Charlie Sheen Changes Name

Charlie Sheen used his birth name Carlos Estevez in the new Robert Rodriguez film Machete Kills, according to TMZ.

It is the first time in the actor's career he was not billed as Charlie Sheen. Director Rodriguez' films, such as El Mariachi, Desperado and Machete, often celebrate Latino pride.

Martin Sheen, Charlie's father, was born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estevez from his Spanish father's side. He made up "Martin Sheen" to get acting jobs but never changed his name legally. He passed his last name by birth, Estevez, to all four of his children.

Martin has said he regrets not using his real name as an actor.

Charlie portrays the U.S. president in the campy thriller about a rampaging Mexican assassin.
