Michael Douglas is an American icon! He has such a rich body of work. So good to see him!
Oh so being an Americian "icon" means being an actor.? His politics stink --he is a filthy rich :star:. he has no idea about the average working man has to go theough--with the Biden

My late father told me a story about how nice this man was in the 1970s. My dad was a sky cab and used to derelict his work to talk to every celebrity he ran into. At the time MD was only TV celeb so my nutty Dad stopped him to talk about his father Kirk's career since that his contemporary and cinematic hero. Michael couldn't be more gracious. So much so that my dad's boss was looking for him cause dad wasn't where he should be so Michael ran back to where he was yelling out his
name alerting him that he was looking for him
Man! My dad used to make me laugh.
I was just a kid when Streets of San Francisco was on tv. I'm just now catching all those old reruns now. Great show. Great actor.
We love michael douglas
I only love my family and friends and my pets!!! Don’t care about celebrities
@@javiruiz8365 ok
You have to love him 😊
I Love, Love, Love Michael Douglas! I get chills looking at him, listening to his voice. ❤💓

... what a phenomenon is Michael Douglas...an institution in himself!!!!
Thanks M Douglas for your comments on the contribution my country :France , made towards America ' s Independence : 3 Cheers for the USA and France 👋
Michael Douglas is always Michael Douglas I love this guy
Absolutely love his movies Falling Down (1993), by Joel Schumacher, and the criminally underrated Black Rain (1989), by Ridley Scott.
If anyone wants to watch an AMAZING documentary, it’s a PBS two part series on Benjamin Franklin.
It’s so riveting and amazing. Definitely a must!
I saw it and I liked it
I wish Apple+ would release their stuff on DVD for people who don't stream, or can't....
why cant?
@@minigiant8998Not everyone is budgeted for cable, cell service and/or are too far from large cities, etc. 😊
He looks so much like his dad now.
SURE DOES. KIRK DOUGLAS WAS QUITE SOMETHING.
He's always looked like his dad😂
God bless all of you on the view ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
Great actor with a great swag! Micheal, Denzel and Sidney Poitier have the best walks!
Wow!! What a wonderful guy. I liked all his movies.
Hes Kirk's twin for sure
Wow! Unbelievable how he looks like his father Kirk! Incredible career! Both Douglas men! This was when actors were truly respected
Fantastic actor, his dad similarly. Icons of cinema
Dude is a legend in his own right.
Michael is a Hollywood Legend. Happy he came on the show :)
Did anyone else notice Michael’s coffee cup wasn’t fully on the coaster??? lol!
Wonderful head of silver hair
Loved the show. It's a part of history I knew nothing about and found it enthralling. Stunning Cinematography, costume and set design. Every frame looked like an artist's painting. Not a show for stupid people and France and Versailles is simply breathtaking.
Loving this show. So vibrant. Love the portrayal of Lafayette by Quebec actor Théodore Pellerin too.
I like it when a guest comes onto the view, they give a hug and a kiss to every lady on the view. Not just one or two.
I don't know why Sunny didn't hug him.🤨
I cannot wait to see this.
His new show Franklin looks amazing, I could listen to Michael’s voice all day, so fabulous like his Dad. And so lovely and handsome. A true icon and legend, what a diverse versatile career. 😍🥰😘🤩🌟✨ 🇺🇸 📺❤
So, am i the only one who noticed that Michael came out and hugged & kissed everyone on their cheek, except for Sonny? Just curious ...
It looked like Sunny didn't want to be kissed
Yes, I noticed it too but, I believe that was due to Sonny’s personal preference.
Having been interviewed myself, you are typically told what to do and not to do with the hosts.
Sorry, meant to say, maybe she had a cold?
Nope I noticed it right away maybe she doesn't like giving kisses some people are still afraid of covid or just feel uncomfortable with that much affection
@@decarlosperry5111 - he was the one initiating his 'affections' tho, but when he got to Sonny he just leaned in for a semi arm thingy; it wasn't that she was backing away from him - atleast not so's i noticed it that way?
Michael Douglas' Oscar winning performance in "Wall Street" is just extraordinary. But then later on he defined the word "DILF" with "Fatal Attraction", "Basic Instinct" and "Disclosure". The man has done some great films over the last few decades.
