The latest TikTok trend circulating the platform is a playful take on The Ting Tings‘ 2007 hit “That’s Not My Name,” in which participants list all the nicknames and mispronunciations that others have derived from their actual names.
Unlike many TikTok trends, the “That’s Not My Name” meme has gotten the attention of countless music, TV and film stars, who have put their own spin on the trend by listing the names of characters they’ve played throughout their career.
It all started with Alicia Silverstone, who paid homage to her roles as Cher in Clueless, Batgirl in Batman & Robin, Sharon Spitz on the animated show Braceface and, of course, her cameo in Aerosmith‘s “Cryin” music video.
Soon enough, Christina Aguilera, LL Cool J, Drew Barrymore, Idina Menzel, Jennifer Garner, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Jessica Alba and many, many more celebrities shared their own strolls down Hollywood’s memory lane.
We’ve compiled all the celebrity takes on the “That’s Not My Name” trend. See them below.
