Catherine Zeta-Jones Skips Husband’s Memoir to Catch Up on Sleep

The 57-year-old star, who recently wrapped production on the third season of Wednesday, shared that her current professional demands leave no room for late-night literary endeavors. Speaking on the Today show, Zeta-Jones noted that she has no immediate intention of diving into the actor’s candid reflections on his decades-long career. While she encourages others to pick up a copy, she remains focused on balancing her own career commitments in London and Spain.

Douglas’ memoir has drawn significant attention for its unfiltered look at his past, including his history of substance use in the 1970s and various high-profile romances. The 82-year-old actor writes openly about his previous marriage to Diandra Luker and his past relationships with co-stars such as Kathleen Turner and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Despite the book’s revelations, the couple, who married in 2000, maintains that their relationship remains in good standing. Zeta-Jones has previously dismissed public scrutiny regarding their 25-year age gap, characterizing the longevity of their partnership as a product of mutual respect rather than anything more complex.
