Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas celebrate a joint birthday
Happy birthday to Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas!
The Chicago star took to Instagram to show fans how she and her husband are celebrating their birthday together on Sunday.
Zeta-Jones is 53 and Douglas is 78.
“It’s our birthday !!” the actress squirted in one of her posts. “After 24 years of celebrating our special day together, I still can’t wait😂😘😂 I love you !!! a la votre !!!!!!!!!! “
Zeta-Jones later shared the video her and Douglas on their way to an undisclosed location in a private jet.
The roughly 15-second clip started with an actress declaring, “It’s our birthday!” before she goes up to Douglas and says, “Happy birthday, honey!”
The actor cut in, saying, “Happy birthday, honey!” while simultaneously lifting the thumbs from their seat a few feet away.
For his part, Douglas also recognized this opportunity from festive post on Instagram featuring couple embracing the nearby Taj Mahal.
Happy birthday Catherine! I love you always and forever ❤️ ”he wrote it.
Two Hollywood legends met in 1998 at a film festival. Douglas later admitted to doing somewhat awkward things at the time, in a sincere attempt at sweet conversation with his current wife.
“I told her after about half an hour [into hanging out for the first time]’You know, I will be the father of your children’ ” he recalled during his performance on “The Jonathan Ross Show” in 2016.
“And she said, ‘You know, I’ve heard a lot about you and I’ve seen a lot about you, and I think it’s time for me to say goodnight.”
Fortunately for both of them, Zeta-Jones was finally able to look beyond the initial cockiness of the “Basic Instinct” star and accept a date with an actor.
Years later, the couple tied the knot in 2000. They share two children – son Dylan, 22, and daughter Carys, 19.
