    Michael Douglas, a supporting daddy and not shy a bit about the commenting on his eldest son’s drug dealing conviction.

    Aware that the prison might bring good for his son, he says, “Cameron is fine. He has been sentenced and is doing his time. I’m sure he will be a better man for it.”

    Standing with him together facing the “a rough year on the personal front” his wife, Catherine Zeta Jones and their two children, Dylan Michael, 9, and Carys Zeta, 7, he feels so lucky.

    “I’m so fortunate I have Catherine, who is a great wife,” he says. “I must also say that I’m really cherishing having the young kids in my life, although they’re making me age fast.

    Married with Zeta-Jones with 25 years apart and having young kids in his age, he admits his advancing years have taken their toll on his body and took lots of effort to join his young kids to play.
    “I can’t catch them,” he says. “They run faster than I can. God knows, I had my knees replaced, but I still can’t catch them,” says the 66-year-old Douglas. “But the truth is I do have the time with them. I cherish the time with them. I’m picking a lot fewer projects now. It’s tough to get me out of the house.”

    His marriage to Zeta-Jones is still going strong despite big age gap, which, is not an issue for him.

    “I can understand why certain ladies who have their own careers want someone a bit older,” he says. “In Hollywood, sometimes couples who are both acting compete. It’s something else when someone is at a different stage of their life and career. There is no competition.”

    In his new film “Solitary Man,” opening Friday, he plays a former car-dealership mogul who must deal with his true love and ex-wife (Susan Sarandon), his rich, vengeful girlfriend (Mary-Louise Parker) and her 18-year-old daughter, who ends up in bed with him during her college orientation trip.

    This fall Douglas reprises his role in Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street 2” as Gordon Gekko and next project is Liberace with Matt Damon playing his lover.
