Cringe and why?!

They’re still married.

Also, yes there is a HPV link with head and neck cancers and also anal and cervical cancers. But if someone has had a handful of relationships (or indeed just one with a non virgin) they can have HPV and pass this on. So a married man with a woman whose “body count” (sorry couldn’t think how else to phrase it) is 2 could also contract a head and neck cancer after a faithful marriage with great sex where he gives her oral sex as part of their foreplay like a good guy. Just like getting cervical cancer doesn’t make someone likely to have been a slapper! That’s an awful thing to think.

Son of one of the world’s biggest movie stars, an Oscar winning film producer and actor. He’s 82 years old. There are plenty of other people who are considerably younger and less talented that has published autobiographies. If you’re not interested don’t buy it or read about it.

He was a nepo baby. Was handed his career on a plate. Is now past it. Can't accept it. Trying to have one last grab at notoriety. Arrogant twat.

Not a fan then 😁

Yes his early life must have been interesting, knowing all those old school Hollywood stars

I assume he left out the bit about his alleged violent rape of Natalie Wood.

I cant stand Michael Douglas or his father and i don't know how Catherine Zeta Jones could stand in family photographs next to a man like Kirk Douglas. She did however publicly support John Leslie so there's that.

No, she didn’t. Also, John Leslie has never been convicted of any crime.

I remember this being reported a few years back. He blamed his throat cancer on oral sex. I cringed with horror when he announced it to all and sundry.
Poor Catherine Zeta.
How mortifying for her, and their children 😡

Same

whilst increasing awareness is good I don’t think that’s what he was doing it seemed more boastful almost about him pleasuring women. Cringe indeed

Maybe OP is part of his publicity machine; now we're generating publicity
I won't read it; liked him in some earlier films, but if book main selling point is his affairs with co stars, yawn....