He was great in FALLING DOWN.
D-FENS!!
Ben was our first postmaster. and he thought it was silly that people could catch illness from cold drafts.
6:22 "There was a time back then when being a politician was almost like the priesthood." It's maybe a slight exaggeration, since there have always been politicians, since the dawn of time, that are in it for their own gains, but I do agree with his point that there is supposed to be a sort of reverence and dignity of the position based on the fact that it is, in fact, a serving position. A servant of the people, of society, etc.
A true superstar in all things tv movies guest star ! he really is fabulous
Michael Douglas is a great actor of all time 😊
Michael doesn't stand in his dad's shadow....rather did he's own thing & didn't ride his dad's coat tail to do it !!!!
His dad stood up against the right wingy-nest of John Wayne's Push For Theological Authoritarianism, when few others did (or, would...)
I love him on Wall Street I just watched the other day.
En France nous aimons Michael Douglas ❤
Il a toujours eu une relation particulière entre la France et la famille Douglas. 🥰
He looks SOOOOOO good. Love him!!!!
Why make this movie? Why now? Because he’s an actor whoopsie, he actually makes movies for a living.
A new start! A fresh start!
When the Trump show is hopefully finally over!
Oh that show looks really good actually
Elon may be good at buying companies that are already up and running and he's good at getting a lot of welfare from our country to the tune of billions but I don't think anybody thinks correctly that he is a genius
How have you made billions?
I was shocked to this super kool dude in that picture "Ant man "!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Me too Sunny. Fatal Attraction was my favorite as well The American President.
He would think omg McDonald’s and light bulbs everywhere 😂
Franklin was a Founding Brother. A more apt description.
❤🏆
Wore, did you see Mike just slip Whoopi the tongue?
😂😂jk
Ben Franklin traded slaves too, so let's not get carried away with over-crediting his opinions on democracy.
That was a thing in that time. Was is not acceptable now. Specifically when slavery is still being practiced in Africa.
@@nmmk9134- If was is not acceptable now, then the issue of slavery in America is a moot point, right?
Got it!👍
He didn’t tho he was against slavery read a book
@@shereesheree7735nah America slavery is not unique or worth caring about
@@nmmk9134y'all love to say they had slaves in Africa as if that makes it any better or absolves the US of its dirty past
I would love for the women of the view to listen or read the smartest man in the world, Noam Chompski.
They would be very enlightened.
Joy, are you talking about the founding father Benjamin Franklin, who owns slaves
Michael Douglas' real name is Michael Danielovitch.
😮 And?
Hitler was Schicklgruber.
@@amyreynolds3619It's a reference to his recent Finding Your Roots episode on PBS ... his mother was part Irish, but I forget the name
Love the Douglas' Family Hollywood legacies 👏🏼👏🏼
His mother was from New Jersey which is why Michael was born in New Brunswick
Is love a shared understanding?
I loved Fatal Attraction
Wow he looks like his dad ❤
Our forefathers would be turning in their graves if they could see whats happening in the country they started.
If Benjamin Franklin got electron flow correct, then science books would have had the electron's moving theory correct. Electron Current vs. Franklin's Conventional Current
Anyway, one smart dude.
He's a great actor,but his accent ,for the role, Ovey
Looks interesting but I will have to miss it because I don’t have that platform. He is NOT looking well. Franklin was indeed a brilliant man, but not perfect. Franklin In Paris was an interesting movie I saw a few years ago
I watched it and thought it was very disappointing
Talking about Duggar type families, Franklin was the 15th out of 17 children!
I liked his movie IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY
Sunny just waiting to throw out that race card on Franklin....
Well Franklin invented the catheter so when his health was a problem he figured out how to solve it.
Its about the war in Ukraine. The history repeats itself
What would Franklin think of a US President trying to put his political opponent in prison for crimes he didn't commit? Good question.
He would probably think that criminals should be in prison.
@@kellylappin5944 All of them?
Well done panel! !! What an informative interview . Salute Michael Douglas. Yet one comment , he was spontaneous in greeting but seeing Sunny he distanced himself, .his right to do so, only a hand shake ! Body language Sunny.. maybe you have some imner home work to do..Appreciate + Believe in individual style. You are all intelligent great woman.
