Michael Douglas felt the harshest effects of fame at an early age. While reflecting on what it was like being the son of movie star Kirk Douglas, the Basic Instinct star revealed that he narrowly escaped two men attempting to kidnap him outside of his family’s New York apartment. “When I was 8 years old, I was swinging around on the awning outside of our apartment building,” Douglas recalled in his memoir One Helluva Ride, which was released Oct. 6. “Out of the corner of my eye, I glimpsed a man pressing himself against the building’s wall, behind the front door. He was looking right at me.” Then, Douglas noted that he noticed “another man striding directly toward” him from across the street—and both men began to encroach upon him. “I began to back down the sidewalk,” he recalled. “The two men kept coming. I felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest. I reached the end of our building and dashed down a ramp to the basement. As I opened the basement door, I turned back and saw they were chasing me.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/videos/2516704835880/michael-douglas-details-escaping-terrifying-kidnapping-attempt-as-a-child?query=michael%20
