Actor Michael Douglas attended the Italian Grand Prix and got up close and personal with the Aston Martin safety car. However, things took an unexpected turn when he tried to sit inside the car. In a video shared on Instagram, Michael can be seen climbing into the car and accidentally hitting his head on the side of the roof due to the car being lower to the ground than he expected. Despite the mishap, Michael laughed it off and jokingly said, “How low can you go? I guess not enough!”
While Michael saw the funny side of the incident, many of his followers expressed their concern for his safety. Some urged him to be careful and watch out for his head when dealing with low cars. It’s clear that the fans care about Michael’s well-being and want to ensure that he avoids any injuries, especially when engaging in activities like sitting in a low-slung sports car.
Aside from his F1 adventures, Michael has been traveling to various countries over the summer, including Monaco, Israel, and Mallorca. During a recent visit to Mallorca, he was honored with the Master of Cinema 2024 accolade at a film festival. In his acceptance speech, Michael revealed his plans to semi-retire and spend more time in Spain. He expressed his love for Mallorca and his intention to spend six to seven months out of the year there, although he made it clear that he has not fully retired from acting.
Michael’s decision to spend more time in Spain will have a significant impact on his family life. He and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, have been based in the United States for over a decade while raising their children, Dylan and Carys. With the children now grown up and out of the house, the couple is considering splitting their time between Bermuda and Europe. They recently listed their Irvington home for sale, signaling a new chapter in their lives as empty nesters. Catherine expressed that it felt like the right time to move on from their current home now that their children have left.
Michael Douglas’s recent F1 adventure and future plans demonstrate his love for travel, new experiences, and spending time in different parts of the world. While the incident with the Aston Martin safety car provided some comedic relief, it also highlighted the importance of being cautious and mindful of one’s surroundings. As Michael enters this new phase of his life, it will be interesting to see how his decision to semi-retire and spend more time in Spain will impact his career and personal life.
