Douglas was forced to take a break from acting in 2010 when he underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment for throat cancer. The illness and aggressive treatment caused him to lose more than two stone in weight. In January 2011, he revealed in an interview that the tumour had gone, but he needs to attend regular screenings as there is a very high likelihood that the cancer could return. He has returned to movie-making however, with a subsequent appearance in Haywire.
