Nicolas Cage

20 celebrities who changed their name for a career: from Nicolas Cage to Julianne Moore Did you know that Nicolas Cage's real name is Nicholas Kim Coppola? At the beginning of his career, the actor changed his name to hide his relationship with director Francis Ford Coppola.

Only in 1993, while working on the recording of an English-language album, the woman decided to finally become Valeria, since the name Alla was very hard to hear.

Ani Lorak

Tutta Larsen
