In July 2025, Douglas said that he was largely retired from acting, saying "I realized I had to stop [...] I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set". He added that while he was attached to one additional project and did not fully rule out future projects "if something special came up", he had no plans to work regularly again.[4]

Acting style and reception

According to film historian and criticDavid Thomson, Douglas was capable of playing characters who were "weak, culpable, morally indolent, compromised, and greedy for illicit sensation without losing that basic probity or potential for ethical character that we require of a hero".[90] Critic and author Rob Edelman points out similarities in many of Douglas's roles, writing that in some of his leading films, he personified the "contemporary, Caucasian middle-to-upper-class American male who finds himself the brunt of female anger because of real or imagined sexual slights".[21]

These themes of perceived male victimization are seen in films such asFatal Attraction (1987) withGlenn Close,The War of the Roses (1989) withKathleen Turner,Basic Instinct (1992) withSharon Stone,Falling Down (1993), andDisclosure (1994) withDemi Moore. For his characters in films such as these, "any kind of sexual contact with someone other than his mate and the mother of his children is destined to come at a costly price."[21] Edelman describes his characters as the "Everyman who must contend with, and be victimized by, these women and their raging, psychotic sexuality".[21]

Conversely, Douglas also played powerful characters with dominating personalities, includingGordon Gekko, in theWall Street franchise, who was described as the "greedy yuppie personification of the Me generation," and says "greed is good" in the movie; inRomancing the Stone andThe Jewel of the Nile, he played an idealistic soldier of fortune; inThe Star Chamber (1983), he was a court judge fed up with an inadequate legal system, leading him to become involved with a vigilante group; and inBlack Rain (1989), he proved he could also play aStallone-like action hero as a New York City cop.[21]

Having become recognized as a successful producer and actor, he describes himself as "an actor first and a producer second". He has explained why he enjoys both functions:

I love the fact that on one side, with acting, you can be a child—acting is wonderful for its innocence and the fun ... On the other side, producing is fun for all the adult kinds of things you do. You deal in business, you deal with the creative forces. As an adult who continues to get older, you like the adult risks. It's flying without a net, taking chances and learning. I was never good in economics or business—had no business background, you know, and I like it.I think I'm a chameleon. I think it's something that I possibly inherited early on as a child going back and forth between two families. I know that whether it's right or wrong, I have an ability to sort of fit into a lot of different situations and make people feel relatively comfortable in a wide range without giving up all my moral values. I think that same chameleonlike quality can transfer into films. I think if you can remember the reason you got involved with it in the first place and try to keep that impulsive, instinctive feeling even when you're being beaten down or exhausted or waylaid, you'll be successful."[91]

In 1995, Diandra filed for divorce and was awarded $45 million as part of the divorce settlement.[94][95] Diandra then married the10th Earl of Dartmouth, stepbrother ofDiana, Princess of Wales, in 2025.[96]

In March 1999, Douglas began dating Welsh actressCatherine Zeta-Jones. The pair married on November 18, 2000. Zeta-Jones says that when they met inDeauville, France, Douglas said, "I want to father your children."[97] They have two children, son Dylan Michael (born August 8, 2000)[98] and daughter Carys Zeta (born April 20, 2003).[99] The family has a coastal estate nearValldemossa,Mallorca.[100] Douglas and Zeta-Jones own 4 properties, one in Canada, one in Spain, and two in New York.[101]

In August 2013,People claimed that Douglas and Zeta-Jones began living separately in May 2013, but did not take any legal action towards separation or divorce.[102] A representative for Zeta-Jones subsequently confirmed that they "are taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage".[103] It was reported in November, that the couple had reconciled and Zeta-Jones moved back into their New York apartment.[104]

Legal issues

In 1997, New Yorkcaddie James Parker sued Douglas for $25 million.[105] Parker accused Douglas of hitting him in thegroin with an errantgolf ball, causing Parker great distress. The case was later settled out of court.[106]

In 2004, Douglas and Zeta-Jones took legal action againststalker Dawnette Knight, who was accused of sending violent letters to the couple that contained graphic threats on Zeta-Jones' life. Testifying, Zeta-Jones said the threats left her so shaken she feared anervous breakdown.[107] Knight claimed she was in love with Douglas and admitted to the offenses, which took place between October 2003 and May 2004. She was sentenced to three years in prison.

