Michael Douglas‘ son Cameron is currently serving 5-years in prison for drug dealing has recently pleaded guilty for having drugs in his prison cell. Now, Cameron faces an additional 20 years behind bars, three year probation and $250,000 fine.
Douglas, 32, is charged with possessing items that tested positive for cocaine and heroin, which were found in his cell by an investigator. Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Anderson told the court one of the substances tested positive for methadone, which he described as “something that people take when they’re coming off a heroin addiction in order to facilitate the withdrawal,” according to a court transcript.
“God knows I am sorry,” records show he told the judge.
Michael released this statement about his son:
“Cameron accepts full responsibility for his conduct, which involved a small user-quantity of drugs. While he has made much progress, he is still not cured. Most people and their families are able to address this illness privately and outside of the spotlight. Unfortunately this has not been possible here, for reasons completely outside of his control. He thanks those that have rooted for his recovery and looks forward to the day when he will not disappoint.”
Cameron’s sentencing date is December 21.
Oh man! This makes me so stinking sad! What – cancer wasn’t enough to scare you away from smoking!? What’s wrong with people!
Michael Douglas‘ battle with stage IV throat cancer played out publicly at the end of 2010 and into 2011. The actor wasn’t shy about discussing his diagnosis and then treatment and recovery. But in an interview with Matt Lauer on TODAY in January, Douglas said some of his story — specifically the story painted by portraits snapped by paparazzi — had been documented without his permission, and he resented that. New photos in Star magazine won’t help.
Douglas is seen on the cover of the magazine and in photos inside smoking while traveling with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones on a yacht to Porto Venere, Italy, on July 21.
The 66-year-old Hollywood icon was a longtime smoker before his cancer battle.
Perhaps getting caught is more troubling for Douglas than the post-cancer puff. From that January interview on TODAY: “With the amount of paparazzi that they have and these video cameras, you know, you just can’t do anything … There was sort of a macabre enjoyment out of sort of watching me go down there for a while, I felt, by the paparazzi.”
I hope he quits! That poor wife of his – I would just kill my husband if he started smoking after going through throat cancer!
She looks amazing, he looks amazing! So happy to see them look so healthy!

Looking good!
Michael Douglas wants us all to know that he’s beating the the throat cancer that once threatened his life and he’s relieved!
In a new interview, he said, “I feel good, relieved. The tumor is gone. I think the odds are with the tumor gone and what I know about this particular type of cancer that I’ve got it beat.”
Don’t call for a celebration just yet, though. He says that he’s still not out of the woods completely. He said, “I have to check out on a monthly basis now to maintain. I guess there’s not a total euphoria. I’ll probably take a couple of months of getting checked out. But it’s been a wild six-month ride.”
Douglas tells Lauer that he “lost about 32 pounds” during his battle. “I’m eating like a pig” and building up loss muscle mass via workouts, he says. “I’ve put about 12 [pounds] back.”
Beating a life-threatening disease, he says, adds a “new depth” to his most important relationships.
“All of a sudden the affection from my family, from my friends, and from my fans hit me at a much deeper level than I would have ever imagined before,” he says. “And it gave me a really new appreciation of just how valuable, how precious good friends are and family. And it’s not that I disregarded them before but there’s a much deeper feeling.”
He continues: “I’ve talked to other cancer survivors about this…you just really, really appreciate what’s important in life.”
I hope he stays well, I love him as an actor, he’s one of my favorites.
