A few days ago, paparazzi took photos of famous Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, 53, and her husband, acting icon Michael Douglas, 78, leaving an Italian restaurant. The star couple have been enjoying a romantic vacation in Portofino, Italy.

As they strolled around the beautiful city after enjoying some Italian cuisine, the always fashionable Zeta-Jones adorned a floral dark purple long and flowy dress and chic sunglasses that framed her face. She paired her look with beige and black platform wedge shoes while her dashing beau rocked a dark blue dress shirt and white pants.

Despite one comment from a user attempting to dismiss the other users' concerns, many others continued to assert that Douglas was not looking well. Other viewers of the pictures questioned whether everything was ok with the star health-wise. One user likened Douglas' hands to King Charles':

"King Charles has that issue as well.. It's probably embarrassing when it's reported in the news for them.. And his hands look swollen & small / and it's hard to hide your hands."

Michael Douglas Is a Devoted Dad and Husband in His 70s

Douglas may be in his 70s, but he remains robust, and out of all the amazing feats he has accomplished throughout his life and career, he deems his family as his biggest blessing. Douglas and Zeta-Jones share a 22-year-old son, Dylan Douglas, and a 20-year-old daughter, Carys Douglas.

The couple wed in 2000 and have been married for over 20 years. According to the "Fatal Attraction" star, he never saw Zeta-Jones coming, and her entry into his life was somewhat of an unexpected yet pleasant surprise.

Despite fans expressing concern about Douglas' health, there has been no word or confirmation about the star facing any current health issues.

Though the duo, who spent a decade in Bermuda before moving to New York, have a 25-year age gap, Douglas confirmed their disregard for caring about that detail in their relationship. Instead, he focuses on staying fit and keeping active to raise his young kids to the best of his ability:

"I like to get them up in the morning and get them ready for school. I make them breakfast, and we talk about their day. I like to know who their friends are."

Douglas continued to boast about his close bond with his kids and the sense of security they feel, which he helps foster. Additionally, the "Wall Street" talent revealed in a 2010 interview that instead of continuing to be consumed with work, he directed his attention to being the best dad and husband possible. He reported being more than happy with Zeta-Jones working while he stayed home with their kids.

During the same interview, Douglas also spoke about how he and Zeta-Jones take their children to see their grandparents from their mother's side in Wales every summer. He finished the interview by stating:

"From now on, I'm going to spend all my efforts on the people I'm closest to... As you get older, all of a sudden, you begin to appreciate relationships, be understanding about the foibles of life, more forgiving — and you've got more time for the kids. It makes for a much happier marriage and family environment."
