Michael Douglas' publicist has shot down reports the movie star froze his sperm before undergoing treatment for cancer so he and wife Catherine Zeta-Jones could become parents again.
The Wall Street legend has recently completed ravaging radiation and chemotherapy treatment for throat cancer and is recovering at home in New York.
According to America's Star magazine, the actor - who has a young son and daughter with Zeta-Jones - decided to have his sperm frozen in case his fertility was damaged by the radiation sessions.
But the ailing actor's rep has denied the rumours, telling Gossip.com that the bizarre report is "not true".
Douglas married the Welsh actress back in 2000 and together they have two children Dylan Michael, born in 2000, and Carys Zeta, born 2003.
Douglas also has a son from his marriage to Diandra Luker.
