19岁的连头双胞胎史蒂芬与泰勒(Stefan and Tyler Delp)出生时就因为头部相连,必须时时刻刻都在一起,在父母的保护下,两人从未在媒体前曝光,日前首度接受《费城询问报》(Philadelphia Inquirer)专访,才让世人见证到生命的奇迹。
史蒂芬与泰勒头部相连,但一人脸朝前一人脸朝后,两人虽时时共处,但永远无法见到对方,当一人往前走时,另一人就必须「倒退噜」。出生在费城的他们患有自闭症,虽然是双胞胎却有着不同的性向,史蒂芬是异性恋,泰勒却是同志。3岁时医生曾经计划进行分割手术,但因风险太高而作罢。
两人都有音乐方面的天份,一起学小提琴17年,他们的校长说:「两兄弟的志向不同,一个喜欢电影,一个喜欢音乐。」他们已经学会当彼此的兄弟和知己,一起乐观拥抱人生。史蒂芬说:「泰勒是我最好的朋友」,泰勒也说:「兄弟和自己连在一起的最大好处,是我永远有个知己在旁边跟我聊天」。
