— Rob McElhenney (@RMcElhenney) July 1, 2025"Not only have many generations changed the spelling, the current one was just given to my ancestor by a government official who decided that this was now the spelling," he explained.
"There are so many things going on in the world and this is a silly one to waste your time on. Honestly, call me whatever you want," he said, before showing photos of other celebrities who go by names they weren't born with—including Lady Gaga and Jamie Foxx.
The actor first revealed the name change in his recent Variety cover story, where he shared that the shift just makes life easier.
The name change is something other members of his family have considered as well, with McElhenney telling the outlet, "My brother said, 'I was actually considering running for government in Culver City, and I was going to be 'Pat Mac.'" His sister, Katie, who has written on It's Always Sunny, also revealed an interest in going by the shorter moniker, telling her brother: "'literally every person in the world calls me Katie Mac.'"
"The kids are really not happy about it, because they have that last name," Olson, 49, said in her conversation with Variety. "And so do I, legally!"
