Peter Gene Hernandez

nickname

Bruno Mars, smaller Elvis

Bruno was the nickname given by his father when he was only two years old. This is due to his resemblance to famous professional chubby wrestler Bruno Sammartino.

Mars was later added when he wanted to pursue his career in music. He’s always gotten the comments like he’s out of this world because of his looks and personality. So Bruno added “Mars” (another planet) to his name.
