Michael Douglas has shared a painful memory from his past in his new memoir, "One Helluva Ride." The book details an incident from a 1990 Golden Globes party where a drunk Douglas confronted Julia Roberts, who was with his teenage son.
Douglas, who was producing the film "Flatliners" at the time, recalls seeing Roberts with his son and reacting aggressively due to his intoxication. He later realized the severity of his drunken outburst and issued an apology to Roberts.
While his apology was accepted and filming continued, Douglas acknowledges that the incident permanently altered his relationship with Roberts. He notes in his memoir that while he remained friends with co-star Kiefer Sutherland, his friendship with Roberts did not recover.
The memoir also touches upon Douglas' past struggles with alcohol and cocaine during the early 1990s, as well as difficult conversations he had with Rob Reiner regarding their sons' addiction issues. The book covers his extensive career and personal life.
