Viral That’s Not My Name Trend: Gal Gadot, Deepika Padukone and Others Get on the Trend-Train

Tik Tok and Instagram have been flooding with the viral That’s Not My Name trend. The song by The Ting Tings from their 2008 album We Started Nothing is an old alternative indie-pop song that is rising to gain recognition and fame. Mostly, because celebrities have actively taken the steering wheel of this trend to embrace their acting career. The catchy lyrics “They call me hell. They call me Stacey. They call me Her. They call me Jane. That’s not my name. That’s not my name” have become a musical metaphor for the stars to look back at their best roles.

With so many celebrities doing it every other day and, the song trending loud and clear, let us have a look at who are the ones who did actually nail the trend!

Celebrities doing the viral That’s Not My Name Trend

Alicia Silverstone

It is actually Alicia Silverstone who has inspired half the celebrities to take on the trend. It started with our star posting a video compiling many of her memorable roles on TikTok and Instagram, starting from The Crush to Clueless to Batman & Robin and The Baby-Sitters Club. The Requin star is truly a real-life Cher, we can all agree.

Gal Gadot

Even with Wonder Woman 3 in the making, actress Gal Gadot did not fall behind when it came to being a boss on this trend. She even included her upcoming role in Death on the Nile!

Kyle MacLachlan

We can all agree that Kyle MacLachlan has given us one of the best and most iconic roles ever. Starting from Agent Cooper in Twin Peaks to Paul Atreides in Dune, the man has been a Lynch-limb for all of the legendary director’s projects and, it was truly amazing to see him remember his best.

Deepika Padukone

For the ones who don’t know, Padukone does all her reels in style. With beautiful editing and, quirky text pop-ups, the Gehraiyaan actress’ reel by far is the most visually pleasing one, we can say. Additionally, there is a little twist at the end that you need to watch it!

Drew Barrymore

From E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to Scream to Poison Ivy and so much more, the mother of two and the Golden-Globe winning address gave a good nostalgic trip on how long she has been swooning us with her talent on screen.

Reese Witherspoon

From book club to reel making, it is hardly ever Reese Witherspoon will fall out of trend. The actress remembered her iconic Elle Woods and Madeline Marth Mackenzie in the reel amongst many others. But, we wish there was more Legally Blonde 3 info in that reel, right?

Anushka Sharma

It was surprising to see the actress take part in this trend but, we bet, it was a pleasant one!

Jennifer Garner

From Elektra to Hannah, Garner has played it all and, flaunted it well in her reel, making us all the more excited about her role in Netflix’s upcoming film The Adam Project.

Kerry Washington is a box of talent and, looking at her video can understand why. Every role the actor has played is nailed to perfection, just the way she perfectly nailed this trend.

Gordon Ramsay

From the ‘Guy Who Spits Out Food’ to the ‘Lamb Sauce Guy’, Ramsay can surely make everyone laugh by hopping on this trend-train.