Yet yr comments can be too self serving eg with Kate Monarchy on yr persisted You must know.!Thanks ladies..don't worry Trump is gonna show his toxic behaviour..and be his own downfall.
Fatal Attraction
That greeting with Sunny was awkward (cold) Then Sunny made a comment about Fatal Attraction and Dan and there is something about that movie that reminds me of myself (WTF did that mean)
didn't kiss Sunny... interesting lol That's an intentional man right there; two kisses for Whoopi. One for everyone else. None for Sunny. hmm...
Noticed that too
I lost all respect for Mr Douglas (despite the fact that he was actually born in New Brunswick NJ) when he claimed to have throat cancer from cunnilingus with his wife Katherine ZetaJones.
He will never have favor in my eyes after such a disgusting remark. 😮
Joy talks too much. She always interrupts the guest. That's so rude.
Alissa leaned in to kiss him. Sunny doesn't seem to kiss male guests.
She is wise ... so many get the wrong idea, plus you don't know where they've been in some cases ☺️
But she could have hugged him. Its nothing wrong with that at all.
@@shae6019 She might have had a cold ... after Covid, many peoples' habits have changed, and she still has a family to think of 🫢🤔😊
He's too handsome to play Benjamin Franklin.
Did this segment go better than the Coleman Hudges segment?
You comment the same thing here too. Smh. 🙄🙄
I wish they would let Alyssa talk dammit!
Looks Just like his father
Michael Douglas looks like he could be Joy behar's dad and Joy's actually older than him at 81 lol
Elon Musk vibes? For real?
elon will be in history books, that's for sure.
Sunny I really love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💘😊
Michael Douglas inspired a whole generation “greed is good.” Nothing is fabulous about this hack.
You actually knew Ben Franklin? 😯😂
Read the Biography. He was a genius; the Da-Vinci of his time!
@@JWilson-up2eu I'll do that actually. It was the title that made me laugh 🙃
An actor telling us what a dead man thinks?
I was brought up to never discuss politics, money, or religion. Now EVERYBODY has an opinion and with social media it compounds the misery. I really don't care what these silly women think and I'm just going to vote.
DO NOT compare Ukraine to the early American Colonies .......
I didn't get that comparison either...
All the hosts at the table should get up out of their chairs and hug and greet the guests rather than sitting
We don’t have all day, besides they are ladies not gentlemen.
No kiss for Sunny😂
Why is Michael Douglas weighing in on what Benjamin Franklin would think? 😂 … what, did he know him or something? lol
Viva la France that still benefits from its colonies 😂
Well him weighing in is appropriate, since Ben Franklin had syphilis of the mind, and awful people loving him…..
Don't care what an actor thinks about politics. Just do your act!!
Thank you.
They act for WORK. They're humans and American citizens before that and they have a right to their opinions
You have every right not to listen
i dont care for your opinion, but i do care about an actor's thoughts!
Gusting cons in entertainment like the usa is nwo
I don't understand. He kisses everyone except Sonny.
I wondered that too. Kissed Whoopi twice, everyone else once, and none for sunny
My impression was she refrained, as she does with 'male' guests for the most part ... nothing personal
She didn’t want kiss him
If it was not for sunny and her family we would not have slavery! Shout out to her and her family!!! 👀
Ah yes..the womanizer great actor Michael Douglas
Why would he go on the view tje worst show ever
I thought he was dead. 😶
Thought the same of you?
Franklin is dead
He still acts?? Isnt he 100
Just looked it up he’s 79 and two years younger than Joy.
😮 Aren't you a peach? How old are you?
@@PjD0150Joy is 81?
Carol Burnett still acts and she's 91. What's your point?
@@jthomasmack Carol burnett is gorgeous, that's the difference
Joy always has to bring up Trump😮
She never mentioned him!
Sure she did😮
Please invite Taylor Swift to the VIEW my wife loves her.
God these woman are dopey.
Your dopey and disrespectful too
Blah blah blah 🙄 shut upa
What does it say about you that you watch them all the time? Hmmmm. Interesting.
Yet you continue to watch...Brilliant
😮 Is your mom on here? Your aunt and sisters?
