The Fake Names Movie Stars Check Into Hotels Under Revealed

As we know, movie stars obviously don’t check in to hotels or book taxis and the like using their real names.

Course not, they’d be overrun with fans and paparazzi in minutes, so instead they tend employ cunning aliases.

Well now, thanks to one of the more benign leaks from the recent system hack at Sony Pictures, we can reveal a host of nom-de-plumes of the movie world.

And some are rather more amusing than others.

Brilliantly, Tom Hanks favours the moniker Johnny Madrid, while former Spider-Man Tobey Maguire has the pun-tastic Neil Deep.

Daniel Craig, now well-versed in undercover operations, goes by his grandfather’s name, Olwen Williams (though his granddad used the spelling Olwyn).

Jessica Alba uses the arguably conspicuous handle Cash Money (a play on her husband’s name Cash Warren, and more than a subtle nod to legendary DJ Cash Money).

Meanwhile, Sarah Michelle Gellar goes for Neely O’Hara, and Rob Schneider, ever the clown, uses Nazzo Good.

Elsewhere there’s the rather more functional Mr Perry for Jude Law, Lauren Brown for Natalie Portman, Robert Fenton for Clive Owen, and O’Shea Jackson for Ice Cube (his real name is Oliver Shea Jackson).

So hotel receptionists should commit all of these to memory for future bookings. Unless they now decide to change them, which they almost certainly will.

The hack, courtesy of a group calling themselves ‘Guardians of Peace’, has so far revealed all manner of confidential information from the movie company, including personal details, salary figures and private emails.

The FBI are looking into the source of the leak, which is thought to have come from Thailand.

Hackers based in North Korea were originally thought to be responsible, though the group has demanded that the Seth Rogen and James Franco movie ‘The Interview’, which mocks the country’s leader, be pulled from release.
