Michael Douglas, during the Karlovy Vary international film festival, indicated he might be done with acting, having consciously taken time off since 2022. He emphasized a desire for a special project to motivate a comeback, while enjoying watching his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, work. Douglas reflected on his career longevity and past health challenges, recognizing the importance of not overworking. He also expressed concerns over the vulnerability of democracy in the US, noting that politics seem to be driven by profit motives rather than public service.
I've had a very busy career. Now, I have not worked since 2022, purposely, because I realised I had to stop. I did not want to be one of those people who dropped dead on the set.
I have no real intentions. But I say I'm not retired, because if something special came up, I'd go back. But otherwise, I'm quite happy.
I look at it generally as the fact of how precious democracy is, of how vulnerable it is and how it always has to be protected.
Politics now seem to be for profit. Money has entered democracy as a profit centre. People are going into politics now to make money.
