The fiery brunette from “The Mask of Zorro” Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas after 21 years… They went through a lot: she helped him in his illness, and he left for a while when she was tormented by depression…
All the media wrote about the wedding of world cinema legend Michael Douglas and his young lady named Catherine. The event was also talked about on TV. The groom gave the bride a ring with a huge diamond. The celebration itself was decorated with several thousand roses. Celebrities and relatives were invited to the ceremony. The actress recalls that everything went quietly, like a family.
Despite the pomp of the ceremony, fortunately in the eyes of the newly-made spouses, journalists were skeptical about this marriage.
Some wrote that in a family with a difference of 25 years there cannot be sincere feelings.
Many predicted a quick separation for the newlyweds. And it wasn’t just a matter of age. The actor was able to establish himself in such a way that one could not believe in his loyalty and devotion to one woman.
When Douglas met the dark-haired beauty Catherine, he was married. He and his wife Diandra Luker shared 23 years of marriage. They had a child.
The marriage was formal, since the actor and his wife did not live together. The legal proceedings lasted for a long time, which did not allow them to get a divorce.
Neither of them wanted to give in to the other. Michael decided to do this when he fell in love with Katherine.
Thanks to this love, Diandra was able to receive $60,000,000 in compensation, which she was incredibly happy about. She managed to sue her husband for almost a third of his fortune.
The meeting with Katherine took place with mutual friends. The actor immediately fell in love as soon as he saw the charming brunette. Kat became famous all over the world after the film “The Mask of Zorro” was shown. After that, she was offered several lucrative contracts at once.
A little later, Catherine admits that she, too, fell in love with Douglas as soon as she saw him. It’s interesting that the actors have the same birthday – September 25th.
And the difference between them is 25 years. After this fateful meeting, the actor forgot about the existence of other women, he fell in love with Kat so much.
Katherine wanted to become an actress since childhood. She was able to play her first big film role at the age of 14. The mini-series “Titanic” brought her success. Director Steven Spielberg might have noticed her talent. When the second director was looking for actors for The Mask of Zorro, Spielberg suggested Katherine.
At first, Douglas and Kat were very happy. They became the parents of a son, Dylan, and a daughter, Carys. Michael was able to make peace with his son Cameron.
After the divorce, they did not communicate for some time, and then reconciled. It turned out that the actor’s eldest son ended up with the police. The father and his new wife were able to help Cameron get out of there. After that they became friends.
11 years ago, Douglas was given a disappointing diagnosis. Kat found it difficult to cope with her emotions, she was worried. Doctors were able to help the actor, and he remained alive, but his wife became depressed due to severe stress.
Nervous breakdowns began to occur more and more often in Kat. After one such breakdown, Michael simply decided to leave for a while and live without his family. This went on for several months, and then they made up again.
Michael and Kat were able to deal with the problems that arose in their lives. The artist’s wife was able to return to the profession. She’s filming again, looking good. And I must say that the age difference is not an obstacle to family life if there is true love.
