Michael Douglas Says Enjoying Time-Off As He Turns 80 But Jokes Would Be Open To A Horror Movie

Michael Douglas has revealed he has been enjoying a career break over the past two years but is still open to taking on projects that introduce him to a new genre or type of role, such as a horror movie. The actor is attending the Red Sea Film Festival with wife and actor Catherine Zeta-Jones alongside a slew of stars including Michelle Yeoh, Eva Longoria, Andrew Garfield, Ranbir Kapoor, Cynthia Erivo, Brendan Fraser, Shraddha Kapoor, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jeremy Renner. His on-stage conversation touched on his early acting break in TV show, The Streets of San Francisco; how he got his first producer credit on Oscar-winner One Flew Out Of The Cuckoo’s Nest, after his father Kirk Douglas has originally optioned the book with a plan to take Jack Nicholson’s role for himself, and later films such as The China Syndrome, Wall Street, Fatal Attraction and The War Of The Roses.
