Fans love to call themselves with the name of the character. But do you even, singing sensation Justin Bieber used the name while checking in the hotels.
Yes, that’s true! It’s a common practice between celebs as they don’t reveal their real identity while checking in hotels. The reason is obvious because it can cause them inconvenience as fans take no time to stand outside hotels in huge crowds.

Talking to Hollywood Reporter, he revealed that Chandler Bing aka Matthew Perry played a significant role in getting Julia Roberts on board. He said, “Do you know the story of how we got her? Matthew (Perry) asked her to be on the show.” Marta Kauffman who was also a part of the interview added, “She wrote back to him, ‘Write me a paper on quantum physics, and I’ll do it.’ My understanding is that Matthew went away and wrote a paper and faxed it to her the next day.”
