Celebrities You Never Knew Changed Their Names

Joaquin Phoenix – Real Name: Joaquin Rafael Bottom

 

Joaquin Phoenix, one of Hollywood’s most admired performers, has received recognition for his peculiarities as well as his talent. His acting career began in the early ’80s. Still, it wasn’t until the early ’00s that he rose to prominence, thanks to a succession of memorable performances in supporting roles in films like “The Village,” “Gladiator,” and “Signs.”

He was born Joaquin Rafael Bottom, but his family decided to change their last name to Phoenix in the ’70s, which signified their new beginning after leaving the Children of God cult in which they belonged at the time. Phoenix, an Oscar-winning actor, acted in “C’mon C’mon” in 2021.
