“‘This is not grandfather’s day, this is parents’ day.’ I say ‘I am a parent!’” he recalled when someone told him that. “That was a rough one.”

Michael Douglas, 79, and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, 54, who have been in a happy 24-year marriage, are proud parents to two children: Dylan, who is 23, and Carys, 21. On the other hand, Douglas has a 45-year-old son Cameron Douglas who is from his earlier marriage to Diandra Luker. Douglas narrated an incident of being mistaken as the grandfather of Carys in May 2021 when she was receiving her university graduation. Even though there was a little confusion, he didn't let it ruin the moment and simply laughed it off. Douglas really treasures being a grandfather to Lua, born in 2017, and Ryder, who joined the family in 2020.
In his interview with The Telegraph, Douglas talked about feeling sad and regretting not being there for big moments in his oldest son's life. He said his busy job in entertainment made it hard. Douglas really admires his kids, describing them as "extraordinary beings.". He's thankful they've been with him through his 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Now, Douglas and Zeta-Jones find themselves as "empty nesters." Dylan has graduated from Brown University in 2022, while Carys has one more year of college left, as Douglas revealed.
