Catherine Zeta-Jones is insecure
She has beauty, a loving family, a luxurious lifestyle and an Oscar, but Catherine Zeta-Jones still has moments of self-doubt.
“I’m more insecure than I ever let anyone know,” Zeta-Jones (37) tells InStyle in its July issue. The actress, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for Chicago in 2003, admits, “Sometimes you protect yourself with this kind of armour that people see more than they see you.”
And she and husband Michael Douglas are determined that their kids Dylan (6) and Carys (4) are modest and well-behaved. “We believe in good manners,” she says. “There’s nothing worse than spoilt rich kids.”
Though Dylan and Carys attend school in Bermuda, they wear traditional British uniforms and make yearly visits to Zeta-Jones’s native Wales, which she wants her children to be proud of. “They can sing Jingle Bells in Welsh!” she says.
As for her career, Zeta-Jones says she’s reached a balance between work and her personal life, but always puts family first.
“Years ago if someone said they were doing a movie in Romania, I was, like, ‘What time is my flight?’,” she says. “I couldn’t see beyond the script. Now, I’m like, ‘Script? I’ll figure that out after dealing with the people I love more than anything in the world’.”
