Michael Douglas has disappointing news for his fans. The veteran actor has vowed to cover up his famous bottom.

The 61 year old Basic Instinct actor, who has bared his cheeks in nearly 10 movies, including 'Basic Instinct I' - wearing nothing but a V-neck sweater - 'Disclosure' and 'Fatal Attraction,' has decided to quit baring his backside in his forthcoming movies.

"I've dropped my pants for the last time. I was never going to do the sequel anyway," The Mirror quoted the 61 year old husband of Welsh actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, as saying.

Almost half of Douglas, a former sex-addict, involve him in a sex scene, and during his 90s heyday he even became infamous for refusing a body double.

Comic Sandra Bern-hard said of his 1992 hit Basic Instinct bum-baring, "That was offensive."(ANI)
