James Gunn's hilarious reaction to Trisha Paytas christening her son Aquaman — and what worries him about it!
The internet celebrity has been making headlines for 3 years on the trot, owing to the truly unique names she has christened her kids with. Married to Israeli collaborative artist, designer and photographer Moses Hacmon, the couple welcomed their first child, a daughter, in September 2022 and rather ceremoniously named her Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon. Yes, you read that right.
Malibu's little sister came along in May 2024 and wowed the digital world with her very own head turning name, Elvis Paytas-Hacmon.
Now if you think Trisha couldn't possibly top these two christenings with more creativity, on July 12, she welcomed her third child but first son, Aquaman Moses Paytas-Hacmon. Now between the three, this one sure seems to take the cake. Now while the internet cracks puns about their homegrown theory — that of Trisha's womb being some sort of soul portal for the reincarnation of supremely relevant historical figures — director James Gunn for one, has a very real concern to share, albeit of course, hilariously.
When asked by Entertainment Tonight, if he had heard about Trisha naming her son Aquaman, he immediately exclaimed, "I saw that yes. I think that's cool! I mean". He was quick to voice his concern too but, adding, "I hope he does okay in school I mean, I had a hard time with the last name Gunn like Tommy Gunn, BB gun, raygun, I'm like, 'ok, we get it' ", which elicited a laugh from everyone.
James was also very invested in the kid having a nickname of sorts so that he wouldn't have to be referred to as Aquaman all the time: "Are they going to call him AQ, what are they going to call him? Won't he get made fun of in school? Do kids make fun of kids anymore?", he asked cluelessly.
Frank Grillo however, whom James only recently directed in Superman, had more faith in the situation than James, asserting, "He's going to be fine. Especially if he lives up in New York where I grew up, he'll be fine".
Well, we wish little Aquaman a lot of love!

Travis Kelce slams Ryan Reynolds' 'fake Hollywood persona' amid Taylor Swift's explosive rift with Blake Lively
Travis Kelce may be living a fairytale romance with global superstar Taylor Swift , but not all of her inner circle seems to mesh with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. According to a new report, Kelce is intentionally distancing himself from Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively — two of Swift's closest celebrity friends — due to what insiders describe as a clash in values and lifestyle preferences. Travis Kelce allegedly unfollowed Ryan Reynolds and stepped back from Hollywood's 'curated' circle A source close to the situation told celebrity columnist Rob Shuter that Kelce 'never really clicked' with Reynolds and Lively, despite sharing memorable double dates and even attending the Super Bowl together with Swift. According to the insider, Kelce is all about a 'frill-free' and 'grounded' life that reflects his Midwestern roots — an outlook that reportedly doesn't align with Reynolds' polished, A-list world. The source claimed Kelce finds Reynolds 'more Hollywood than human' and believes he doesn't belong in their 'curated celebrity world.' Adding fuel to the speculation, fans noted earlier this year that Kelce unfollowed Reynolds on Instagram — a quiet move that coincided with a growing rift between Swift and Lively following Lively's legal clash with her It Ends With Us co-star, Justin Baldoni. Tensions may be rooted in Blake Lively's legal battle and Baldoni's controversial countersuit The turning point in these celebrity dynamics appears to have been Blake Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, filed in December. In a surprising twist, Baldoni countersued for $400 million and named Swift in the filings, even subpoenaing her — though the subpoena was later withdrawn and his countersuit dismissed. Since then, reports have indicated that the longtime friendship between Swift and Lively may be irreparably damaged. Kelce, ever loyal to Swift, has reportedly remained by her side. The source added, 'He has always been Team Taylor, and never afraid to show it.' While the public may still see Kelce and Swift as the perfect celebrity couple, it seems not all friendships in their orbit are still intact.
