Brian Austin Green reveals hilarious truth behind his name
Turns out, Brian Austin Green is not actually… Austin.
Yep. The Beverly Hills, 90210 star just dropped a surprisingly chaotic (and hilarious) origin story behind his name – and it involves labor room negotiations, SAG rules, and a near career-ending set of initials.
Speaking on the Pod Meets World podcast, Green revealed his name was basically improvised mid-birth.
“My mom had a whole name planned for me… and my dad—who smoked a lot of pot at this point in life—while my mom was in the middle of labor, he came forward, and he was like, ‘Can we name him Brian?’”
Safe to say, his mom wasn’t in the mood to argue.
“whatever the f–k” his dad wanted, she said. “Just get him out of me.”
And just like that… Brian Green was born. No middle name. No backup plan.
That became a problem later when he tried joining the Screen Actors Guild.
“I don’t think you can be in the union with the same name as somebody else,” he explained, after discovering — of course — there was already a Brian Green.
Cue the naming crisis.
“We almost named me Brian Peter Green… but then my initials would have been P… Brian P. Green… and they’re like, that’s probably not a good start.”
Yeah. Hard pass.
Eventually, the solution came from the least glamorous place: possible: a map.
“Brian Green is not a very easy name to come up with a middle name for,” he admitted — but “Austin” stuck.
As for the other Brian Green? Let’s just say younger him wasn’t thrilled.
“I wished [for] his demise when I was younger… I didn’t realize that was a terrible thing to wish upon anybody.”
From no middle name to Austin – honestly, that’s showbiz.

UN warns migratory freshwater fish numbers are spiralling
Migratory freshwater fish populations crucial to river health and sustaining the livelihoods of millions of people are in freefall and risk collapse, a major UN assessment warned on Tuesday.
Habitat destruction, overfishing and water pollution from the Amazon to the Danube threaten the very survival of hundreds of species whose epic voyages along the world´s great rivers go largely unnoticed.
Freshwater fish face multiple threats, said the report published at the opening of the COP15 summit on migratory species in Brazil, making them “among the most imperilled vertebrates”.
Populations of Mekong giant catfish, European eel and various sturgeon species are among those that have been decimated in recent decades due to man-made pressures that include the construction of dams and harvest for caviar.
Some — including the Chinese paddlefish — have already been declared extinct, while others are functionally reliant on captive breeding stock and reintroductions to support wild populations.
According to conservation group WWF, migratory freshwater fish numbers have plunged some 81% since 1970.
These fish — a vital protein source for people and animals around the globe — require unimpeded passage to move between spawning and feeding grounds, which can span across borders.
This means international cooperation is needed to arrest their decline.
The report, by the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS), identifies nearly 350 migratory fish species that could benefit from greater protection under the international framework.
Species including salmon, eels, and lampreys are among those to be considered during the March 23-29 meeting in Campo Verde.
Of these, the vast majority are found in Asia, followed by South America and Europe.
The river basins deemed priorities are the Amazon and La Plata-Parana in South America, the Danube in Europe, the Mekong and the Ganges-Brahmaputra in Asia and the Nile in Africa.
“This assessment shows that migratory freshwater fish are in serious trouble, and that protecting them will require countries to work together to keep rivers connected, productive, and full of life,” said Zeb Hogan, the lead author of the assessment, in a statement.

Prince William shares message as Meghan tests future King’s patience
Kensington Palace shared Prince William’s message after Meghan Markle invited the future King’s wrath.
On March 24, the Prince of Wales’ team issued an update on their official Instagram page related to the future King’s key engagement.
“Today, presenting honours for outstanding service at Windsor Castle,” the message reads.
It is pertinent to note that this new update from Prince William’s office came after the Duchess of Sussex’s true feelings on royal titles threat were unveiled.
William, who is seeking to completely sever ties with the controversial members of his family, must have found Meghan’s reaction daring.
Closer reported that the Duchess is sure that King Charles is not stripping off the Sussexes’ titles any time soon, especially during the Andrew crisis.
Prince William “clashed” with his father over the treatment given to Harry and Meghan despite the fact that they have “inflicted so much grief and stress on the family…”
However, Meghan knows that once the Prince of Wales ascends the throne, the situation will probably change, which will not be in favour of the Sussexes.
An insider warned the Duchess about her daring moves, claiming, “If she keeps taunting them and testing their limits this way, she could very well force Charles’ hand and the axe will fall a lot sooner than she’s expecting.”
