These weird celebrity baby names will make you cringe

No one wants their kid to have the same name as everyone in the classroom, but some celebrities take it way too far. Sometimes only one of the children draws the shorter stick, but more often than not all siblings have to endure growing up with names like Seven or Pilot Inspektor. After welcoming son X Æ A-12, Grimes and Elon Musk had a baby girl whom they named Exa Dark Sideræl in December 2021. More than a year later, the musician shared an update to their youngest child's name. "She's Y now, or 'Why?' or just '?' (But the government won't recognize that)," Grimes tweeted on March 23, "curiosity, the eternal question, .. and such." The news followed a rare photo of the baby girl wearing a red onesie and rocking neon hair, matching her mother. From cities to fruits and animals, celebrities' creativity has no limit when it comes to choosing a name for their child. Some A-listers have been doing it way before it was considered the cool thing to do. Click through this gallery to see the most bizarre celebrity baby names!

What The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Actors Look Like in Real Life

Here's what the cast looks like when they're not in their Middle-earth costumes. One of the most anticipated shows of 2022—and surely the most expensive–is Prime Video's The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, a prequel set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Per Prime Video, the show will "take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness." The characters that populate The Rings of Power are elves, dwarves, harfoots, and some humans. But out of their Middle-earth costumes, these fantastical characters are actors and actresses from around the world. Here, see what the cast of The Rings of Power looks like in real life:

Demanding actors who changed how movies turned out

Actors can be hard to please and are often unhappy with various aspects of a particular production, script, or character. In some cases, they even end up insisting that something be changed until their directors eventually give in to keep them happy. A report from The Wall Street Journal counted all the words Keanu Reeves said in 'John Wick: Chapter 4' and found that in 169 minutes he utters only 380 words of dialogue—almost a third of which consists of just one-word lines like, "Yeah"—but director Chad Stahelski says it was the actor's own choice. Stahelski revealed that Wick doesn’t have a lot of dialogue because “Mr. Reeves stripped out roughly half the dialogue written for his character in the initial script.” As it stands, the longest line of dialogue that Reeves has is in a scene with co-star Hiroyuki Sanada, who plays Shimazu Koji, where Wick says, “You and I left a good life behind a long time ago, my friend." To be fair, Reeves is doing a whole lot without words in the film, which is also experiencing a huge box office debut regardless of his lack of dialogue. In the following gallery, go behind the scenes of some of your favorite movies to discover which actors changed the outcome of a movie by demanding things go their way!
