Katherine Heigl reveals she prefers being called by a different name; Says new name is ‘super cute and smiley’
Katherine Heigl recently revealed that she prefers to be called by another name instead of her actual name as its more “adult”.
Firefly Lane actress Katherine Heigl recently made a bizarre revelation! While promoting her new Netflix series, the 42-year-old actress explained that she doesn’t go by “Katherine” in her personal life. While talking to Drew Barrymore, she said: “No one calls me Katherine. It sounds much more sophisticated right? Like an adult named Katherine,” Katherine shared on The Drew Barrymore Show. “It helps me separate my work from me if that makes sense. I just had to embrace it.”
Katherine and Drew started talking about Katherine‘s name when Drew mentioned her friend Katie – and compared it to how this Oscar-winning actress recently revealed that she prefers being called by a different name. “I think Katherine is so regal… and then Katie is like super cute and smiley,” Drew said. “Do you feel like you have those two women running around inside you?” “I do. I do feel that way,” Katherine responded. “I feel like I can present as Katherine when I need to but most of the time I am just Katie.”
If you missed it, back in 2018, Katherine Heigl spoke up about turning 40. Heigl celebrated her 40th birthday on November 24 and commemorated the occasion with an introspective social media post. The actress shared photographs from her birthday soiree. Standing in front of huge silvery balloons of the number 40, she grinned as she posed in a sweater and jeans, reported dailymail.co.uk. "Well... I am officially 40 years old. I know you are going to think I'm full of it but the truth is... I'm pretty damn thrilled to be 40," she began her post.
A candlelit room provided a festive backdrop for the former "Grey's Anatomy" star's bash. "For one thing, as my mother always says 'Getting older is better than the alternative'. Too true mother, too true," she wrote. "For another thing, 40 feels to me like a certain kind of freedom. Freedom from all the self doubt, insecurities, self loathing, uncertainties and anxieties of my 20s and 30s."
