Fans weren’t feeling all that smart after finding out that former adᴜlt star Mia Khalifa isn’t actually named, well… that.

While she’s still one of the most identifiable adᴜlt stars online, she was only active for three months, 11 years ago. And, despite her short stint, relative to other names, Mia is more famous than most seasoned actors and veterans.

Surprisingly, however, her birth name is nothing close and is far less exciting.

Mia’s actual name is Sarah Joe Chamoun. So we see why it wouldn’t work…

The OF standout let it slip in an old Instagram bio, leaving folks stunned. LadBible scooped some quotes from social media, with one fan suggesting everyone was “stupid” for believing it was her real name.

“Her name isn’t Mia?!” one asked.

“How stupid do you feel believing her real name was Mia Khalifa,” said a second.

“I honestly didn’t even know that wasn’t her real name until I looked it up just now,” another confessed.

Of course, Mia is not the only adᴜlt star who goes by a stage name. But hers is perhaps unique, as she says she used to have a dog named Mia, while Khalifa roughly translates to successor, ruler, or leader in Arabic.

While it’s pretty strong, it was inspired by rapper Wiz Khalifa.

Fearne Cotton has broken her silence on split from husband Jesse Wood in her first TV interview since the breakup.

Joining Lorraine Kelly on Monday’s episode of the ITV show, the TV presenter, 43, also gave an health update after having two tumours removed from jaw.

Fearne announced her split from Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones bass guitarist Ronnie Wood, in December after 10 years of marriage.

She has since made swipes at Jesse and moved on with TV director Elliot Hegarty, with the pair having been seen kissing during a recent night out.

Fearne has had a difficult few months after undergoing surgery to remove two benign tumours from her jawline, just days before her split with Jesse emerged.

She told host Lorraine: ‘It’s all very amicable and kids are doing great. I am in a very good place.’place.’

Discussing her recent surgery, she added: ‘I feel very grateful to have completely recovered.

‘I feel really good. I have a lot of people reaching out who have had the same thing.’

Davina McCall, 56, announced in November she’d been diagnosed with a colloid cyst, a rare type of benign brain tumour, and has supported Fearne.

She continued: ‘Everyone needs a Davina. She’s been amazing, weird that we had the same health thing going on at the same time. She’s so calming and we speak every day. She is just the best

It comes after Fearne has seemingly made another thinly-veiled dig at her ex-husband as she gushed that she is the happiest she’s ever been in a positive update.

Speaking to Scott Mills on his BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Fearne gushed that she is ‘really happy’ and is ‘springing out of bed in the morning ready for life’.

Scott, who has known Fearne for 25 years, said he has never seen her ‘more positive or happier’, prompting Fearne to agree and reply: ‘Yeah I feel great!’
