Michael Douglashas some advice for his youngest son,Dylan Douglas.
On Thursday’s episode ofThe Ellen DeGeneres Show, the legendary actor — who recently celebrated his 75th birthday — reflected on aging and watching his three children grow up.
“I’m moving right along,” he said. “I had a cancer about eight or nine years ago where I sort of thought about that stuff. But once I got a clean bill of health after that, it was kind of straight on, feeling good.”
“Having a younger bride [Catherine Zeta-Jones] makes me feel good on one side, and I got the old man [fatherKirk Douglas] on the other side with still a full head of hair,” Douglas continued. “So it’s all good, you know, you can’t be an idiot about it.”
HostEllen DeGeneresthen began talking about Douglas’ three children — Dylan, 19,Carys, 16, andCameron, 40 — and shared a clip of his son Dylan diving off of a cliff into water.
“He’s a daredevil,” DeGeneres said. “Where was that?”

“That was, I think, in Sicily,” Douglas replied.
“He does all kinds of things like this,” DeGeneres added, showinganother photo of Dylan skydiving.
“He just did a skydiving thing,” Douglas said. “But I remember that age. It’s a hormonal thing, I think, for boys, testing yourself … I just think it — you know, what I did not like is he was the first one to jump.”
“I said, ‘Don’t be the first one to jump!'” theKominsky Methodactor continued. “Let a couple other people go off first to test it … So I said, ‘Okay, just don’t be first!'”
In August, Douglas shared an Instagram video of Dylan taking his leap out of the plane while skydiving. “No I wasn’t the Cameraman! 😂📸,” the actor captioned the daring clip.
Dylanshared another video of the skydiving adventureto his own Instagram account as well, cheekily writing in the caption, “Don’t tell mom…”
Dylan’s mother Zeta-Jones, 50, assured him she had seen the video, hilariously commenting, “Mom just found out😩😩😩😩.”
