The small-screen star revealed Kirk was the main reason he fell in love with Western films.
Eamonn wrote: “I first saw Kirk Douglas when I was seven at The Capitol Cinema on The Antrim Road in Belfast. It’s now a Tesco. My Dad loved Westerns and as a result so did I. The film was The War Wagon and in it Kirk tells how he got the dimple in his chin! You’ll have to watch it now. #ripkirk Screen Legend.”
Fans flocked to comment on the post, as one person said: “Complete legend. Sleeping on his ring to make the dimple.”
Another person remarked: “RIP such legend just loved his performance in Spartacus an amazing man what achievement to reach 103…still sad sending all love prayers to his family at this time.”
“Sad news. The last of the greats,” another fan remarked.
Eamonn’s post comes after Kirk’s Oscar-winning son Michael Douglas confirmed the news of his dad’s death via Instagram.
“It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers and I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103,” Michael said.
“To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard for all of us to aspire to.”
“Kirk’s life was well-lived, and he leaves a legacy in film that will endure for generations to come, and a history as a renowned philanthropist who worked to aid the public and bring peace to the planet.
“Let me end with the words I told him on his last birthday and which will always remain true. Dad – I love you so much and I am so proud to be your son.”
Kirk was best known for his role in the 1960 historical action-packed film Spartacus, which won a Golden Globe and four Oscars.
He is survived by his wife of 65 years Anne Buydens, and his three sons Michael, Joel, and Eric.
Elsewhere, Eamonn’s wife took to Instagram to candidly tell followers how the menopause thinned her blonde locks and forced her to add extensions to keep her bob looking full.
The TV presenter admitted her Surrey-based hairdresser uses extensions to keep her mane thick and bouncy.
Ruth first shared a post on her Instagram story, which showed her sporting an unusually long do.
Locks of blond hair flowed down her shoulders as she called herself Rapunzel, and joked in the caption: “Long hair don’t care.”
