Michael Douglas opens up about his health battles and aging

But in a rather surprising interview in 2013، Michael Douglas opened up with another explanation. Incredibly، Douglas indicated that it was oral sex that caused his cancer.

He talked about HPV (human papillomavirus]، which is the most common sexually transmitted infection – and how it was responsible for his cancer.

”I did worry if the stress caused by my son’s incarceration didn’t help trigger it. But yeah، it’s a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer. And if you have it، cunnilingus is also the best cure for it،” Michael Douglas said.

After the attention-grabbing interview، Michaels’s spokesman claimed that the actor was walking about HPV in general and wasn’t referring to his diagnosis.

After the harrowing journey with cancer treatment، it seems Douglas enjoyed life and stayed fit. But when the COVID-19 pandemic hit، it negatively affected his health in more than one way.

“I was quite surprised to realize how much energy I had lost throughout the pandemic،” he said.

During the pandemic، Michael did ”much more couch potato–ing” and

 started getting trouble with his short-time memory and recalling details in the near term.

”My long-term memory is fine، but short-term… not so much. I’m looking into it،” explained Douglas in an interview with ARRP Magazine in 2021.

His forgetfulness، which perhaps was considered a bit charming before، is ”not fine” anymore. Since Douglas has been very open about his weed-smoking habits، many thought that was the explanation for his failing memory.

But according to the actor، his love for the dried leaves and flowers of the hemp plant isn’t to blame in this case.

”I used to blame it on pot. But I’ve got some friends who’ve been smoking as long as I have and have fabulous memories، so I don’t think that’s the issue. I’m researching it،” he said.
