Michael Keaton will start going by his real name from now on. Call him Michael Douglas

Is the original Dieding???

^anything can happen when you’re over 39

I’ll let you know when I cross that bridge, R2!

OK, we will all start calling you Michael Douglas, Mr. Keaton.

Sure, Jan!

This is a great time for CZJ to switch husbands, as her once hot husband did not age as well as the other one.

R4 both men in their 70s but 7 years apart

Where does this leave Illeana?

Watch it, Michael. Do you remember Dionne WarwickE?

And I am now Diane Hall.

R6 She becomes Illeana Indiana as she is succeeded and loses her birthright title

Upon succession, Buster Keaton will, in posterity, now become Buster Brown or the Duke Of Earl

What happens to blushing bride Ryan Seahag Douglas?

Hey, works for me!

R7 - wasn't her real name Dionne Warrick?

FFS - he's 72 years old.

This just proves that acting has always drawn exhausting people and that this new crop is no different that celebrities of yesteryear.

And don't make eye contact with me on set!

He’s bat (shit crazy) man.

Whatever. “Douglas” Michaels and Peters Bernadette were so cute on that short-lived sitcom they starred together upon eons ago.

What a dumb thing to do.

Keaton cannot call himself Michael Douglas due to the Screen Actors Guild rule about no two members can have the same name: Michael Douglas ( The Streets of San Francisco) and Mike Douglas (talk show host).

He will now go by a combination of his stage name and real name: Michael Keaton Douglas.

Stunning and brave!!

I'm changing my name to Michael Keaton Douglas Fairbanks.

I'm adding the "a" back into my name.

A little too late lol

Has he lost his mind?

The white man always called me “Indian Squaw “

call me, ishmael

Couldn’t he wait until the real Michael Douglas passes and I’m the grieving young widow?

Michael Cougar Melloncamp sounds nice.

R24 But didn’t the Indians say that you were white by law?

I hope Catherine doesn't get confused.

Um.. ok? Better keep that Keaton in there, Michael Keaton Douglas. Otherwise we will be super confused.

Michael Buster Keaton Melvyn Douglas Fir.

Elizabeth Banks should start going by Elizabeth Mitchell Banks

What a pointless move

He's always hated it. Good for him.

The artist formally known as Michael Keaton.

Doesn't Catherine Zeta-Jones add on Spartacus when she wants to give acknowledgement to her husband's family?

Why?

Just don't call me late for dinner.

This reeks of attention whoring.

I always liked his smart, quick-witted style of acting. One of my favorites of the 80s and 90s.

What does DL think of his son? He is a big time songwriter... I didn't know that.

He was married to Caroline McWilliams, the secretary on the first couple of seasons of Benson. She was the mother of his son.

His son look nothing like him. He's also 6'3"....Keaton is 5'9" and Caroline is 5'7".

Hmmm....

^^or WAS. She died a few years ago.

Wanna bet?

He looks good for 72.

[quote]Wanna bet? —Peyton List & Peyton List{/quote]

Exactly. I'm sure it was once the rule, but for at least the past 15 years when joining and they see there's another member with your name, you can sign an acknowledgement form that essentially states you are aware of the name conflict and that it could possibly lead to confusion during the cast clearance process, but you will take that chance.

Why this spells big trouble for Diane

Why she now only answers to ‘Grammy Hall’

The son has nice eyes.

So does the hills

He is Michael Douglas.

Never liked this actor. And he seems more than a little bit self-important.

Worse, he was the one weak link in 'Jackie Brown'

We’ll always have Pacific Heights’

I love him and will call him whatever he wants. Also, I would respectfully like to make out just a bit and see where things go.

Do you got to 2nd?

R43 hmmm indeed. His son looks nothing like him at all in r41.

It's kind of crazy how his career was more or less on par with Tom Hanks in the 80s. And then he quit Hollywood to be a real life Mr. Mom. At least his kid turned out better than Chet.

There is something about Michael Keaton I always liked on screen. He is like Tom Hanks without the big epic dramas filmography. He just has this quality of like your basketball coach or something. Something very familiar and endearing.

Chet won a Grammy for "White Boy Summer" and is on the road to an EGOT now!

I thought he was sexy as hell in "Batman Returns" and I really enjoyed him in "The Founder."

If you want to be Michael Keaton Douglas, that’s cool with me. How about Michael K Douglas?

It's so interesting to me he's so much better looking in his seventies than he was in his twenties.

I agree with the Hanks comparisons, though I'd argue that Keaton always had an edge to him that Hanks never did, which is why he was capable of doing more performance-wise.

Dad = 5'9"

Mom = 5'7"

Son = 6'3"!!

How does that happen? A sleeper "tall" gene? I've never seen this.

Good nutrition has given him some length of bone... you know the rest.

It's the height and his features, I know some kids resemble one parent over the other but here it really looks sus.

He doesn't look good without the right lighting and make-up. Yikes!

Where does it say he took a break to raise his son? He had a son born in 1983 - early in his career. He worked steadily and hard through the late 90's - at which time his son would be graduating from high school

He didn't take a break to be a parent. His career stalled. What a bunch of bullshit.

So unnecessary.

There is a decided lack of pics with his son and Caroline McWilliams together. Odd.

R65 It does happens. My father was 5'11, my mother was 5'3. My brother grew to 6' 3, I only am 5'9 1/2

Something about him really creeps me out. He reminds me of a burns victim - the skin on his face looks too tight and shiny.

My nephew is much taller than my brother or his mother. It happens. Just look at Barron "Lurch" Trump.

R69 is a true DLer--considered the evidence, did the math, and called bullshit. Righteous dude!

R72 I think you’re in your mommy’s genes

R68, he’s wearing makeup. His brows have been drawn on and he has concealer in some areas.

asshole

Michael Keto Douglas

“Call me by your name”.

r79 i like it!
