They gotta pay to play.
Michael Douglas joked he and his wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, “seduce” their two children, Dylan, 23, and Carys, 20, into hanging out with them by offering them lavish vacations.
“Catherine and I are blessed with the fact that our kids Dylan and Carys still like to travel with us,” the legendary actor, 79, shared on Tuesday’s episode of the “Today” show.
“And so, we just finished five weeks in India at Christmastime. And we’re always planning next year, what our trips will be and where we’ll go.”
Douglas — who also shares son Cameron, 45, with his ex-wife, Diandra Luker — said it’s a “treat” having his adult kids around him.
“Especially when you’re not forcing them. [I] said, ‘Catherine, look, they actually want to hang out with us.’ I said, ‘You know, it’s good,'” he said.
“But we’ve got good trips. We seduce them with good places to go.”
Douglas and Zeta-Jones, 54, met at the 1998 Deauville Film Festival while promoting their films.
Douglas famously told the “Mask of Zorro” actress, “I want to father your children.”
The pair tied the knot in November 2000 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
Although Dylan and Carys have two famous parents, that doesn’t mean they don’t embarrass them sometimes.
For more Page Six you love…
Last year, Dylan who is also an actor, said his dad tells a lot of “bad jokes.”
“More in terms of what he says, rather than who he is,” he exclusively told Page Six at the Broadway opening of “Good Night, Oscar” in April 2023.
“Just dad stuff. [He’s a] bit out of touch, bad jokes for sure!”
And in December 2022, Zeta-Jones, who plays Morticia Addams on “Wednesday,” compared Carys to her onscreen daughter’s character on the hit Netflix series.
“Carys, my real daughter as a little girl. 🤣,” the Oscar winner captioned footage of her daughter at a recital.
“I have had a Wednesday Addams in my life for 19 years and 9 months.🤣. Morticia and I love you my little rain cloud🖤.”