Health problems

In 1980, Douglas was involved in a seriousskiing accident which sidelined his acting career for three years. On September 17, 1992, the same yearBasic Instinct came out, he began a 30-day treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction at Sierra Tucson Center.[108][109]

It was announced on August 16, 2010, that Douglas was suffering fromthroat cancer (later revealed to have beentongue cancer),[110] and would undergochemotherapy andradiation treatment.[111] He subsequently confirmed that the cancer was atstage IV, an advanced stage.[112]

Douglas credits the discovery of his cancer to the publicCanadian health system when a doctor inMontreal,Quebec diagnosed the actor's medical condition after numerous American specialists failed to do so.[112][113] Douglas has since participated in fundraisers for Montreal'sJewish General Hospital, where he was diagnosed, and theMcGill University Health Centre with which the hospital is affiliated.[114]

Douglas attributed thecancer tostress, his previousalcohol abuse, and years ofheavy smoking.[115] In July 2011,Star magazine published photographs which appeared to show him smoking acigarette while on holiday that month.[116] A representative declined to comment on the photographs.[117]

In November 2010, Douglas's doctors put him on a weight-gain diet due to excessive weight loss that left him weak.[118] On January 11, 2011, he said that the tumor was gone, though the illness and aggressive treatment had caused him to lose 32 pounds (14.5 kg).[119] He said he would require monthly screenings because of a high chance of recurrence within three years.[120] In June 2013, Douglas toldThe Guardian that his type of cancer is caused by thehuman papilloma virus transmitted bycunnilingus,[7] leading some media to report this as well. His spokesman denied these reports and portrayed Douglas's conversation withThe Guardian as general and not referring specifically to his diagnosis.[121]

Although Douglas described the cancer as throat cancer, it was publicly speculated that he may have been diagnosed withoropharyngeal cancer.[122][123] In October 2013, Douglas said he suffered from tongue cancer, not throat cancer. He announced it as throat cancer upon the advice of his physician, who felt it would be unwise to reveal that he had tongue cancer given its negative prognosis and potential for disfigurement, particularly because the announcement came immediately before Douglas's promotional tour forWall Street: Money Never Sleeps.

Faith and charity work

Douglas was born to a Jewish father and anAnglican (Church of England) mother.[124][125] His cousin, theRight Reverend Nicholas Dill, is the bishop of theestablishedAnglican Church of Bermuda.[17][18] Douglas was not raised with a religious affiliation but stated in January 2015, that he now identifies as aReform Jew.[126][127] His son, Dylan, had aBar Mitzvah ceremony[128][129] and the Douglas family traveled toJerusalem to mark the occasion.[130]

Douglas received the 2015Genesis Prize, a $1 million prize awarded by the Genesis Prize Foundation for Jewish achievement. He donated the prize money to activities designed to raise awareness about inclusion and diversity in Jewish life and to find innovative solutions to pressing global and community problems.[131]

Michael Douglas has been involved in various charitable activities, focusing on healthcare, nuclear disarmament, and human rights. Since 1998, he has served as aUnited Nations Messenger of Peace, primarily concentrating on disarmament issues.[132] Douglas has supported theMotion Picture & Television Fund, which aids those in the entertainment industry, and has participated in fundraising efforts for theJewish General Hospital and theMcGill University Health Centre in Montreal, where he was diagnosed with cancer.[133] Additionally, he has been involved with theElizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation and theMichael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.[134] Michael Douglas has also raised awareness about the link betweenhuman papillomavirus (HPV) and oropharyngeal cancer, citing medical evidence and his diagnosis to promote public health education and preventive measures. He was featured in the"100 Influential Celebrities in Oncology: The 2023 Edition" by OncoDaily for his contributions to public awareness.[135]

Allegations of sexual misconduct

In 2018, journalist and authorSusan Braudy alleged onToday, anNBC morning news show in the United States, and in several other interviews,[136] that in 1989 when Braudy was in her 40s and working as an assistant to Douglas, he regularly made degrading sexual comments about or to her. She stated this caused her to wear baggy clothing at work, and also recalled a one-on-one script meeting where Douglas allegedly undid his pants and fondled himself with her in the room.[137]

In a preemptive statement, Douglas admitted to using coarse language but categorically denied any other wrongdoing.[137][138] Zeta-Jones, asked about the allegations while promotingCocaine Godmother, did not address them directly but said that her husband was "110 percent behind" the#MeToo movement and that she was "very, very happy" with his statement.[139]

The conference is an opportunity for UN member states to build on the Program of Action and to encourage countries to strengthen their laws on the illicit trade, ... an issue that affects us all ...
