The “new year, new me” motto was never really something people take seriously or literally. In this case, actor Greg Ellis, decided to change his name back to Jonny Rees last September. Fans of Greg Ellis went to to the web and post on forums asking which was it. One forum user said Rees decided to take it to Twitter to proclaim his real name and says reclaiming his name “feels strange, but authentic.”
Here’s proof that Rees did change his name from Ellis.

Even with the name change, fans still support Rees decision every step of the way.
Jonny Rees is still verified under @ellisgreg for his Twitter account, since @jonnyrees is already taken as a username. It may take a while for him to get his name back on Twitter, now the question is when. Awk-ward.
