Michael Douglas is a multifaceted actor and film producer. He has been part of many genre-busting projects that have grossed millions at the box office, which have ultimately helped him cement his top spot in the industry. Douglas enjoyed massive success and gained worldwide notoriety throughout the late 1980s by delivering extraordinary performances in films like Romancing the Stone, Wall Street, and Fatal Attraction.
He tied the knot to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones in 2000 after meeting her in 1998. However, the veteran star got diagnosed with throat cancer in 2010. The Academy Award-winning actor once made a bombshell remark in his interview, allegedly stating that he got throat cancer apparently by performing oral s-x.
After his self-admission, his marriage went down with his wife Zeta-Jones. While many assumed that the reason behind his disease might be due to his smoking and drinking habits, the actor made a completely shocking revelation and told The Guardian in 2013:
“This particular cancer is caused by HPV [human papillomavirus], which actually comes from cunnilingus.” His remarks took a heavy toll on his married life, and a source at the time dished The Sun, “It all went downhill from there. The stress has taken a toll on their relationship.”
Michael Douglas apologized publicly for his distasteful remarks years later and stated that he was embarrassed and felt sorry for any pain his comments caused his wife, Catherine Zeta-Zones. The couple took a one-year hiatus in 2013. However, Douglas and his wife reunited as they appeared together in 2014 and attended the 14th annual Monte Cristo Awards.
