Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas’ 15-year-old daughter Carys has made her modelling debut, joining her famous mother on the cover of the new issue of Town & Country magazine.
Carys looks just like her famous mother in the issue titled ‘Modern Swan’ which introduces an up-and-comer hailing from Hollywood royalty.
Despite growing up in one of the most famous families in Hollywood, the teen says her parents raised her and brother Dylan, 17, away from the sparkling lights of tinsel town, spending their early years in Bermuda before later relocating to Manhattan.
“I thought my dad was a pancake maker,” she told Town & Country. “I didn’t know he was an actor. Honestly.”
“My parents do a really good job of reality-checking me and being like, ‘Look around you. The life you have is extraordinary,’” she added.

A decision that Zeta-Jones said was a very deliberate one.
“What I instilled in my kids, and I’m very, very proud of it, is manners,” Zeta-Jones says. “There’s nothing worse than a privileged kid without manners. I drilled it into them like boot camp. The teenage years… She knows she cannot roll her eyes at me, or huff and puff around me. I never did it to my mother, and she’s not doing it to me.”
Carys, who has dreams of acting and medical school, says she has to work extra hard to prove herself and make her own mark because of the expectations that come with the “Douglas Dynasty”.
“I think what bothers me the most is that people think I don’t work hard for it, that I don’t need to work hard for it. That anything I do gets handed to me. When, honestly, I feel like it’s the opposite. I feel I need to constantly prove myself to people—that I am not just my parents’ daughter.”
