WASHINGTON, March 26 (UPI) -- U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama and Hollywood actor Brad Pitt are ninth cousins, researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society said.
Usmagazine.com said the group also found that Obama's political rival, Hillary Clinton, is related to Pitt's partner Angelina Jolie, as well as singers Madonna, Alanis Morissette and Celine Dion.
Obama is also distantly related to six presidents, including George W. Bush, the report said.
