Wall Street, Free Fall, Fatal Attraction… Michael Douglas has lost count of his successes. On the occasion of the Deauville American Film Festival, where he is the guest of honor, the Hollywood legend gave an interview to the 8 p.m. news on France 2.
Deauville, a special city for the American actor Michael Douglas. It is in this city that he met his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones.It was like a mirage, with something dreamlike about this woman who came towards me. And it was Catherine (…), and then I don’t know what happened and I said to her: ‘You know, I’m going to be the father of your children’.“Son of Kurt Douglas, Michael is one of the only sons of a legendary actor to have himself become a cinema legend. His father was a regular at the Deauville festival: “He would have been very happy” of the tribute paid to the actor of Basic Instinct.
“I was very lucky very early in my career.“He first played in The Streets of San Francisco, a television series from the 70s. He also distinguished himself in the production of major films such as One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the film that won five Oscars: “It gave me confidence in the choices I made.“, he explains. “I felt I had a responsibility“to entertain the public. A committed artist, he even takes a look”optimistic” on the presidential election in the United States, confident about the victory of Kamala Harris.
