So I asked my assistant: `Can you find out if Catherine Zeta-Jones is going to be here at the festival and if she`s coming alone? And if she is, can I have a drink with her?`"The Oscar winner`s assistant came through and set up a rendezvous for the two."The next day, she arrives with Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith, and I have a drink with her and it was everything I hoped for, then she invited me to dinner with her company, I`m thinking, `I`m looking good, this is looking good.`"After dinner, the 51-year-old actor Zeta-Jones had to hurry off to another engagement, but Douglas told her that he`d be at the bar later if she wanted to join him again.<br />

The `Ant-Man` actor reminisced,"Sure enough, I must have been batting one thousand, because, after the movie, I`m sitting at the bar, and like `Laurence of Arabia,` this mirage comes through the lobby and it`s Catherine Zeta-Jones."As per Fox News, the two enjoyed a bit more time together before Douglas hit Zeta-Jones with a bold line.</p>
