Michael-Kathleen reunite in The Kominsky Method

Michael Douglas said that though he and Kathleen Turner only had one scene together and that too over a phone call, he felt their old rhythm was back.

Los Angeles: Michael Douglas says it was "comfortable and fun" to work again with Kathleen Turner decades after they starred in three classic films together.

The duo, who starred in Romancing the Stone, Jewel of the Nile and War of the Roses, play exes in the second season of Netflix's The Kominsky Method, which centers on two dear friends (Douglas and Alan Arkin) as they experience the reality and sometimes hilarity of aging.

Though the two only have one scene together and that too over a phone call, Douglas said their old rhythm was back.

"The beauty of working with anybody more than once is that you know them," the 75-year-old Douglas said. "So you don't have to go through the whole formality of meeting each other and trying this and that. You have a natural, comfortable quality, number one. Number two, you know you're good together, so you don't worry about stepping on each other's lines and overlapping ... It's a comfort factor that makes it a lot more fun."

Douglas said a cancer storyline in the second season of the show didn't overwhelm him emotionally even though he survived stage four cancer himself.

"I'm eight years out now. Thank you. Cancer free. I get checked out every year," he said. "I kind of move on. I mean, certainly have a sensory recall, you understand about what the concerns are. But I can separate my acting day from reality. So it's OK."

He said two of his friends died of the same cancer he had – performing artist Nick Ashford of Ashford and Simpson and actor Larry Hagman of "Dallas."

"So I was a little concerned, but I just sort of went with the flow," he said. "I got the best medical help I could get and figured I'm not going to fret about this unless it doesn't work out. But they got it."

The second season of The Kominsky Method premiered Friday.
