Douglas will collect his honorary award during the special tribute at the opening ceremony on May 16. The previously unreleased documentary on his life and legacy, titled Michael Douglas, The Prodigal Son, will be screened on the festival grounds for two days ahead of May 16.

Douglas said it’s always a breath of fresh air to be in Cannes, adding it’s an honor to return to the Croisette to open the festival after 50 years in the business.

“From my first time here in 1979 for The China Syndrome to my most recent premiere for Behind the Candelabra in 2013, the Festival has always reminded me that the magic of cinema is not just in what we see onscreen but in its ability to impact people all around the world,” said Douglas in a statement.

The 76th Cannes Film Festival will take place between May 16 and 27, with Jeanne du Barry serving as the opening film. The Swedish director Ruben Östlund will preside over the jury, which will also include Paul Dano, Brie Larson, and Julia Ducournau.

The series follows Sandy Kominsky (Douglas), an actor and acting coach, and Norman Newlander (Arkin), his agent. The duo are living their best life in their later years in Los Angeles.

The Kominsky Method was created by Chuck Lorre who serves as executive producer with Al Higgins and Michael Douglas.

In its first season, the series won many awards including the Golden Globe for best comedy series in 2019 and Douglas won the Globe for best actor in a comedy series.

“The Kominsky Method has been a true passion project for me and it’s been an incredible experience to see the warm response from both audiences and critics. I’m excited to wrap up the story with this final chapter,” Lorre said in a statement.

The Kominsky Method centers on a washed up actor Sandy Kominsky, who runs an acting studio, and his long-time agent Norman. It stars Hollywood veterans Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin, who couldn’t say no to this Netflix comedy after Chuck Lorre gave them a call.

Douglas jumped on board after reading the script, despite the fact he hasn’t played a lead on TV in four decades. This project provided him with an opportunity to return to the small screen in a meaningful and steady way, and he embraced it with open arms.

“I hadn’t seen writing like this in a feature film. I thought, this is just a great opportunity to work with the great comedy stuff and learn a little more about timing. I’m always a sucker susceptible to a good comedy,” explained Douglas.

Actor’s dad Kirk Douglas was one of the people attending the ceremony, and he grew pretty emotional while addressing him. He also gave shout-outs to wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and son Cameron, but his tribute to the 101-year-old acting legend proved to be the most touching part.

“It means so much to me that you’re here today. Thank you for your advice, inspiration, and I’ll say it simply and with all my heart: I’m so proud to be your son,” said Michael Douglas.

One of the people in attendance was actor’s friend and colleague Jane Fonda, who met him on the set of The China Syndrome. She paid him a tribute during the ceremony and said it’s surprising it took him so long to get the star since he was always ahead of his time.

18 years ago, Chicago actress, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and her Ant-Man and the Wasp star husband, Michael Douglas, welcomed their first child together.

And now, they are sending their son Dylan off to college!

The teenager, who celebrated his birthday last month, has enrolled in Brown University and has already decorated his dorm room with pillows depicting the Union Jack and a poster of the Rolling Stones.

In acknowledgment of the milestone (as any mom would!), Catherine posted a slideshow to Instagram, complete with pictures set to Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra.

“Let the lectures really begin! I love you, Dylan. Good luck in the next exciting and enlightening chapter of your life,” she wrote.

But don’t worry, Catherine and Michael won’t experience empty nest syndrome just yet, as 15-year-old daughter Carys is still at home.
