Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ lookalike daughter Carys shines in new photos of life away from famous family
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones’ two children, Dylan and Carys, are stepping into their own as confident adults finding their own place in the world.
Dylan, 24, and Carys, 21, are embracing life away from their famous family roots, with Dylan stepping into his own as a political commentator, and Carys continuing her studies at Brown University while also dabbling in acting.
However, for a beautiful fall weekend, her dad Michael, 80, decided to pay her a visit, and shared a pair of stunning photos with his daughter that showcased not only her beautiful surroundings, but also their similar features.
Carys looked so much like a combination of her famous parents in the selfies Michael posted, taken near a lake and against the gorgeous fall foliage of Providence, Rhode Island, where the Ivy League school is located (and is also Dylan’s alma mater).
“Visiting my daughter Carys at school on a fall Sunday!” the Oscar winner captioned his post, with fans leaving adoring responses like: “Carys looks like a mixture of you both. Beautiful girl,” and: “Beautiful daughter and dad,” as well as: “Lovely papa and daughter photo xx.”

Michael and Catherine are incredibly proud and loving parents, although the former has spoken on occasion about the trouble with being an older parent, having been mistaken on more than one occasion for his kids’ grandfather.

“I said, ‘Well, I don’t know, man. Yeah, OK.’ I’m not gonna take it personal, I think they’re just trying to be nice.” He still did dub the entire graduation festivities a “lovely experience,” despite it all being virtual.

He reflected at the time about what the prospect of becoming an empty nester would be like with his wife, 55 (Dylan was already studying at Brown by that point, although he has since graduated).
© Getty Images“There is that moment when they’re gone, they’re out of the house and they’re gone, and you look at each other and in the back of your mind you’re thinking, ‘What are we gonna talk about?'” he confessed. “As a marriage, so much of your time revolves around talking about your kids — what they’re doing, how they’re doing, this and that, so it’s easy conversation.”
