Michael Douglas reveals Catherine Zeta-Jones' 'X-rated' demand if she beats him at golf

Hollywood couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have been married for 24 years — and they’re not shy about talking about their private life. During a recent appearance on US talk show The View, Wall Street star Michael, 79, revealed that his Welsh wife, 54, has a way of dealing with him after she beats him at a round of golf.

"What does she make you do when you lose to her?" The View co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Michael. In response he said: “Whip it out. She says, 'You've gotta whip it out'.

"Drop the trou and whip it out." In response Griffin put her hands over her mouth in shock before saying: “That’s the secret to a good marriage”.

Michael added: “I’m going to be 80 in September, so now I play off of ladies tees, too, so I don't have to do that [crouches over] anymore.” The View regular panellist Whoopi Goldberg chuckled at the raunchy confession.

Whoopi Goldberg, who has hosted the ABC show for decades also chuckled from her seat, and admitted that she didn't know how to address what her interview guest had just said.

Michael and Catherine, who was born in Swansea, met at the Deauville American Film Festival in France in August 1998, after being introduced by fellow actor Danny DeVito. They became engaged on December 31, 1999, and married at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on November 18, 2000.

The couple have two children: son Dylan Michael and daughter Carys Zeta. The family lived in Bermuda until 2009, and as of 2016, live in rural New York state.

Their marriage has not been without difficulties though. In 2010 Michael was diagnosed with tongue cancer. This trigger led to Zeta-Jones experiencing depression and she later went public with her bipolar disorder diagnosis. For the latest TV & Showbiz news, sign up to our newsletter.
