How it's used
Names of celebrities are treated as proper nouns and do not require any special particles or classifiers when used in a sentence. When discussing actors, it is common to pair their name with verbs like 拍戲 or 做主角 to describe their professional work. Using the full name is standard, as nicknames are generally reserved for those with whom you have a personal relationship.
