You wouldn't believe the fake names these celebrities use
Imagine this: a hotel gets a call to book a room or a whole floor under a celebrity's name. There's a huge frenzy, the media is in the know, and everyone books the room next door, turning the place into chaos. To avoid such a hassle, celebrities, like the one we see in the picture, use false names. And they can come up with the weirdest things!
Some of the celebrities' aliases are funny or unexpected. Many of them were leaked during a hacking attack on Sony in 2014.
Like everybody who has seen the movie, Kevin Costner can't forget his iconic role as Whitney Houston's bodyguard. Therefore, he likes to use his character's name: Frank Farmer.
The entrepreneur and reality TV star usually uses Princess Jasmine as her name when traveling.
The Oscar-winning actor has two different nicknames: Harry Lauder and Johnny Madrid.
Our Queen B uses the name Ingrid Jackson to go unnoticed when booking a hotel.
Simple. The British actor travels under the name of Mr. Perry.
Jessica Alba uses the name Cash Money when booking a hotel. Although it's obvious that Jessica can pay with cash, her alias has more to do with her husband's name: Cash Warren.
It's funny that George Clooney's way of staying undercover goes by using Arnold Schwarzenegger's name. Hilarious.
The legendary Buffy wanted to be as anonymous as possible and so she made up the name "Neely O'Hara."
Another celebrity that wants to check in using a famous name is Jay-Z. The rapper goes by Frank Sinatra when making a reservation.
Undeniably original, LiLo pays homage to the well-known 70s adult film actress, Linda Lovelace, whose usual nickname was Bella Lovelace.
The first on-screen 'Spider Man' actor hides behind the name Neil Deep when calling a restaurant. Certainly, using the name of his most famous character is no option.
Her false name is simple and elegant, just like she is: Lauren Brown.
Laying low and Michael Jordan don't match. That's why the basketball legend's most-used names are: Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, or Mr. Sterling. Not suspicious at all.
'Will & Grace' lead actress Debra Messing used to go hide behind the name of Ava Harper to stay away from the press.
Far from what you may have guessed, Daniel Craig doesn't use the alias "James Bond." The actor goes under the name of his grandfather, Olwen Williams, who was an innkeeper himself.
Painfully original, Jennifer Anniston's pseudonym is Mrs. Smith, the character Angelina Jolie played when Brad Pitt fell in love with her and divorced Aniston. We have to admit that Aniston's sense of humor is both wonderful and twisted.
Bryce Pilaf is the made-up name the actor uses to travel around the world. Although the two first letters coincide, you'd never have guessed who was behind the alias.
If we lived in an ideal world, Angelina Jolie's alias would have been Rachel Green. But it isn't, because the actress goes by the fake name of Miss Lollipop.
As eccentric as he is, Johnny Depp has many pseudonyms: Mr. Drip Noodle, Mr. Stench, and Mr. Oddpong are just some of them.
The name Paris Hilton is really hard to miss, and that's why the reality TV star uses one of her chihuahuas' names: Tinkerbell. By the way, that's the dog that lives in a miniature reproduction of Paris' mansion.
Robert Fenton is the name that Clive Owen used in the past. He definitely got the inspiration from his wife's name: Sarah-Jane Fenton.
As a private person, Kirsten Stewart never travels under her own name. Instead, she goes by Chuck Steak.
Matt Damon has got it all wrong if his goal is to stay under the radar. When checking into a hotel, the actor uses the alias "Mr. President" or "Mr. Naff."
The Cali singer has never hidden her passion for The Beatles. She has taken one of their famous songs as the inspiration for her alias: Penny Lane.
Nobody can deny Kate Beckinsale's sense of humor. As her alias, the actress uses another Hollywood actress' name (but with a twist): Sigourney Beaver.
According to the actor himself, he makes reservations under the name of Cage Hunt, his adult film name.
True or false? We'll never know.
Lebron pays homage to the one and only Michael Douglas. The basketball player goes under the name Gordon Gekko, Douglas' character in the 1987 film 'Wall Street.'
The comedian has one of the coolest pseudonyms of the Star System. He goes under the name Nazzo Good, which obviously sounds like 'Not So Good.' We couldn't expect less from the 'Male Gigolo' actor.
The singer/actor thought things through and created his false name by changing the words "timber" and "lake" for their synonyms, "wood" and "pond."
Well played, Mr. Woodpond!
Russell Crowe doesn't have time for games. When making reservations or checking into hotels he just changes his last name to Black.
As a well-known 'Friends' fan, Justin Bieber used to check into hotels under the name of Chandler Bing.
The actor didn't take the most creative route and, as a pseudonym, chose the name T.J. Smith. But then again, who's got time for that nonsense?
