Is Catherine Zeta-Jones BU?

[MissionItsPossible]

She famously said a million pounds wasn’t a lot of money and boasted of collecting houses like other people collect art.

If you think that was big-headed, brace yourself – because Catherine Zeta-Jones says she’s had enough of being modest.

The Welsh star, who is married to Hollywood legend Michael Douglas, says it is high time she stops apologising for her £200million fortune, stunning looks and Oscar-winning talent.

Catherine, 48, says: “One thing I’m not is humble any more. I’m sick of being humble. I really am. ‘So sorry I’m rich, so sorry I’m married to a movie star, so sorry I’m not so bad looking.’

“No sorrys. Enough. All that is important to me now is my work.

On one hand I say good for her, on the other it comes across as twatty.

That Dawn French you tube clip is brilliant

Oh my that you tube clip chav from Mumbles

I don't think she's beautiful, just averagely pretty with a rather aggressive smugly expression overlaid. Her performances are average-pointless. Her husband is vile; I don't think I've seen a film of his since the 80s.

I stopped bothering to watch stuff with her in it sometime ago. Has she actually improved or does she just have influence garnered from lots of dosh?

Good for her, I say!

She played Olivia De Havilland (sp) in Feud she was quite good in a campy over the top kinda way

I agree with her. If you've got it why pretend you are embarrassed or ashamed of it when your not?

I think she must genuinely love MD. Why else would she stay with him now he's mid 70s and she's late 40s. 25 years is a huge difference especially at the age they are now.

Her career never really took off.
Her children will probably move out soon.
She's had a lot of cosmetic intervention. I wonder if it's only MD's millions and the lifestyle they bought that made it all worthwhile.

How depressing that a woman says she's no longer going to apologise for her life, and quite a few people assume it must be a facet of her mental health problems

If a man said the same, nobody would ever conclude it was something that needed medicating.

To be fair every time kanye west opened his mouth or twitter about his "genuis" people were questioning his mental health. A pp mentioned CZJ Bi polar illness sometimes people with mental illnesses say outlandish things is all posters were saying

But Kanye said muuuuuch more than simply 'I have a nice life and I don't want to be humble about it'. His rants were extreme. This is just a woman stating she doesn't want to feel bad about her life.

You can't call that 'outlandish'

shes bipolar. Having seen that in action in a friend I can safely say that on a high people can say stuff that comes across as very very arrogant or thoughtless.... but it doesnt actually reflect the whole of their character.
And the sick of being humble comments might indicate that she gets very down about herself and wants to stop being unhappy?

estrelladam the point is if it wasnt inspired by her mental health problems why would she need to mention it? Who exactly is trying to make her apologise for her life? It sounds very much like a facet of depression.

Interesting how slagging Michael Douglas off for the crimes of being old and wrinkly are going unchallenged, when noone would say the same about an older woman with a younger man.

Any human saying a "millinon pounds isn't a lot of money" is being an arsehole regardless of sex. I think posters are being charitable to assume this might be down to a mental illness rather sheer cuntyness.

when noone would say the same about an older woman with a younger man.

I shall introduce you to any section of the internet discussing Bridgette Macron shall I? You see it less because it simply doesn't happen. Men don't fuck older women.

Michael Douglas is 73 I don't see anything wrong with women mostly in child bearing years not wanting to fuck a man in his 70s. Sorry.

Good for her. Sick and tired of people expecting women to apologise for success and beauty.

'imagine she has to have sex with Michael Douglas though so swings and roundabouts'

Quite and then hear the self confessed sex addict publicly say his mouth cancer was caused by all the cunnilingus or summat similar

She's a moderately talented actress who owes her wealth and fame mostly to a) being stunningly beautiful and b) marrying Michael Douglas.

And that's fine.

But I don't envy her in the least. No seriously, I don't. She and I are about the same age but with all that plastic surgery she's had on her beautiful face, she's starting to look freakish. And as her husband..... bleaurgh! Also, what has she been doing career wise recently? Not a whole lot if I'm not mistaken. And sure, being super-rich must have its moments, but you start to take it for granted pretty soon, and when you're surrounded by people as rich or richer, you don't really feel priviliged even though quite obviously you are.

So I'm happy you're happy, CZJ, but I would not want to change places with you.

Any human saying a "millinon pounds isn't a lot of money" is being an arsehole regardless of sex.

there's a context. It's unfortunate, but a million pound doesn't make you "rich" nowadays. Just pop on rightmove and zoopla and look at the price of properties in London. No in the grand scheme of things, it's not that much, many of us manage with way less than that, but there is a staggering number of people with a lot more.

It's not such a life-changing amount that you can afford to retire and live in luxury all your life. The £148 million won by a lottery winner on the other hand...

Actually quite like her though

mad momma
Totally agree. There is no need for those comments

I also agree with pp there is a difference between being humble and apologizing for your money, husband or talent.

I think of it as a humility ---- arrogance spectrum.

Humility is thinking you have low importance. Maybe appreciating she didn't get all that money because she is innately more valuable than other people. Her looks are subjective, fitting the time we live in, not an achievement, finite, usually not particularly important aspect to a person and for her have been useful for her success in the sphere she has succeeded in.

She doesn't need to say sorry or appear troubled by being beautiful and wealthy. Own it and enjoy it. Some degree of humility though is preferable in all of us.

job

Oh yes they do......they certainly do.

Said by a much older woman fucking a much younger man.

:) :)

There was context to her £1 mill remark. She said "it's not a lot of money to us" in court over her wedding photos. I think she was donating the cash to charity and was making it clear she wasn't selling pics as an earner. They were rich anyway.

It's nice to see any woman happy, regardless of what it is that's made her happy.

I wouldn't want her life, pretty certain she wouldn't want mine, but I don't need to do her down because she refuses to be humble. No woman should feel she has to tamp-down her successes in life to make people like her.
