Michael Douglas might be 73 years of age but that isn't stopping him from being cast into some of today's most popular films. It's nearly impossible to remain relevant in any industry for five decades but yet, Douglas has achieved to do so in the cut-throat entertainment industry. Michael Douglas got his big break on the popularized television series The Streets of San Francisco which has propelled his career and landed him roles in films like The War of the Roses, The American President, The Game, Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct, Falling Down, Last Vegas, and most recently Marvel's Ant-Man series.
Unfortunately, Michael Douglas has a rather interesting doppelganger that he looks more and more like as he ages in the first president of the United States of America, George Washington. One of the nation's Founding Fathers, the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and the man who never told a lie, which is a total lie by the way, does favor Michael Douglas so any movie studios out there want to write us a casting check for the next Washington movie, don't be shy.
