Actor Michael Douglas was awarded the “Jewish Nobel” in a lavish ceremony last night in Jerusalem.
Mr Douglas, 70, was honoured with the Genesis prize for his commitment to Jewish values and the Jewish people.
His wife, actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, and their two children Dylan and Carys, were all at the event at the Jerusalem Theatre to support him.
In a speech, he thanked his son for choosing to have a barmitzvah last year and cited the inspiration of his father, actor Kirk Douglas, who celebrated his second barmitzvah at the age of 83.
