Michael Douglas could have had a really distinct major lady in the traditional rom-com “Romancing the Stone” — if Debra Winger wasn’t so mouthy.
The “Terms of Endearment” star designed rather the impact on Douglas just before she shed the iconic ’80s purpose to Kathleen Turner.
Douglas, 77, a short while ago claimed on Rob Lowe’s “Pretty much!” podcast that three-time Oscar nominee Winger little bit his arm and made “break down in tears” all through a pre-shoot meal with director Robert Zemeckis.
The pair were being “knocking again tequilas” and acquiring a friendly chat so points seemed to be going perfectly.
But right after the food had finished and they designed their way out of the eatery, Winger allegedly leaned more than and chomped at the “Fatal Attraction” star’s arm like a piece of steak.
“We stroll out and, just as you would sort of go ‘Oh you!’ and give anyone a very little punch in the arm, she goes ‘Oh you!’ and she reaches around and she bites me on my arm. I’m like, ‘Aaargh!’ She bites me,” Douglas recalled to host Lowe, 58.
The “Wall Street” star extra, “She’s joking and I’m looking at her and go, ‘I really don't know, I’m thinking this could be rough…’ she’s damaged the skin!”
Some time later, Douglas was talking with Zemeckis at the studio and the incident with Winger came up in discussion.
“I split down in tears, ‘I can’t go into the jungle with her, she bit me, glimpse! She bit me in the arm,’ ” Douglas claimed.
The Post has reached out to Winger’s camp for comment.
“Romancing the Stone” advised the tale of mercenary and a romance author who drop in enjoy even though on a Indiana Jones-esque journey by way of the jungle alongside one another.
“Body Heat” stunner Turner, 67, was later on instructed as Winger’s replacement and she went on to make cinematic history in the role. Douglas and Turner reunited for the 1985 sequel “The Jewel of the Nile.” She also won the Best Actress Golden World in 1985 for her portrayal of creator Joan Wilder, and went on to score Oscar and Tony nods as effectively.
The traditional movie duo later reunited as battling exes in 2021 for Netflix’s “The Kominsky Process.”
In the meantime, Winger, 66, didn’t precisely absence for get the job done — or legendary primary adult males — soon after missing out on the “Stone” job: The “Urban Cowboy” badass earned Oscar nods for “Officer and Gentleman” opposite Richard Gere, “Terms of Endearment” with Jack Nicholson and “Shadowlands” with Anthony Hopkins.
Even so, she did go on to miss out on out on another iconic job: She infamously fouled out of 1992’s “A League of Their Own” about Madonna’s “stunt” casting — and was changed by Geena Davis in the main role.
“Ant-Man” actor Douglas also lately mirrored on the tips that his late father, Kirk Douglas, gave him as he was making his film profession. The “Spartacus” star died in February 2020 at the age of 103.
Douglas spoke with the producers of the Fourth Yearly Meihodo Worldwide Youth Visible Media Competition back in February and reviewed the foreseeable future of films and his famous dad.
“Having a father who was a movie star and mother [Diana Douglas] as an actress, I was equipped to check out their insecurities and see that what was on the display was not just what that person was like,” he reported.
