Kirk was the movie idol of his day as he starred in film after film.

Douglas became an international star playing a boxing hero in Champion (1949), which brought him his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor.

He won raves for his role as a trouble musician in Young Man with a Horn (1950), playing opposite Lauren Bacall and Doris Day.

'I show him round the room to everybody or I show him out the window. He loves it.'

And, although he'd love to see his father more, Michael has his hands full with his own acting career, his children Dylan, 17, and Carys, 15, whom he has with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, and now he's a grandfather to his son Cameron's daughter.

The 73-year-old star explained: 'Catherine is wonderful. It's a great time. 

'Dylan is off to college next year. 

So close: Michael with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones in 2017; he hinted they may have empty nest syndrome soon

'Cameron is doing really well. He got back his career and he made me a grandfather. It's great. I'm really happy about it.

'I still have a kid in the house, grandchildren are great when you are an empty nester. I'm sure once Carys is out there, I'll really be reaching out.'

Michael would also like to see Dylan and Carys follow in his acting footsteps.

He added: 'Dylan, no doubt about it, Carys. I was talking with Dad the other day, between the two of us we've done over 160 movies covering 80 years, so another generation will get past 200 movies and a hundred years.'

Busy babe: The beauty not only acts in films and TV shows, but she also has her Casa Zeta Jones line

But, in the meantime, Michael is still keen to bag as many roles as possible.

He explained: 'I love it. I'm 73, it's fantastic. There's still a need for older actors.

'It's my 50th years in the business. I always go on what would be a good movie. 

'My producing background looking or what is a good film. But I'd never done a green screen movie. I never knew how hard it was to act when there's nothing there.'
