Catherine Zeta-Jones admits her children could become Hollywood stars in the future!

The iconic actress, who recently revealed the secret to a happy marriage with husband Michael Douglas, is now opening up about the future of her 20-year-old son Dylan, and 17-year-old daughter Carys.

Catherine says Dylan and Carys “went off to summer camp every year, to theater camp with all the Broadway kids, and held their own very, very well, I have to say.“

She also confessed that because they both have seen first-hand the movie business, “they know what celebritydom is. They know the good, the bad, warts and all of that.”
