Now that the world has known about Michael Keaton for fifty years, the actor is asking that people call him by his given name.
Yes, a different name had to be selected by the 73-year-old when he joined the Screen Actors Guild because at that time, another actor sharing the same name was already a member of the organization.
According to legend, Michael Douglas Keaton, whose real name is Michael Keaton, selected his now-famous nickname using a phone book.
He said to People, “I was looking through, I don’t know if it was a phone book.” “I guess I thought, ‘Let me think of something here.'” And I thought, “Well, that makes sense.”
The actor wants to use a combination of his birth name and stage name, but Keaton is still unable to use it since Michael Douglas, who is well known for his appearances in Traffic and Wall Street, was the first to claim the name.
Allow me to present Michael Keaton Douglas.
With the pressure of filming Know Goes Away in 2023, the Oscar-nominated actor intended to adopt his new professional name, but he claimed he just “forgot” to mention the change.
“Hey, just to let you know, Michael Keaton Douglas will be getting credit. And I completely lost track of it. Furthermore, I neglected to allow them enough time to design that and put it in. However, that will occur.
In the impending movie Beetlejuice, he plays Michael Keaton as well.
Celebrities who have gone by a stage name for years but now want to be called by a different name are not limited to Keaton.
Emma Stone stated earlier this year that she preferred to be known to by her given name, Emily Stone.
The actress claimed to The Hollywood Reporter that she “freaked out” “a couple of years ago” because she could no longer stand to be called Emma.
“I realized that I was no longer able to continue for some reason. Call me Emily, please.
Michael Keaton will go by Michael Keaton Douglas if that’s his preferred name going forward! Kindly give it away.
