12 Celebrities We Fans Fad No Idea Used Stage Names
A list of celebrities with stage names, loosely ordered by fame and popularity. It’s difficult to get into the show industry, but a catchy stage name might help you stand out in a sea of dull Joe Smiths and Anne Taylors. This list contains celebrities you may not have known were using fictitious stage names, such as those who went by their middle names and those who used variants of their family names. To prevent confusion with other actors, a number of people on this list altered their names. For example, Michael Keaton, better known as Batman, was born Michael John Douglas, not Michael Kirk Douglas (whose own father, Kirk Douglas, was born Issur Danielovitch). Other celebrities changed their names in order to maintain their anonymity. Natalie Hershlag was a well-known child actor, but you probably know her as Natalie Portman. Some celebrities who use aliases alter their identities just because they sound better. This list of notable stage names covers celebrities with nicknames as well as celebrities who have altered their names. It does not, however, include female celebrities who use their married surname professionally, renowned people who were adopted by stepparents as children and had their names legally altered, or celebrities with blatantly theatrical stage names, such as many wrestlers and eponymous artists. Adele has to have a surname, right? You are aware that Sting’s true name is not Sting. You’re fairly sure it wasn’t a coincidence that the Macho Man’s surname was Savage.
