But beyond the romantic images and heartfelt captions lies a lesser-known detail about the groom, his unforgettable
full name
.
Why is his name so unusual?
While fans know him as Josh Lucas, his full name is Joshua Lucas
Easy Dent Maurer
, and yes, "Easy Dent" is part of his legal middle name. The reason? It's tied to a rather comical (and slightly painful) story from the day he was born.
As Lucas once shared with the Los Angeles Times in 2006, his birth was so fast and smooth that his parents added 'Easy' to his name.
But during delivery, the doctor reportedly accidentally knocked the newborn's head against a bedpost, leaving a small dent, hence the second part: 'Dent.' The name stuck, and his parents, who led a nontraditional, countercultural lifestyle, chose to make it official.
A Career built on versatility
Josh Lucas began his acting journey at 19 after moving to Hollywood. He appeared in popular TV shows like True Colors, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, and Life Goes On, before landing roles in films such as Alive and Father Hood.
His career gained momentum with performances in A Beautiful Mind, Glory Road, and Poseidon. Lucas also took on international projects, including a notable role in Australia's Snowy River: The McGregor Saga.
What is Josh Lucas's Net worth?
According to The Richest, Lucas has amassed a net worth of $16 million through decades in film and television. Beyond acting, he co-founded Filthy Food with friends Marc and Danielle Singer, showing interest in ventures outside Hollywood.

Always and forever: The Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley gets engaged to Natalie Kuckenburg
Los Angeles [US], July 20 (ANI): The Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley has announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend and model Natalie Kuckenburg. Wesley took to Instagram on Saturday to share a photo with Natalie, who can be seen flaunting her engagement ring. The announcement came with a glimpse into the couple's romantic Italian getaway. The 25-year-old also confirmed the news on her Instagram handle, posting a picture of her hand being held by Wesley. "Yes. Always and forever," she captioned the photo, showcasing a stunning oval-cut diamond engagement ring. The engagement came on the heels of the couple's recent Italian vacation. They shared pictures of their getaway earlier this week. "A beautiful time in Tuscany," Paul wrote in his Instagram post, when Natalie chimed, "The best time!!" According to a report by People, Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenburg have been together for a while now, but were first linked in 2022, when they were spotted spending time in Nerano, Italy. It was on Valentine's Day 2023 that Natalie shared a picture with the actor, confirming their romance in public. Ever since, the couple has never failed to give each other sweet shoutouts on social media and express their love. In a March 2024 interview with People, Wesley described Natalie as "the funniest person" and emphasised the importance of laughter in their relationship. "I think the reason we get along so well is because all we do is laugh, and I think it's probably one of the most important things in a relationship," he said. Paul Wesley was previously married to Ines de Ramon. The actor filed for divorce in February 2023 after a "mutual decision." (ANI)

Exclusive - Abhishek Kumar reacts to ex-girlfriend Isha Malviya's entry on Laughter Chefs 2; says 'Aisa portray hojaata hoga that we hate each other but there is...'
Laughter Chef Season 2, known for its fun themes and celebrity guests, is set to feature some of television's most beloved on-screen bahus. However, what's creating the biggest buzz online is Isha Malviya's much-anticipated entry. Her appearance has caught everyone's attention as it marks the first time she comes face-to-face with her exes, Abhishek Kumar and Samarth Jurel, since their dramatic stint on Bigg Boss 17. Recently, in an exclusive interview with the Times of India TV, Abhishek Kumar and Samarth reacted to their meeting with ex-girlfriend Isha Malviya on Laughter Chefs season 2 semi-finale. Reacting to the reunion, he said, "It was a very good moment and I was the one who took the initiative to talk to her. Krushna bhai took us towards Isha to dance on her popular song. Woh gaana kitna viral hogaya hai. She is doing some great work and I feel everyone is doing good job in their respective space. Shayad aisa portray hojaata hoga that we hate each other but there is nothing like that. Nobody hates anyone and we all are somehow connected to each other. " He added, "It is a very small industry and kabhi na kabhi ek dusre se takrana hai so we took everything very normally. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You To Read in 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Even she (Isha) handled everything in a good way. I would like to tell the viewers to please watch the semi-finale it is going to be an amazing episode." Samarth dodged the question and chose to refrain from commenting on the topic. Abhishek continued, "We both were comfortable when she came on the show. There was no awkward moment on the show and we knew that she was going to come for an episode, she also knew that she was coming on our show. So mentally we were prepared and we knew as the creative team had informed us." Samarth Jurel and Abhishek Kumar, who had a major fallout during Bigg Boss 17 due to their shared history with Isha Malviya, surprised many by mending their differences and forming a friendship after the show ended. Commenting on their newfound bond, Samarth said, "When two people have a clean heart we automatically bond with the other person." Abhishek added about their bond, "Jab aapko pata hota hai ke ye bhi ussi cheez se guzra hai ek time par toh thodi bahot caring ek dusre ke liye ban jaati hai. We never put any extra effort, we developed a bond automatically with each other. We both have become so comfortable with each other, you can sense that through our interviews also, we know how to react when we are together. Like Sudeshji and Krushna bhai, I feel our bond is also very organic. It has worked for us." For the uninitiated, Abhishek Kumar and Isha Malviya fell in love with each other while working together on Udaariyaan. However, they had an ugly break-up. Later, Isha developed feelings for Samarth Jurel and they started dating, but they broke-up after Bigg Boss 17. Rubina, Samarth Join Laughter Chefs
