The giant hack of Sony Pictures exposed the studio in a big way. People’s lives were uprooted and put on public display…
But one new leak that has surfaced may put Hollywood celebrities on high alert: documents revealing the secret alias names they use for daily activities…this is spicy.
In the latest batch of files leaked by a hacking group known as “Guardians of Peace,” there is a folder containing “publicity bibles” for many recently released Sony Pictures films. These documents, which are compiled and distributed among film staff, serve as contact directories for the duration of filming. They include phone numbers and e-mail addresses for directors, producers, publicists, cast members, and crew. And, in some cases, they include the false names stars assume in order to protect their privacy.
Here are some of the aliases revealed publicly by the documents:
Tom Hanks: goes by “Harry Lauder” and “Johnny Madrid” (the former of which was the name of a famous Scottish comedian, and the latter of which may be a reference to a character on Lancer, a 1960s Western series)
Sarah Michelle Gellar: goes by “Neely O’Hara” (probably a Valley of the Dolls reference)
Tobey Maguire: goes by “Neil Deep”
Natalie Portman: goes by “Lauren Brown”
Clive Owen: goes by “Robert Fenton” (his wife’s name is Sarah-Jane Fenton)
Rob Schneider: goes by “Nazzo Good” (not so good – get it?)
Taye Diggs: goes by “Scott Diggs” (his real name)
Jude Law: goes by “Mr. Perry”
Daniel Craig: goes by “Olwen Williams” (an homage to his grandfather, Olwyn Williams)
Jessica Alba: goes by “Cash Money” (What?!)
Ice Cube: goes by “Darius Stone” and “O’Shea Jackson” (the former of which was his character’s name in XXX: State of the Union, and the latter of which is his actual name)
Debra Messing: goes by “Ava Harper”
There are some absolute beauts in that list – Jessica Alba as…”Cash Money”? That’s wonderful.
These A-listers are going to have to think of new aliases now after being hacked. They must be peeved…
None more so than Sylvester Stallone, who had his Social Security numbers exposed in the hack. It’s safe to say Sony Pictures may not be the most popular studio among Hollywood’s elite right now.
