'Beetlejuice Beetlejuice' star Michael Keaton plans to start using his real name
Fox News
Michael Keaton will start using a stage name that includes his real last name, Douglas. The "Batman Returns" star picked the name Keaton out of a phone book.
"I realized I could make people laugh and get out of trouble or get into trouble."
Keaton grabbed roles in "Night Shift," "Mr. Mom" and "Beetlejuice" in the 1980s before 1989's "Batman" pushed him into superstardom.
"I was looking through – I can’t remember if it was a phone book," Keaton, now 72, recalled in an interview with People magazine. "I must’ve gone, ‘I don’t know, let me think of something here.’ And I went, ‘Oh, that sounds reasonable.’"
