Sir Michael Caine forced to change his name because of ISIS


Shakespeare had asked 'what's in a name?' but Sir Michael Cane has realized the hard way that there is plenty in a name. Hence, he had to officially change his name by deed poll after finding himself getting delayed at airport security. His passport had his real name Maurice Micklewhite but, he was better known as Michael Caine and, hence, he found himself being constantly being asked about it.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 21 July 2016.
The 83-year-old has revealed that he was forced to change his name because of the emergence of ISIS and associated security checks. It involved getting into a lot of explanations leading to delays at the airports. Hence his c decision.
Sir Michael Caine had abandoned his birth name in 1954 because his agent wanted him to find a new name quickly. He was at the time speaking to his agent from a telephone box in Leicester Square, London. Searching for a name, he saw that Humphrey Bogart's The Caine Mutiny was being shown at the Odeon and decided to change his name to 'Michael Caine'.
He has had a checkered career and is currently starring in Now You See Me 2.
