already star-studded family is also related to other Hollywood A-listers.

On the episode on 13 August, the 58-year-old revealed that singer Stevie Wonder is actually her cousin.
"He's our cousin," she said.
"Not a lot of people know that. He's our cousin on my mother's side."
However, that was only the start, as the ‘Nasty’ singer surprised the presenters with even more celebrity family members.
"So is Tracy Chapman," she continued with a chuckle. "So is Samuel L, Jackson. He would be a cousin, too. I mean, he's not my brother."
