Days after Michael Douglas<\/a> appeared on The View<\/a> to promote his new memoir, One Helluva Ride, his longtime wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones<\/a>, also joined the table to talk about her new action series Kill Jackie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The subject of Douglas’ book was covered at the top of the discussion, and Jones explained why she hasn’t read his book just yet.<\/p>\n

“Look, I mean, I finished the third season of Wednesday<\/a>. Seven months, came straight to London. Started Kill Jackie promotion. Went to Bilbao, Spain, [for] Kill Jackie promotion. Came to New York only to see you girls, of course. I don’t need to go home and read about my husband,” she explained.<\/p>\n

When one of the cohosts remarked that she knows everything that’s in the headline-making text, though, Zeta-Jones shrugged in doubt. However, she clarified that she would eventually sit down and take it in.<\/p>\n

“No, of course I’m going to read it. I’m going to have that [when] I’m finished. I can sit down and read it. I know he worked really hard on it, and he’s really proud of it. And it’s part of a legacy of a great, great career, great guy, and I happen to be married to him,” she said.<\/p>\n

When Ana Navarro<\/a> noted that her favorite chapter of the book was the one about Zeta-Jones herself, describing it as bringing “tears to the eyes because it’s so beautiful,” Jones reacted with shock to say, “Maybe I should read it when I go home!”<\/p>\n

The cohosts then relayed that one passage in the book talks about how he fell in love with her on-screen in The Mask of Zorro<\/a>, and he told her he was going to be the father of her children on their first meeting.<\/p>\n

To that, Zeta-Jones said, “[It was] a little much. A little much\u2026. Usually, people’s reaction is, ‘Aw.’ I go, ‘No, no, no, no, no. You just think about that for one minute.’ You just met the guy. You’ve heard a lot about him. You’ve read a lot about him, and everything is true. Good night.”<\/p>\n

However, she later added, “Twenty-six years on, and I’m a lucky lady.”<\/p>\n
