Michael Douglas Addresses Rumor He Went to Rehab for Sex Addiction in Tense Interview

Douglas said a British tabloid invented the sex-addiction claim and cited his memoir to deny sleeping with “so many women.”

  • On Sunday, October 4, Michael Douglas sat for a The Sunday Times profile discussing his memoir, One Helluva Ride, where the 82-year-old actor addressed long-standing rumors about his personal life and romantic history.
  • Douglas blamed a British tabloid editor for originating the "sex addict" narrative, insisting in his memoir that "it wasn't true" and he was never a "f**king sex addict."
  • The actor also admitted to a secret affair with Romancing the Stone co-star Kathleen Turner while filming the 1984 movie, a relationship they kept quiet for 40 years.
  • Discussing his marriage to Catherine Zeta-Jones, Douglas recalled committing to monogamy by ending other relationships, noting that while "marriage is a lot of work," they are currently "in good shape."
  • Turner later told People she holds no ill will regarding the confession, stating, "Good heavens, what a fuss about something 40 years ago," while expressing support for the book.
