The Fake Names That Celebrities Use at Hotels

Famous entertainers often stay at hotels while traveling, but that can put them at increased risk for attracting unwanted attention from paparazzi — or even repeated unwanted encounters with fans. So when checking in, many celebrities have developed alter egos that allow them to stay at hotels and stay under the radar.

However, the funny thing about these aliases is that while they may conceal the celebrity’s identity, they can be very revealing.

Many celebrities aliases were leaked back in 2014, so the brightest stars among us have very likely changed theirs. But that doesn't make the names any less telling.

For example, a celebrity who names himself after a favorite character may identify deeply with certain personality traits. Or someone who uses a loved one’s name may want to keep their family close while on the road. But, then again, maybe there’s not all that much depth to these fake names. There are also celebrities who use their hotel aliases as an opportunity for a joke and nothing more.
