A crazy fan in the UK has legally changed his name to Celine Dion after getting drunk.
The 30-year-old Thomas Dodd told The Post that he came up with the idea while drinking and watching a TV concert by the 52-year-old Canadian singer on Christmas Eve.
“She [is] my go-to person I listen to when I need cheering up,” he told The Post via Twitter.
According to him, he spent much of the pandemic watching concerts while at home, including one by Celine Dion over the holiday.

While enjoying the show, he spent £89 ($122) and officially took Celine Dion‘s name via an online application.
“I honestly, hand on heart, don’t remember doing it!” he said. “I remember watching the concert and remember getting rather tipsy.”
Days later, he came home from work as a hospitality manager in Staffordshire, England, to find an envelope with documentation waiting for him.
“I wasn’t aware I had done it until I found that envelope in my post,” he explained. “Initially, I had to sit down as I couldn’t believe it — so I then checked my bank which confirmed it all.”
“Once it sunk in, I signed it straightaway as I bloody love her!” he said.
However, one person who initially was not amused by the change was his mom.
“My mother wasn’t best pleased at first, but now she sees the funny side!” he said. “My friends have said they are not surprised! It was only a few week[s] back I hired an Elsa [from ‘Frozen’] tribute to perform on my driveway for me when I was drunk because I was bored! Anything is possible!”
