The Oscar-winner, who faces chemo and radiation for his throat tumour, is, however, thrilled with what he's achieved so far.

Hollywood star Michael Douglas, who was recently diagnosed with throat cancer, now thinks he lost out on a lot of fun while working hard for fame.

"Maybe I could have relaxed a little more and had more fun," News of the World quoted him as saying.

"But I felt I'd a lot to prove to my father (Hollywood icon Kirk, now 93) so I had to succeed," he added.

The Oscar-winner, who faces chemo and radiation for his throat tumour, is, however, thrilled with what he's achieved so far.

"Yeah, I like my batting average," said Douglas, 65.

And he still plans to promote new movie Wall Street 2 before its September release.
