Being an Emmy-winning comedy actor doesn’t mean you have jokes in real life.
Dylan Douglas, son of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, told Page Six this week that his famous father, like most regular dads, “can be embarrassing sometimes.”
Dylan, 22, said at the Broadway opening of “Good Night, Oscar” on Monday, “It’s more about what he says than who he is.”
“It’s just dad stuff. [He’s a] a little out of touch, absolutely bad jokes!” The Brown University graduate joked.
Michael, 78, and Zeta-Jones, 53, met at the 1998 Deauville Film Festival, where Michael introduced “A Perfect Murder” and the Welsh-born star spoke about “The Mask of Zorro.”
The “Fatal Attraction” star famously told Jones: “I want to be the father of your children.”
The two married in November 2000 and share Dylan and her 20-year-old sister, Carys. Michael also has an older son named Cameron, 44, from a previous marriage.
Michael is now deeply involved in The Douglas Foundation, a charity founded by his father Kirk Douglas and stepmother Anne Buydens.

The screen legend left most of his $80 million fortune to charity.
“Mostly charities [Kirk] Michael said at the event, “Children’s playgrounds, cancer research, a series of fields that he has been working on throughout his life.”
Michael came to the Broadway opening to support the show’s star Sean Hayes, whom he knew as a guest on “Will & Grace,” in which he portrayed a detective who likes Will. [Eric McCormack].
Hayes plays real-life concert pianist and actor Oscar Levant.
Levant, who played Gene Kelly’s sidekick in “An American in Paris,” was also famous for being one of the first celebrities to speak openly about her struggle with mental health. She was in and out of psychiatric hospitals frequently and was addicted to prescription drugs. She died in 1972 at the age of 65.
Other celebrities who have come to cheer on Hayes include “Smartless” podcast co-host Jason Bateman, Matt Damon, John Krasinski, Steven Spielberg, Cynthia Nixon, LaChanze, Steve Martin, Justin Theroux, Martin Short and Matthew Rhys.
Also, coming with good friend “Some Like It Hot” co-songwriter Scott Wittman and “I am Matthew’s work wife!” there was Matthew Broderick, who joked.
