Baby Bear is probably one of the most famous babies in the world and also one of the more unusually named ones as well!
Liam and Cheryl welcomed Bear back in March and has both amused and confused their fans with their name choice. So, why did Liam choose to name his son Bear? He has recently told us the reason behind Bear’s name on the “Late Late Show with James Corden.”
“You know what? When he was born, I think one of the midwives said it, he actually has this thing where if they don’t have a good cry, they get fluid on their lungs which is quite serious,” Liam explained. “He was going ‘grrr’, growling away when he was sleeping, so I had specialists running in and out of the hospital while my missus was asleep and he was being checked over. They were like, ‘Oh, I’m not really sure, we’ll get someone else in’.”
“And I had like, ten doctors coming in the room and in the end, one guy was like: ‘Dude I’m not being funny, there’s nothing wrong with him – he just likes to make a lot of noise.’ And that’s carried on ever since – so he just became Bear. And children live out their name, and he’s humongous!” he continued.
We’ll consider that mystery solved!
