When asked to share the correct pronunciation, she said. “Keer-sten…But who cares?”
Other commonly mispronounced celebrity names include Saoirse Ronan (Sur-sha, as the Ladybird actress explained herself), Cillian Murphy (Killian), and Adele (It’s “uh-dale,” not “ah-dell,” she clarified).
Also, in case you want to talk about one of her show-stopping red carpet looks, the actress’ name Zendaya is pronounced “zen-day-ah,” not “zen-die-yah.”
