The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White FAILS Ayo Edebiri’s Real Name Quiz | E! News

Ayo Edebiri hilariously stumped her ‘The Bear’ costar Jeremy Allen White in GQ’s ‘Friendship Quiz,’ admitting her birth name is Funmilayo Edebiri after her longtime colleague came up short. “There’s Ayo in it, but it’s not your name,” White said, trying to recall her birth name. “Your first name is not Ayo. The last three letters of your first name is Ayo.” To be fair, it seemed the ‘Shameless’ alum’s head was still in the kitchen during the quiz. After all, he also forgot her birthday when asked about the date. It’s “October 3rd,” Edebiri quipped before jokingly adding, “I’m gonna smoke your ass.” As the Nigerian American actress has previously noted, her name has a layered meaning. “Ayo means ‘joy,’” she told W Magazine in 2025. “It’s short for Funmilayo, which means ‘Give me joy.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1433747/the-bears-ayo-edebiri-reveals-real-name-is-funmilayo-edebiri
