See how wrong you have been saying your fav celebs' names!

That's right! You've been betrayed by the grammar!
You will now know how wrong you have been pronouncing your favourite celebs' names!
Don't worry because you're not the only one to say Eva Mendes the wrong way. I've found myself into some situations where I totally stutter.
We would actually need superpowers to guess how to pronounce some of the names!
Let's start, shall we?
If you say "Amanda Seyfried" like "Say-freed" or even "Say-fried", you're actually giving an order to say "fried"! It's SIGH-frid! that's what Amanda would yell at you!
Say Hi to Jake Gyllenhaal! Let's see: you'll probably call him by Gill-en-haal, right? Wrong again!
You have to drop the "G" and say YEE-len-haul!
How big is your love for 30 Seconds to Mars lead singer? Probably not as big as his hair, because you've been mistaking his name. Do you say Jared LEE-toh? Let's hope not, because it's LET-oh, just like the verb! (Jared Leto)
What about Charlize Theron? NO! Stop stressing the "On" ending, because it's Ther-in, not Ther-ON or even Ther-OWN.
I bet you're like "So, what's wrong with Eva Mendes? How can I possibly be wrong about her name?!". Well, She's not Ee-va Mendes, but actually Ay-va Mendes! YES, I know... How could we possibly know this?!
Let's see next... Oh, right! Are you a fan of Frozen? If so, you know who Idina Menzel is! I bet you've just read it like "Eye-DEE-na", have you not? Not so fast! You MUST read it like "ah-DEE-na", that's the right way!
Just another tip, drop the H sound in Lindsay LoHAN and RiHanna. It's actually "LOW-en" and "Ree-ANN-uh"!

Now, let's check the hardest and the most impossible ones to have a clue!
You know Lord Vold... Who-Must-Not-be-Named, right? Of course you do! It's Ralph Fiennes, or shall I say "Rayf Fyns"? Yes, I shall!
Do you buy a lot of "Ralph La-REN" clothes? I suggest you to buy a lot of pronunciation classes because it's actually Law-ren. It's ok! A lot of people say it that way! (Ralph Lauren)
Oh yes! This one is so mind-blowing! Ryan Fill-EEP, right? Well, add up some more magic powder to this one because it's Ryan FILL-uh-PEE! (BOOM BOOM Ryan Phillippe!)
Didn't you just love Shia LaBeouf in "Elastic Heart" by Sia? Well I did! But, how do you say his name? It's not Shee-ah La-Bo or La-Boof, but Shy-uh Luh-BUFF! And so it is Zoh-ee DAY-Shan-ell, not Zoo-ee DEE-Shan-ell (Zooey Deschanel).
And for Kim Kardashian, it's still pronounced "Slut", but you know this one, for sure!

Very nice everyone! CLASS DISMISSED!
