(135,425 posts)That makes him related to Poppy as well.
He's also distantly related to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

While family trees such as these throw up interesting links, genetically they are meaningless. While children carry half the genes of their father, cousins as far removed as Obama and Bush would have no more genetic link than someone they bumped into at random in the street.
When I see trash, I tend to toss it--I'd do that with that kind of meanspirited, deliberate goading.
