Sorry, But You’ve Been Mispronouncing All of These Celebrity Names

Turns
out
sometimes
even
werewolves
get
a
case
of
the
scaries.

Because
if
we’re
being
honest,
we’re
still
a
little
shook
by


Taylor
Lautner
‘s

revelation

that
he
allowed
his
legions
of
fans
to
mispronounce
his
name
(FYI:
it’s
Lout-ner,
not

Lawt
-ner) more
or
less
to
keep
the
peace. 

“I
never
corrected
anybody
for
decades,”
the


Twilight

star
admitted
in
a
July
2023
episode
of


The
Unplanned
Podcast
With
Matt
&
Abby
,
speculating
that the
first
time
it
happened
was
around
age
11, “like
after

Sharkboy
and
Lavagirl.
“

As
Taylor,
now
32,
added, “I
wasn’t
gonna
tell
people
they
were
pronouncing
my
name
wrong.”

And
he’s
not
the
only
one
not
to
let
his
claws
out
over
something
as
important
as
his
surname.
Because,
as
it
turns
out,
we’ve
also
been
fumbling
over


Travis
Kelce
 
and


Jason
Kelce
, which
was
news
to
us

and

some
of
Travis’
Kansas
City
Chiefs
teammates.

While
on
the
sidelines
of

the
Chiefs
vs.
Miami
Dolphins
game
last
January
,
defensive
tackle

Chris
Jones
, as
seen
in an Inside
the
NFL
 clip,
told his
teammates, “So
y’all
know
it’s
not
even
Travis
Kel-see?” As
for
what it
is
then? Well,
as
Chris
explained, “It’s
Travis
Kels.
F–king
crazy,
right
?”
