Michael Douglas' days are numbered as the only Michael Douglas in town. Michael Keaton, whose shares his birth name with the 'Wall Street' star, plans on changing his professional credit to Michael Keaton Douglas from here on out.
that he intends to start using the name professionally. Sort of."I said, 'Hey, just as a warning, my credit is going to be Michael Keaton Douglas,'" Keaton said of his work on, which he recently directed. But"it totally got away from me. And I forgot to give them enough time to put it in and create that. But that will happen,” he vowed.
Citing SAG mandates , Keaton recalled how he came up with the last name now widely associated with him. "I was looking through — I can’t remember if it was a phone book,” he said, "I must’ve gone, ‘I don’t know, let me think of something here.’ And I went, ‘Oh, that sounds reasonable.’”This isn't the first time Keaton has expressed a desire to return to his roots. He's been talking about it since at least the early '90s, in fact.
Well, kinda sorta. The Michael Douglas we know as Michael Douglas was in fact born Michael Douglas. But his father Kirk was the subject of one of the studio era's most rigorous Americanization regimes, having been born Issur Danielovitch. "There's a talk show host named Mike Douglas. Michael Douglas's father's real name was something else, my name is Michael Douglas, but they made me change it. I think something should be done about this," he joked.
Keaton doesn't intend to change his name to the confusingly repetitive Michael Douglas, but the only slightly confusing Michael Keaton Douglas.George Clooney praises Joe Biden for bowing out of presidential race after op-ed: 'All the credit goes to him'
