>"I finally got an agent. They said, ‘Your name is too ethnic,’ I go, ‘What do you mean? It’s Leonardo DiCaprio.’ They go, ‘No, too ethnic. They’re never going to hire you. Your new name is Lenny Williams.’ My father saw the headshot and ripped it up. 'Over my dead body.'"https://www.huffpost.com/entry/leonardo-dicaprio-name-change_n_68d53bdee4b0ca9d8817764dCould Lenny Williams have made it as big as Leo did?
Kids in school called him Leonardo Retardo. And I mean kids in HIS school.
>>219416415They advised Laurence OIivier to change his name to "Larry Oliver". Kek.
Leonardo DiCrapio
>>219416447Jealousy at being forced to go to school with an absolute gigatwink
I think some execs wanted Harrison Ford to change his name too, which is insane
>>219416415>huffpostthis should be banned and old news.
>>219416459>Lenny Williams>Larry OliverVery jewish names these desu
>>219416415>too ethnic. They’re never going to hire you.why are jews so racist, bros?
>>219416532Was thinking the same thing. "Lenny Williams" in particular sounds like something someone with a really obviously Jewish name would "anglicize" it to.
>>219416415How did 'ethnic' become a placeholder term for anyone non Anglo? It comes from the word ethnicity which every single person has including Wasps
>>219416415Fuck no. DiCaprio is like Da Vinci. It rolls off the tongue well. Lenny Williams sounds liena fucking Three Stooges name.
>>219416447Jokes on them. Imagine bullying a dude and then seeing him making millions of dollars and bang nothing but 20 year olds.
>>219416666DiCaprio" is an Italian surname originating from the Campania region, meaning "of/from CaprioI use to live in Italy I miss the weather so much
>>219416447kek
lenny williams is a background character, not a star.
>>219416415"Lenny" is the lamest name.
>>219416415>further proof that agents are time-wasting parasites, no more in tune with the industry than the average consumer, and would be nothing without the agencies they work for.
>>219416666Quads of fpbp
>>219416845I couldn't give 2 shits about the weather but I definitely miss the street walkers
>>219416992You mean the Romanian girls or the African ladies because that all you can find Italian girls are crazy rare.You might find Russian girls and the random girl from Ukraine or Hungary.
>>219416992Well you don't live in Siberia now do you
>>219417162You don't need to live in Siberia to experience the Siberian Husky.
>>219416959
>>219416532Oy vey goy, stop with the persecution
>>219416959ok
>>219416609But we're speaking the wasp's language and any name not in that language sounds "ethnic".
>agent tells him "no one can pronounce Željko Ivanek, you're Ivan Cole now">he tells agent "you're fired now"The great thing about names like his is1. They're memorable 2. No one else in SAG already has thatI mean fuck, Michael T. Williams became Mykelti Williams and William Williams became Billy Dee Williams because they had to, Herbert Middleton Jr became Taurean Blacque because you don't get cop roles with the name Herbert.Billy Crudup, who the fuck names themselves TO that?
>>219418807This guy also insists that his name appears in the credits with the accent mark or whatever you call the squiggly thing above the Z.
>>219418909It changes it from a z-sound to a soft j-sound. It's essential.
>>219416415Lenny Williams sounds so gay, glad he didn't go for that
>>219418909it's called mäkčeň
>>219420010... or "softener"
he's had sex with more 14-year old pussy than you ever will in your life
This is my favorite.
>>219416415I bet the agent was a jew
>>219420111Unless 14 year olds are going extinct there's no reason someone couldn't catch up.
>>219420346Americans (the traditional ones at least) consist of like 15 different european cultures. How did they collectively decide that they all want their culture to be anglo-saxon?
>>219420948it's no longer socially acceptable for adult men to have sex with them
>>219419018nahhh unc is named jelq-o :skull:
but nobody complains when it works out, like Charles Bronson
>>219422931Very uncool name as Charlie Buchowski, very cool name as Charles Bronson. Respect a good decision.
