Michael Douglas recently revealed that he had a secret romance with Kathleen Turner while filming “Romancing the Stone.” In his upcoming memoir, “One Helluva Ride,” he admits they were romantically involved after denying relationship rumors for decades. Douglas describes Turner as “smart, funny, and sexy,” and notes their connection deepened during the 1984 film’s production in Mexico—a time when his marriage to Diandra Douglas was struggling.
Despite the affair, Douglas chose to keep it under wraps to protect his family. He recounts intimate moments shared with Turner but acknowledges that the affair’s secrecy ended when Diandra brought their son, Cameron, to the set. Turner expressed surprise at the revelation, stating she looks forward to reading the memoir. Douglas and Turner later worked together on projects like “The Jewel of the Nile” and maintained a friendship, even as he married Catherine Zeta-Jones in 2000.
