It was his big return to Cannes: not seen on the Croisette for ten years and the screening of the film Liberace, Michael Douglas made a remarkable appearance this Tuesday, May 16, 2023 for the opening night of the Festival. Always very elegant, he arrived just before the team of the projected film, on the arm of the one who has shared his life since the end of the 90s, the incandescent Catherine Zeta-Jones, who posed with him in front of the photographers in a dress red Elie Saab with incredible neckline.
Highly anticipated by the public as well, the couple was present for a very specific tribute: this Tuesday evening, Michael Douglas indeed received a Palme d’Or d’Honneur, awarded by the mistress of ceremonies Chiara Mastroianni and the actress Uma Thurman to reward his entire career, he who has already received two Oscars.
A prize that greatly moved him. In a press release published a few weeks ago, he had already posted his “honor to return to the Croisette to open the Festival and speak our common language, that of cinema“. And this Tuesday, after having participated very smiling in a photo-call earlier in the day, it is with great happiness that he received his prize in front of the most important people in his life: his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, therefore, absolutely splendid in her ultra-sexy dress with an impressive neckline, and her daughter Carys (20), a budding actress.
“All his love” for his family
Already appeared with her parents during photocalls, the young girl was making her debut in an event of this magnitude for the first time. But she didn’t seem impressed at all: in her stunning white backless dress, the young girl was almost as sexy as her famous mom and seemed very proud to pose with them.
Moreover, in his short speech, which he concluded with a declaration of love for France (and in French!), the actor did not fail to address them “all his love for their support and patience“during his”long absences“. We imagine that he also had to think hard about his two sons, absent for the occasion: Dylan (23), the couple’s eldest son, as well as Cameron (44), born from a first union of Michael Douglas Visibly touched and proud, the two women rose first to launch a standing ovation, before the actor officially opened the Festival with Catherine Deneuve.
Jeanne du Barry, event film
Arrival from Venice where they spent a few days last weekend, the whole little family was able to meet the other guests of this great first evening on the red carpet, in particular the jury, led by Ruben Östlund and in which we find their compatriot Brie Larson or the two French Denis Ménochet and Julia Ducournau, or even the mistress of ceremonies Chiara Mastroianni who played her role with great class.
And we imagine that after this elegant opening ceremony, all three were able to attend the first film presented to open the festival, Jeanne du Barry. Also eagerly awaited on the red carpet, the film team also shone in front of the photographers, in particular Maïwenn, director and main actress of the project, and her main partner, the disparaged Johnny Depp, who plays there his first role only in French. and who did not let go of her hand.
