17 Hollywood Names You Still Don't Know How To Pronounce Properly

16. Wes Anderson

Common Mispronunciation: Wes Anderson How It's Actually Pronounced: Wess Anderson Seriously. We're not just screwing with you here. Most people like to say: "Oh, yeah, the new Wes Anderson movie was great" with all the egotism of a Christian Bale interview, when - in fact - it's actually pronounced "Wess." As in: "Wess the shop?" and "North, East, South and Wess." Okay, not those examples at all, but just remember next time you hear somebody saying "Wes" to obnoxiously tell them to add that extra S. They'll love it, we promise.
