The patriotic actress then dishes it out to friends visiting her and husband Michael Douglas. Zeta Jones reportedly came up with the idea after learning a businessman was bottling the atmosphere in the Welsh Valleys.

Zeta Jones reportedly came up with the idea after learning a businessman was bottling the atmosphere in the Welsh Valleys. But entrepreneur John Gronow is remaining tight-lipped about whether the actress is a customer, saying: "I’m afraid I can’t talk about Ms Jones. I’m not allowed to." Zeta Jones has made no secret of her love for her home country.
She once revealed she wants to move out of Hollywood to her homeland and is said to have told friends she is determined her children Dylan, 4, and one-year-old Carys will call her native land home. A source claimed at the time: "She wants her kids to be privy to the upbringing that made her who she is - she loves Los Angeles but it’s all so shallow."
Catherine and Michael battling it out - Aug 05
Catherine Zeta Jones and her husband Michael Douglas will soon be battling it out - when they go head to head in a celebrity golf tournament. The Hollywood couple are keen golfers and will put their sporting talents to the test when they compete on opposite teams in ’The All Star Cup’, a celebrity version of the Ryder Cup.
The star studded event will be broadcast on TV later this month and viewers will see celebrities in ’Team America’ and ’Team Europe’ fighting to claim the winner’s cup. The celebrity pair aren’t the only celebrities who relax on the golf course, Zeta’s ’Ocean’s 12’ co-star George Clooney is so obsessed with the sport he recently organised a special golfing holiday for pals. The heartthrob and half-a-dozen long-term friends - dubbed ’The Boys’ - toured golf ranges around America in a rented bus, as part of a male bonding session.

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.
