Nicolas Cage
The weird and wonderful Nicolas Cage is closely related to the iconic auteur, Francis Ford Coppola. In a bid to separate himself from the Coppola clan and make his own fortunes, “Nicolas Coppola” became Nicolas Cage. This edgy-sounding change worked for Nic, but we doubt that all the essence of nepotism disappeared from his career path. Nicolas Cage has had more memes made about him than he has starred in obscure B-films, and we love him for it.
Vin Diesel
Now, there is no way on Earth that anyone has the natural name of Vin Diesel. Regardless, “Mark Sinclair” decided that his name was far too innocent sounding for his career built on action and sci-fi classics. Vin Diesel has appeared in many phenomenal film franchises, such as The Chronicles of Riddick and The Fast and the Furious. Despite his hardcore name and appearance, Vin is a big fan of the nerdy realms, particularly Dungeons & Dragons.
