Michael Douglas is a huge fan of F1, so it wasn't a surprise to see him soaking up the high-speed atmosphere at the Italian Grand Prix over the weekend.
The 79-year-old was lucky enough to get up close and personal with the Aston Martin safety car ahead of the race – but he received a shock when he attempted to sit inside the fancy ride.

As he lowered his body, Michael smacked his head on the side of the roof before stumbling into the driver's seat. You can see the incident in the video below.
As the crowd surrounding him gasped in shock, Michael appeared to take the hit in his stride before saying to the camera: "Down low, huh."
Captioning the clip, he joked: "How low can you go? I guess not enough!"
While Michael laughed off the knock to his head, many of his followers raised their concerns and urged him to "be careful".
"Ohhh my God. Watch your head, Michael. Please take care!" one commented. A second said: "Be careful, please Michael."

Alongside his recent trip to Monza, Michael has been to several countries over the summer, including Monaco, Israel and Mallorca, where he was honored with the Master of Cinema 2024 accolade at the Atlantida Mallorca Film Festival in July.

He said: "It is an honor to receive this award in Mallorca, where I have been coming for 35 years and where I enjoy my time like nowhere else...

He continued: "What happened is that at the end of 2022 I finished filming the series Franklin and then I didn't work. I continued resting in 2022 and was very happy.
"But I haven't gone, I have instructed my agent to only call me if a very special role comes up."

Catherine previously opened up about the couple's plans to move from their current home in Irvington, Westchester County, to split their time between Bermuda and Europe.

Catherine revealed that the time to move on now felt right after she and Michael became empty nesters.

"Now that both our son and daughter have left the nest it seems like the right time to sell."
