Michael Douglas Revealed His Daughter Expressed Concerns That He Will No Longer Be There When She Gets Married

Michael Douglas followed in the footsteps of his legendary father, Kirk Douglas, and has established himself as a renowned figure in the world of acting and film production. However, despite having a successful career in Hollywood, Michael’s life hasn’t been a smooth run as he battled stage IV throat cancer in 2010. Thankfully, the actor has since been cancer-free following rigorous treatments.

Now approaching the octagenarian milestone, Michael, who had previously expressed that he did not dwell on thoughts of mortality, has found himself contemplating the inevitable subject. He explained that the shift in perspective was prompted by a question raised by one of his children.
