Michael Douglas revealed the moment he realized his wife of 24 years, Catherine Zeta Jones, was “the one” during an interview for daytime TV show Lorraine.
The Hollywood alum, 79, revealed he and the Welsh actress, 54, are more in love than ever when he shared the heartwarming story on Friday.
The Basic Instinct star took a trip down memory lane as he fondly recalled the moment he fell in love with Catherine – and it was all down to their common passion, golf.
Chatting to Ross King, he said: ‘You know, Catherine loves golf. That was actually the closest we got together for the first time.
“Things were looking good and I said, ‘What do you think about golf?’ She said, ‘Oh, I love golf!’ and I said, ‘Oh, you love it?’ That’s too good to be true.
