Douglas said he thinks Cameron is "relieved" knowing the length of his sentence, and the road that lies ahead. He said that Cameron's public struggles mark one of the downsides of celebrity, as less famous offenders in similar predicaments wouldn’t receive the same fanfare.

The actor said he's also relieved the sentencing has passed, and thanked well-wishers for the sympathetic cards and letters he's received throughout this ordeal.
