What is Vanilla Ice’s real name?

At the height of Vanilla Ice’s popularity came the 1991 movie, Cool as Ice.
In the film, if you can call it that, Ice plays a motorcycle-loving rapper who catches the eye of a young honor student, mostly by saving her from some creeps using his motorcycle. Along with a needlessly complicated plot, we also get to see Ice doing a bit of rapping — including, as you can see in the image above, Naomi Campbell backing him up for some reason.
Sadly, the movie was a complete bomb, earning only a little over a million dollars against a $6 million budget.
It was part of the swift and pretty harsh backlash Vanilla Ice received after skyrocketing to fame as the first successful white rapper. But hey, he’s since experienced a bit of a renaissance thanks to his home improvement TV shows and even a stint on Dancing With the Stars.
Personally, if I knew him in real life, I’d just call him Ice, but those close to him probably call him by his real name. What is it?

Correct Answer: Robert Matthew Van Winkle
The answer is: Robert Matthew Van Winkle. Sometimes I don’t get why people take on pseudonyms, but in this case, I really can’t blame Ice here. Still, a heavy metal band just called Van Winkle would rock.Source
