Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are spilling parenthood secrets.
The couple—who share son Dylan, 23, and daughter Carys, 20—know the trick to getting their adult kids to hang out with them is by taking them on exciting, luxury vacations.
"We've got good trips," Michael said on Today on April 16, before joking, "We seduce them with good places to go."
However, it's not only the hot destinations that entice the twenty-somethings to go on family vacations: Michael explained his children genuinely seem to enjoy time with their parents.
"Catherine and I are blessed with the fact that our kids Dylan and Carys still like to travel with us," he said. "And so we just finished five weeks in India at Christmastime. And we're always planning next year, what our trips will be and where we'll go."
"It's just a treat," he added, noting that it was especially gratifying that they don't have to force Dylan and Carys to spend time with them. As the Wall Street star said to his wife of 23 years, "Catherine, look, they actually want to hang out with us!"
Naturally, Michael—who is also father to son Cameron, 45, with ex-wife Diandra Luker—wanted to capture the moment, chronicling their most recent family vacation to India on Instagram.
"Sightseeing with the best," he wrote on Dec. 5, alongside photos of Catherine and Dylan. He also shared a solo shot of Dylan, writing, "My boy in Mumbai."
Not to be left out, Catherine also got in on the action, posting a photo of the quartet with the caption, "Selfie stick silliness."
And as for where Catherine and Michael see Dylan and Carys going with their future? Don't be surprised if they follow in the family footsteps and join the entertainment industry.
"If they want to do it, they know the hardships and the percentages of who makes it and who doesn't," Catherine said in a 2017 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "So I just think that they've got the talent and I know that they have the drive."
For more of Michael, Catherine and their family over the years, keep reading for all that jazz.
