Michael Douglas: 'I've Taken Blame for Being a Bad Father'
In an interview with the "Today Show" Monday, Michael Douglas opened up about his son Cameron's five-year jail sentence on drug charges.
The actor/producer went on to say that he blames himself for his son's behavior. "I've taken blame about being a bad father -- if being a bad father is working your butt off trying to create a career at one time," said Douglas. "When I had Cameron, I was early in my career and as opposed to most jobs, making movies takes you all around the world, so you were absentee in that sense."
Cameron, 31, was convicted on drug charges following his arrest for drug possession last July at a Manhattan hotel. He confessed to dealing methamphetamine and cocaine.
