It’s the first time the actor won’t be billed as Sheen. TMZ obtained this screengrab from the upcoming pic showing
that he’s changed his name to Carlos Estevez for writer-director Robert Rodriguez’ upcoming campy thriller Machete Kills. Explanation: Sheen’s dad Martin Sheen was born Ramón Antonio Gerardo Estevez and never changed it legally to ‘Martin Sheen’. So ‘Estevez’ is Charlie’s real last name just as it is Emilio’s. Machete Kills also stars Danny Trejo, Sofia Vergara, Mel Gibson, Jessica Alba, Antonio Banderas, Vanessa Hudgens and Lady Gaga whose big-screen debut came about because of a chance encounter with Trejo in an LA tattoo parlor. Pic is scheduled to be released in the U.S. in September.




And Carlos is his real first name. Carlos Irwin Estevez.
Martin Sheen’s father was Spanish and his mother was Irish.
Martin Sheen took the screen name “Sheen” in the 60’s after his hero Bishop Fulton Sheen.
Wow, that’s a lot of misogynists in one movie.
It’s fitting in this movie.
Hear, hear, Richard!
and lady gaga should be stefanie germanotta….
Love it. Very cool comeback tactic.
And Mel Gibson is in fact Don Inigo Montoya. Oh, we are all SO proud of our latino roots…
Actually, this is NOT the first time he wasn’t credited as “Charlie Sheen”. In the late 1990’s he was trying to be “taken more seriously” as an actor and was credited as “Charles Sheen” in several films including “Postmortem”, “No Code of Conduct” “Free Money” and “Five Aces”. This is the first time he’s being credited with his birth name, however.
BOYCOTTING because of Mel Gibson. DO NOT SEE this movie, or you are endorsing racism.
Not really. But by boycotting you are endorsing mccarthyism,
Gee, a “film” teeming with actors who loathe women•••No thank you!
Danny Trejo, Sofia Vergara, Jessica Alba, Antonio Banderas, Vanessa Hudgens and Lady Gaga loathe women?
And Mel only loathes ONE woman…his ex. Most men are in that same boat.
Altogether now, Napoleon Solo
WINNING!
It’s time for a Young Guns Reboot!
