In a recent interview, Michael Douglas show both optimism and incredible perspective on life, being a celebrity, and fighting cancer.
“When you are a celebrity, nothing remains secret for very long. If it helps bring attention, then that is a major upside to this whole thing. Millions of families are going through the same thing my family and I are now going through. If I can bring any relief or encouragement, that’s the good news.”
Michael explained that despite his troubles, he’s still optimistic:
“Life is not all ha-ha-ha. But I’m in good spirits. I’m an optimistic guy. Nothing has deterred me from my belief that I am going to beat this. My doctors’ prognosis is for a full recovery. I have no reason to doubt them.”
Douglas also commented on his son, who is serving a prison sentence for selling drugs:
“Cameron is a really capable guy who conducted himself atrociously. In the last few years, he was strung out. I missed him. Incarceration really gets your attention, finally. This might be enough now. My visiting him is very limited, but I know I have my son back.”
Michael Douglas is showing some real wisdom and courage during this difficult time, and it’s truly inspiring to see him work through it!
