Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas’ children Dylan Michael Douglas and Carys Zeta Douglas have truly grown up before our eyes. It’s like it was yesterday when we saw them accompany their mom to get her damehood, and now they’re lighting up the red carpet with their killer fashion sense.
Born on Aug 8, 2000, in Los Angeles, CA, Dylan is the couple’s eldest together (with the exception of Michael’s son from a previous marriage named Cameron Douglas!) Less than three years later, they welcomed their daughter Carys, who was born on Apr 20, 2003, in Ridgewood, NJ. Despite being the kids of two A-listers, the two are incredibly down-to-earth.
While both have toyed with the idea of diving into the entertainment industry fully, the duo have so many other cool things going on. From their esteemed academics to their super-impressive hobbies, these two just get cooler and cooler every day (not that we’re surprised!)
On top of that, their parents are nuts about them, and never hesitate to brag about them in interviews or on social media!
See everything we know about Dylan and Carys below!
Carys Is an Actress Herself
Following in her parent’s footsteps, Carys is also embracing her acting genes. “Tonight is my daughter, Carys’ last performance as Wendla in ‘Spring Awakening’ at college,” Zeta-Jones wrote on Instagram. “She was just breathtaking. Congrats to the directors and the cast and crew. ♥️”
They love dancing with their parents
