London, Sep 27 (IANS) Veteran actor Michael Douglas was bowled over by wife Catherine Zeta-Jones when the two first met.
‘I just got struck down. I was just bowled over by Catherine. When I discovered she loved golf, I realised all my fantasies had come true,’ digitalspy.co.uk quoted Douglas as saying.
The 66-year-old actor also revealed that the 25-year age gap between the couple has been an advantage in their relationship.
He said: ‘I think sometimes in relationships, ladies like having a man who takes care of them, nurtures them. If you can’t find it in a man your own age, you find it in somebody who is older.’
‘But it’s been irrelevant to us, but people raise it and it’s a valid question. I mean, I’m going to be 75 when my son is 18 years old and my daughter is 16. But my dad is 93 and my mother 87. I tell my kids they are going to live to over 100,’ he added.
