Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis has explained why he has not used his real first name for years.
Finally, on whether Ted Lasso will return to TV screens for a fourth season, Sudeikis said that’s something even “Wikipedia might not know”.
The award-winning writer joked: “I’m Daniel Jason and my dad is Daniel Joseph, so my mom decided to call me Jason so we knew which one she was yelling at.”
Speaking to Today, Sudeikis said that since he shares the name Daniel with his father, his mother uses his middle name, “Jason”, to distinguish between them.
