Michael Douglas has directly mentioned an extramarital relationship from over 40 years ago in his memoir.

According to media reports, he wrote that he was in a romantic relationship with Kathleen Turner during the period they were filming the movie ‘Romancing the Stone’ in 1984.

He recalled that after filming ended, they would eat together or hang out with the film crew, and after everyone had fallen asleep, he would go into Kathleen Turner's hotel room.

There were suspicions regarding the relationship between the two even at that time, but Michael Douglas did not admit to it for a long time.

He also included the situation with his first wife, with whom he was separated, in his memoir.

During the filming period in Mexico, his wife Diandra Luker visited the set, and ultimately, the relationship between the two did not last long.

Michael Douglas also wrote that because of his experience of his parents' divorce during his childhood, he did not want his son to go through the same thing.

Later, the two acted together in ‘The Jewel of the Nile’ and ‘The War of the Roses’ as well.

The memoir stated that they are now on friendly terms.

Michael Douglas ended his first marriage in 1995, began dating Catherine Zeta-Jones in 1999, and married her the following year.
