Catherine Zeta-Jones fears
for baby Dylan’s future
Catherine Zeta-Jones fears that her baby son Dylan will
not be able to lead a normal childhood because of his
famous parents.
The Welsh actress who married film star Michael Douglas
in a high-profile wedding in New York in November, gave
birth to their son last summer.
“In two years’ time I want to be able to take
my son to the park and not have to explain why 20 people
with cameras are running after us”, Zeta-Jones
said in an interview with the TV Times.
“I hope this frenzy will die down so that he won’t
have to sacrifice the good things just because photographers
are documenting his every move.”
In her latest film, Traffic, Zeta-Jones, 31, stars alongside
Douglas as the pregnant wife of a drugs baron. She said
the film opened her eyes to the dangers of drugs and
that she worried the added pressure of having famous
parents may make Dylan vulnerable. “Think about
it, he’s the son of a famous mum, dad and grandfather.
His self-identity could be knocked constantly, because
he may have to work harder to make a name for himself
as a lot of people will have the attitude ‘Oh,
he’s from that family — everything is an easy
ride for him’.”
“Kids are at their most vulnerable when they’re
like that. It terrifies me”, Zeta-Jones said, adding
she would show the film to Dylan as soon as possible.
But it is not just her son she wants to protect from
media intrusions. She is also determined to protect
her marriage with 56-year old Douglas from what she
called “the media’s insatiable appetite for
any information, truth, lies, or plain old gossip.”
“I know there’s going to be a point when everyone
will have their knives out, and publicly looking to
photograph or write something that is detrimental to
us or how we feel about each other”, Zeta-Jones
said.
