Real Names Of Stars: Foreign Celebrities

As you all know very well, not all famous people use their real names in their profession. Someone did not like their own name given by their parents by themselves, someone was called too simply for a star and had to look for a sonorous pseudonym, someone, when joining the acting guild, found their full namesake there …

In general, it probably doesn't matter why the stars change their names, the main thing is that they did it and are doing it, but we wonder how they are there according to their passport? -)

So we decided to compile for you a small and in no way claiming to be complete cheat sheet of star names and pseudonyms. And let's start with foreign celebrities. So who are they really?
