Woah, massive respect! That shows a good example perhaps of why his marriage to CZJ has lasted so long.

He did. After the cancer treatment he's been looking a bit older actually.

aw that was the sweetest man-hug

Do note that this was broadcast in august 2010, so he's been dealing with it for a while.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Douglas#Personal_life

It was announced on August 16, 2010, that Douglas was suffering from throat cancer and will undergo chemotherapy and radiation treatment.[23] On August 31, 2010 Douglas appeared on Late Show with David Letterman[24] and confirmed that the cancer was at an advanced stage IV.[25] In November 2010, Douglas was put on a special weight gain diet by his doctors due to the excessive weight loss leaving him weak.[26] On January 11, 2011, he said in an interview that his tumor has gone. He also admitted that the illness and aggressive treatment had caused him to lose 32 lbs in weight.[27] He will have to have monthly screenings because there is a very high chance that the cancer could return over the course of the next two to three years.[28] Although Douglas has described the cancer as throat cancer, many doctors believe he was actually diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer.[29]

Wow. That was the most joyful and honest discussion of cancer I have ever seen. Huge thumbs up to both of them, and best wishes Michael Douglas.

His positive attitude comes courtesy of a supporting wife.

I was gonna say, I thought he had just recently announced that he was cancer-free... some dating and additional info would've been a plus.

What if it went down like this:

"I feel like I want to do something. Can I do something for ya?"

"Aaaaaa, give me a tug."

I hated every movie this guy has made, but people can change. So I have, and now I like him for his humility and sense of humor in such difficult times. I hope he beats it!

I'm not a huge fan of most of his movies, but I do appreciate "Romancing the Stone", "Falling Down", and "Traffic".

That is an incredibly bad suit.

Yeah, Falling Down was brilliant, and I don't say that about a lot of films. Also, don't forget some of his other gems: The Game, War of the Roses, Black Rain. Come on!

I think he's a great screen presence and a very underrated actor.

That's some crazy hair he's got going on.

I don't think stage IV = 80% remission/cure. As far as I know, resection is the only cure, but for lesser stages. Stage IV means (by definition) metastatic disease either locally or distant. Sadly, he will likely succumb to his disease.
