Keanu Reeves' Brief Name Change Revealed: "Welcome to Hollywood"

In a recent interview, acclaimed actor Keanu Reeves disclosed that he briefly changed his name as a young performer, a common practice in Hollywood known as a "welcome to Hollywood" moment. Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston has been selected to star in the upcoming Apple TV+ series based on Jennette McCurdy's memoir "I'm Glad My Mom Died." Aniston was "immediately intrigued" by the opportunity, as she and the former iCarly actress share a similar experience with their mothers.

Aniston, who will also serve as an executive producer on the project, praised McCurdy's memoir as "so beautifully written" and noted that the fact the young woman has "lived that life is nothing short of remarkable." The series will chronicle the "codependent relationship between an 18-year-old actress in a hit kids' show, and her narcissistic mom who relishes in her identity as a starlet's mother," with Aniston portraying the mother.

Both Aniston and McCurdy have openly discussed their difficult relationships with their mothers in the past. Aniston has previously spoken about her mother, Nancy Dow, being "very critical" of her and "very unforgiving," while McCurdy's memoir delves into her abusive upbringing. The shared experiences between the two actresses are expected to lend authenticity and depth to the upcoming Apple TV+ series.
