On September 25, 2024, Catherine Zeta-Jones marked her 55th birthday, a milestone she shares with her husband of over two decades, Michael Douglas. The Welsh actress chose an unconventional way to celebrate the occasion, gifting both her husband and her fans a striking black-and-white photograph of herself posing nude in front of her bathroom vanity.
Renowned for her roles in films like The Mask of Zorro and her timeless beauty, Zeta-Jones has been a Hollywood icon since her breakout performance in 1001 Nights. Her recent social media post reaffirmed her status as one of the industry’s most captivating stars, leaving fans in awe.
The tasteful photo captures Zeta-Jones gazing into a mirror, bathed in soft sunlight streaming from the side. Wearing nothing but a pair of high heels, she captioned the Instagram post with humor:
“In my birthday suit! After over 25 years of sharing my birthday with my husband, I’m running out of gift ideas! This is gift option two—golf balls were option one, of course 🤣.”
Earlier in the day, the actress shared a nostalgic black-and-white photo from their birthday celebration 25 years ago. In the throwback image, Douglas is seen kissing her cheek as she lovingly holds his head, with her other hand intertwined with his.
“Happy Birthday to Michael and to me!! This was us on our birthday 25 years ago! I love you with all my heart ❤️,” she wrote in the caption.
While the romantic throwback touched hearts, it was the daring second post that stole the spotlight, with fans flooding her page with admiration for her boldness and beauty.
Fans were unsurprised by the flood of admiration for Michael Douglas after Catherine Zeta-Jones’ bold birthday gesture. Many declared him the luckiest man alive, with one fan humorously commenting:
“Let’s be fair, if Catherine looks like that NOW, every day is a birthday for Michael!”
Zeta-Jones has long been a Hollywood icon, with her youthful beauty and flawless figure barely seeming to change since her screen debut. Another fan celebrated her timeless appearance, writing:
“Listen, if my body looks like this at her age, I’m posting all the nudes and not caring what anyone thinks.”
Others found inspiration in the actress’s candid photo, with one fan enthusiastically declaring:
“I’m gonna copy your idea! I love this pose!!! Of course, I won’t look nearly as good as you, but the hubby will love it🔥.”
Douglas, in turn, honored his wife with a heartfelt birthday tribute. The couple, known for their enduring love despite a 25-year age gap, have often spoken about the strength of their relationship. Zeta-Jones previously addressed their age difference in an interview with Hello! Magazine, saying:
“We’re just very good with one another, we respect each other, and I never really feel that he’s 25 years older than me. I remember people saying, ‘When you’re 50, he’s going to be 75.’ Well, that’s just math.”
Douglas has often shared how he fell for the actress after watching her in The Mask of Zorro and meeting her at the 1998 Deauville Film Festival. Reflecting on their first encounter, he recalled asking his assistant:
“‘Can you find out if Catherine Zeta-Jones is coming? And is she coming alone? And if I could have a drink with her?’ The rest is history.”
Here’s wishing this power couple many more shared birthdays and years of happiness together!
