One match after another breakout star, Chase Infiniti opened up about the unusual origins of her name.
It mixes classic Hollywood with Pixar magic.
The 25-year-old actress shared in an interview with Sunday Times that her first name was inspired by Nicole Kidman’s character Chase Meridian in Batman forever.
Her parents admired the character’s confidence and cool demeanor, which they felt captured the spirit they wanted for their daughter.
The other half of her name came from Buzz Lightyear’s iconic catchphrase i Toy Story: “To infinity and beyond!”
She explained that her parents simply loved the sound of “infinity” and decided to pair it with Chase to eventually create a name that would stand out.
The Indianapolis native has quickly risen to mainstream fame thanks to her role alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the Oscar-nominated film.
She recently attended the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in a pink silk dress, further cementing her place as one of Hollywood’s rising stars.
She also revealed that she introduced DiCaprio to TikTok and K-pop during filming, which later sparked his viral Golden Globes moment when he was seen animatedly discussing K-pop with Teyana Taylor.
