The Surprising Real Names of 15 Celebrities
Portia de Rossi
A lot of people might have believed that de Rossi is of Italian descent, but she’s actually not. Her real name is Amanda Lee Rogers and she’s actually Australian-American. Her name could have worked just fine in Hollywood. It wasn’t exotic, long, or hard to pronounce at all. However, she might have thought that Portia de Rossi has more style than Amanda Lee Rogers for her acting career.
