To begin with, his son Cameron Douglas was convicted for possession of drugs and dealing. Judged and sentence to five years. Throughout the process and hard time his son was going through, he was always very supportive of his son, going to court regularly during the whole trial till the day he was finally sentenced. Also his ex-wife Luker who is the mother of Cameron was spotted several times in and out of the court room. Michael Douglas in a TV interview after the trial is said to have blame himself for the whores of his son by describing himself as a bad father. Saying that if he had father his son properly, his son would not have been in the situation which he was presently. Also trying to take full responsibility for what was happening to his son and family, he said his wife was very young when they had Cameron and did not have much of what was needed to do the job that was required since he (had some special parenting needs) to be up feet But that nevertheless she did offer all what she could. Judging from the outcome one might say all what she could was not enough. I personally think that where his son ended or was heading to did not have anything to do with his parenting skills and in fact, just the fact that he tries to take his son's blames or blames himself for what had happen and was happening to his son portrays him in my eyes as a good and responsible father. Well I guess that's just my opinion.
Michael Douglas also suffers a cancer of the throat which he has been battling with for a while. None of us can ever say that anybody is responsible for a sickness. Especially not cancer. And as if that was not ok, he was recently sued by his ex-wife for proceeds from his latest movie " Wall Street, Money Never Sleeps". Who claimed that according to their divorce settlement she is entitled to half of all his pay checks. The judge dismissed the case that the divorce settlement which she is talking about was reached in Santa Babara. Though this doesn't seem like the end of the case, at least for now Michael Douglas can cash his cheque without any worries and take care of his health. I wish him all the best.
(Edited after he turned 66) This picture shows a marvelously looking Michael Douglas but don't be fooled be appearances. The actor, producer and movie giant is actually going through what I can call a rough path. In fact a rough path is an under statement. Michael Douglas is currently struggling with health, legal and family issues as have already been explained above. The actor who turned 66 years some months ago is having a throat cancer and undergoing a chemotherapy and fighting hard to over come the sickness, while the son Cameron Douglas is still in jail for possession of drugs. He is also just coming out of a law suit filed by his ex-wife Diandra Luker, for proceeds from his recent movie which I personally love "Wall Street, Money Never Sleeps". The law suit was dismissed by the judge.Tthe judge dismissed the case on the basis of the fact that the divorce settlement was done in Santa Babara, one can't really say that Michael Douglas's troubles are over yet.
