Michael Keaton Is Getting Back to His Roots

The actor will now be known by his birth name, Michael Douglas

After decades of being known as Michael Keaton, the actor has decided to go back to his birth name, Michael Douglas. He made the announcement in an interview with Variety, saying that he felt it was time to "reclaim" his identity.

Why the change?

Keaton said that he had been thinking about changing his name for a while, but he finally decided to do it after his father passed away in 2021. He said that his father had always wanted him to use his real name, and so he felt it was a fitting tribute to him.

Keaton also said that he felt like he had outgrown the name "Keaton." He said that it was a name that he had adopted when he was starting out in his career, and that it no longer felt like a true reflection of who he is.

What does this mean for his career?

Keaton said that he does not think the name change will have any impact on his career. He said that he is still the same actor, and that he is still committed to making great films.

However, some experts believe that the name change could actually benefit Keaton's career. They say that it will make him more relatable to audiences, and that it could help him to land more leading roles.

Only time will tell

Only time will tell what impact the name change will have on Keaton's career. However, one thing is for sure: he is a talented actor who is not afraid to take risks. And that is something that is sure to continue to serve him well in the years to come.
