Charlie Sheen caused some buzz over the weekend after he changed his name back to his birth name Carlos Estevez for his role in Robert Rodriguez's film Machete Kills. TMZ broke the news, accompanying the story with a poster of a puzzled-looking Charlie with the words: "And Introducing Carlos Estevez."

Charlie Sheen, 47

During his days at Santa Monica High School, Charlie Sheen made amateur films with his older brother Emilio and school friends (including Rob Lowe and Sean Penn), and used his birth name (Carlos Irwin Estevez). But ever since his first role at age nine in his father’s 1974 film The Execution of Private Slovik, Sheen has gone by his stage name. "He was always Charlie, he was never Carlos," Sheen's brother Emilio Estevez told us in an interview for Latina.com.

Now, for the sake of his role in the Latino-centric Machete Kills film by Mexican American director Robert Rodriguez, Sheen is back to being Carlos.
