Michael Douglas reacts to son Dylan’s new venture into the spotlight — what he said

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones couldn’t be prouder of their son Dylan, and his next move.

Earlier this week, the couple’s eldest son, 24, announced that he is launching a weekly political series on Sirius XM, mere months before the defining November election between Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

In addition to the budding media personality, the Fatal Attraction actor and the No Reservations actress, who have been married since 2000, are also parents to daughter Carys Zeta, 21, plus the former is a dad to son Cameron, 45, shared with ex-wife Diandra Luker.

Following Dylan’s exciting announcement, both Michael and Catherine took to Instagram to express their support.

Michael, re-posting his son’s first post about the show, titled Young American, to his Instagram Stories, wrote: “Check out my son [Dylan’s] new podcast Young American on @siriusxmprog.”

Catherine, also sharing the post to her Stories, endearingly wrote: “Wow!! So impressed… and proud.”

Through Young American, which will launch this September 14 and will run on the SiriusXM Progress channel 127 on Saturdays at 11AM, Dylan intends to both inform and motivate his generation when it comes to the political issues impacting their future.

In his post, he wrote: “It’s been a wild ride the last couple of years. From the start of forever wars, the first Black president, culture wars, and now a second chance at a first female president, my generation has lived through some of the most transformative and tumultuous times in our history; and it’s only gonna get crazier.”

“I wanna take you through it,” he then declared, and detailed: “On my show, I won’t just talk you through the news of the day but underscore the larger issues spinning our country out of control.”
