Michael Douglas sheds light on his bond with late director Rob Reiner
Michael Douglas was one of the celebrities that featured on CBS’ “Rob Reiner—Scenes from a Life” special. During his appearance, the 81-year-old actor talked about how often he and Reiner would talk about their lives. He also added that Reiner would often talk about his son with him too.He shared, “With this terrible tragedy we’re realizing how much pressure he was dealing with in his personal life with his son. I also had a son who had had drug issues. I’m happy to say he’s overcome them and is living a prosperous life. We did talk a lot about that and what you can do as a parent and what you can’t do. Knowing with all of that going on behind the scenes, this was a man who always gave it his best.”Douglas also talked about how the two would also bond and talk about their background, as both of the stars came from well-known families in the industry. He shared, “Well, my experience watching him was that I could never be the man that my father was. He can do everything. I mean, he was Spartacus. Once you go into the same business, it stares you in the face. And in Rob’s case, are you as funny as your father?” I think that also created his tenacity and his strength, and that’s something that’s not really talked about enough with Rob about his endurance.”
