Michael Douglas opens up about family woes

Michael Douglas has confessed he may have fallen short of being the perfect father while chasing his Hollywood career.

The 63-year-old actor told Vanity Fair how his father, Kirk, had very little time for him when he was growing up.

And the star admits he may have committed the same mistake with his son Cameron, who has been jailed for a federal drug conviction.

"My priorities were very similar," the New York Post quoted him as saying.

Douglas added much had changed since he exchanged vows with actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, with whom he has two kids, Dylan, 9, and Carys, 6.
