First, let us tell you why the Hollywood couple chose Bermuda as a place for their family haven.
Why Bermuda?
Though Michael Douglas was born in New Brunswick (New Jersey) in the USA, he has a multi-generational connection to the small Bermuda nation. Through his mother, Bermudian-American actress Diana Douglas, Michael is related to one of the oldest and most notable families on the island. Imagine: his ancestors lived there in the 17th century!
The actor is proud of his roots. He said, “My mother’s Bermudian. Her family’s been on the island since 1610, and I’ve been going all my life. In fact, I celebrated my first birthday here.” The actor finds it comforting to return to this tiny island as he has many relatives there (around 70). Thus, Douglas considers Bermuda a real family spot. There’s a funny story about how it all began. When their son, Dylan, was only 22 months old, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were searching for a weekend getaway. Their home was in Manhattan in New York City. So the family strived to escape from the city bustle.
