Still side by side after 64 years, Kirk and wife

- By Faye White Showbusine­ss Reporter

AFTER 64 years of happy marriage, Kirk Douglas and his wife are still inseparabl­e.

The pair, who have a combined age of 200, were spotted enjoying a day out in Los Angeles.

Douglas, 101, and his wife Anne Buydens, 99, were pushed along in wheelchair­s by their carers.

Hollywood star Douglas has been married to the former actress and producer since 1954, a year before he starred in the film Lust for Life as the artist Vincent van Gogh.

Douglas sported a white shirt with top button undone, a pair of navy blue trousers and slip-on loafers, leaving his ankles exposed. His wife wore a green long-sleeved top and covered up with a grey blanket.

The Spartacus actor will turn 102 in December, but still tries to keep active – and son Michael Douglas revealed this year that his father still exercises with a personal trainer.

The 73-year-old actor told TV host Lorraine Kelly: ‘He still has a trainer. He works out with a trainer at 101.

‘I remember when Dad was 90 and he had a guy that he worked out with for more than 30 years, 40 years, Mike Abrams.

‘I went to see Dad one day, he was 90 and wasn’t feeling so good. I said, “Dad, what’s wrong? You don’t look good.” He said, “Ah, Mike died.” I said, “Ah Dad I’m so sorry, Mike died? How old was Mike, Dad?” “94.”’
