Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones says she was done with apologising for her star status.

The Welsh actress, 48, who is married to Hollywood veteran Michael Douglas, says she no was longer intimidated by the criticism that celebrities receive for their lifestyle. “One thing I’m not, is humble anymore. I’m sick of being humble. I really am. ‘So sorry I’m rich, so sorry I’m married to a movie star, so sorry I’m not-so-bad-looking.’ No sorrys. Enough,” Zeta-Jones told Daily Mirror.

“All that is important to me now is my work. That’s what I love, and the rest of my life is a joy because I’ve got two beautiful kids and a healthy, happy husband. It’s all good, and I’m not going to be humble for that.”

The actress said she was happy that her children, Dylan, 17, and Carys, 15, were willing to pursue acting and follow in the footsteps of their grandfather Kirk Douglas and father Michael. “They want the craft because that’s what they love, she said.

Zeta-Jones also said she was not always sure about her work. “What shaped me as an actor, more than anything, is getting older. I genuinely lost my mojo... Somewhere along the middle I got frightened again and I started to question myself as an actor, my choices. As I matured as a woman, as a mother, as a wife, I’m not scared anymore,” she said.
