These Celebrities Don't Actually Use Their Real Names

Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore's story is similar to Emma Stone's. Julie Anne Smith was told to change her name because there was already both a Julie Smith and a Julie Anne Smith in Hollywood. The Screen Actor's Guild told her to try again, and she chose Moore because of her dad's middle name, and Anne for her mother's first name.
