Celebrity names

Celebrities are always referred to by their full names. Unless they have single names as their formal names like Cher, Madonna, and Prince, they are always referred to with their entire name. Tom Cruise is rarely referred to as just “Tom”, it’s always “Tom Cruise.” Nobody wants any other Tom that practices Scientology and acted in the Mission Impossible movies to be confused with Tom Cruise. Some celebrities are referred to by their ENTIRE name – this includes the middle name. Kristen Scott Thomas, Daniel Day Lewis, and Sarah Jessica Parker REALLY don’t want anyone to confuse them with anyone else. Even make believe celebrities like Ronald McDonald and Big Bird use their full names. I guess it would be difficult to figure out which yellow bird kids were talking about if they just called him “Big”.
