March 1 (UPI) — Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones says her kids want to go into show business.
The 47-year-old actress discussed Dylan and Carys, her “talented” 16-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter with husband Michael Douglas, on Tuesday’s episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”
“You know, I know it’s going to be hard for them, because they’ve got their grandfather, Kirk [Douglas], they’ve got me, they have Michael, but they so inherently love it and they’re good!” Zeta-Jones told Kimmel. “They go to summer camp every year — they do, like, three musicals and straight plays — and they love it.”
“I’ve had a wonderful life in this business, so if they want to do it, they know the hardships and the percentages of who makes it and who doesn’t, so I just think that they’ve got the talent and I know that they have the drive,” she said.
Zeta-Jones and Douglas, the son of “Spartacus” star Kirk Douglas, married in 2000 following Dylan’s birth. The actress shared a photo on Instagram of her son and daughter laughing in January.
“‘When you’re smiling, when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you,'” she quoted the song “When You’re Smiling” in the caption.
Zeta-Jones will next play actress Olivia de Havilland in the FX series “Feud: Bette and Joan.” The new Ryan Murphy project stars Susan Sarandon and Jessica Lange as Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, respectively, and premieres Mar. 5.
