Demi Moore shocks fans by revealing the ‘correct’ way to pronounce her name

Demi Moore is one of the best-known names in Hollywood thanks to the actress’ illustrious film career over the past forty years.

However, it turns out that most fans have been pronouncing the movie icon’s name wrong this whole time.

As highlighted during a clip from the 62-year-old’s previous appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, there is a definitive way fans should pronounce the Ghost star’s name.

The comedian noted that many would say “Deh-mee,” as with stars like singer Demi Lovato.

However, Moore confirmed that she pronounced her name “Duh-mee” because it “works better” with her last name.

The Substance star explained that both she and Lovato’s families come from similar parts of the US and pronounce their names similarly.

Yet the Striptease star deliberately pronounces her name differently.

“Demi and I had a great conversation about this because she’s from Texas and I’m from New Mexico, so our families say our names the same way,” she told Fallon and the audience in 2017, when the clip recently resurfaced.

She continued, “But we both pronounce it differently individually. It works better with our last names.

For example, ‘Deh-mee Lovato’ sounds really good. And ‘Duh-mee’ Moore sounds really good.”

Moore is just one of many stars who have revealed common pronunciation mistakes with their nicknames.

Last year, former child star Raven-Symoné calmly revealed that her last name is actually “see-mon-ye” instead of “Si-moan.”

The revelation came as a shock to many fans who have followed the now 39-year-old actress’ career since she was a child star on The Cosby Show in 1989.

Elsewhere, Brendan Fraser insisted that ‘no one has ever gotten my name right’ during a chat with Adam Sandler for Variety.

The actor, 56, explained how to pronounce his name after pointing out that most people pronounce his last name as ‘Fray-zsur’, like the TV show Frasier.

He said, ‘It should be like a razor. Like that thing you shave with.”

Similarly, singer Adele revealed that she prefers people to call her ‘uh-dale’ rather than ‘uh-dell’, staying true to her North London roots and accent.

While singer Ariana Grande admitted that she pronounced her last name ‘gran-dee’ growing up.

In fact, the pronunciation in the Grande family has always been “gran-dee,” rather than “gran-day.”

For Euphoria star Zendaya, her name is often mispronounced as ‘Zen-dye-uh.’

However, the correct way to pronounce her name is “Zen-day-yuh.”

As you might expect, Timothée Chalamet’s name is meant to be pronounced in French pronunciation.

Although most fans say his name as ‘Timothy’, the 29-year-old has often confirmed that it should be ‘Timo-tay’.

In an interview with Frank Ocean, he revealed that the actual pronunciation of his full name is “Timo-tay Shala-may.”

Meanwhile, Moore has returned to the spotlight after celebrating her Golden Globes win for best actress for her critically acclaimed performance in body horror film The Substance.

Following her emotional and heartfelt acceptance speech, the Striptease star partied with daughters Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, whom she shares with ex-husband Bruce Willis.
