Hey, it's Donnie. I was doing some morning show prep and noticed it was Vin Diesel's birthday today. This dude has the coolest name in Hollywood. I did a little research and noticed that Vin Diesel is just a stage name. I had a feeling it was but I thought he first name was at least Vince or Vincent. Neither are the case.
His real name is Mark Sinclair. I think his career would be much different as Mark Sinclair... it doesn't have the same level of toughness as Vin Diesel.
Finding out that Vin uses a stage name got me thinking... What other celebs use fake names?
I created a list below of some of the most famous people...
