Michael Douglas has written a touching letter to the judge due to sentence his drug-dealer son.

The Hollywood star’s son Cameron faces a minimum of 10 years in prison when he is sentenced in New York. But his famed dad tells Judge Richard Berman that his son’s imprisonment has been good for Cameron.

“For the past eight months, I have cherished my two hr. a week in person conversation with Cameron at the MCC [Metropolitan Correctional Center]. He’s sober!” Douglas wrote in a five-page letter. “I get to witness the wonderful young man he can be. He maintains his spirit, blames no one but himself, and recognizes his criminal activity began with his heroin use.”

Douglas has pleaded guilty to selling large quantities of methamphetamine and cocaine at Manhattan’s Hotel Gansevoort in 2009.

“Dear Judge Berman, I don’t want to burden you with a litany of my son, Cameron’s rehab history, beginning at 13,” Douglas wrote in the letter made public on Monday.

“He’s an adult and responsible for his own life. We do know, however, that genes, family, and peer pressure are all a strong influence on a substance abuser.”

Douglas adds that his son ‘grew up a single child in a bad marriage’. And the star insisted that many of Cameron’s problems came from growing up in one of Hollywood’s royal families.

“I have some idea of the pressure of finding your own identity with a famous father. I’m not sure I can comprehend it with two generations to deal with.”

Douglas’ letter was the latest in a string to the judge from the likes of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Kirk Douglas.
