The Surprising Real Names of 15 Celebrities
Woody Allen
A lot of people know that Allen is Jewish, but no one really questioned the fact that his real name doesn’t sound anything like Woody Allen. The celebrity is known in his early life as Allan Stewart Konigsberg and it’s probably a mouthful to say. Woody Allen is kind of easy to say and remember for audiences. It’s also simple enough for people not to question the legitimacy of his name because it’s not too outlandish.
