Michael Douglas has finally revealed why he refused to appear on David Letterman's talk show for almost two decades.
In his new memoir One ****** uva Ride, the Wall Street actor recounted how he had promoted various projects on the Late Show with David Letterman.
"I had been a regular guest on Letterman's show earlier in my career, but the last time I was on, I felt David went too far," he shared.
Douglas went on to recall how Letterman had played "without warning" a TV commercial that his actress mother, Diana Dill, had appeared in.
"(Letterman) started grilling me about it. It felt like he was making fun of my mother," the 82-year-old continued. "(That appearance) left me feeling like he had a real nasty sense of humour... After that, whenever the producers of the show requested to have me back on, I always refused. I said no for 18 straight years. Dave wrote me personal letters to apologise, but my feelings didn't change. He had crossed a line."
However, Douglas decided to "bury the hatchet" and announce that he was battling advanced tongue cancer during an interview on the Late Show with David Letterman while promoting his movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps in 2010. He has since recovered from the cancer after undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

In his new memoir, One ***** of a Ride, Douglas recalls that Kobe Bryant, who lived above Zeta-Jones' home in Pacific Palisades, California, kept stopping by while the couple was trying to make their long-distance relationship work.
"Apparently Kobe kept finding excuses to stop by Catherine's house. I'm not sure how many times he 'lost his dog,' but it was a lot!" Douglas wrote.

Catherine Zeta-Jones just wants to put her feet up at home, and her husband's memoir can wait!
The Hollywood star revealed that she is yet to read Michael Douglas' recently released memoir, ****** led "One ****** uva Ride." She said her demanding, tight work schedule is the main reason she hasn't read the book.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas first crossed paths in 1998 at the Deauville Film Festival. They got married at New York's Plaza Hotel in 2000. Their 25-year marriage brought them two children, Dylan and Carys.

Sydney Sweeney's blonde bombshell aesthetic just might be hereditary.
The "Euphoria" actress and the late Marilyn Monroe are distant relatives, according to a new MyHeritage study shared with USA TODAY.
The genealogy research site notes the actresses are ninth cousins, once removed, meaning that there is a one-generation gap between them.
The Hollywood darlings share the common ancestors Ezra Perry and Elizabeth Burgess, 17th-century British settlers in Massachusetts, through Sweeney's father, Steven Sweeney, and Monroe's biological father, Charles Stanley Gifford, according to the online genealogy company.
The Perry-Burgess lineage also includes former President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Gen. Douglas MacArthur.

It took Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner a minute to get on the same page about coming clean about their love affair from decades ago.
In his new memoir One **** uva Ride, Michael, 82, revealed that he and Turner, 72, had a secret romance while filming the 1984 flick Romancing the Stone in Mexico, during which he considered himself separated from his then-wife Diandra Douglas, according to an expert on the book obtained by People.
A source tells Examiner that "at first" the Wall Street actor's "decision to come clean didn't go over well" with the Body Heat actress.
"She's an incredibly private person these days, the last thing she wanted was for people to be talking about her **** life, even if [it] was 40 years ago," the source explains.

Michael Douglas, firmly in his smooth silver-fox era, has opened the door into secret compartments of his life. Douglas, 82, has just published an incredibly dishy, wildly entertaining, at times both hilarious and painful new memoir, One ****** uva Ride. It's a tale that spans generations of Hollywood royalty, from his father Kirk's rise to stardom to his own run of classic films as both producer and actor: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), The China Syndrome (1979), Romancing the Stone (1984), Wall Street (1987), Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), and Falling Down (1993), to name some of the biggest. Written with Shane Salerno, the book is one of those rare memoirs that both entertains and sheds light on a lost world of Hollywood of glamour and decadence, with lots of ****** and drugs and even some rock & roll.
To discuss all this, Douglas has invited me into his palatial apartment overlooking New York City's Central Park, one of several homes he owns and enjoys. He's a welcoming and gracious host, no servants or ****** istants bustling about. Just Douglas padding around in his socks, still as slim, handsome, and charming as ever. Douglas makes me a coffee, and we sit down in a living room with a view of his two Oscars, an Emmy, and other awards. Between Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, the trophy case is so large it fills up a corner of the massive living room.

"She's my wife, my best friend, and my life partner. I could never lose her," Douglas writes in a passage published by Entertainment Weekly.

In the new book, Douglas, 82, shares an extraordinarily candid account of his cocaine and alcohol abuse, which resulted in some regrettable moments in his life.

Rob Reiner's death cast a different light on the friendship he shared with Michael Douglas, but the connection between the two men was forged long before their relationship became part of a tragic story.
Michael has now revealed that some of their most meaningful conversations centered on their sons and the pain of watching them struggle with drug issues.
In his memoir, "One ****** uva Ride," the 82-year-old recalled a friendship where two fathers could speak openly when neither had easy answers.

For Michael Douglas, the family struggle was deeply personal. His son Cameron Douglas battled addiction and eventually served seven years in federal prison on drug-related charges.

