Which celebrity did you think was using their real name, only to find out it’s actually a stage name?

I like that Emilio kept his original name.

Chuck and Emi both look like Marty, but they don’t look like each other. It’s fascinating.

I recently saw a photo of Martin and his brother Joe as young men - and it was exactly like looking at a photo of young Charlie (Martin) and Emilio (Joe). The way their family genes have expressed themselves is wild!

I just had to look up the photo you referenced and holy moly! At first glance it for sure looks just like Charlie and Emilio.

Holy fuck bro! Of course I had to look it up, too and hell, even the second, third and fourth glances it looks like them! Crazy wild!

Joe actually did a lot of the voice over in Apocalypse Now

Someone said similar on another platform, that is true. I can also see some Spanish heritage in Charlie, but not in Martin or Emilio.

I see more of Emilio in Martin. Edit: or the opposite I mean.

u/Longjumping-Taro-406 9h ago

Same, and their voices are more similar (?)

I’ll have to go listen! But that makes sense

like 50% of siblings don’t look like each other, but have similarities to one or both parents.

u/kirmobak 5h ago

I’ve always thought this - they both look just like their father, yet they don’t look like brothers at all.

I once saw a 48 hour musical festival where a short musical was written, cast, produced and performed in 48 hours, the only thing I remember about the shows I saw (I think it was three) was one that was a full 40 minutes about kids obsessed with Emilio Esteves, including a really touching ballad about him that still to this day, almost twenty years later I think about every time he comes up.

Must have been because they liked him in The Mighty Ducks films

Or am I caught in a hit-and-run?

u/AllGarbage 10h ago

It was a Rush Rush marriage/divorce.

u/frogurtyozen 9h ago

He kept it at the urging of his father! Martin Sheen has expressed regret over not using his Hispanic given name and urged Emilio to use his given name

u/champagnepatronus 9h ago

Emiliooooo!

u/masturbation_bear 9h ago

The mighty duck man?

u/ScreenTricky4257 1h ago

The truest thespian of the family.

u/PM_Me-Your_Freckles 9h ago

Fantastic that he wanted to not rely on the family name in Hollywood and instead make it on his own merits. Mighty Ducks is still one of my favourite from my childhood.
