Real Name: Joaquín Rafael Bottom

It's hard to believe that Joaquin Phoenix didn't always have his famous family's surname. He was actually born Joaquín Rafael Bottom. But when his parents decided to leave their religious group, they ditched that last name, according to Harper's Bazaar. So, they selected a new one for the entire clan landing on Phoenix instead.
