Her birth name might be Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, and we know her as Katy Perry, but I’m betting you didn’t know that people in China call the Grammy-nominated artist Fruit Sister.<\/p>\n

According to an article from CNN<\/a>, people in China like to call Katy Perry<\/a>\u201cshui guo jie,\u201d which means Fruit Sister, because of her love for food-themed costumes. As you’ll no doubt remember, she’s sported watermelon-cup bras and burst out of a giant banana, so she must be a huge fan of fruit, right?<\/p>\n

Funnily enough, Katy Perry is not the only major celebrity to have recieved a rather unique nickname from Chinese people.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Lopez is called Lord of Butt<\/h2>\n

Jennifer Lopez<\/a> is known for a number of things: Her shaky relationship with Ben Affleck, her desperate attempts to cling to fame, and, of course, that butt. She’s even got it insured for $28 million, so naturally, people in China have turned to calling Jennifer Lopez, \u201cluo ba,\u201d which translates to Lord of Butt.<\/p>\n

The nickname is also a bit of a pun, because \u201cLuo ba\u201d sounds the same as how Chinese people say her last name, \u201cLuo pei zi.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, Benedict Cumberbatch is called Curly Blessing<\/h2>\n
