Two children is enough - Aug 23, 2020
Michael Douglas has told Catherine Zeta-Jones that two children is enough. The brunette actress has always said she wants a big family but Douglas is happy with their children, son Dylan and daughter Carys, and thinks his wife would be just as happy focusing on her work.
He told the Night and Day magazine: "I think Catherine is resigned to that fact now. She’s gone back and forth on the subject, but when she gets back into work, I think she realises two’s enough and I say to her, ’Just think of your stepson as your third child.’"
Douglas, 61, has a 27-year-old son, Cameron, from his first marriage to Diandra Luker. Cameron is just nine years younger than Zeta-Jones, who is 36. The Oscar-winning actor also claims he has become a "Mr Mum" and is happy to stay at home and look after the children so his wife is able to go and make films.
Douglas is currently starring in ’You, Me and Dupree’ and ’The Sentinel’ which are both out this summer.

She went on to appear in numerous little noticed films and series’, including a made for TV film, Titanic, and comic book movie The Phantom, alongside Billy Zane. It was around this time that she was picked to star with Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro and Sean Connery in Entrapment. These films would make Catherine in to the Hollywood star we know today.
In 2000 she starred in Stephen Soderburgh’s Traffic with her future husband Michael Douglas. When they married later that year there was much critcism of the age difference (Douglas being 25 years her senior), however their marriage continues to go from strength to strength and they now have two children, Dylan (born in 2000) and Cerys (born in 2003).
Between babies and awards ceremonies CZJ has made a real name for herself as a leading lady in films such as The Terminal, Ocean’s Eleven and America’s Sweethearts. She has also won an Oscar for her all-singing, all-dancing part in musical Chicago whilst also working as spokeswoman for Elizabeth Arden.
