Celebrities Whose Names You’ve Been Mispronouncing

As Destiny’s Child as soon as sang, you far better “say my name.”

For a handful of stars, the chart-topping track could not be much more real. A-listers like Chrissy Teigen, Gal Gadot, Ralph Fiennes, Ariana Grande (yes, actually!) as well as numerous others have actually taken care of individuals mispronouncing their names.

In 2018, the Cravings recipe book writer went down jaws when she disclosed the proper method to state, Teigen—which is meant to be articulated like Tie-Ghen, as well as not Tee-Ghen.

“It’s been 25 years. I’m tired of correcting people and I never correct people,” she claimed throughout a look on Live With Kelly as well as Ryan. “You know, on Twitter, I’m very outspoken and I love to correct people on there but as far as like… if someone does something wrong or calls me the wrong name, you can call me anything. I’ll respond to it.”

Another celebrity whose name individuals misunderstand? Charlize Theron. Despite being a house name, the Hollywood celebrity confessed that her surname is often claimed improperly.

“They screw it up,” the Bombshell starlet informed Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show in 2014. “I almost want to make an audiotape on how to pronounce my name.”
