In his recent memoirs, titled One Helluva Ride, Michael Douglas recounts a "terribly embarrassing" incident with Julia Roberts that occurred during the 1990 Golden Globes ceremony. The event took place during the production of the sci-fi thriller The American President, in which Roberts was the star and Douglas was a producer. At the ceremony, Douglas was nominated for The War of the Roses and witnessed Roberts being awarded Best Supporting Actress for her role in Paris. During the event, Roberts was accompanied by Kiefer Sutherland, her partner at the time and co-star in The American President, while Douglas was with his 13-year-old son Cameron. According to Douglas's account, as reported by The Independent, Roberts was hugging his son at the bar. Douglas, who was "pretty drunk" at the time, was "stunned" by the situation and told Roberts, "Take your hands off my son, take your Golden Globe and put it where the sun doesn't shine!" Following the incident, Douglas's production partner Rick Bieber approached him and said, "We need to talk, Michael." Douglas later apologized to Roberts and Sutherland at the production offices of The American President. He stated that they forgave him enough to finish the film, and he remained friends with Sutherland, though the relationship with Roberts was "a little less" after the incident. Douglas's memoir provides a candid look at the behind-the-scenes moments of Hollywood, highlighting the personal and professional relationships that shape the film industry. The story underscores the importance of personal boundaries, even in the midst of high-profile events and collaborations. Despite the awkwardness of the situation, the incident did not derail the production of The American President, which went on to become a notable film in both Douglas's and Roberts's careers.
