What is Marylin Manson's real name?

The answer is: Brian Hugh Warner. Despite the uncanny resemblance, Marylin Manson did not play Josh in The Wonder Years (that was Paul Joshua Pfeiffer). But his real name is decidedly less cooler and much more plain than his made-up one. He was turned onto music while attending Christian school when teachers showed kids what they shouldn’t be listening to — and immediately fell in love with the forbidden music.Source
