Catherine Zeta-Jones is a doting mum to children Dylan, 20, and Carys, 17, who she shares with husband Michael Douglas.
And even though they are both studying history and politics, Catherine revealed that her kids have expressed an interest in acting – despite Michael's warnings about their hopeful career path.
