There was at least one secret in Catherine Zeta Jones’ and Michael Douglas’ marriage!
Catherine just underwent treatment for Bipolar disorder, which was triggered by Douglas’ struggle through throat cancer. But Michael says that he wasn’t aware of her disorder until just recently.
Said Michael:
“It’s hard for your wife to say ‘I’m depressed.’ It’s probably been going on for a while. But I wasn’t really aware of it. You know Catherine and Brits in general – Catherine is Welsh, you never see them in a bad spirits right? They always give the stiff upper lip, carry on and this and that.├óΓé¼┬¥
He continued:
├óΓé¼┼ôI’m really proud of her. There are some great medications out there now for people, it’s an issue that affects a lot of people.”
Michael and Catherine have decided to keep her Bipolar disorder a secret from their youngest kids, just to give them a little breathing room to understand what their father went through.
All in all, Michael feels blessed:
“It’s been a long year-and-a-half. Life had been good to me for a really, really long time and I was thinking I’m going to get hit by a truck, it’s been too good. So this karma in the last year and a half has kind of balanced things out, so I feel pretty good for the future.”
Such a positive outlook!
