The internet got a little too intrigued by Michael Douglas' sex life recently, and - not surprisingly - he's looking to clarify his previous comments to quell the interest.

In an interview with The Guardian, Douglas - who is married to Catherine Zeta-Jones - spoke frankly about the possible sources of his throat cancer, pointing out that one can contract the cancer-causing human papillomavirus (HPV) from oral sex. His rep was quick to issue a statement about what he wants you to think Douglas said: "Michael Douglas did not say cunnilingus was the cause of his cancer. It was discussed that oral sex is a suspected cause of certain oral cancers as doctors in the article point out but he did not say it was the specific cause of his personal cancer."

During an interview later that day, Douglas furthered the statement, noting the internet's fascination with the story: "In the last 24 hours I have become the poster boy for oral cancer... And just so we all understand, I think we would all love to know where our cancer comes from. I simply to a reporter tried to give a PSA announcement about HPV and a virus that can cause oral cancers, and is one of the few areas of cancers that can be controlled, and there are vaccinations that kids can get. So that was my attempt."
