You know when you name a celebrity based on something that just reminds you of them? Sometimes it's a character they played so well that they immediately and immortally become THAT person, or naming them something after a distinct feature they have.
Kind of like the way we call Lisa Kudrow "Phoebe" or Patrick Dempsey "McDreamy" or Beyoncé "Queen Bey" or even calling Jason Momoa "My future husband" (...wait, that's just me, isn't it?)
