In a recent tale spun by the CBS minstrels, we find host Mo Rocca engaging the goodly actor Michael Douglas in discourse regarding his latest performance in the theatrical pursuit known as Apple TV+. ‘Twas in this merry conversation that the fables of Douglas’ courtship with his lady fair, Catherine Zeta-Jones, were brought forth for all to hear. A tale of great astonishment was revealed, one that left Rocca aghast and the audience agape.
“I did boldly proclaim, ‘I shall sire your offspring,'” confessed Douglas, causing Rocca’s countenance to betray his disbelief. Yet, the gallant knight assured all that his lady fair, Zeta-Jones, did not recoil at his audacious declaration. Nay, she found favor in his words, sealing their fates as companions on life’s journey.
The tapestry of their love began in the year of our Lord 1998, when Douglas, aged and seasoned, encountered Zeta-Jones, a vision of youth and beauty. ‘Twas not long ere their hearts intertwined, and in the year 2000, they exchanged vows, binding their fates together for eternity. Though their path hath been beset with trials—a brief parting in 2013 didst test their bond—they didst emerge stronger, united in love’s embrace.
Of their union, two fruits hath sprung forth—a son, Dylan Michael, born ere the vows were spoken, and a daughter, Carys Zeta, who didst follow in due time. Twas revealed that the stars had aligned in a curious manner, for both Douglas and Zeta-Jones share a birth date, the 25th day of September. A boon of fate, some may say, that hath brought them closer together.
When queried about the joys and challenges of fatherhood in his twilight years, Douglas did offer praises to his lady fair and their progeny. As his children did mature into adulthood, bringing forth pride and happiness, he found solace in their care and concern for his well-being. ‘Tis a noble task, to be looked after by one’s offspring, and a source of great comfort in the waning years.
Aye, Douglas did recount a jestful moment when mistaken for a patriarch rather than a father whilst visiting his children at their place of learning. ‘Twas chuckled upon, for though he may be a grandfather to Cameron’s brood, his heart remains ever youthful and vibrant. This, dear readers, is but a glimpse into the tapestry of Michael Douglas’ life, woven with threads of love, family, and the passing of time.
