Michael Keaton, whose actual name is Michael Douglas, plans to officially change his acting credit to “Michael Keaton Douglas” in the future.

Keaton appears in Tim Burton’s horror comedy Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and has been going by the name ‘Michael Keaton’ since the start of his career in 1978. Then, he couldn’t use his own name because it was already a famous actor Michael Douglas and something ‘Mike Douglas’ was already taken by the host of a talk show.

In an interview with People magazine, he has asserted that he will embark on such an action. Keaton has also spoken about how he decided on the name “Keaton”. After looking through the list of names to change his last name, he picked one that seemed right to him at the time. He told the outlet, “I was looking through — I can’t remember if it was a phone book. I must’ve gone, ‘I don’t know, let me think of something here.’ And I went, ‘Oh, that sounds reasonable.’”