Michael Douglas has recalled how he once had a "heartbreaking confessional" with Rob Reiner regarding their sons' troubles.
The This Is Spinal Tap director, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found dead at their Brentwood, Los Angeles home last December.
The couple's son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder over their deaths. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial in custody.
On Monday, The Los Angeles Times published an excerpt from Michael's new memoir, One ******* uva Ride, in which the Oscar-winning actor described a conversation he once had with Reiner.
"We both had sons with serious drug issues and we both, at times, had been at the end of our rope," he writes, according to the outlet. "It was a heartbreaking confessional for us, but I know we gave each other some measure of comfort during the hard times."
Previously, Rob had discussed Nick's substance abuse issues and rehab stays. The pair made the 2015 film, Being Charlie, about his experiences.

"No, no, it's not what it was," the actor told Aitkenhead of how he became monogamous with his now-wife. "What Catherine said is, if we're going to continue this, then I want it to be monogamous. And so I therefore, that evening, you know, made some calls to some people I was seeing, and that was that."
In her article, Aitkenhead writes that Douglas then gives her an expression that "suggests that he thinks he's just corrected me."

Michael Douglas is opening up about a painful part of his childhood and why he waited until after his famous father's death to discuss it publicly.
In his memoir, One ****** uva Ride, Douglas, 82, revealed that his father, Kirk Douglas, physically abused him when he was young, according to an ****** ociated Press report published Monday, October 5.
Asked by the outlet whether he could have written the book while Kirk was still alive, Michael had a simple answer: "No."
"Because I was very uncomfortable talking about the early years and his physical abuse," Michael explained. "He was of a generation that hit; my mother used the hairbrush. He was tough."
Per the report, Michael said those experiences affected his relationship with his father long after his childhood.

Michael Douglas has claimed that someone plotted to stab him with a HIV-infected needle at the 1992 Oscars.
In his memoir, One ******* uva Ride, the Basic Instinct actor recalled being met by an FBI agent and a police sergeant when he arrived on the red carpet at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles to present the Best Actress award.
They informed him that there was a "credible threat" to his life.
"We have information that someone will try to stab you with an HIV-infected needle tonight," Douglas recalled the authorities telling him in the book, according to Page Six.
"This was during the height of the AIDS crisis, and getting stabbed with an infected needle would essentially be a death sentence."
According to the Wall Street star, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents were undercover throughout the crowd in an effort to thwart the plot.

NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Douglas, the award-winning actor and producer, recently turned 82. He is a cancer survivor, a recovered addict, a married man, the father and son of actors. He is also an author, who begins his memoir with a message of thanks to his family — past and present and future — for the "sense of immortality."
Immortality.
"Many times my father was asked, 'Kirk, are you jealous of your son?'" he said during a recent interview at a Manhattan hotel, referring to his late father, fellow actor and sometime combatant Kirk Douglas. "And he said, 'Jealous?' This is a sense of immortality, a continuity of generations.'"
Family is how Douglas anchors his legacy and his place in a world he fears is breaking down. But there are other ways to live on past your own time: starring in cultural touchstones like "Fatal Attraction" or "Basic Instinct," or writing a 500-page book that is called "One ****** uva Ride," a famous man's journey from rebellion and coming-of-age, to midlife success and transgression to the inevitable reckoning with mortality and past mistakes.
Publishing on Tuesday, his memoir is framed around the making of some of his most notable movies, including "Basic Instinct," "Fatal Attraction," "Falling Down," "Romancing the Stone" and two films that brought him Oscars: as a producer of best picture winner "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and as star of "Wall Street," when his turn as corporate raider Gordon Gekko brought him the prize for best actor and helped make "Greed is good" a catch phrase for the late 1980s.

Michael Douglas' "One **** uva Ride," out next week, is one of the most earnest and entertaining celebrity memoirs you're likely to read, covering his career as an Oscar-winning actor and producer along with his occasionally **** py personal life — both in incredible detail.
But the book almost didn't make it to bookstores on time, TheWrap can exclusively report.
According to insiders with knowledge of the situation, it nearly missed its deadline, which would have been catastrophic for publisher Grand Central Publishing, as the book was set to publish on Oct. 6. A multimillion-dollar advance had been paid to Douglas, with foreign rights sold in 25 countries and an extensive media tour plotted that included interviews with the New York Times, **** ociated Press and NPR, as well as appearances on shows hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, Bill Maher and Joe Rogan (plus, of course, the hosts of "The View"). The pressure was on.
"We knew Michael's book was going to go far and push boundaries," one insider said. "But we didn't expect it to go as far as it did, and to have that level of detail about his personal life and receipts for the most unbelievably wild and hilarious stories."
In the book, Douglas tells stories that he hasn't ever shared, revealing new details about some of his most famous productions, along with previously untold stories from private life (both, as you can imagine, are full of revelatory, drop-your-book-in-your-lap moments). It's a hoot.
