He explained that in reality the first date they had was in the presence of Antonio Banderas and Melanie GriffithBut it turned out so well for both of them that Catherine invited him to dinner that night with the rest of her companions.
“We sat down and had one last drink. It was probably a big mistake, but I looked at her and said: ‘I just want you to know that I will be the father of your children’. She held my gaze and replied: ‘I had been told a lot about you, and I suppose they were all true. Good night’. And then he got up and left “, he remembered.
Douglas was convinced that he had ruined the opportunity he had with the star of the moment, but fate reunited them again and he had the opportunity to redeem himself with the woman whom he described as the great love of his life.
