Zachary Quinto responds to tweet about him using a fake name at Starbucks

Sorry celebrities, but those fake names you're using in cafes to try and disguise yourselves aren't pulling the wool over anyone's eyes.

A few days ago, a student named Sophia tweeted about Zachary Quinto's attempt to go incognito in Starbucks by using the name "Josh". Needless to say, it didn't work.

"When I'm by myself I get a little, like, nervous or self-conscious, I don't know," Quinto explained on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

"Maybe people don't know me and I can go undercover... clearly that's not always the case!"

And as for the Josh choice? Apparently it's the name he most often gets called accidentally, for some reason.
