When you make a statement like the one about being a father of one's future children, you're either a gambler, a dreamer or damn sure of yourself 😂

[@TheMallyjoe]

He was damn sure. He is Michael Douglas

[@martinplatt5928]

Just an outstanding actor with a huge catalogue of films behind him. I loved Wall Street. His acting skills are phenomenal. An icon.

[@garycambridge5513]

Don’t think I’ve seen him in one bad film - absolute legend 🥰

[@eroc747]

Yeah me neither.

[@AT-jm4dl]

He was smart not to do Basic Instinct II.

[@gbej1]

@@AT-jm4dl Would probably have been a success if he was in it

[@supertruthfortynine]

Yes agree. Black rain. Game. Fatal attraction. Wall Street... Classics!

[@johndoyle2429]

​@@gbej1 , He said interview that never really does Sequels.

[@alifc1082]

A good head on his shoulders, smart and funny. For sure a good actor with a class, elegance we rarely see these days

[@felixwatkins958]

Didn't mention his work as a producer on Cuckoo's Nest - arguably his greatest contribution to American cinema.

[@eugenialoulou2727]

Indeed!

[@missydavis6678]

He is just saying how it is. You don't see that alot. Obviously hes worried about his nonviolent son being thrown in with violent people. I find his open honesty refreshing.

[@sophiamichael2788]

Oh wow he's still so youthful, I didn't expect to see him this way from seeing him in random pictures.

[@eroc747]

This interview was done around 2016. His dad died in 2020.

[@lizbrown9645]

22 yrs together omg more than a lot of celebs ❤

[@katherinemooney4396]

Looks like his dad to the T! Handsome guy!

[@michelemurphy3541]

He was my early college crush. So handsome.❤

[@BreinGames]

That’s a powerful manspread he got goin on there.

[@westhamunited67]

Absolute superstar actor, love him💗

[@innerpeace88627]

Jonathan is a brilliant interviewer. I thought I couldn't love Michael Douglas' work any more than I did until I saw "Behind the Candelabra". When video rental stores existed I used to go to the Michael Douglas section and loved every film. I watched "War of the Roses" again the other day and enjoyed it just as much as the first couple of times I saw it and I must have seen "The Game" at least 5 times over the years - and "Romancing The Stone" is still one of my all time favorites. He is an icon, just like his Dad. Also, Catherine Zeta-Jones was sooo good in "Feud", she is amazing too.

[@supertruthfortynine]

Guy always had great hair. Not a Hollywood hair transplant, just lucky to have superb hair. Interesting actor with daring film choices. Yeah always digged Douglas.

[@Gemmarose9012]

Yes I love his hair. He was a really sexy guy in his day.

[@supertruthfortynine]

@@Gemmarose9012 yeah top actor. Loads of screen presence. Played some superb parts. Unique.

[@tammyneal2430]

[@dustinl5813]

One of my favorite actors!

[@swimlaps1]

As a teen -just watched Streets of SF... to see Michael Douglas! A great movie actor, since!

[@Madkalibyr]

He’s so funny, loved him so much in Falling Down and the Romancing The Stone movies ❤ and LOL “in my youth uhh yeah” 😂

[@robbieogle8622]

His movies were totally different than his fathers but what a great career and talent.

[@AvisWrentmore]

MD looks amazing.... so healthy and happy:)

[@Brunosmith85]

Falling down by far one of his best work!!

[@tangomantactical]

"Were rolling back prices!"

[@theflyingfrog]

One of my favourite films!

[@yaronkl]

what an incredible man. All the best to Michael, Cameron, Catherine, their 2 beautiful children

[@eroc747]

"The Game" I thought it was funny whenever Michael mentioned he's organizing his dad's birthday. If you have seen this movie "The Game" you'd giggle a bit. 😊☺😊

[@DK.448]

MD’s Scottish accent had me in stitches! 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂

[@iamreborn3463]

I like his voice

[@mariagabbott]

And yet she earns more and has more money than you

[@catrinstallon373]

@mariagabbott well clearly she earns more, I'm not in showbiz!!!! 😂 You're missing the point a little here !

[@wozshah4597]

My personal favourite movie scene from Douglas was the ‘Hamburger Scene’ from the movie ‘Falling Down’ .. superb acting

[@petrutabacu8241]

You don't have any audience there, only three individuals?!! Where did all that laughing came? Love Michael!🤗😘

[@peachesj4748]

That wasn't the audience, DUH! that was the other guests backstage. There was an audience there IN FRONT OF MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND JONATHAN ROSS, but they didn't put the camera on the audience. Dummy.

[@Boadicea6]

Old video, but still a great and mostly funny interview.

[@Belfastboi]

Whyyyyy would you talk about the son??? So many things to talk about. He’s handling it well. Let’s talk about your son your dad…ummmm your age difference CHRIST

[@monapop]

I have the same exact observation.

[@MrJimbolloyd]

Because these are all planned interviews. Michael would have asked to speak about his son, and the situation with non violent offenders.

[@theskipgilberto]

They know what they're talking about before they hit the stage. He chose to talk about it. Good for him.

[@AL-mc9ht]

That’s a joke, right?

[@inserter400]

[@EK-fl8yz]

I enjoyed watching Michael on this show .I feel the interviewing wasn’t done too well he could have spent more time working on it ( a few awkward moments )

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

He wooed her with his bank accounts😄

[@Greenwillow]

I thought this was recent till I remembered Kirk Douglas died two years ago at 103 years old.🤔

[@Boadicea6]

I thought so too, so when I heard he was still alive, I was happy, coz I thought he was dead. And now I find out he is, that's an old video, lol.🤗 Still funny interview though and his wife is just as lovely and funny, coz on screen she can seem a bit cold, if you don't know her. Loved her in Wednesday on Netflix, as Mrs. Adams, from Tim Burton (Batman and lots of movies with Depp, like Alice... etc.). One thing that did bother me was that John didn't mention 1 of his best movies, Basic Instinct!! Still 1 of my favorite action thrillers and there have been many over the last 35 years. Esp when I finished school and had a lot of free time and after half a year in college, I've seen enough, terrible school, lowsy college. So after that I was 3 yrs with the same guy and almost every day we watched and rewatched lots of vcr videos (in the 90s), 2 or 3 a day minimum, but many times same movie, coz you rented it for a week, came with a vcr you could rent, probably long before you were alive, I'm guessing ofcause, but most on here are young(er) ppl, I gather.

[@carolkotcheck6065]

His Father was quite the predator. Poor Wood.

[@Boadicea6]

@@carolkotcheck6065 Who, Kirk Douglas? I can't recall hearing anything negative like that about him. Wood, as in Natalie Wood? I do remember her name and some trivia,but forgot what factually happened, didn't she drown or something?
