CAMERON DOUGLAS HOPES TATTOO REMOVAL WILL IGNITE ACTING CAREER

Michael Douglas brought his son Cameron to the Hollywood premier of his movie Ant-Man and the Wasp, perhaps hoping to introduce him to some people to help his career. In 2016, Cameron was released from prison after serving seven years for drug charges (including TWO years in solitary confinement!) He worked at a film production company in New York before he moved to LA with his wife and baby. Cameron, 39, wants to resume acting and he’s been diligently removing his prison tattoos – perhaps to avoid to being typecast. So far, he’s only done a short film – but we figure his family connections will eventually pay off…

Re: Ant-Man and the Wasp: While we love Paul Rudd, this movie’s purpose is to glorify men, while women are reduced to “daughters” and “wives” of little consequence. That’s what you get with all-male writers.

PRISON CHANGED CAMERON DOUGLAS

Ex-convict Cameron Douglas, 38, reminds us of Riz Ahmed’s character in The Night Of. When he went into prison around 8 years ago, he was kind of pasty looking with glasses. When he was paroled he was a whole new person- all muscle and covered with tattoos. Has he changed INSIDE as much as he did outside? He’s quite a ladies man – while incarcerated his then-girlfriend smuggled drugs to him and his female lawyer did also. That got him more time. In June he tested positive for marijuana. He’s been out for a year and already hooked up with a yoga instructor who is pregnant with his child.

WINNING AN EMMY WAS GOOD FOR BOTH MICHAEL DOUGLAS AND HIS SON CAMERON

Usually it’s annoying when actors who win awards bring up unrelated self-serving subjects in their acceptance speeches. When Michael Douglas collected his Emmy for “Behind the Candelabra” he complained about his son Cameron’s inhumane treatment in prison. (Cameron is serving time for drug charges) His son had been in solitary confinement for two years and wasn’t allowed visitors. Douglas said “I’m questioning the system.” His remarks may have done some good. According to RadarOnline, Cameron is no longer in solitary. Indeed, it did seem like horrible and extreme punishment for drug offenses. We’re happy for Michael AND Cameron.

Michael Douglas will not be gratified to hear that his son Cameron, 34, was beaten up while serving his ten year stretch in prison for dealing crystal meth and smuggling drugs into jail. According to the NY Post, word got out that he testified against his drug suppliers and they taught him a jailhouse lesson. Cameron ended up with a broken leg. Also alarming is the fact that in order to fit in better with his cellmates. Cameron has been getting gangster style jailhouse tattoos. He’s been working as a weekend orderly in a housing unit, earning $1.65 a month.

THE TRAGEDY OF CAMERON DOUGLAS

What good can possibly come from locking up Michael Douglas’s son Cameron in jail for ten years to life? His track record isn’t nearly as bad as Farrah Fawcett’s son Redmond, but he’s confessed to drug dealing and that is the resulting sentence. He didn’t injure anybody and he didn’t get caught driving under the influence – he’s a danger mostly to himself. It’s a nonviolent, victimless crime. He’s messed up, but these harsh drug laws need to be revised. Personally, we take enormous satisfaction in seeing REAL criminals punished, but this is different. Prison is not always the answer. We feel awful for Michael Douglas, who showed up in court for Cameron.
