In this clever rebranding commercial for Aviva Insurance, formerly Norwich Union, Bruce Willis asks with comical sarcasm, “Would Walter Willis have gotten to play the leading man?” The premise of ‘Aviva:  Changing the Name’ was to focus on how a name change can be beneficial.

Other stars who reveal their real names instead of their stage names in the Aviva commercial are Elle MacPherson, real name Eleanor Gow; Alice Cooper who inquires, “Whoever heard of a glam-rock star called Vincent Furnier?; and Ringo Starr, originally Richard Starkey.

Very cool idea. Who knew Bruce Willis was a stage name?

I didn't, lol. The only one that really stood out to me as a stage name was Ringo Starr.
