Hollywood actor Zoe Saldana, in a recent interview, has revealed that she was once advised to go adopt a stage name when she first became an actor. Saldana told Entertainment Weekly that during the early days in her career, around the time she landed her first major acting role in 'Center Stage', she was told it would benefit her career to change her name.

"When I did Center Stage, I remember being discouraged by my management at that time to use my name," said Saldana. The actor further stressed that her team was not trying to be malicious at the time and said, "But their intention was never for me to stop being who I am. They celebrated who I was."
