Michael Douglas pulled his groin at his son's Bar Mitzvah.

The 69-year-old actor suffered the injury when he was lifted up in a chair whilst partaking in the traditional Jewish coming of age ceremony with his son Dylan.

Michael Douglas injured his groin at his son Dylan's Bar Mitzvah when he was lifted up in a chair.

During an appearance on 'The David Letterman Show', he revealed: "They have this celebration where they take you to put you up in a chair. The guys who are in the back are pushing too hard; the guys couldn't hold me at the front. I went forward and then the old groin went."

The 'Last Vegas' star - who also has daughter Carys with his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones - admits Dylan's Bar Mitzvah was a very proud day for him and the entire Douglas family.

He said: "He had a Bar Mitzvah in May, which was a tremendous success, I'm so proud of him since neither Catherine or I had a formal religious background. He did a great job."

Michael also admitted that he finds it "scary" how, as he ages, he looks more and more like his father, 97-year-old movie legend Kirk Douglas.

Michael said: "It's getting a little scary. My father called about six months ago and he said, 'Son, I saw one of my old movies on television. I couldn't remember it.'

"I said, "Dad, you're getting older.' And he said, 'No, son, it's not that ... I kept looking and I realised, it wasn't me, it was you!' "
