Michael Douglas might have announced his retirement earlier this year, but his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones isn\u2019t so sure. As she put it in an interview with The Times published Saturday, \u201c\u2018retirement\u2019 is a flexible concept.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zeta-Jones elaborated, \u201cMichael has definitely earned the chance to slow down. But I never say never. He\u2019s his father\u2019s son and loves to work.\u201d<\/p>\n
While speaking to attendees at the Karlovy Vary Intentional Film Festival in July, Douglas said, \u201cI have no real intention of going back. I say I\u2019m not retired, because [if] something special came up, I\u2019d go back. But otherwise, I\u2019m quite happy to watch my wife work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zeta-Jones is certainly working. The actress is currently starring in the second season of \u201cWednesday\u201d alongside Jenna Ortega. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we first met I didn\u2019t know who she was. It took me one moment on set to work out who she was going to be. It was very clear that she was a phenomenon,\u201d she said of her young costar. \u201cI mean, forget the show, just her as a young woman, as an actress, the way she is. She has a smart head on her shoulders.\u201d<\/p>\n
The opportunity to engage with a story about the Addams family under the wing of Tim Burton was too good to pass up, she added. <\/p>\n
\u201cTim really wanted to incorporate the family into the show,\u201d Zeta-Jones said. \u201cI got to bend into the comedy and the emotion, the vulnerability. Morticia is like all of us. We\u2019re strong, but we\u2019re vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n
