Michael revealed his son's battle with dyslexia back in 2010 in an interview with The Guardian. "My son deals with dyslexia to a degree," he said of his then-ten-year-old. "It runs in the family and my brother has it. He goes to a special school. "He also revealed that earlier in the year, he and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones had relocated with their children to New York due to Dylan's dyslexia. "We lived in Bermuda until last September," he said. "One of our kids has some special needs and it was recommended he go to a special school in the New York area."

This week, Michael spoke about the time he was first introduced to Catherine's parents, Patricia and David, and admitted it was a nerve-wracking experience. "Since I was about the same age that they were, I'm sure they looked me over pretty carefully," he said.
