  • Michael Keaton has told People that he plans to use his birth name, Michael Keaton Douglas, professionally.

    • Keaton adopted 'Keaton' decades ago, as the Screen Actors Guild disallows duplicate names.

    • The guild already had a registered Michael Douglas and talk show host Mike Douglas.

    • The 72-year-old actor will start using Michael Keaton Douglas in future projects.

    • He aimed to use the new name in his directorial debut 'Knox Goes Away' (2023) but couldn't due to time constraints.

    • He will still be credited as Michael Keaton in the 'Beetlejuice' sequel.
