Jerry O’Connell Poses With Wife Rebecca Romijn’s Ex John Stamos 2 Years After Public Feud
Jerry O’Connell doesn’t stand by his birth name.
In fact, the Stand By Me alum shared that no one in his life calls him by his legal moniker, including his own family.
“Well, my real name is Michael Jeremiah O’Connell,” Jerry shared during a joint appearance with his mom Linda O’Connell on the May 8 episode of Live with Kelly & Mark. “But I was always Jerry.”
His mother agreed, clarifying to host Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that the 52-year-old’s “real name is Michael Jeremiah Witkowski O’Connell.”
“His grandfather is Jeremiah,” explained Linda, whose maiden name is Witkowski, “and our favorite cousin is Jerry DeScipio.”
But she never referred to Jerry by his full name at home—even at times when he crossed her.
“No, I was always a Jerry,” the Kangaroo Jack actor remarked. “Sometimes I look at myself, and I go, ‘yeah, I am a Jerry.’ I don’t look like a Michael, actually.”
Indeed, Jerry was quite the mischief-maker as a kid. As Linda put it, “He was very active, very energetic and always in trouble.”
