Catherine Zeta-Jones Says Owning Her Four Homes Is ‘Not Excessive’

Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas keep their Academy Awards in different houses.

Actor Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn’t think owning four homes in three different countries is “excessive”—just “comfortable.” The Mask of Zorro and Wednesday star owns two homes in New York, one in Canada and one in Spain with her husband of 25 years, the actor Michael Douglas. “I know it sounds very jet set, and I love to surround myself with beauty but it’s not excessive, it’s very comfortable,” Zeta-Jones said during an interview with The Times of London. So comfortable in fact that she and Douglas can keep their Academy Awards in different houses. “Mine is in the country house in New York,” said Zeta-Jones, 55, who won the Oscar award for Best Supporting Actress in 2003 for her role as Velma Kelly in Chicago. “Michael’s is in the apartment in New York. We keep them apart, just in case, you know, there isn’t like hanky-panky going on there,” she added. Douglas, 80, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for playing Gordo Gekko in the 1988 film Wall Street. Zeta-Jones currently stars as Morticia Addams in Netflix’s reimagining of the Addams family. She’s also shooting the Amazon series Kill Jackie and will appear alongside Natalie Portman in the film The Gallerist.
