There’s a new Instagram challenge that’s making the rounds, and Hollywood A-listers are jumping on board.
Everyone from Gwyneth Paltrow to Kerry Washington, Gal Gadot, Naomi Watts, Juliette Lewis, Jennifer Garner, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, and Kyle MacLachlan have participated in the Instagram Reel “That’s Not My Name” trend that highlights their most notable past performances set to a catchy tune.
Seemingly initiated by Clueless star Alicia Silverstone, the actress created an Instagram Reel with the audio of English pop duo The Ting Tings’ 2008 smash-hit “That’s Not My Name.” Beginning with current footage of herself, the caption reads, “My name is Alicia but they call me…”, and continues on with photos featuring her character’s name from her greatest roles.
Piggybacked by Drew Barrymore, and challenged by many more, a slew of Hollywood’s finest hopped on the fun bandwagon. Academy Award winners, nominees, and general fan favorites continued in the viral trend with some using the opportunity to add an extra joke. Jessica Chastain captioned her video, “And on occasion they call me Bryce Howard,” tagging her celebrity lookalike. Idina Menzel included footage of John Travolta’s hysterical 2014 Academy Awards flub, when he accidentally introduced the film actress and Broadway star as Adele Dazeem.
Inadvertently showcasing their wide ranges, these actors have molded their respective crafts across genres, from our favorite rom-coms to thriller horror flicks.
