Michael Douglas admits to secret romance after lying about it for decades

  • Michael Douglas has admitted in his new memoir, One Helluva Ride , that he had a secret affair with Kathleen Turner while filming Romancing the Stone in 1984.
  • The Oscar-winning actor was separated from his first wife, Diandra Luker, at the time of the romance, although they were still legally married.
  • Douglas revealed that he and Turner kept the relationship entirely hidden from cast and crew, including director Robert Zemeckis and co-star Danny DeVito.
  • The fling came to an end after Luker visited the set in Mexico with their young son and confronted Turner, who subsequently called off the affair.
  • Douglas, who denied the relationship for decades during joint publicity tours and has been married to Catherine Zeta-Jones since 2000, said that he and Turner have remained close friends ever since.
