In a new episode of ‘Discover Your Roots,’ Michael Douglas learned he is the distant cousin of Scarlett Johansson.
Michael Douglas was shocked to learn he shares more than just credits in the same movie with his Marvel co-star Scarlett Johansson.
The actor appeared on Tuesday’s (April 2) episode of Finding Your Roots, a long-running PBS series hosted by Henry Louis Gates Jr. in which he analyzes celebrity ancestral histories. The show has become known for uncovering surprising connections between Hollywood stars, and the superhero actor was no exception.
At the end of Douglas’ episode, Gates compared the DNA he collected from Douglas to that of other celebrity guests who have appeared on the show.
When Douglas flipped to the last page of his “book of life” detailing his family tree, he was shocked to see a picture of Johansson.
