Michael Douglas recently went on Live with Kelly and Ryan to discuss the death of his father, Kirk Douglas, at age 103. It was an incredible interview reflecting on his life, and Kelly Ripa couldn’t help but note that if there was anyone who would live forever, it would of course be Kirk.
“There was a while there for sure that I thought he was,” Kirk says with a small laugh. “He was an extraordinary man, always worked out minimally, 15 minutes in a day, and kept himself in amazing shape. And unfortunately, I’ve just lost his wife, Anne, almost a year later, she just passed away two weeks ago and she was 102.”
In the interview, Michael also talks about how both Kirk and Anne were extremely generous people and always gave back to multiple charitable organizations. “They were quite a couple,” he says. “And it’s led me to be very supportive of step-parents, she was my step-mother for 63 years… I think we need to hear a little more about all the good things that step-parents do rather than the bad things. There’s a lot of good step-parents out there.”
