He's done the math, and Matt Damon sees hidden benefits to kissing Michael Douglas in their upcoming biopic about the late, flamboyant pianist, Liberace.

"I never thought I would get to kiss Michael Douglas," Damon, who will play the boyfriend of Douglas's Liberace, told PEOPLE Tuesday at the premiere of a different film, the documentary His Way, in Los Angeles.

"I kind of think of it in algebra terms, back to my high-school days," added Damon. "It's like the transitive property – by kissing Michael Douglas, I am making out with Catherine."

He's referring to Douglas's wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones.

"I was actually kind of upset that I never got to kiss Catherine," the father of four daughters deadpans, "but now I get to kiss Michael. I thought it would have been better if I could have at least kissed them both."

Nearly eight weeks after completing his grueling treatment for throat cancer, Michael Douglas is determined to move forward.

"I feel stronger every day," Douglas, 66, tells PEOPLE exclusively, "But it's a long road back."

Douglas spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Orlando visiting Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, 41, and kids, Dylan, 10, and Carys, 7. A source close to the couple says of Douglas's cancer battle: "These things can either tear families apart or make them stronger. This has definitely made them even stronger."

Michael Douglas will reprise his iconic role as Wall Street piranha Gordon Gekko in a sequel that follows the disgraced corporate raider after his release from prison (presumably for misdeeds committed in the original 1987 movie). Shia LaBeouf is also in talks to star as another young trader, but Gekko's suspenders are holding out for more money.

"It will be really fun and, it's a perfect time," Douglas tells Ellen DeGeneres on today's show.

Michael Douglas has been selected by the American Film Institute's board of trustees to receive the 37th AFI Life Achievement Award, which will be presented to him at a gala tribute on June 11 in Los Angeles.

"Michael Douglas is the rightful heir to the throne of the royal family of American film," Howard Stringer, chair of the AFI board, said in announcing the honor. "Though he is most beloved as one of the great leading men of the movies, Michael is also a most accomplished film producer and, ultimately, an artist whose films have been elevated in the pantheon of American film."

Douglas' father, Kirk, was similarly lauded by the AFI in 1991.

Douglas has won two Oscars ­ a best actor nod for 1987's "Wall Street" and a best picture win for producing 1975's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
His upcoming films include "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" and "The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past."
