He’s got five Golden Globes, two Oscars and a mouthwatering cinematic resume starring in some of the most acclaimed and popular films of our time.

Despite his many accomplishments throughout his nearly 50 years in showbiz, it is Michael Douglas’ latest role in the superhero film “Ant-Man” that has finally won him the approval he’s been looking for — from his children.

“Now they think I’m cool,” the 70-year-old says of his son Dylan, 14, and daughter Carys, 12, from his marriage to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. Douglas also has son Cameron Douglas, 36, from a previous marriage.

“I’ve finally reached the point in my career where they are actually proud of their old man; that being said, there are a lot of R-rated pictures that they could not see growing up,” the “Basic Instinct” star tells “Made in Hollywood.”

He continues: “They are 14 and 12 now, so in the future they’ll get more of a sense of my body of work, but right now they are so hot to see this picture they can’t see straight.”

Douglas plays Dr. Hank Pym in “Ant-Man” opposite Paul Rudd as the titular hero. He serves as the new Ant-Man’s mentor after formerly utilizing the Ant-Man technology himself, finding a protégé in Rudd’s Scott Lang to continue using the armor to thwart evildoers.

Also starring Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Tip "T.I." Harris, the comedy-action movie hits theaters July 17.
