Surfing YouTube for throat whistlers, Saxon came across a former circus performer named Paul “The Birdman” Manalatos who had developed a signature coo.

“Birdman” actor Keaton said in September that he wants to start going by his birth name: Michael Keaton Douglas.

Cash Money mogul Birdman, Wayne’s labelmate Nicki Minaj and rappers Juvenile, Cam’ron and Master P all came to his defense since the apparent snub.

Nicki Minaj, Birdman, Master P and Cam’ron have all said the hometown hero should have been part of the event.

So Keaton, like many who adopt stage names, turned to an unlikely place to choose the name that would ultimately identify him in “Night Shift,” “Mr. Mom,” “Beetlejuice,” “Batman” and the Oscar-nominated “Birdman.”
