Alicia Silverstoneis setting the record straight for anyone who might be clueless about how to pronounce her name.
On Thursday, the 44-year-old actress shared a video on TikTok clarifying the correct pronunciation of her name, thanks to a challenge on the social media platform: “Tell me what your name is and then tell me what people mispronounce it as.”
Silverstone appears in the clip dressed in black saying, “My name is Ali-SEE-yuh… Not Alee-Sha,” she told her followers while shrugging with a smile and the caption, “Just an FYI.”
She also commented under the post saying, “It doesn’t bother me though! But my sweet mama didn’t like it…so for her…get it right! Ali-SEE-yuh😝💕,” mentioning her mother Didi Silverstone.
The creator of the challenge, Mahogany Lox, also commented on the post thanking her for posting and revealing that she’s a huge fan.
“Omg thank you for stitching my video!!! Clueless is one of my all time fav movies. I even got a white Jeep and named it Cher!!! my heart,” she said. Silverstone replied saying, “So cute.”
In the clip, she struts to the tune ofNo Doubt’s “Just a Girl” while rocking a yellow plaid jacket in honor of her character Cher Horowitz from the 1995 teen comedy.
Bear, 10 — who Silverstone shares with ex-husbandChristopher Jarecki— then comes into frame to put his arm around his mom’s shoulder before she pushes him away and mimics Cher’s memorable line, “Ew, get off of me! Ugh, as if!” The pair then makes up and hugs as the clip comes to a close.
