Oscar winner Michael Douglas is the first to admit he's not a great dancer — well, at least not compared to his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones.

But on Friday nights, the actor, 79, will kick off with the weekend with a little dance party at home.

"I do tend to crank the music up on a Friday and dance around," he recently told PEOPLE for the 50th anniversary issue. "But I’m a little intimidated because my wife is a pretty extraordinary dancer. I have a couple of swing moves down, the spin. She makes me look good."

Douglas, who stars as Benjamin Franklin in the new Apple TV+ limited series Franklin, chatted with the magazine for One Last Thing:

Last guilty pleasure
It’s got to be golf. I’m blessed with the fact that I have a wife who loves playing too. Now that we’re empty nesters, I love going out just the two of us without feeling guilty about the kids being home.

Last time I was moved to tears
My son Dylan was just doing a play in New York, which I missed, but Catherine and his sister [Carys] went. When I heard on the phone how good he was, I definitely had a couple of tears of happiness.

Last date night
We had dinner with Carol Burnett and her husband, Brian, at a restaurant in Santa Barbara. Catherine was goo-goo about Carol growing up, and it was fun to see her so excited.

Last game I played
Blackjack in Vegas. That’s my go-to game—short and sweet. The longer you stay, the worse it gets. So 45 minutes and then walk away. Even if I’m on a roll, I’ll end it with a nice tip for the dealer, and I’m out of there.
