Michael Douglas may be 74, but he loves what he does — and admits his gorgeous wife Catherine Zeta-Jones still gives him butterflies!
Michael Douglas, 74, has no plans to retire! “I cant imagine [retiring]. Unless I stop walking or breathing. No, I love what Im doing,” Michael confirmed to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY at BAFTAs TV Tea Party sponsored by Jaguar on Saturday, September 21. “I love what Im doing so I just hope to keep going, as long as theres parts for old people.” The legendary actor has been working in the business for five decades, getting his start on CBS The Experiment in 1969, and later shot to stardom acting in the series The Streets of San Francisco which ran from 1972 – 1976.
Though Micheal is a seasoned actor, award shows still make him nervous: hes nominated at Sundays Primetime Emmy Awards in the Best Actor in a Comedy Series category for The Kominsky Method which airs on Netflix. “Well Im not a good public speaker…For [Catherine Zeta-Jones] and I, we dont live here. We live back east and we live in the country. So we look at it as an opportunity to come out and see a lot of old friends and go to these shows, people we love or admire,” he revealed — also admitting that his stunning wife Catherine, 49, still gives him butterflies. “She cleans up pretty good,” he noted as he gazed in her direction. The couple married in 2000 and have two children together, Dylan Michael, 19 and Carys Zeta, 16.
“This [nomination] means a lot to me. This is comedy, you know…This is what I sort of hope for at this point. Ive been doing it now 50 years and the two areas I really had not done before was green screen and all this fake stuff, which is much more difficult than I thought with Ant-Man and then kind of a comedy show [The Kominsky Method], and so Ive just been so blessed,” Michael, who previously won an Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or a Movie category for 2013s Behind the Candelabra. “Youre in this wonderful environment at a time now when streaming has made it much more easy to bridge between television and film. So its a great time. Its nice to be out here and Ill enjoy every minute of it. Ill be the most stunned person if I win tomorrow. Theyll have to pick me up off the floor!”
