Michael Douglas revealed the moment he realised his wife of 24 years Catherine Zeta Jones was 'the one' during an interview for daytime TV show Lorraine.

The Hollywood alum, 79, revealed he and the Welsh actress, 54, are more in love than ever as he shared the moving story on Friday.

The Basic Instinct star took a trip down the memory lane as he fondly recalled the moment he fell for Catherine, and it was all down their common passion, golf.

Chatting to Ross King, he said: 'You know, Catherine loves golf. That was actually kind of the closest we first got together.

'Things were looking good and I said 'What do you think of golf?' She said 'Oh, I love golf!', and I said 'Oh, you do?'. That's too good to be true.'
