Michael Douglas recounts drunken threat to Julia Roberts at Golden Globes party in memoir

Michael Douglas revealed in his newly released memoir, "One Helluva Ride," that he once made a vulgar threat toward Julia Roberts during a Golden Globes party. The incident occurred while Douglas, then 82, was producing the 1990 film "Flatliners," in which Roberts starred alongside her then-fiancé Kiefer Sutherland. Douglas said he was drinking heavily and, after seeing Roberts with his 13-year-old son Cameron, told her, "Take your hands off my son and take that Golden Globe and stick it where the sun don’t shine." The next morning his producing partner called to inform him that word of the episode had spread. Douglas later sent Roberts a bouquet of roses and apologized in person to both her and Sutherland, noting that they forgave him enough to complete the film. He added that his relationship with Sutherland remained friendly, while his friendship with Roberts did not endure. A spokesperson for Roberts did not respond to requests for comment. The memoir also details other aspects of Douglas's career, including a past affair with actress Kathleen Turner that ended when his wife and son visited the set.
