Michael Douglas Says He Ended Five Relationships with Five Quick Calls for Catherine Zeta-Jones

Michael Douglas is sharing a very specific piece of his love story in his new memoir“One Helluva Ride.”According to the actor, when he and Catherine Zeta-Jones started seeing each other back in 1998, she told him she would only be with him if they were exclusive. His reply is the moment fans can’t stop talking about:“Wait here I have to make five quick calls.”That’s five other relationships, wrapped up in a single afternoon, so he could give the relationship a real shot.

The timeline backs up the romance. The two met in 1998, married two years later, and celebrated their 25th anniversary last November. Douglas also writes in the book that he loves Catherine in a way he has never loved any other woman. So yes, the five phone calls sound dramatic, but twenty-five years of marriage makes a pretty strong case for them.

It’s the kind of celebrity story that makes you think about commitment, boundaries, and what you’re willing to change for the right person. Would you end five situations at once for the chance at something real? Tell us in the comments, we’re genuinely curious what you’d do.
