AKA Zowie Bowie, David Bowie's son.

That's correct, but ... there's a reason why he chose to use a different last name :)

Also, "Bowie" was just a fake name, so Duncan didn't inherit it.
AFAIK Bowie himself was still David Robert Jones and never change it legally like most other stars.

Well, “fake” isn’t exactly fair. It was his stage/equity name. He couldn’t go with his actual name because... someone was already using it.

The "someone" was Davy Jones of the Monkees, who were kind of a big deal in the sixties. It's not that he couldn't use it, but he was unhappy as the name caused confusion.

He actually very briefly went by Tom Jones, to the point of doing a photoshoot under that name, before It's Not Unusual came out and forced him to change it again.

Wow that's some bad luck! At least "Bowie" stuck after that, it's a cool name.

Fair point! Stage name is indeed a much better way to put it.

Oh I didn't know that actually. Thanks.
Also, for anyone who is not familiar with Duncan's work, Moon is an amazing movie!

Moon is amazing indeed! He's certainly among my favourite modern directors. Crazy that a son of a rockstar not only turned out to be a pretty normal guy, but also got lots of recognition purely out of talent.
