In a recent interview, Michael Douglas compares his current stage in life to that of Benjamin Franklin, highlighting the impact they both made in their later years.
Michael Douglas is finding some common ground with a Founding Father. In a March interview with CBS News, Douglas compared what his interviewer referred to as his 'third act' in life, to that of Benjamin Franklin , who became a Founding Father at 70 years old, leaving behind an incredible legacy. 'This has been a great time for me, but I've been very fortunate,' Douglas told the outlet. 'Catherine and I have been together, it'll be 25 years come this year.
While he was excited about getting into character with a new wardrobe, he opted out of getting prosthetics to look more like Franklin, saying he 'hate' that stuff. 'In terms of physical, we did, I did look at that picture and we did say, 'Well, let's give it a try… and the whole, the whole work.' But, it kind of – the producing half of my career took over, and I started figuring out, 'Well, let's see, the hotel is 45 minutes to the studio.
We had a great cast wonderful director in Tim Van Patten,' Douglas said during the Television Critics Association's news conference. 'I think it helped us in the sense that it was a real ensemble group. I think we all wanted to stay away from these sorts of historical pictures that are giving you a history lesson but don't really get into the intrigue, the gamesmanship, and the gamble that we had sort of talked about early on.
