1. How Did Meat Loaf Get His Nickname?The performer was born Marvin Lee Aday on September 27, 1947 in Dallas, Texas. Although a number of different anecdotes have popped up over the origin of Marvin’s nickname, he told Oprah Winfrey in 2016 it came from his father. “I got it when I was four days old ― not the ‘Loaf’ part, just the ‘Meat,’” he revealed. “I was born bright red, so the doctor suggested that they should keep me in the hospital for a few days.” His father then asked the staff to put the name tag “Meat” on the hospital crib “because he looks like nine-and-a-half pounds of ground chuck.” The second part of his nickname came as a teen when he stepped on his football coach’s foot. “He screamed, ‘Get off my foot, you hunk of meat loaf!’” Marvin claimed.
