The real celebrity birth names you don't expect.

In the entertainment world, you know, there is a lot of creativity and imagination. There are also many stage names, which singers, actors, models and celebrities of all kinds have chosen to replace their birth name. How come? Sometimes this is done to use a more "marketable" name, which sounds better. Other times you do not want to give resonance to the surname that you wear for various reasons.

From Marylin Monroe to Olivia Wilde, from Katy Perry to Gigi Hadid: these are the stars whose birth names are not what you thought they were.
