Hilarious meme reveals the 'real' names of your favorite celebrities

It's been over a year since the good people of Twitter were shocked to learn that Jamie Foxx's real name is actually Eric Marlon Bishop.

Foxx is one of many famous faces to employ new names upon entering certain echelons of Hollywood — but in a hilarious meme, fans are using celebrity stage names to guess the "real" names behind the star.

SEE ALSO: Meme perfectly explains the difference between freshman and and senior year

For example, Ice Cube was born O'Shea Jackson Sr., but if you ask Twitter this week, his "real name" is Icelandic Cubicle. Hence, the nickname Ice Cube.
