The Fatal Attraction star bears his father’s name as his middle name, though the late Paths of Glory actor’s original name is Issur Danielovitch Demsky. He was born in Amsterdam in 1916. 

Michael is his son with his first wife, Diana Douglas, who he also had Joel Douglas with, and later Eric and Peter Douglas with Anne Buyden, who he was married to until his death. She passed away the following year.

The The Kominsky Method star captioned the sweet post with: “#TBT Love and miss you Dad! #KirkDouglas.”

The touching tribute

The photo is seriously too cute, as his dad is tightly hugging him with his smiling face close to his son’s cheek, who is smiling just as much as he grabs onto his dad’s arms, wearing a preppy v-neck, cable knit sweater.

Fans inundated his comment with kind words in response to the heartfelt tribute, endearingly writing: “Thoughts and prayers. It’s so difficult to lose a parent. It’s a strange void that you feel like you should be looking for, but then remember, they are gone,” and: “No matter how long it is, you never forget,” as well as: “I’m old enough to have watched his entire career. One of the greats – like YOU.”
