This comes after Douglas was left shocked after discovering he is related to Scarlett Johansson.

The Wall Street star appeared on PBS series Finding Your Roots to delve into his ancestry, and he was stunned to find out the ‘Black Widow’ star – who he appeared alongside in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame – is a ‘DNA cousin’ of his.

When told the news on the show, Michael said: ‘Are you kidding? Oh, that’s amazing. All right. This is cool. This is so cool.’

Finding Your Roots presenter Henry Louis Gates Jr. delivered the news to Michael, and told him that he and the 39-year-old actress ‘share identical branches of DNA on four different chromosomes’.

Henry said the branches of DNA ‘appear on Scarlett’s maternal lines, which stretch back to Jewish communities in Eastern Europe’.

Michael admitted it was ‘incredible’ to find out he and Scarlett were related, and he ‘looks forward’ to seeing her again.
