As Destiny’s Child when sang, you much better “say my name.”
For a handful of stars, the chart-topping tune could not be more real. A-listers like Chrissy Teigen, Gal Gadot, Ralph Fiennes, Ariana Grande (yes, actually!) and lots of others have actually handled individuals mispronouncing their names.
In 2018, the Cravings cookbook author dropped jaws when she exposed the appropriate method to state, Teigen—which is expected to be pronounced like Tie-Ghen, and not Tee-Ghen.
“It’s been 25 years. I’m tired of correcting people and I never correct people,” she stated throughout a look on Live With Kelly and 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 star whose name individuals get incorrect? Charlize Theron. Despite being a family name, the Hollywood star confessed that her surname is often stated 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.”
