In spite of the recent announcement that he has been battling cancer - and the respected actor has been attending frenzied red-carpet premieres to promote his new flick - "Money Never Sleeps" (the sequel to Wall Street) - Michael Douglas (starring) has been pretty low-key about the season ahead at press junkets this past few days.
"Tennis has never been better, college football just started and it's been a great weekend of college football," he joked to a National magazine, off the cuff.
No bluesy moments for the A-list star who has - not only been optimistic and upbeat about his chances for survival - but straightforward about the fact he is undergoing intensive radiation and chemotherapy.
Although the treatment has left Douglas exhausted on some days - and he has a difficult time speaking, eating and swallowing - he has kept a stiff upper lip and refused to be a downer to his circle of supportive friends.
"I've got a Monday-night game coming up with the Jets, so sports looks really good. And to top it off, we have a picture that's rocking," he said.
"So, what's not to like?"
The film - which features Charlie Sheen in a cameo role - opens in wide release on Sept. 24th.
The much-anticipated follow-up pic also stars Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan,.
Oliver Stone helmed the intense drama which picks up where "Wall Street" left off.
Douglas plays a trader who is released from prison trying to heal wounds with his estranged daughter.
A review will follow.
