Charlie Sheen is going back to
his roots for Machete Kills. According to a screengrab obtained by TMZ, Sheen
will be billed by his birth name, Carlos Estevez, for the upcoming film.
Though Sheen told Univision last year, "I don't wake up
feeling Latino. I'm a white guy in America," it seems he's once again
ready to embrace his Latino heritage
after changing his name to Charlie at the age of 4. Though Sheen's decision to
go by Charlie was simply to avoid confusion with an uncle also named Carlos,
when he became an actor, he took on the last name Sheen to follow in the
footsteps of his father Martin Sheen. On the other hand, his brother Emilio
Estevez kept his birth name.
Returning Summer Shows: Where
we left off
Martin Sheen has expressed his
sadness at not using his birth name, Ramon Gerardo Antonio Estevez. In a 2003
appearance on Inside the Actors Studio, he told James Lipton, "One of my
great regrets is that I didn't keep my name as it was given to me. I knew it
bothered my dad."
Hopefully his son's recent
decision to go by Carlos Estevez, even temporarily, will make papa proud! (Source)
