In recent years, he appeared in Marvel\u2019s Ant-Man films and The Kominsky Method, while also running his production company, Further Films.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2022, the workload became too much, and Douglas took an intentional break, focusing on health, family, and supporting wife Catherine Zeta-Jones\u2019s career. His decision is shaped by surviving stage IV tongue cancer in 2010, which reinforced the importance of choosing projects carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He\u2019s not fully retired, though \u2014 his upcoming film Looking Through Water, co-starring his son Cameron, is in post-production. For now, Douglas says he\u2019s happy on the sidelines, waiting for something truly special to bring him back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/?p=71173\">ALSO READ&#8230;.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After nearly 60 years in Hollywood, Michael Douglas, 80, says he\u2019s ready to slow down \u2014 and maybe even step away from acting \u2014 before he \u201cdrops&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":71293,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71292"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71292"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71294,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71292\/revisions\/71294"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/71293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pulsperry.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
